I have also ensured that 'urchin_enable=YES' is in /etc/rc.conf.
However when I run the rc.d script, the urchinctl appears to run but
doesn't like whatever arguments that are passed. See this output:
urchin# ./urchin-server start
Starting urchin.
Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action
snipped rest of options already shown above
I'm sure I'm missing some simple concept. I'd really appreciate a
kick
in the right direction.
Where is urchin located? /usr/local/bin? /usr/local/bin/urchin/bin?
Or somewhere else? Is urchinctl a shell or perl script?
There is no actual urchin as far as I know. The control file is
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl. It is a executable file:
urchin# file /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
After running /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start, I have these
related processes:
urchin# ps acux | grep urchin

And conversely, /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop removes all of
the above processes.
In your script command is path_to_urchinctl. rc.subr will look for a
process named urchinctl and a pidfile named urchinctl.pid. It appears
that neither will be found, so the script can't stop or restart the
processes, because it doesn't know the pid and therefore the process
that it needs to kill. That doesn't explain why it won't start the
processes though. I *think* you need to name the script urchin rather
than urchin-server, but I can't test that.
The rc script name does not seem to matter.
To fix the pid problem, rc.subr offers some optional statements that,
with the proper arguments, can overcome the problem. You'll have to
read man rc.subr and test it to figure out what works, but here's an
example that might work:
pidfile=/var/run/urchinwebd.pid
check_pidfile=${pidfile}
The problem here is that urchinctl does not write a pid file by default
and I can't figure out how to make it do so.
However in reading man rc.subr, I found argument_cmd that works for me.
By setting argument_cmd, I can override the default methods called by
run_rc_command. Thus I set these three lines:
start_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start
stop_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop
status_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status
Originally, I used $1 instead of start, stop, and status. However
this had the effect of making restart restart twice, once for the
start method and once for the stop method because
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl restart was being run each time.
If that does work, your script should at least be able to report the
status (running or not).
I also had to set the procname variable to make the status method
available. In my case, it didn't matter to what it was set as the
urchinctl command handled the actual status reporting.
I'm assuming that, because root is running the lowest numbered
process, killing that process will kill all the children as well.
Killing the root process killed all the urchinwebd processes but left
the urchind processes hanging around. But no matter, I got things working.
Thanks for your help!

I did all the recommended tuning mentioned on the FreeBSD wiki and I searched these lists and never could get a stable configuration. However, under amd64 I've never had a panic with ZFS. I was testing some pretty weird stuff, too, and ZFS was rock solid for me. I was running ZFS over geli, often with compression, taking snapshots every minute for an experimental script. Normal usage or stress-testing load, it never failed me. I'd even run ZFS with file-backed devices on top of ZFS or gjournal (both on top of geli), and no stability problems (though I wouldn't recommend such a setup for a production server). I know my account is purely anecdotal, but I've been a unix admin for a long time and I would trust ZFS with my personal data as well as with any any client's data if ZFS met requirements that couldn't be met with UFS2.

Following the examples in the guide mentioned above, here is my

# !/bin/sh

run_rc_command $1
I have also ensured that 'urchin_enable=YES' is in /etc/rc.conf.
However when I run the rc.d script, the urchinctl appears to run but
doesn't like whatever arguments that are passed. See this output:
urchin# ./urchin-server start
Starting urchin.
Usage: urchinctl [-v] [-h] [-e] [-s|-w] [-p port] action
snipped rest of options already shown above
I'm sure I'm missing some simple concept. I'd really appreciate a
kick
in the right direction.
Where is urchin located? /usr/local/bin? /usr/local/bin/urchin/bin?
Or somewhere else? Is urchinctl a shell or perl script?
There is no actual urchin as far as I know. The control file is
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl. It is a executable file:
urchin# file /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386,
version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped
After running /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start, I have these
related processes:
urchin# ps acux | grep urchin
root70937 0.0 0.0 3184 1996 ?? Ss7:00PM 0:00.01

nobody 70946 0.0 0.0 1332 668 ?? Is7:00PM 0:00.51 urchind
And conversely, /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop removes all of
the above processes.
In your script command is path_to_urchinctl. rc.subr will look for a
process named urchinctl and a pidfile named urchinctl.pid. It appears
that neither will be found, so the script can't stop or restart the
processes, because it doesn't know the pid and therefore the process
that it needs to kill. That doesn't explain why it won't start the
processes though. I *think* you need to name the script urchin rather
than urchin-server, but I can't test that.
The rc script name does not seem to matter.
To fix the pid problem, rc.subr offers some optional statements that,
with the proper arguments, can overcome the problem. You'll have to
read man rc.subr and test it to figure out what works, but here's an
example that might work:
pidfile=/var/run/urchinwebd.pid
check_pidfile=${pidfile}
The problem here is that urchinctl does not write a pid file by default
and I can't figure out how to make it do so.
However in reading man rc.subr, I found argument_cmd that works for me.
By setting argument_cmd, I can override the default methods called by
run_rc_command. Thus I set these three lines:
start_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start
stop_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop
status_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status
Originally, I used $1 instead of start, stop, and status. However
this had the effect of making restart restart twice, once for the
start method and once for the stop method because
/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl restart was being run each time.
Right. This ctl basically does what rc scripts are normally doing. So this is
the 20% case where many of rc's assumptions are incorrect and you need to
override this logic. The main is that the command is not the running daemon.
As such, one need to override the default start, stop, restart and status
commands.

