Problem with mgetty's faxspool?
I was tinkering around with mgetty's fax scripts and came across something wierd. When I use faxspool to spool up a fax, it generates a file called JOB in the /var/spool/fax/outgoing tree which describes the job (who spooled it, what the original file is, what g3 files to send, recent status messages, etc.). However, the JOB file has no linefeeds in it... which causes faxrunq (which uses awk to parse the JOB file) to freak. I traced the problem to a line in the faxspool script in /usr/sbin where the script sets the value of the echo variable. The idea was to set echo to the proper command line to /bin/echo that would enable escaped chars (otherwise know as trigraphs: '\n', '\r', '\t', etc). Well, instead of setting the echo variable to echo -e like it should have been, it was set to echo -n which turns OFF the trailing linefeed. I chenged the echo -n to echo -e and it works great now. So, why am I telling everyone of my woes? Well, I hadn't modified any of my fax scripts up to this point... which would indicate to me that mgetty is *shipping* this way. Now, keep in mind that I'm using the package found in stable, so this might have been fixed already. I guess my question is: has *ANYONE* been able to successfully use faxspool from the stock stable mgetty in the buzz distribution? - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

It's probably still logging to the file that has become *.0 . I'd suggest

its hold on the renamed file.
Alas that won't work. See bug #3751 and my patch. Though I no longer
use
xconsole as it keeps growing unless you kill it. Right now I have a

debian+emacs problem

LILO Problem
I just installed Debian Linux (the latest stable version from debian.org) and now I'm having a problem with LILO. First, my setup: 1)P6 180MHz with integrated dual IDE controller on the motherboard. 2)1.6GB IDE disk, master on primary IDE (partitioned in 3 400MB partitions, a 300MB partition and a 100MB Linux swap partition) /dev/hda under Linux 3)8x IDE CDROM slave to 1.6GB disk on primary IDE 4)Adaptec 2940UW SCSI controller 5)2.0GB Wide SCSI disk (dedicated to linux with: /dev/sda1 / (60MB) /dev/sda2 /var (350MB) /dev/sda3 /usr (1.19GB) /dev/sda4 /home (400MB) Currently Win95 boots just fine off the IDE drive and I can boot Debian Linux off of floppy without trouble. What I'd like to do is replace my MBR on /dev/hda with LILO and have LILO boot either win95 or linux. As best I can recall here's the configuration file I tried: boot=/dev/hda install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map compact prompt timeout=50 default=win95 image=/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 label=linux read-only other=/dev/hda1 loader=/boot/chain.b label=win95 When I tried this I just got a 01 pattern repeated endlessly on my screen until I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and booted Linux via floppy and restored my MBR with dd. This happens before I see any type of boot prompt. My next shot is going to be to try the linear option, since hda is assigned as an LBA device in my BIOS. Anyone know if this will solve my problem? I didn't think this would be necessary since, once I've booted Linux, it has no problem accessing any of the partitions on hda and so I assumed the kernel could give LILO the proper partition table, but my thinking may be flawed. The other lilo option I'm unsure of is the table option. Should I add this to my other target? I thought that Win95/DOS obtained this from the drive itself, but I've seen several examples with the table line included? Any help would be appreciated!

Not really Linux
Hi,
I am stuck and am turning to the list as a last resort. To those of you who
find this improper, I crave your indulgence.
My problem is to do with variable argument lists. More precisely given the
following
double sum_series(int num, ... )
12{
13double sum=0.0,t;
14va_list argptr;
15 /* Initialise argptr */
16va_start(argptr, num);
17
18 /* Sum the series */
19for(;num;num--){
20 t = va_arg(argptr,double); /* get the next argument */
21sum +=t;
22}
23 /* do orderly shutdown 8*/
24va_end(argptr);
25return sum;
26}
How do I determine the form of the pointer argptr (yes it is a struct.. Made up
of what?) and is it possible to alter the address of its __base value and the
size of the __offset..
Sorry to intrude on the net in this manner
Regards
