Re: redirecting command output depending on exit status
I have a cron task set up using lockf. I'd like to redirect one exit status to /dev/null : I think that the exit status of a command will be after any output of the command to stderr or stdout. So first it will say This is wrong and then it will exit giving you the exit code. The only thing I can think of is to write a wrapper script which in effect parses out the error message for example: command | grep -v offending message logfile Regards Riaan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

how to protect my system from third party apps crashes
Hello. I'm having stability issues on my desktop system running FreeBSD 8.2-R on amd64. It happens quite often that some application (say web browser) goes nuts and totally locks-up my system. When it happens it looks like the application is frozen but I can't kill it. WCPU usage goes up rapidly and after a while system doesn't respond to anything than brutal hard reset. I guess it's not the system itself to blame, but it would be good if it could handle misbehaving programs. What I'm looking for is some kind of protection from system lock ups. I don't mind when the browser hangs, but I don't want it to kill my whole system. Any suggestions, hints, ideas please? I am aware that it's a workaround to the problem instead of a real solution, but that's what is needed.

Cannot boot from ZFS raidz1
Hi, I have used this setup guide (http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/RAIDZ1) line by line with the 8.2-RELEASE DVD for amd64 to install a VirtualBox guest for testing. The only difference to the setup guide: I use a SAS controler, so devicename is da0, da1, da2 instead of ad0, etc. I tried it with a SATA controler as well, but no differences. After reboot, I get the following error from the loader: ZFS: i/o error - all block copies unavailable ZFS: can't read MOS object directory Can't find root filesystem - giving up ZFS: unexpected object set type 0 ZFS: unexpected object set type 0 FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: zroot:/boot/kernel/kernel boot: ZFS: unexpected object set type 0 FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: zroot:/boot/kernel/kernel boot: I hope someone can give an hint, what's going wrong here.

Hi, thanks to all who answered. * Damien Fleuriot wrote: I refer you to this post by Jeremy Chadwick with tuning values *AND* their actual explanation. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-February/061642.html Good post indeed, but i think i found my problem elsewhere, though i have to admit that i don't really understand what is happening. The Citrix XenServers 5.6 boxes are connected with 2x1GB, using bonding with balance-slb, to an HP ProCurve 2910al-24G Switch. It seems this balance-slb mode is patch from Citrix and i could not come up with some documentation for it. Only thing i know it is a modified form of balance-alb. The FreeBSD box is also connected to this switch with two NICs, one em and one igb driven NIC. If i do not use lagg and assign just a single address to one of the NICs on FBSD, everything works well. I do only set vm.kmem_size_scale and vfs.zfs.arc_max and get r/w speed of a little bit above 100MB/s when doing: dd bs=1M count=4096 ... and remounting before reading or writting. But if i do use lagg in loadbalance or in lacp mode (here also enabled lacp on the necessary switch ports) i see via a tcpdump, that ip packets seem to get lost!? On top of that this only happens when reading data via NFS, writting is fine. Then again lagg in failover mode seems to work ok. The NICs themself look fine and are automatically set to 1000baseT full duplex. There are also no errors reported via netstat. I am not sure if the switch does not like playing with the arp addresses on its ports or if it has something to do with the slb implementation from citrix. When i have a downtime for the xenserver i will reconfigure it to use lacp, then lets see if that works. cheers --lars ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Security monitoring all file changes
Hello! We are running hosting servers and i think we need to monitor and log all changes in filesystems (ftp log is written already, but we give shell access and also files can be changed by scripts), so, when a client asks when the file/directory was changed or deleted and by whom we can answer that question. In what directtion should i look? Is Audit the thing for it? The problem with the whole idea is that i don't want to hog the raid with huge log of what happened to the files every nanosecond. For example, file is opened, writen 1000 times with write() and the closed. I don't want to get 1000 lines in the log. Something like: opened for write write repeated 1000 times (just one line with repetition counter) closed whould be nice, but if not possible, then just open and closed logged, w/o write. Better than nothing. Or maybe it can be very optimized binary log. I have no idea what i am writing about :) Thanks in advance!

Forcefully change a program's volume
Hi, I'm aware that in FreeBSD 8+ there is the VPC (Volume Per Channel) feature which allows separate programs to have separate sound volumes. But suppose there is a (bad) program that does not let me control its volume from within its interface. Is there a way for me to control it at the OS level? In other words, I'm trying to perform these steps: Given the program X: 1) Find out what channel(s) X is using 2) Forcibly modify the VPC settings for those channels Is it possible? I realize there are probably issues where if X opens/closes new channels on the fly it might be hard to keep track of, but is the underlying support even there? I imagine if I can open the appropriate device, I can use the SNDCTL_DSP_SETPLAYVOL ioctl. But how do I open the appropriate device?

[UPDATE] host-setup(1): a dialog(1)-based utility for configuring FreeBSD
Hi List Members! I'm proud to announce the first update to my host-setup utility (a dialog(1)-based host configurator for FreeBSD). The following changes have been made: - fixed bug where /etc/resolv.conf would be created with 0600 permissions - fixed bug when switching from one default gateway to NO default gateway - fixed typo in the title of netmask prompt and ifconfig options dialog - fixed bug that prevented entry of netmask if no netmask is configured You can get the updated version here: http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/host-setup.txt or http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download/host-setup.gz or http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/ For those not familiar with my host-setup(1) utility, it is a 2,500+ line shell script that utilizes the dialog(1) utility to walk the system administrator through setting up their TimeZone, Hostname, Network Interfaces, Default Gateway, and DNS. Our custom FreeBSD installer sets this script as the root login shell, making it very easy for field engineers to quickly get a system on the network without having to use the command-line (and without having to reboot either). Underneath the hood - behind the system of prompts and dialogs - this script manages both the contents of /etc/rc.conf, /etc/resolv.conf, and others as well as utilizing ifconfig(8), route(8), and many other tools to avoid requiring a reboot, prompting you if you would like to make the new changes effective when values are changed from their active settings.

