Command-line iridium flare prediction software for Unix/Mac OS X?
I've seen lots of iridium flare prediction software that's graphics-based, but is there any that can be run from the command line? I want to run the predictor as a cron job and pipe the output to a Perl script, for example. I'm running Mac OS X, but if I can get the source of anything that runs on FreeBSD or Linux, I'm pretty sure I can get it to compile on Mac OS X. -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.

It seems loader.conf contents (which are exactly as before) are somehow ignored if the -b flag for that device is missing. I didn't dig for the details. Without the hint for kbdmux, it freezes. Or at least appears so, because it has no reaction to anything pressed. After adding the hint, it will attach the geli device correctly, however, the kernel fault traps right after that.

It's painfull to see that you browse a website and it consumes all your cpu cycles eventually. Since most of these scripts are used to power adverts or some graphical stuff that really isn't necessary, I use FF with the Adblock, NoScript, and Flashblock-Extension. Adblock filters known ads, together with Adblock Filter.G Updater you get a decent list of ad placing sites. NoScript is configured to block all JavaScripts by default, and if I think that a website doesn't behave as I would expect (e.g. doesn't react on URL- oder buttonpresses in forms), I temporarily allow scripts for this site. Sites I visit regularly that require JavaScript get general permission. Flashblock teaches embedded Flash-Objects on demand-behaviour by replacing them with a play button. The Animation is only started after this button is being pressed.

Re: Browser Plugins - State of the Art???
Overall, I've gotten the best results with Linux-Opera. It works fine with Acroread, Java and Flash. I've not tried Real Player. The only thing it can't do is use the MPlayer plugin. Opera 9.10 (FreeBSD native) supposedly takes Linux plugins directly, which would be a huge step in the right direction. Flash 9 even works, through it is still a bit unstable. Native Firefox/Epiphany/linuxpluginwrapper works fine for me with Acroread, Flash sites coded for older players (but please see http://www.jail.se/freebsd.html for the appropriate patch) and Java. FWIW, while the Poppler-based PDF viewers like Evince and KPDF work well for many documents, for the really complicated ones there is no replacement for Acroread. Yes, this is on 6.2-RC.

Ports don't follow releases the way the system does and using anything other than the head tag will just delete your entire ports tree. The port itself will determine the proper configs for your system. My /etc/cvsupfile-ports is as follows: *default host=cvsup6.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress ports-all tag=.

kde and gnome/gtk font appearance...
I was wondering if anyone could explain this discrepancy in font appearance. Here is how fonts appear on my desktop apps in gnome/metacity. http://img110.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdegfpfa8.jpg Here is how fonts appear by default in kde/kwin. http://img300.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdewt9.jpg And here is how fonts appear in kde/kwin after I manually run the gnome-font-properties app. http://img110.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotkdegfpuh0.jpg I've tried kde with and without xfs as well as xfstt. In kde control center, I've configured it to use the same exact fonts and font sizes as gnome-font-properties. I've also set the anti-aliasing options to match up. So basically I'd like to run kde with my fonts appearing like they do in gnome. Does anyone have advice? Is there some gnome program I could have kde automatically launch to get the results I want? I'm running FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p11, xorg-6.9.0_5, kde-3.5.5, gnome2-2.16.2. -- Andy Harrison ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

where are /usr/local/etc/rc.d init scripts run from?
I was looking in /etc/rc, and it's obvious to see where the /etc/rc.d
scripts are run from.
skip=-s nostart
[ `/sbin/sysctl -n security.jail.jailed` -eq 1 ] skip=$skip -s nojail
files=`rcorder ${skip} /etc/rc.d/* 2/dev/null`
for _rc_elem in ${files}; do
run_rc_script ${_rc_elem} ${_boot}
done
So rcorder is run over /etc/rc.d/*.
When is the same done for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*?
Thanks,

They are called from /etc/rc.d/localpkg if they are the old style.
The directories searched are defined with local_startup (which defaults
to: /usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d).
The new style scripts are found in /etc/rc as well. You may want to look at
the find_local_scripts_new() function in /etc/rc.subr to see how some of this
functions. There is some trickery here because we have to do this in more
than one step. Since /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ may not be on a mounted filesystem
until we run through some of the earlier scripts.

I was unintentionally confusing in my answer. Sorry about that. If your
startup script is in the old style, it will be handled by /etc/rc.d/localpkg
when that is called during the boot process. That is ONLY if it's the old
style.
If it is part of the new style, it will be sorted *correctly* by rcorder with
the other scripts in /etc/rc.d/. I have to highlight correctly because for
your script to actually be handled correctly it must appear in the order
after the $early_late_divider (which is probably mountcritical but could be
NETWORKING if you're running a jail or something else if it's redefined by
your environment). Typically, as long as your script appears after
mountcritical, it will be handled correctly.
If you read /etc/rc carefully, you will see that rcorder is run twice. The
first time with just the scripts in /etc/rc.d/ and then it starts processing
those. This is the bit of code you included. But, if you look, it breaks
that look at the $early_late_divider and then goes down to the block I
pointed out (starting on line 98 in my system). In this case it finds all
the new style scripts in the ${local_startup} directories and then uses
rcorder to resort all the scripts in /etc/rc.d/ with the new style scripts
from those directories.
Then code then loops again (this time ignoring scripts) until it hits the
$early_late_divider and then runs all the scripts after that. If your script
appears earlier than that, it will be sorted into the section of scripts
which won't be run. In practice, this should not be a problem.
If your script is not being run correctly... you need to
investigate /etc/rc.subr and try and understand why it is not seeing it as
a new style script or if some other mistake is being made.
find_local_scripts_new is the function that does this (line 1392 on my
system) and is where I would look.
I hope this is a little more clear.
