Re: The impossible happened, committing suicide

This happened when executing the following daily (early morning) job on our development server: portsnap cron update /dev/null portsdb -u 2/dev/null [ $(hostname) = mydevserver ] portsearch -u The hostname check we have in there is necessary because while portsearch is handy, it's very resource hungry and thus only tolerable in a testing environment - we share the crontab through svn between our live and dev box.

Gunther ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It looks like portsearch is where the assertion fails. With a cursory look, you have a bad plist file for some port and portsearch just dies when it gets bad input. The best thing to do would be to patch portsearch to figure out what file is causing the problem, `s-plist_fn`, and either delete it(assuming portsearch updates it, since I seem to have few files starting with plist and it looks as though it's trying to load a file named plist I'm assuming it's controlled by portsearch) or just reinstall portsearch. But as I said, I just did a cursory look, and I don't use portsearch, so I'm only looking at the source code. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So to get what you want, you have to introduce brackets: find /usr/src \( -name Makefile -or -name '*.mk' \) -print Why does that make a difference, when print always evaluates to true? x AND true = x so (a OR b) AND true = a OR b a OR (b AND true) = a OR b It makes a difference (as in programming) because -print is used for its side-effect rather than its value, and the binding order influences when the side-effect happens.

I'd definitely like a password protected web interface though. My issue is the following. In both guides (and in all the other ones I've come across) Apache is compiled with options that I did not select when I installed Apache a while ago. I'd rather not have to redo everything I've set up with my web server. Is there any way I get include those modules (namely WITH_BERKELEYDB) without having to recompile? Also, any advice relating to setting up Subversion on FreeBSD in general. I think the easiest method to add modules to Apache is rebuild but make sure you run: make config in the ports dir before building. If your source code is precious to you, then you can use svn over SSL, I believe. I don't think there is much to know about building/running svn on FreeBSD that is particular to FreeBSD - svn is just a load of perl scripts AFAIK. Appreciate the help, montag HTH a bit.

I have two independent paths between my FreeBSD box and the storage array -- dual NICs, ethernet switches, and controllers. Given my situation, I want to ensure I get better performance and failover by using both my paths to the iSCSI target. I can't seem to find this covered in any of the man pages or the handbook. My storage array supports multiple sessions per target. Does the iSCSI initiator in 7.0 RELEASE support this feature? If supported, how does one go about configuring it? I'm sorry if this question is already covered in the literature. Thanks in advance for any help! - Raja ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

cvsup executed from crontab
I am using cvsup for backup, so I control both the client and the server. Works fine everytime stand-alone, but when I execute via crontab it appears to stall - then restart. Eventually there is so many copies of cvsup running at the same time it starts to bog down the client. I noticed in the man page there is the -d 0 or -1 option. Not sure if that will fix it - I just can't figure out why it works OK when executed manually as simply eg. cvsup supfile but stalls and starts anew when executed via crontab. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Server crashing, no explanations
Hi Mark, I'm guessing there's not a compatible chip on the motherboard for both of those items. Its a DELL server and unfortunately we only actually have one disk on it at the moment, so there's no RAID (which is also worrying :( ) Full memory checks have been on in the past and never reported any errors at the time. May be worth switching back on I guess. Alan On 20/05/2008, Mark Foster [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Alan Gilmour wrote: We tried installing mbmon and lmmon and healthd, but none seem to work. How so?

Re: SVN Advice
Hello Montag, On Mon, May 19, 2008 at 7:05 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I'm seeking to set up an SVN repository on my home machine. I've come across the following two guides: http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/misc/subversion.php http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2007/09/27/subversion-for-bsd-with-all-the-bells-and-whistles.html For a quick start on Subversion you can see Dru Lavigne's articles Setting up a Secure Subversion Server [1] and Accessing Secure Subversion Servers [2]. They discuss how to use Subversion over ssh, that is svn+ssh:// scheme. I myself prefer subversion over http(s) and I have written a tutorial here [3] and more concretely here. The second one is certainly overkill for what I need (I just want to use it to manage my personal projects, since I work remotely a lot). I'd definitely like a password protected web interface though. You have two options then. -) use subversion over http(s) and you can access your repository both with a svn client and from a browser. -) use whatever access scheme you want and install viewvc [5]. My issue is the following. In both guides (and in all the other ones I've come across) Apache is compiled with options that I did not select when I installed Apache a while ago. I'd rather not have to redo everything I've set up with my web server. Is there any way I get include those modules (namely WITH_BERKELEYDB) without having to recompile? As far as I remember you do not need berkleydb option. Subversion supports two backends for its repositories - BDB and FSFS. FSFS is a file format developed by Subversion and when you create the repository it is used by default. For a comparison between the two formats see [6]. So you may compile Subversion with Berkley DB - you should provide WITHOUT_BDB option or similar when you install the Subversion port. Also, any advice relating to setting up Subversion on FreeBSD in general. Well, the Subversion Book contains everything you need to set it up and use it. And the link below should help you as well.

