connection to remote printer is down

[Charles Howse]

HI,
I haven't had much luck getting questions answered lately, maybe my luck will 
change on Thanksgiving.

I have an HP1100 printer that I set up on machine "moe" with apsfilter, and is 
working perfectly.  I have a hard copy of the Handbook that I went by, and I 
have Googled with no joy.

I'm trying to setup machine "larry" to print text only to the printer on 
"moe", but I'm not getting anywhere.  Jobs get into the local spool, but time 
out waiting on the remote machine to "come up".  I can ping the remote 
machine with no difficulty.

I have the following in /etc/hosts.lpd:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /etc/hosts.lpd
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/hosts.lpd,v 1.4 1999/08/27 23:23:42 peter Exp $
#
# See lpd(8)
#machine.domain
larry.howse.homeunix.net

Here's moe's /etc/printcap:

# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
hp1100|ljet4;r=600x600;q=medium;c=full;p=letter;m=auto:\

Here's larry's /etc/printcap:

lp|hp1100:\
:lp=:rm=moe:rp=hp1100:sd=/var/spool/output/moe:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

Here's a sample print session on larry:

Hmm.  I don't think this question is in the FAQ, but it seems asked often
enough.  At least I didn't see it in there.  Maybe it should get added...

I'm not in anyway indicating I want to help document, because I don't want
to end up get stuck doing that (I'll start feeling I have an obligation,
and yadda-yadda). I'm just trying to throw the idea out so someone else
will do it :P

Installation Problem (Synchronize Cache)?

[Rishi Chopra]

I'm having a problem installing FreeBSD on my Dell Dimension XPS120C w/ 
Adaptec 2400A Raid Controller (4x200GB Raid5).  The second installation 
disk almost finishes loading when the program gets stuck on:

"(da0:asr0:0:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x1b, scsi status 
== 0x0"

What could this mean?  I've been able to install the OS on this machine 
with the exact same configuration multiple times before.

RE: Arplookup error.

[Dragoncrest]

I'd like to know this too. I have a FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE box that exhibits the
same symptoms. The addresses it complains about belong to a colo box on our
network and a cisco router.
That's a big Ditto for me too.  I got the same problem on one of 
my bsd workstations up at work too, but only when accessing either of our 
two Oracle servers.  So yeah, I'd love to know the resolution to this too 
if someone finds one.  :)

Re: Freebsd list rejects mail.

[Dragoncrest]

You need an A record and an PTR record (aka forward and reverse 
lookup records respectively) for it to work.  I encountered much the same 
problem back when I was first setting up my own mail server and trying to 
send to the list.  The idea behind them requiring both is it cuts down on a 
lot of spam getting through.  :)

Have your ISP put in an A record as well for your mail server 
matching the name you have already specified for it, in your case 
"host4.kifco.net" and you should be all set in about 24 hours.  Of course 
if you're " doing your own DNS, just edit the zone file for "kifco.net" and 
add the following entry.

host4   IN A216.65.57.4

Again, give it 24 hours and you should be golden.  :)

You need to add a reverse record for your ip address. I think the
mailing list server rejects anything for which it cannot retrieve
an .in-addr.arpa record.

Re: upgrading 4.8 to 4.9 question....

[Dragoncrest]

Mergemaster is definately one way to do it, but I prefer 
Portupgrade.  It's much simpler as far as I'm concerned and does as good a 
job as mergemaster with less thinking involved on the part of the user.  :)

Just CVsup your ports, then do "portupgrade -r -all", then walk 
away and let it run.  If you want to do a single port, just do "portupgrade 
-r portname"

Best of luck.  :)

On the whole... no.  But that doesn't mean you won't run into problems.
You can resolve those when you get there though ;)

Try man mergemaster.

Drive manufacturers use base 10 Gig (1,000,000,000), and FreeBSD uses
base 2 gig (1024*1024*1024).

Your drive is fine.

