Re: [CentOS] RPM creation question

2008-06-12 Thread Vincent Knecht
 Hi,

 Is there any nice way in a .spec file to tell rpmbuild not to call
 brp-java-repack-jars?  Some Web Searching indicates that most people
 just hack the script.  Is there a better way ?

Hello,

  long time ago I searched for a way to disable stripping, and found
%define __spec_install_post /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress || :
in http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/rpms/acroread/acroread.spec
I guess that can be used too for brp-java-repack-jars...

Re: [CentOS] Apache jserv monitoring?

2008-06-10 Thread Vincent Knecht
 In our environment we have many legacy application servers running
apache/jserv.  There is a web server front end, then a couple of
load-balanced java servers on the backside.  One of the problems we are
faced with is hung or stuck jvms.  I have looked at the java process with
the ps command, and there are many times when URL(s) do not respond, yet the
java looks healthy, at least from the OS point of view.  The usual cure for
this situation is to restart the JVM, then the URLs come right back up.

 Are any of you aware of tools for monitoring apache jserv, either from
localhost or by connecting to port 8008 over the network?  I really want to
find out if there is a way to detect a sick JVM other than getting a bunch
of down URL alerts on my phone.

Hello,

  I don't know jserv or about eventual specific jserv support, but Hyperic
might
be part of the answer. I know it can provide metrics about Tomcat and JVMs,
and application/server specific plugins can be written without too much
effort.
It's by far the most powerful/complete monitoring solution I've seen,
providing support out of the box or with plugins for a bunch of services and
applications.
Check
http://support.hyperic.com/confluence/display/hypcomm/HyperForge/#HyperFORGE-pluginforge
for existing plugins.
Perhaps what you want can be done with a JMX plugin ?

Really worth a try anyway...

Re: [CentOS] Syntax question: svn propset on multiple file types?

2008-03-08 Thread Vincent Knecht
 Hi,

 I'm currently using SVN for writing some docs with LaTeX, and I wonder
 how I could possible tell SVN to ignore all *.log, *.aux and *.dvi
 files. I know how it can be done for one at a time. Let's say my files
 are in the docs/ directory. Then I'd go into the parent directory and do:

 $ svn propset svn:ignore *.log docs/

 But what should the command be if I wanted to ignore *.log, *.aux and *.dvi?

Hello,

  create a file with one expression by line, ie:
*.log
*.aux
*.dvi
  then use svn -F file option to give it the list.

 Hi,

   I was wondering what would be the best way to learn AIX, Solaris, or
 HP-UX, for someone who knows Linux very well?  Books?  Courses?
 Self-teaching in a home lab?

Hello,

  here's an interesting resource, though more on the surviving guide side ;-)

 It should be interchangeable.

 Thanks,

 sorry to bring up this old thread.
 i just have time to try this again.

 i boot up puppy linux from usb and copy the xorg.conf from it.
 puppy can display 1024x768 resolution in my hardware.
 but after i copy the working xorg.conf from puppy into centos,
 the centos X just wont start at all.

 below attached the xorg.conf content from puppy linux for your review.

 so anything i can correct to make it work on centos 5.1???

 tia.

Just a guess: perhaps you need that utility to fix the gfx card's bios ?

Re: [CentOS] vsifax on Centos 5.1

2007-12-11 Thread Vincent Knecht
 All

 I am trying to install vsifax on a 64 bit Centos 5.1 system.  The Esker
 staff have been helpful but no cigar.

 At first they thought the problem might be related to a 64 bit machine
 so I tried to install vsifax on a 32 bit Centos 5.1 machine and received
 the same error.

 One of their installation scripts is trying to execute a binary called
 eula which fails.

  ./eula: cannot execute binary file

maybe just retry after invoking that command ?
chmod +x eula
