I have a program that i want to execute every 5 minutes, if, and only if,
|
|
i have a slip connection up. at present, i have a script which makes the
|
|
slip connection, then executes the following:
|
|
|
|
while [ 1 = 1 ]
|
|
do
|
|
getpop
|
|
sleep 300
|
|
done
|
|
|
|
1) is there a better way?
|
|
|
|
2) how can i kill a bunch of programs - i.e., how can i write a
|
|
script that gets the pids of a bunch of programs, then kills 'em?

There's a s-linux.h file in newspak.

|
|

I'm having some problems when trying to reach certain sites. If I ping,
|
|
I get a "No route to host" error message. When I traceroute, I see the
|
|
hops all the way to the target host and then it times out. One specific
|
|
such site is autodesk.com. When I asked my network provider sysadm, he,
|
|
obviously, said the problem is "at the other end" and the conversation
|
|
died right there.
|
|
|
|
Question: Where do I find more about all this routing that goes on
|
|
between sites? How to debug a routing problem? And finally, how to send
|
|
a bag of rotten cabbage to your sysadm through email? :)

Perhaps one of your programs dealing with mail can't run safely setuid root and
|
|
so need to be setgid to group mail (or daemon). In this case you need to "chgrp"
|
|
the mail boxes to mail. I advice you to set the "setgid" flag of your spool as
|
|
well so new mailboxes will get created with ownership to group mail.

Change the "domainname" to "dnsdomainname" and you will get the domain.

I'm still pretty new to linux...can you e-mail me your s-linux.h file,

or at least tell me what has to be defined? I tried and I can't get it to

compile (all kinds of errors).

Maybe put it in CRON ? like this:
|
|
|
|
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /home/foo/.bin/nettest host
|
|
And in nettest file test with ping utility if the host responds, if
|
|
not, execute the script that brings up slip connection.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
ps wxa | grep "slip"| awk '{ print $1 }' > /tmp/$$
|
|
kill -9 `cat /tmp/$$`
|
|
rm /tmp/$$
|
|
|
|
This for example finds anything with *slip* in it from ps and kills
|
|
them.

Problem:

_setutent: Can't open utmp file: No such file or directory.
|
|
|
|
Your libc is looking for utmp in a different place than where you have
|
|
it. It will either be /etc/utmp or /var/adm/utmp, depending on what
|
|
you have in <paths.h>. Check the _PATH_UTMP macro in this file, and
|
|
touch utmp in either /etc or /var/adm depending on what is defined.

Not sure how the 8900CL differs from the 8900C, but I had an 8900C and it
|
|
was truly pathetic. Its speed was fine in DOS, but under Windows, OS/2,
|
|
and Linux/X it was horrible. Scrolling in an xterm or shell window took
|
|
forever, and shot the CPU meter through the roof. I now have an Orchid
|
|
Fahrenheit 1280+ with 1 Meg and an S3 chip, and I scroll like blazes
|
|
without affecting the CPU at all. It does have that font bug (I'm still
|
|
running XFree 2.0), but I hardly care. I use restorefont from SVGAlib
|
|
and I have no trouble. The card cost me about $150 mail order, and that
|
|
was almost a year ago. I'm talking ISA here in both cases, on a 486DX33.
|
|
I get about 58,000 xstones now, which is more than 10 times as many as
|
|
I got with the Trident.

If there exists an FAQ answer sheet, a HOWTO, or some other document, which

|
|
|
|
Otherwise, please help!
|
|
|
|
I want to install Linux on a server/client network at a university in South
|
|
America. The clients are 386s without hard drives, they boot from floppies and
|
|
attach to the 1Gbyte fileserver (which is a 486) using Novell netware. The
|
|
cards are NE2000. What would be great is to put Linux on a partition on the
|
|
fileserver and create boot floppies for the clients so that they can boot off
|
|
that partition and become diskless Linux workstations. Is this possible?
|
|
If so, I would be really grateful for some pointers, to the relevant software
|
|
(maybe included the Slackware distribution?) or documentation.
|
|
Steve.
|
|
|
|
P.S. I am not there yet but will be taking Slackware 2.0 (including XFree86) on
|
|
a bunch of floppies.

Usually, you use "last", "lastcomm", "sa", or any of several other

I'm looking for some software that will configure dial-in users
|
|
terminals. My school uses a program called "QTERM" to do this. It's not a
|
|
script, but a compiled executable (so I can't steal it :-).) Does this
|
|
exist for Linux? I checked on sunsite, but they didn't appear to have it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In another related question: How can I give my dial-in users an
|
|
ansi terminal type. "ansi.sys" and it's varients in TERMCAP don't really
|
|
work that great. Is it possible for them to have colour like the console
|
|
does?

I have a Trident 8900CL card, and the configuration automatically
|
|
made it 800x600 256 colours. However, I know my card will handle
|
|
1024x768 because I am running windows.
|
|
|
|
Has anyone calculated those magic numbers for the trident card,
|
|
so it will run 1024x768 256 colours (and the motif manager is pannable)??
|
|
|
|
I heard there is a 50pg document on how to calculate it. It would
|
|
be must easier if someone has done this already.
|
|

Subject: Kernel panic with PCI-SCSI !
|
|
Date: 4 Sep 1994 09:24:15 GMT

Hi!
|
|
After having some not locatingable trouble with my SCSI-HD, I want to cp
|
|
some files from the new installation (SCSI) to my old one (IDE) in order
|
|
to use this until problems are solved. I used find -atime to check which
|
|
files I had changed in these days. Suddenly the system crashes as several
|
|
times before :-( But now the kernel was able to write a message
|
|
"Kernel panic: EXT2-fs panic (device 8/2): ext2_find_entry: buffer head pointer
|
|
is NULL" So I think the bug must be found either in the NCR_Driver or in
|
|
the Ext2. I am using Linux 1.1.47.
|
|
What would you recommend in order to work with my SCSI-HD ?
|
|
|
|

I'm sorry to disappoint you - but those weren't OVERRUNS!
|
|
That's the number of compressed header packets! Of course,
|
|
when you disabled header compression, this number dropped
|
|
down to zero...
|

|
|
Your "ifconfig" lies to you (:-).

The new (just released) DIP-3.3.7g-URI supports proxy arp now.
|
|
It may help with your routing, I think...

Try getting ftape-1.13bpatch. You should find it on sunsite.

I recently set up a linux server on my mostly Mac network at my office
|
|
(which is also my home). I was thinking about getting a higher speed
|
|
link to the Internet and the most practical alternative seems to be
|
|
ISDN.
|
|
|
|
I can get an ISDN line from my local phone company (BellSouth) for
|
|
about $60 per month. I don't know what the total hardware costs would
|
|
be.
|
|
|
|
What is required to set up an ISDN line with linux? Does the necessary
|
|
software exist? What would be the necessary hardware?