	I have a Freebsd workstation running 4.9 on an Epox 8k9A2+ MB and the 
silly thing sees my brand new Western Digital HD as 160gig in the bios, but 
BSD only sees it as 152gig.  Now 8 gig isn't all that bad of a thing to

to get to that last 8 gig.  When going into Fdisk I get the error that the

the drive, or is this a limitation or problem in BSD?  Or is it simply a

unset autologout in your ~/.cshrc will fix the problem if you cant find where 
its set (:

>From the man page:

   autologout (+)
   The  first  word  is the number of minutes of inactivity before
   automatic logout.  The optional second word is  the  number  of
   minutes of inactivity before automatic locking.  When the shell
   automatically logs out, it prints `auto-logout', sets the vari-
   able logout to `automatic' and exits.  When the shell automati-
   cally locks, the user is required to enter his password to con-
   tinue  working.   Five  incorrect  attempts result in automatic
   logout.  Set to `60' (automatic logout after 60 minutes, and no
   locking)  by  default in login and superuser shells, but not if
   the shell thinks it is running under a window system (i.e., the
   DISPLAY  environment  variable is set), the tty is a pseudo-tty
   (pty) or the shell was not so compiled (see the  version  shell
   variable).  See also the afsuser and logout shell variables.

So presumably if you make sure the DISPLAY env variable is set you won't
be logged out automatically.  I've never come across autologout running
csh - probably because I always use a regular tty.

There's quite a few references to 'autologout' in the tcsh(1) man page anyway,
have a look.

There is a sequence that starts

To upgrade in-place from 4.x-stable to current 
--
# 5.x uses more space than 4.x.  Also, the location of kernel
# modules has changed.  If you are installing 5.0 onto a 4.x
# system, you'll need about 30MB of free disk space on your /
# partition.  If you have less than this, you may encounter
difficult
# to back out of problems with this procedure.  If /tmp is on
# the / partition, you may want to completely remove all its
content
# before upgrading, as this can be a common source of shortage
of
# space on /.
  
But I remember having a sequence where you had to do a -d and that isn't
there 
any more. BTW, when they changed statfs on 5-current not too long ago, a
make 
world would have rendered your system unbootable.

I have a machine that is running 4-stable and because of the increased
usage, 
I will do a clean install. Coral has a / with around 60-80 MB used and
5.x 
needs about 2x more and I have /var and /tmp as 1.5GB systems because I
log 
everything from cvsup to "make index" and store the logs on
/var/log/build. I 
have either /usr/src or /usr/obj 49% used on 1.5GB partitions. I suspect
it 
is /usr/obj but it is running XP right now. I like more freespace and
will 
have a 500MB /. I have /usr/src and /usr/obj on different controllers
(IDE) 
so that I have concurrent I/O. If you use scsi, it doesn't matter as
much.

I don't know what is happening to you. I just did
 
# cd /usr/ports/multimedia/win32-codecs
# make fetch
>> win32codecs.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/win32.

Receiving win32codecs.tar.bz2 (6803247 bytes): 100% (ETA 00:00)
6803247 bytes transferred in 137.9 seconds (48.19 kBps)

Do you have a current cvsup of ports-all. The system may have also been being 
updated when you tried. I think I would just try again first.

Infomation of FreeBSD

[tristian radford]

   Hi im looking for infomation of BSD I have been running linux for a
   few months after getting rid of winblows (well its still partition
   somewere on my hard drive) and I just want to know because im a newbie
   for Unix based operating systems is BSD simple to use because I want
   to run it because of its high security rateings and also because the
   demond looks cooler than that penguin all I would like it for is
   Desktop use and maybe a few servers to access my computer from
   college. Is it worth downloading because i cant be bothed to wait 4
   hours for each disk image to finish

libXi.so.6 missing?

[T Kellers]

After portupgrading linux_base-8 to the 02 revision, neither I or my linux 
binaries can find the  
/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6
file, or the /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 file.  I know that 
these files can be 6.0 and/or 6.2, but they should live in the above paths, 
too, and they just aren't there.

After creating a package of the 01 version of the linux_base-8 port and 
installing it, the above files are back in their place and 
linux-mozilla-devel works once again.  Those missing files also broke my 
Linux OpenOffice 1.1 installation (and probably others, but I haven't 
checked); the reinstall of the older package fixed OO, too.

Fortunately, I had a 4.9-STABLE machine that I had not yet updated to the 
latest linux_base-8 02 version (still 01), and I created a package from that 
machine and installed it on 2 other 4.9-STABLE machines.  I also have 2 
afflicted 5.2-BETA machines that i need to roll back to the linux_base-8 01
version.

Reinstalling linux_base-8 02 did not restore the missing files, so I don't 
think something else hosed my installation, but I could be wrong.

Will the linux_base-8-8.0_1.tgz package I created on the 4.9-STABLE machine 
install (and work) on 5.2-BETA?  I suppose I could try it and see if it 
works, but I haven't had time to, yet.