So what you did: You executed kldload snd_hda=YES which you could also have tried the same command at the command line (sh). Indeed. But it does not load snd_hda Of course not. You could put kldload snd_hda.ko into /etc/rc.conf, but that isn't the way such things are done. None. No driver. Always have to add it manually. Which would not work if the driver was actually compiled int the kernel. Example: I have compiled snd_cmi and sound into my kernel. So my kldstat looks like this: # kldstat Id Refs AddressSize Name 13 0xc040 6959cc kernel 21 0xc0a96000 683b4acpi.ko If I now try to load the snd_cmi kernel module, this happens: # kldload snd_cmi.ko kldload: can't load snd_cmi.ko: File exists This indicates that the driver is already present. It has been preloaded by the kernel (it is IN the kernel), so it cannot be loaded by kldload. So if you ARE able to kldload the module, it hasn't been in the kernel (or at least not loaded). Maybe you can check your hints file for some strange entries? I'm going to reboot now so i get a fresh dmesg.

Make Question
Hello,
I have inherited an old FreeBSD 5.1 machine(5.1-RELEASE-p18). I realize
that the short answer to my question is more than likely to upgrade the
OS to a current release and I would if I had that option right now, but
I do not. I needed to upgrade the perl/openssh/openssl implementation on
this box. My first thought was to use the port on the machine that was
from that era but make fails. So then I thought to csup the ports tree
and try with a new version, that fails as well. The error is as follows:

This is because bsd.port.mk now uses constructs that are not supported by
the `/usr/bin/make' binary of 5.X.
If you *really* have to stick with 5.1-RELEASE-p18, it may be worth trying
to compile a newer snapshot of `src/usr.bin/make' from 7-STABLE and install
it as say `/usr/bin/make-7.x'. Then you can try building ports from a
more recent `/usr/ports' tree with *that* make binary:
# cd /usr/ports/CATEGORY/APP
# make-7.x config
Most of the `ports/' makefile glue should use ${MAKE} to invoke child
instances of the make utility, and with a custom `make-7.x' binary this
should default to the correct version of `/usr/bin/make-7.x'.
This is a bit of a hack though, so if it fails in other ways, you will
have to weigh the two options: (1) staying with 5.1 and trying to build
ports with a custom `make-7.x' binary, possibly investing a lot of time to
fix `ports/Mk/bsd.*.mk' problems as they come up, and (2) updating the base
system to a more recent FreeBSD release.

Thus I set these three lines: start_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl start stop_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl stop status_cmd=/usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl status Originally, I used $1 instead of start, stop, and status. However this had the effect of making restart restart twice, once for the start method and once for the stop method because /usr/local/urchin/bin/urchinctl restart was being run each time. If that does work, your script should at least be able to report the status (running or not). I also had to set the procname variable to make the status method available. In my case, it didn't matter to what it was set as the urchinctl command handled the actual status reporting. I'm assuming that, because root is running the lowest numbered process, killing that process will kill all the children as well. Killing the root process killed all the urchinwebd processes but left the urchind processes hanging around. But no matter, I got things working. Drew, I'm glad you were able to get it working. There may be a way to kill the urchind processes as well. If you set procname to urchin, the rc.subr script might understand that to mean any process that begins with that string. I haven't tested it, but looking at the script (/etc/rc.subr), it appears to me to be the case.

It *is* overly complex. The original design goal of easily create portable shell to configure and Makefiles has long been replaced with cruft now requiring perl, additional files for linking (.la) and overall confusion when things don't work. It is no wonder that larger projects are switching to cmake and smaller to jam/scons. That said, if the developers know what they're doing, you won't see any OS assumption in the source code (#ifdef __FreeBSD__ and similar) and you would be able to assert portability differences by grepping for '^#ifn?def[[:space:]]+HAVE_' in headers and source. Problems with configure/automake usually can be classified in the following categories: - Unhandled cases developers are not aware of: prerequisite headers or headers in different locations then are assumed. Library symbols in differently named libraries. - Attempt to figure out a prerequisite is present not directly supported by autoconf/automake then created by the developers in not so portable script. - Assumptions on struct members, number of arguments to certain functions, size of data structures, presence of symbols. - Lex/yacc/bison parser generator version problems.

This doesn't apply to building a different (custom) kernel when world has not changed. Okay, it is often true that within major versions you can run with an updated kernel on the old world for a long time without encountering a problem, but problems from kernel-world mismatch are not extremely rare. If and when you install the sources, check the procedures in UPADATING (near the bottom) for best practices procedure. After this, assuming this is the correct path, can the same path be used to upgrade other servers, and then just plop the kernel on (same hardware.)

Xorg on FreeBSD 8* i386
Aloha, I have had problems trying to install the new Xorg on Amd64 box with Nvidia card and also old trio. I see many posts of issues on this on Questions List. Can I run the new Xorg on the Amd64 with nvidia or do I have to use i386? Also is it possible to use an older version of Xorg to make a card work that was working on the older version. And can the hal setup be eliminated if it causes the video to fail? I want to try the previously working box ( was Running FreeBSD 7* ) as a desktop with 8*.
