Heh, I'm doing both of the suggestions in this thread, with a wrapper script: http://sqweek.dnsdojo.org/plan9/acme -sqweek

did you try @{rfork s; emu sh -c date} ?

i think the question is, what does emu
do to rc. i think it kills the note group:
minooka; rc -c '@{emu sh -c date}; echo done'
Thu Feb 19 17:13:08 GMT 2009
minooka; rc -c '@{rfork s; emu sh -c date}; echo done'
Thu Feb 19 17:13:34 GMT 2009
done
it might make sense for emu to rfork its
own note group if it is going to killpg.

[9fans] small smtp fix
with imap users, it's easy for addresses to be unqualified.
this is partially imap4d's fault, but client misconfiguration
can also cause this. this patch will send notification of
a bad address right away instead of trying this sort of
invalid address for days:
smtp.c:188,198 - /n/dump/2009/0219/sys/src/upas/smtp/smtp.c:188,193
usage();
addr = *argv++; argc--;
farend = addr;
- if((rv = strrchr(addr, '!')) && rv[1] == '['){
- syslog(0, "smtp.fail", "%s to %s failed: illegal address",
- deliverytype(), addr);
- exits(Giveup);
- }
i added this hack to nupas on sources.

[9fans] rc for loop exiting from emu on Plan 9
Trying to help diagnose a race condition in emu, I did this:
for (i in `{seq 1 100}) {echo BEGIN RUN $i ; emu sh -c
/usr/a/bin/sh/emuerr; echo END RUN $i ; echo}
where emuerr is a sh.dis script that raises an exception. on OS X,
using p9p's rc, i get a bunch of stanzas that look like:
BEGIN RUN 4
start
end
start2
OOPS: fail:some error
END RUN 4
except for the run number. running exactly the same command with the
same script on Plan 9, rc gives up after the "OOPS" line. same
behavior on native plan9 and 9vx. i'd expect the behavior seen on OS
X. it's not the exception, either; i get the same behavior if i
replace the entire rc for clause with {emu sh -c date}.
what is rc confused about?

But vac does not have that property. If I store the > same file many times it gives me different scores. that's probably because vac stores the metadata about the file as well as the file itself. the score is probably different because the access time of the file has changed. if you really always want the same score for the same file, i think you'll probably have to hack vac to do what you want (it shouldn't be hard - either just write the file data itself, or zero selected metadata).

[9fans] Calling vac from C
Hello once again, I was wondering whether if there are any libraries that I can include to call vac and unvac directly from my C code. Currently I am executing them in the shell using popen and capturing the output. I am looking for better ways. ~Anoop
[9fans] Query regarding vac
Hello All, I was using venti/write to store off small data sets which are less than a datablock in size earlier. But now I have started using vac for larger data but I have come across this problem: Writing the same datablock to the venti server used to give me the same score always. But vac does not have that property. If I store the same file many times it gives me different scores. for eg: using venti/write --- ano...@anoopm-laptop:~/workspace/ServerBackEnd$ ./write -h 127.0.0.1 < msg 00ef06474fb2fe5720eb39eb86c85d96f00362e2 ano...@anoopm-laptop:~/workspace/ServerBackEnd$ ./write -h 127.0.0.1 < msg 00ef06474fb2fe5720eb39eb86c85d96f00362e2 ano...@anoopm-laptop:~/workspace/ServerBackEnd$ ./write -h 127.0.0.1 < msg 00ef06474fb2fe5720eb39eb86c85d96f00362e2 using vac - ano...@anoopm-laptop:~/workspace/ServerBackEnd$ ./vac -h 127.0.0.1 msg vac:5563f21a3f4d1b783175d57b029ca7d0f210d036 ano...@anoopm-laptop:~/workspace/ServerBackEnd$ ./vac -h 127.0.0.1 msg vac:49c3411166ad14afc30d5d3b6a5ec487ce9246d7 ano...@anoopm-laptop:~/workspace/ServerBackEnd$ ./vac -h 127.0.0.1 msg vac:977e275c94de5ce6d03163ff85243e29531f961b >From vac's man page "When vac is used on a file tree that shares data with an existing archive, the consumption of storage will be approximately equal to an incremental backup" But then why does it give different scores each time? This might be an expected behaviour. But can any of you please suggest a work around for my problem? Thanks in advance. Regards, Anoop