TIA

ipfw log popup in X

[Frederick Bowes]

This is slightly off topic, but I have just setup ipfw and was wondering
if there was a way to get the log messgaes popup in a window (ie so if
someone attempts to connect, you get notified)? Some /usr/ports perhaps?

Where is "autologout" set?

[Brett Glass]

I'm logging into a headless FreeBSD box via a serial port (which I don't 
normally do) and am finding that the "autologout" variable is being set 
to 60 minutes in the shell. I can't find where the variable is being set; 
it's not in /etc/csh.* or in any of the "dotfiles." Can someone tell me 
where this variable is being set, so that I can adjust the time or 
disable automatic logouts?

ftp install

[John Ball]

Hello I am trying to install freebsd over ftp on an older(266mhz pentium) noname 
laptop. 
 
Following the instructions I am stuck at one point...when I get to the boot: prompt 
how do I get to the kernel configuratoin menu? There is some inconsistency between the 
instructions and my install. Maybe its  my floppies?
 
I have gnet firewall/router.
 
I try to install over ftp, sysinstall asks me about slip/ppp info so I am assuming 
that my nic(xircom cardbus 10/100, model:rbe-100) isn't loading the drivers correctly 
or there is perhaps a resouce conflict. I have read the section of the install 
instructions that discusses this, but I can't seem to get to that point in the 
install...I go from the boot prompt(skipping kernel configuration menu) straight to 
the sysinstall menu.
 
What am I doing wrong? How do I confirm that my NIC is loading right or is there some 
other setting for dhcp that i am missing?
 
Thank you for your time
 
Derrick Flueck

Yeah, the make world.  I've been doing this since 3.4.  Even on my

In lieu of your email, though, I'm trying the make buildworld, make

"make world"?  Really?  You don't mean "make buildworld"?
I guess the "world" target really does need to be removed.

You can use the tool ifconfig and figure out the right line to feed it.
You can also start the scripts: /etc/netstart.

If you've got other NICs installed, then see 'man ifconfig' or use the 
ifconfig_* line from rc.conf asa template. If you have limited NICs, 
they're likely using aliases, which is covered although briefly in the 
ifconfig man page. Easy on Linux, haven't used IP aliases on freebsd as 
of yet, but a quick google shows:

This question was the basis for a useful thread a week ago: googling or

I think every variant of UNIX supports this with ifconfig: something 
like this (depending on your interface device name).

Hi,
You can use something similar to the following

ifconfig vr0 alias 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xff00

Make world problems from 4.9 to 5.1

Hey all,

I've got a Compaq Presario laptop with everything working great, except
my wifi card.  I've decided that I've been using 5.1 for a long time on
my desktop without issue, so I want to upgrade my laptop.  I can cvsup
the sources fine, but when I enter into /usr/src and type make world, I
get an error about checking the kernel to see if it's fresh enough and
it dumps the core and exits.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I
have tried doing a cd /usr/src; rm -rf * to delete everything in the
/usr/src directory and rm -rf the /usr/obj directory.  This has always
worked for me in the past.

Any enlightenment would be appreciated, even a point to the correct FM.

Look into ifconfig. Webmin will also handle it. ifconfig the program used for

syslogd crashed with signal 11

[Kulemzin Igor]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

  Today's morning I noticed that syslogd crashed with signal 11. Is
  this security issue or syslogd code error? I ran make world/kernel
  about two weeks ago. And syslogd never crashed before. Yesterday I
  ran killall -HUP syslogd.
  Also syslogd configured for dublicating all messages to another
host
  and this second host was disconnected from network yesterday for
about
  2 hours at 16:50.

There is part of /var/log/messages file:

A combination of cvsup on a daily basis and a portupgrade -ar once a

The ipfilter_rules variable should contain the name of a file that
contains rules _only_ - shell variables don't get read because of the way
/etc/rc.network loads the rules:

if [ -r "${ipfilter_rules}" ]; then
${ipfilter_program:-/sbin/ipf} \
-f "${ipfilter_rules}" \
${ipfilter_flags}
fi

ie essentially the command exected is:

/sbin/ipf -f $ipfilter_rules 

so something like:

pass in on 1.2.3.4 all
pass out on 1.2.3.4 all
pass in all
pass out all

is fine, but:

pass in on $nic all
pass out on $nic all
pass in all
pass out all

won't work unfortunately.

Given your shell script above though I'd be tempted to load the ruleset
before anything else in /usr/local/etc/rc.d (by giving it a filename of
.000.ipfilter.sh to ensure it's run before the other scripts in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d).

