<0> hey i live in a house, about 3500 sq ft
<0> i'd shoot the magician
<1> Unless I'm in an alcohol induced coma ;)
<2> anyone know if growisofs reads a DVD disk size as 4.7 or 4.48?
<3> guten morgen
<4> raaa
<4> sup daGerman
<3> not much, still trying to find a downloadable ISBN database
<3> all i find is applications that look up single books
<4> hm
<4> possibly just a very large data set?
<3> cant be that much of data. it usually is only the ISBN, the authors, book title and publisher
<4> so what is that, 100 bytes per record?
<4> how many books are there that are catalogued by ISBN?
<3> if i would be better in coding i could build such a database with a perl script or something
<3> or -
<3> when i type up a list of my books and then let a script fetch the information from such a website
<4> done thinking?
<5> never started :)
<4> midco. heh. South Dakota eh?
<3> no, lol
<6> wtf, ran sudo crontab -e ... ... inserted: 54 * * * * mpg321 file.mp3 saved/exited, waited until 54 after the hour and nothing ran, I have cron running, i know this because i did /etc/rc.d/cron start. what am i doing wrong?
<3> i wonder how i could approach this task
<4> DrMitch: is it sourcing your crontab? I ***ume you used 'crontab' to edit it?
<3> DrMitch, check your syslog for error messages
<6> crontab -e
<4> right ,ok.
<6> no errors
<3> DrMitch, and "ps aux" shows the process for crontab is running?
<4> DrMitch: what distribution?
<6> root 9669 0.0 0.0 5996 564 ? Ss 00:53 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron
<6> suse
<6> well, opensuse
<4> hmm...
<4> I wouldn't expect them to get something that big wrong.
<6> i HATE cron, i've NEVER had good luck with it
<4> DrMitch: do an experiment for me...
<6> alright
<4> take that same line and put it in /etc/crontab, inserting the user into it in the appropriate place.
<4> modify the time so that it'll run in 2 minutes or something after you're done editing.
<4> so we don't wait around too much.
<4> #30 7 * * * root ogg123 /home/bronaugh/music/m***ive_attack/03-teardrop_160_ogg_quality5.ogg
<4> there's an example from my crontab... my alarm :P
<4> dunno why but I've never used a user crontab.
<6> do i have to restart cron or anything if i edited /etc/crontab?
<4> nope.
<6> yea, i've tried both as root AND as user
<4> other possibility, btw, is that your audio device is locked.
<6> now i'm trying the /etc/crontab
<3> nope, changes to crontab take effect on the fly
<4> and that's why the audio won't play back.
<4> DrMitch: so another suggestion is.. have the crontab touch a file.
<6> it's not, i try playing the file a few secodns before and they play
<4> DrMitch: see if the file exists afterwards. simplifies the testing.
<4> exists / was modified at the right time.
<6> cool, the /etc/crontab thing worked
<4> ... interesting.
<6> so why the hell doesn't crontab -e work?
<4> so for some reason user crontabs are borked.
<4> don't ask me; I've never used em :P
<4> also known as: I don't know :P
<4> all I can guess is that the unlikely happened and they borked or otherwise disabled crontab.
<4> err, crond
<4> perhaps there's some configuration parameter that enables user crontabs...
<6> oh well, i'm the only use on this comp so i don't care, just wonder
<6> ing*
<6> thanks bronaugh
<4> no problem.
<3> DrMitch, my suggestion: create a file called "test01.sh" in your home directory that includes something like "touch it_worked.note" and make the file executable. then do "crontab -e" and make sure your line looks like this: 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /home/<your user>/test01.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
<3> or make it "0,5,15,20,25..." so you dont have to wait that long
<3> and then see if it creates the file "it_worked.note"
<4> daGerman: seems like it won't. -probably- configurable.
<4> it doesn't take a genius to figure out that putting a line like "* * * * * find / -name '*'" in their crontab causes mayhem.
<4> and on a multiuser... that might not be desirable.
<6> damnit, now the /etc/crontab idea isn't even working
<6> GOD I HATE CRON!
<4> if it worked once... you should examine what changed.
<4> you're getting all bent out of shape about cron. sure, cron's a bit wierd, but it's nothing 'man 5 crontab' can't explain.
<4> most problems are solvable by clear thought and good problem solving technique.
<4> ok, I'm going to go to bed early tonight.
<4> night.
<6> ngiht bronaugh thanks for the help
<6> okay, i guess i have to give it at least one minute from motifying the file, then it works
<6> thank for help daGerman
<6> night
<7> whats the best linux for a virtual machine? to share internet connection.
<8> hy all
<8> how do i kill a root login form the console
<8> ?
<8> i forgot to do a logout at tty1 and i want to logout in order to avoid problems caused by accidental keyboard hit or..
<8> can someone help me
<8> ?
<3> starter_kit, check the process ID with "ps aux" and then kill the process for the bash process by "kill -9 <process ID>"
<10> hi
<10> any of you know about a psybnc runniong but you can't connect to it
<10> like the port its open.. can telnet to it and everything, but I get no reply from the psybnc
<11> 'morning.
<12> Hey all
<12> Is Kubuntu linux harder to use and setup than Mandriva
<13> halakar, I dont know (havent tried mandriva), but I can't say that ubuntu is hard to use...
<14> yeah yeah yeah
<12> really
<14> yes
<15> i am running dns server on fedora... and i just installed a new router... i configured my NAT to use my linux box as the dns server, and it works fine internally, except now externally all of a sudden i cannot resolve any CNAME s only domain name
<15> any ideas ?
<15> before installing new appliance router... i was simply using my fedora box as a router
<16> Is the machine still running named?
<15> yes
<15> restarted updated checkzone... and if i disconnect from new router and reconnect linux as original works fine
<15> has to do something with my linux going through router... but i cant figure out what
<16> Might be an idea to stop that and use the router's or ISP's facilities only
<16> Other thing to check...
<15> NAT port 53 on tcp & udp ... anything else i would have to do ?
<16> DNS does _NOT_ operate solely on UDP
<16> Double-check the tcp side
<15> ok will do now
<15> yeah on both
<15> i am using dyndns.. and my named is authoritative within my LAN, with forwarders to ISP's dns servers
<16> I dunno. Try using a direct caching nameserver config instead of forwarding
<15> the goal is to run my website on my linux box within my lan using www, and ftp, other services on other pc's within my LAN using other names
<15> port forwarding is working, but i seem to be able to only use domain name&:port for everything
<15> i think my router has to know... the names as well
<15> and resolve them within the LAN
<15> i will do some more tests... thank you for your help
<14> heh
<14> hmm
