I use a crontab that runs ~/deadman.sh every 10 minutes. Usually, it's empty, but occasionally, I add flush rules, nat reset rules, etc. You can also have a file in your ~/ that you 'touch' every so often, like a real deadman's brake. Using stat, (usually in perl for me) you can check that it's been touched in the past hour (or however long) and deal with stuff accordingly. -- Jared Earle :: http://www.23x.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: There is no SPORK _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