Why not use the CUPS admin tool to cancel the print job?  Just go to
http://localhost:631/ in your browser, go to Jobs, and kill the job. 
Unless I misunderstood the problem (which I've done before), this should
work.

It is possible, but perhaps not the best option because _any_ files a
user uploads will be immediately accessible via the web.  If you did
want to do it, check out:

man pw

There's a switch you can use to change the default home directory for
users created with pw - you can also make it permanent by modifying
/etc/pw.conf.

Alternatively you could just opt to keep the default home dir as /home
and then create symlinks inside joe's home dir:

/home/joe/public_html -> /usr/local/apache2/wwwroot/joe

However, if you decide to go down that route, consider using /var/
instead of /usr/local/ for your web files since /var is a more logical
place to place web files that change often (files that VARy over time).
Have a look at:

man hier

for more info.

Partitions and file systems are not the same thing.  Partitions are
slices of disk, while file systems have much more complicated
structures.  Vinum volumes look like slices to the file system.

On a console my TERM env variable is set to cons25 as well, but mutt
still uses colours ok as I have them set up in my .muttrc file.

elinks doesn't use any colour the way I have things setup when I use it
in a console, although in a putty session it does (using TERM=xterm) -
not sure how to resolve that.

awstats is a nice alternative to analog and webalizer - although it does

(about 10 seconds for 20,000 entries on an amd 650 512mb ram) - see the

It looks like you have something wrong with your openssl installation.
Either rebuild your world with COMPAT4X=yes and crypto sources
installed, or install the latest compat4x and openssl packages.

I'm not sure why you'd get an undefined symbol, though (it should
either work or fail outright to find the new libcrypto version) -
perhaps at some point you tried to patch up for a missing library
version by symlinking to an older library?

Yes, that's what I described; "go" is the command to exit OpenBoot and  
resume program (OS) execution.  It isn't a sleep mode, btw, everything  
is still spinning and humming.

My worst instance of this was working (desperately) on a new Sun blade  
server trying to get some network modelling software running.  My  
connection was via PC laptop COM1, and as I was typing someone  
periodically would hook up to the IR link on the laptop to transfer  
some more files to me to copy over.  Every time they did so, the Sun  
would apparently crash.

The IR link set itself up as COM3 on a shared interrupt with COM1,  
every time it saw activity on the port it invisibly interrupted the  
terminal session and the Sun was dropping into OpenBoot.

Oops.

Well that's anothers person job to answer (regarding PHP) but I'd like to 
notify that it's very important that you run only CPUs with the same 
stepping, especially on Solt1.
Otherwise you'll suffer from uncontrolable current/heat dissipation.
Once I toasted one machine because of that.

No single program thread will run faster than it would on an unladen

If you're running the U10 headless, dropping DTR on the connection

So far, this could mean several things.  hostname(1) should have a

There's not necessarily any need for this.  DNS should resolve it
properly, if a bit slower.  Some applications will require a reverse
mapping (cvsup comes to mind), but if the real DNS is correct, you
don't need hosts to do that.

> Then put that hostname into main.cf.

There's no standard file by that name.  Maybe you're configuring
postfix?  In that case it's a postfix question, but again, editing
hosts is usually only necessary if there's a DNS mapping missing.

Putting your hostname on the loopback address (127.0.0.1) is usually a
good idea.

An IP address, whitespace, and one or more DNS names.

FreeBSD has only very rough support for that type of hardware at this

It's intended to be referenced at boot time, but it's often not very
difficult to figure out what is supposed to happen.

With something as important as starting up a mailer, I recommend a
quick reboot just to be sure that it will start back up properly if
you should, say, have an unplanned outage tonight.  But the risk
assessment depends on your particular situation.

I may have misremembered the command, but it should be in in

Yep, also I got much of the way through an X11 install [much larger than

One thing you could do, is try a simple ftp download to your

around some months before I got it installed [thanks Adrian, wherever you 
are ;) ].

So I d/l'd from mysql.org the file 
mysql-max-4.0.16-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386.tar.gz and put that into 
/usr/ports/distfiles, but tried the make install from 
/usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server/ which I'm sort of guessing has been 
setup for an older distribution? I got this:

 make install

You may use the following build options:

WITH_CHARSET=charsetDefine the primary built-in charset (latin1).
WITH_XCHARSET=list  Define other built-in charsets (may be 'all').
WITH_OPENSSL=yesEnable secure connections.
DB_DIR=directorySet alternate directory for database files
(default is /var/db/mysql).
  WITH_LINUXTHREADS=yes Use the linuxthreads pthread library.
OVERWRITE_DB=yesRe-initialize default databases
SKIP_DNS_CHECK=yes  Don't run resolveip to do an additional
DNS check before inserting local hostname to
mysql database
(use if your machine has no official DNS 
entry).
BUILD_STATIC=yesBuild a static version of mysqld.
BUILD_OPTIMIZED=yes Add -mcpu=i686 to CFLAGS.

