<0> just increase your available file descriptors
<1> I'm only wondering 'cause I couldn't talk my boss into letting me install a Unix system of any sort on a subnet at our disaster recovery site. The subnet has 2 Windows systems, a web server and a database server, but I wanted to put in a Unix system for testing/logging, but he wouldn't hear of it, he's making me put a Win2K system there (running on a P2-300 laptop, blech).
<1> Cool, I'll test it out, thanks jgaddis
<2> jgaddis: embedded system
<0> Ka-bar: echo $bignum > /proc/sys/fs/fsmax or something like that
<1> Oh, and g'night Lion-O
<2> jgaddis: yeah, that'll help temporarily, but it's obvious that I'm leaking file descriptors somewhere and it will eventually be a problem again.
<0> CeruleanD: Cool... I got permission to move our web **** off of Win2K/IIS.
<1> Awesome!
<1> That's a Good Thing.
<1> How'd you do it? Maybe I can use the same speech to get them to let me convert our i
<1> IPlanet/SunONE servers to Apache
<1> heh
<0> CeruleanD: attacked it from two fronts: stability/reliability and marketing
<0> pitched the reliability that we'll get (going from one win2k/iis box to two rhel4/apache boxes doing failover)
<0> also our website is completely static right now... i mentioned how, running on linux, the guys in my dept. can help doing scripting (perl/php/etc.) to "dynamicify" some **** on our site
<0> i think i threw in a few more things in the e-mail, but it worked regardless
<0> s/Visa/Vista/
<3> hrmm
<3> don't mind me just typing out load
<1> Eh, that might be a harder sell going from Solaris/SunONE over to Solaris/Apache
<0> so try to go for linux/apache =)
<1> There wouldn't be any cost savings since we already have an umbrella support contract w/Sun.
<1> Meh, that would be even harder since it would require new hardware (or finding a good version of Linux that'll run on the Sun hardware (Sunfires), and we're really penny-pinching here.
<0> no cost savings for us, either. we pay a flat fee for our ms contract.
<1> It took a failure of the drive on our SMTP relay server for almost a day to get the boss to agree to put in two drives and mirror them.
<0> geez
<1> When I ask him for something, he looks around his office and tries to find something that's "just laying around" that might be "good enough".
<1> We had several Dell Dimension XPS P2-300 systems in production for a long time
<0> damn man
<1> In fact, up until December our Disaster Recovery site was chugging away on a single P2-300 that I built into a DNS/BIND server. Another one was running Win2K and was our Backup/SiteScope server.
<1> He wanted me to remotely configure SiteScope on it and I flat out refused. It took like 20 minutes just to configure a single alarm.
<1> Oh, and the DNS server was also the SMTP relay from the DR site up here.
<4> Question: Is there anything morally wrong with using an application in place of "login", as the login program for telnetd?
<1> Probably, but it's still ethical, so it's all good.
<1> My motto has always been, "Ethics may be required, but morals are entirely optional."
<0> jbatista: no as long as you're not harvesting usernames and p***words
<4> What I really want, is just a telnet layer before the pipe into my app.
<1> Actually I made that up just now, but I like it.
<4> And that's the easiest way that I can think of.
<4> jgaddis: It logs into a remote database, but there is no actual local login.
<4> Just whatever credentials it inherits from telnetd (user "telnetd").
<0> so why not continue to use login, but use your .profile to run your application?
<0> though either way will work i guess, so it doesn't really matter
<4> Because I don't want to main login credentials in two places (Linux and the DB).
<4> s/main/maintain
<1> grr, tail's man page is a little confusing, what's the switch for tail to view # of lines up from the end? It's -n, right?
<1> Oh no wait... I don't need a switch at all
<1> I guess I do. :-/ hrm
<5> CeruleanD: :P
<1> Ah, the # *is* the switch. -#
<5> CeruleanD: i think the man page is fairly clear
<5> exactly
<1> Thanks Cynic. :-D
<0> -20 or -n 20 both will work
<0> or used to, anyways
<1> Not really, it lists different ways to do it, and one of them doesn't work. :-P tail -n 20 doesn't work, but tail -20 does.
<6> have you guys encountered the problem where "lsof |grep <mountpoint>" does not return anything but umount says "busy" on that mount point?
<7> hi i am trying to install ndiswrapper and i am runnign into a problem where it says cannot find kernel build files in /lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/build. I am running fedora core 5 and it looksto be that the kernel is there any ideas
<6> cosmick, yum install kernel-devel
<5> i just use -20 or if combining with another option, like tail -20f
<1> yeah, I'm used to using just the -f option
<1> Or seeing what I want without using a # at all
<7> i am not online with the box
<1> I really need to polish up my file/word manipulation techniques. :(
<7> whole reason trying to get ndiswrapper is for my wirelesscard
<5> cosmick: gnubee already told you... probably spoonfed you a bit too much actually ;P
<1> This log file is 177megs in size and is constantly updating
<7> any other way aroundi t withour running yum
<6> cosmick, yes there is windows
<1> The error I'm looking for happened 30 minutes ago, it's waaay back now
<5> cosmick: you can download and install the kernel headers from source, but if you're building your kernel with other rpm packages, yum would be the way to go
<7> ok so your saying in order to get ndiswrapper installed i need to get this box online and run yum install kernel-devel and then do make install
<7> thanks guys
<1> GEEZ! I did a tail -15000 $logfile and that still doesn't go back far enough to find the error that occurred at 8:41pm (50 minutes ago)
<4> jgaddis: Thanks.
<1> Wow, this log file is so busy, the timestamp has to go by thousandths of a second in order to help differentiate timing.
<1> The error occurred at 20:41:57.999.
<8> how about grepping for the time.
<9> yipes!
<10> what is the ansi way to convert integer to char* string? (itoa is not ansi)
<1> I did, but it couldn't find it, I grepped for 20:41:57, but then had to scroll down like 500 lines to found out that the error apparently got logged at 20:41:58.002, it was just emailed a hair earlier, heh
<11> sprintf
<8> um
<8> I'm really wondering if south park's gonna show an image of mohammed