So the blacklisting decision may not be something he has the power to change. Also keep in mind that in a lot of university environments network access is uncontrolled. Where I work students can plug into any network jack and have full access. They do make an effort to react to and shut down compromised machines, but I can see why blacklisting IPs that aren't intended to have mail servers on them might seem like a reasonable proactive measure.

Have you been able to perform the first steps of my checklist, i. e. the cdcontrol and media identification part? I have to blame mplayer or is it FreeBSD? I think it's the hardware - your description of rebooting when trying to mount lets me think into this direction. Try to find out the reason. Work with AS FEW variables as possible, i. e. start with plain simple tests as I mentioned them. If you get THAT done without error, the problem is somewhere else. Another thing: Can you check device permissions for the acd* devices, as well as for cd* and xpt* if you're using ATAPICAM? Just to make sure and MINIMIZE the variables involved in this diagnostic process. The movie is good, it plays on my other FreeBSD box, is something wrong or should I try to go for vlc? Well, VLC isn't bad, although I really prefer mplayer as I'm using it since the earliest days.

building a port with very long list of build options
Let's say I want to build a port for which I need to specify a huge number of build options (eg. ghostscript). In my case I am cross-compiling on an amd64 host for what will be a NanoBSD i386 target, but I don't think that's important here. The scenario precludes using the familiar configuration menu.

It's not apparent to me that that exists. This has been possible and common in the past. For example, the many options for the mplayer and mencoder ports could be specified in a file, so changing of a port's file was not needed. I'm not fully sure this option is still present, but at least on v7 it worked. Create a file Makefile.local in the port's directory and specify all your options as desired. This file will be sourced when you issue a make command and will override settings of the regular Makefile (e. g. if you want different CFLAGS for _this_ port). The file is to be in the known syntax, NAME=value. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

(End of file) [olivares@grulla /usr/home/olivares]$ It's the same problem as in your previous description, and I assume that is has nothing to do with codecs. In combination with the inability of mounting DVDs (which should work), there may be a SERIOUS problem hiding in the background. Have you been able to perform the first steps of my checklist, i. e. the cdcontrol and media identification part? This is on mt TODO list, I was going to try and swap another dvd drive (SATA) which is my suspicion :( I have to blame mplayer or is it FreeBSD? I think it's the hardware - your description of rebooting when trying to mount lets me think into this direction. I'd think I'd have to agree :(, the damn dvd drive, it is new but old IDE does not work as well as SATA. Try to find out the reason. Work with AS FEW variables as possible, i. e. start with plain simple tests as I mentioned them. If you get THAT done without error, the problem is somewhere else. Another thing: Can you check device permissions for the acd* devices, as well as for cd* and xpt* if you're using ATAPICAM? Just to make sure and MINIMIZE the variables involved in this diagnostic process. I have a /etc/devfs.conf file with the following: # Commonly used by many ports linkacd0cdrom linkacd0dvd # Allow all users to access CD’s perm /dev/acd0 0666 perm /dev/acd1 0666 perm /dev/cd0 0666 perm /dev/cd1 0666 # Allow all USB Devices to be mounted perm /dev/da0 0666 perm /dev/da1 0666 perm /dev/da2 0666 perm /dev/da3 0666 perm /dev/da4 0666 # Misc other devices perm /dev/pass0 0666 perm /dev/xpt0 0666 perm /dev/agpart 0666 perm /dev/uscanner0 0666 The movie is good, it plays on my other FreeBSD box, is something wrong or should I try to go for vlc? Well, VLC isn't bad, although I really prefer mplayer as I'm using it since the earliest days. But I doubt VLC will play without the codecs (that are, as far as I understood, an independent part and port). VLC did not play the dvds either, took a while to compile it(for troubleshooting this dvd problem). I like both players just to be honest. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...

In my machine which is more than 7 years old now, I'm using (P)ATA / ATAPI stuff only (because it doesn't have any SATA inside), and it keeps working as intended. Still it may be possible that modern hardware doesn't play that good anymore. :-) If possible, just try a different DVD drive, as you've eleminated the reason bad DVD already.

I really think it's the drive. Also make sure that the codecs are installed. If you're on x64, try to use the COMPAT32 facility. As I'm not owning x64 at home, I sadly can't be more specific about this idea. I have a similar amd64 machine that does play mostly everything in it, but I installed mplayer differently # pkg_add -r mplayer This installs mplayer with the default options which may not be optimal in some situations, especially if it's illegal in one's country to watch DVDs. :-) ** had problems with KDE and lib???.so not working and startx refused to work, last time I used ports. I always use ports for this. Although I'm a big fan of precompiled packages, mplayer and gmencoder are the tools I *insist* on building from source, both with a custom Makefile.local that defines ALL the codecs I want, which is _all_ of them. :-) *However* that machine has SATA cables not IDE like this one, this is my take on the issue.