IOW a whole bunch of junk seems to amount to my port is older than what I 
d/l'd. Am I guessing right? Is my best course now following The FreeBSD 
Diary advice on installing CVS (or is it CVSUP?)?

Persistent Cups process

[Guy Van Sanden]

I'm having trouble with cups...

My printer's ink cartridge got completely empty, and I didn't have a
replacement handy.  So I killed of all print jobs.
Unfortunately, one of the cups processes for the running job seems to be
stuck.

"...54562  0.0  0.4  2616 1140  ??  D 5:51PM   0:52.48
parallel:/dev/lpt0 198 ..."

I tried kill -9, but nothing helps.
Shutting down cups doesn't do it either, and I don't want to reboot the
box for it (reminds me too much of Windows).

Any ideas how I can get rid of it?

I'm on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE, Cups 1.1.19 with gimp-print.

Kind regards

Guy

I'm not sure that's true. /etc/rc.firewall is a shell script, an IP

ufs2 on a vinum volume

[F. Even]

I am installing 5.1R on a P3-700 w/ 2 9GB SCSI drives.  I would like 
to use UFS2 along with all of the extended attributes, ACL's, etc.  If 
I use vinum on this system, will I still be able to use and take 
advantage of all of the features of UFS2?  I'm wondering, as part of 
the process of setting up vinum indicates I have to define partitions 
as type "vinum."

Make distclean is a good start. I found on my Bellsouth DSL at home, I
often have intermittent troubles installing from ports with the DSL
router being (seeming) flaky during the day. I have found, empirically,
during the later evening hours (9:00 or later) the same installs proceed
flawlessly.

Installing Apache and PostgreSQL are fairly large and would have shown
troubles if your were also having intermittent connectivity like I was.
Is there a chance that the limited space on /usr is the trouble with the
install process now?

One thing you could do, is try a simple ftp download to your
/usr/ports/distfiles directory to then run the install. It is a bit of a
stop gap measure, but at least get you running as you want.

Re: Can't install gaim on FreeBSD 4.x

[Bryan Cassidy]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I recommend you updating your source using cvsup, cd /usr/ports/net/gaim
&& make install clean. If it complains about an older version already
installed just install portupgrade /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade. when
portupgrade is installed run the following command as root

#portupgrade gaim

That will get the latest version of gaim (which is 0.73)

I am using FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p13 and Gaim 0.73 works just fine. Don't
know anything about the msn protocol cause I don't use msn but with what
I use it for (aim + yahoo) it works just fine.

Thanks Jonas,

Actually I went and did the following commands and I can now
send mail independently from my ISP's smtp server.  I haven't
changed anything yet in /usr/local/etc/postfix/main.cf

postfix check

postfix start

The manpage for "postfix" stated that "start" will also run
"check" but I ran it anyway.

My mail headers from this email show postfix setting it's mark.

Thanks again.

vim keyboard mapping problems (ssh)

[Khairil Yusof]

I couldn't figure why I'm having this problem. If anybody knows why my
keyboard mappings are off, I'd really appreciate it.

On my main machine, everything works just fine (tab, cursor keys, home,
end) in both insert/command mode.

I've recently built a simple FreeBSD 5.1 web server. The problem I have
is that vim built on this machine seems to get different keyboard
mappings from somewhere.

Env: ssh from gnome-terminal, TERM=xterm

Symptoms:
bash:  everything works just fine (home,end,cursor keys,tab)
nvi :  everything works just fine (home,end,cursor keys,tab)

vim (command mode):
home,end,cursor keys work, but tab doesn't work for commands. tab key
displays ^I instead.

vim (insert mode):

up cursor= A + enter
left cursor  = D + enter
right cursor = C + enter
down cursor  = B + enter

home = H
end  = F

Additional note:
If I ssh back to my main machine from this server, the vim on my machine
doesn't not have the same behaviour.

I'm stuck, any help/explanation would be much appreciated.