resident memory limit
Greetings, I have an application that runs on Linux or Mac OS X but seems to have a problem when I run on FreeBSD (6.3 or 7). The issue is the memory footprint for the application (osubw_sctpclien below) is quite large; on Linux it can be as much as 950 MB in resident memory, according to top. However, on FreeBSD I start to get ENOMEM always around the time my resident memory size is about 200 MB. I read a few posts and have seen people fixing their problems by adjusting kern.maxdsiz in /boot/loader.conf and/or by adding a swap file. I've tried both and for my application, it still seems to be limited to 200 MB resident memory regardless of maxdsize and swap file setting. I wrote a toy application (malloctest below) that calls malloc in a while(1) and breaks once it gets ENOMEM (doing another while(1) so it doesn't exit); this application's memory size in top always matches the kern.maxdsiz setting, however it has a very low resident memory number, according to top. I have all the data below from these two applications. For malloctest, I can malloc as much as maxdsiz allows (without panic'ing the kernel). My main question is, in FreeBSD how can I increase the permitted resident memory of the system for my application to beyond 200 MB? Any ideas where this 200 MB resident memory limit is coming from? Why (in the last data entry below) does the resident memory limit become 80 MB after I increase maxdsiz AND use a swap file (the settings where malloctest can malloc the most!)?

Re: resident memory limit
In response to Brad Penoff [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have an application that runs on Linux or Mac OS X but seems to have a problem when I run on FreeBSD (6.3 or 7). The issue is the memory footprint for the application (osubw_sctpclien below) is quite large; on Linux it can be as much as 950 MB in resident memory, according to top. However, on FreeBSD I start to get ENOMEM always around the time my resident memory size is about 200 MB. I read a few posts and have seen people fixing their problems by adjusting kern.maxdsiz in /boot/loader.conf and/or by adding a swap file. I've tried both and for my application, it still seems to be limited to 200 MB resident memory regardless of maxdsize and swap file setting. I wrote a toy application (malloctest below) that calls malloc in a while(1) and breaks once it gets ENOMEM (doing another while(1) so it doesn't exit); this application's memory size in top always matches the kern.maxdsiz setting, however it has a very low resident memory number, according to top. Have a look at /etc/login.conf and the associated man pages. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have a look at /etc/login.conf and the associated man pages. Thanks for the prompt reply. This system has the default settings for all users set to unlimited for more or less all login.conf categories. I've pasted them below. My application uses a raw socket so I was running it as root, which also uses the default settings. It mentioned that setting memoryuse is the same as setting both -cur and -max ; any ideas why memoryuse is saying it's unlimited even though it is not? I tried explicitly setting -cur to 1000M and it still started giving ENOMEM around 200 MB resident memory in top... brad default:\ :passwd_format=md5:\ :copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\ :welcome=/etc/motd:\ :setenv=MAIL=/var/mail/$,BLOCKSIZE=K,FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES:\ :path=/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin ~/bin:\ :nologin=/var/run/nologin:\ :cputime=unlimited:\ :datasize=unlimited:\ :stacksize=unlimited:\ :memorylocked=unlimited:\ :memoryuse=unlimited:\ :filesize=unlimited:\ :coredumpsize=unlimited:\ :openfiles=unlimited:\ :maxproc=unlimited:\ :sbsize=unlimited:\ :vmemoryuse=unlimited:\ :priority=0:\ :ignoretime@:\ :umask=022: root:\ :ignorenologin:\ :tc=default: -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Shell scripting - suppressing and eliminating error messages
I'm using the following construction in a pkg-deinstall script for a port I
maintain:
if ( ${BATCH} ); then
The idea is, if you type make BATCH=1 deinstall, the port will deinstall
without running an interactive portion of the pkg-deinstall script. If you
type make deinstall, the pkg-deinstall script runs.
The script works, but, when you use BATCH=1, it generates an error message:
# make BATCH=1 deinstall clean
=== Deinstalling for security/sguil-server
=== Deinstalling sguil-server-0.7.0_1
Stopping sguild..
sguild not running?
1: not found
Why is this error printing to stdout and how can I suppress it? Or is there a
flaw in the logic that, if fixed, would resolve this problem?

Never mindforgot to use [ ] for test instead of ( ). My perl is getting in
the way of my shell. :-(

It's happening because the shell normally tries to run the command in
the if statement, and evaluate the return value. Your system doesn't
have a 1 or 0 command, so that produces the 1: not found
message. For /bin/sh, use the test macro instead:
% BATCH=1
% if [ ${BATCH} -gt 0 ]; then echo yeah; fi
yeah
% BATCH=0
% if [ ${BATCH} -gt 0 ]; then echo yeah; fi
Another way to do this is to use string comparisons, especially if env
variable is supposed to either be defined or not defined, and what the
value it is set to if defined doesn't matter:
% unset BATCH
% if [ x${BATCH} != x ]; then echo yeah; fi
% BATCH=1
% if [ x${BATCH} != x ]; then echo yeah; fi
yeah
% BATCH=0
% if [ x${BATCH} != x ]; then echo yeah; fi
yeah

Certain Fonts Don't Print

I have an application where data arrives in what is effectively continuous stream (actually NMEA messages from an AIS receiver) and I'd like to have a server where an arbitrary number of clients can connect to a tcp port and receive a copy of the stream.I could probably write this in perl without too much work but somebody has to have done something similar already - does anybody know of code that does this? (and yes I know sending the messages as individual udp packets would be easier - I'm already doing that internally but it doesn't work for opening up the data stream to the public). nc -lk port for original data | tee /var/ais/data nc -lk port for copy data /var/ais/data see nc manpage for details.