Starting new entries in /etc/rc.conf

[Bill Schoolcraft]

Hello Family,

I recently whacked the default outgoing mail process on my
FreeBSD-4.8 system and could no longer send mail with Pine using
"localhost" although I could in fact send mail with the command:

mail -s "mail test" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So I went into /usr/ports/postfix-current and did an install and
at the end the instructions were to add the following to
/etc/rc.conf


sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-bd"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"


Now, I see basicall the command of `sendmail -bd` nested in the
above settings but I'm not quite sure about the other three.

In other words, how would you correctly "source" the
/etc/rc.conf file if you can at all or is this file only meant
to be referenced at boot time?

Thanks

Doesn't build or doesn't run?
I just built it moments ago, and it seemed fine.
I haven't actually installed or run it in several months.

/etc/rc.firewall has lots of examples using ipfw; the concepts should
work just as well with ipf.

If you don't have one already, create a /etc/periodic.conf file, and
within it set some variables:

daily_output="/var/log/daily.log"
weekly_output="/var/log/weekly.log"
monthly_output="/var/log/monthly.log"

This will direct the output to those log files, rather than e-mailing
to root.  If you use precisely those file names, the log files will be
automatically cycled by newsyslog(8).

Refer to /etc/defaults/periodic.conf for all the other stuff you can
modify.  /etc/periodic.conf has exactly the same relation to
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf as /etc/rc.conf does to
/etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Cheers,

Matthew

What can/should I do other than make dist-clean prior to the rest? Guess I 
didn't think about the issue being on my end. But of course it's possible, 
not sure how to check it though. Hmm, maybe I should try another port, 
something small perhaps and see if it has problems as well. I did several 
installs from the ports no problem e.g. Apache, PostgreSql and then things 
got a little chaotic. Samba afaik installed fine but my configuration 
attempts quickly became fubar'd. I will get back to that eventually, using 
ssh and ftp from my workstation is just fine for now. And my X11 install 
didn't complete cuz I ran out of space on my /usr partition so I cleared 
all that out.

Other than that haven't had any problems... and have been up and running 
for 2 1/2 weeks now. :)

Mail is only sent if there is output.  Make sure there's no output if
the job succeeds (perhaps by redirecting it) and you'll be all set.

By default, cron will email you whatever would be shown on the terminal when 
the script runs.
The way I get around this is to redirect the stdout of the script to /dev/
null.
Like this:
0 0 * * * /root/bin/myscript.sh > /dev/null

According to the Handbook:

   Slice numbers follow the device name, prefixed with an s, starting at 1.
   So ``da0s1'' is the first slice on the first SCSI drive. There can only be
   four physical slices on a disk, but you can have logical slices inside
   physical slices of the appropriate type. These extended slices are
   numbered starting at 5, so ``ad0s5'' is the first extended slice on the
   first IDE disk. These devices are used by file systems that expect to
   occupy a slice.

Do yourself a big favor, and remove all that " qmailrocks stuff" This is
not deemed to be an official site, but just some guys "interpretation."

Install qmail according to www.lifewithqmail.org step by step and it will
just work. You even can copy the scripts right from the site (as long as
you are not in windows).

In the process, you will begin to understand how it works.

Yes, I know. I seem to have great aim when it comes to shooting myself
in the foot. ;-) Fortunately, I see no pressing need for me to upgrade
or remove MySQL, as the current config is exactly what I need.

I'll remember this for next time.

BTW, I guess I am not the only one to not be able to install MySQL from
ports. I have tried on three different machines all running 4.9 and it
never worked. Go figure.

I did mine the hard way. I grabbed that file and put into /tmp. I then

distfiles methods is easiest.

Have you resolved the truncated downloads? I would make sure that is not
an issue prior to installing from the gz. You sure don't want the

Whish I knew.  It's freezes (eg. no keyboard or mouse, replies to ping,
but no new shh sesions, etc.) It is problaly something software, as I've
changed almost everything on the hardware side. No drop to debugger,
nothing in logs. (I suspect *something* in the interupt code, I'll try
on 5.2when I'l have time).

I am not using the firewall now, but will try that if I don't get it

As the last time I got it running on my old computer, I didn't touch the
default settings and mldonkey connected to servers with no problem. Now,
with a new computer and fresh installation of 5.1, I cannot get it

crontab

Hi,

I have a number of scripts that run every night using a crontab.  In my
crontab file I'm using the MAILTO flag to get cron to email me every
time it runs which results in a lot of emails.

Is there any way of instructing cron to only email me if the cron job
fails?
