open multiple xterms with script
hi to all the list, i need some help... Is it possible to open four consoles as root(authenticate yourself once), in each one run a specific program and do this through a script? {bash or python). i want to open 4 xterms in the four corners of the screen. In 3 xterms i want to run specific applications needing root privileges and the last i want it for administrative purposes. what i have so far: sudo xterm -e path/to/application1 sudo xterm -e path/to/application2 sudo xterm -e path/to/application3 sudo xterm But this approach has the following problems: 1) i have only managed to get it to work as sudo not su 2) i haven't managed to position the 4 terminals correctly in the 4 corners of the screen 3) i want to be able to close and restart a single terminal.without running again the whole script (this i am not sure if it is even doable). For example if one of the applications hungs, then i want to be able to restart this application, without running the whole script again. thanks in advance for your help, nicolas ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: open multiple xterms with script
Thank you for your help! some additional questions: 1) is there any way to give the root password once? i tried this: #!/bin/sh su root -c \ xterm -geometry 80x25 -title 'App 1' -e 'app1' xterm -geometry 80x25 -title 'App 2' -e 'app2'\ but i get this: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s 2) Not very elegant and tidy, but should work. You could add some checking to the first script mentioned so it gets a clue which application is *not* running and restart it when called, not starting those that are running again (second session). i don't think i need something so complex. Is there any way to instruct xterm not to close after the execution of the program? So basically the idea is open 4 terminals, execute a specific command inside them but if the command finishes or stops, the terminal stays {with a new prompt}. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: re changing from vista
You have to be more specific, if you need actual help if you are not sure that FreeBSD will work with your hardware, you may try it and see what happens For the software part: FreeBSD has a large collection of software often refered to as ports.But again you have to be more specific, tell the list what you want to do... and people will help you -nikos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Using grep to search a repository
Hi to all the list, i have a project with a lot of bash scripts in a folder hierarchy.I haven't wrote the project myself so many times i have to search for the definition of a function. For this purpose i decided to use grep {recursively}. The problem is that the project is an svn repository... so grep returns results from .svn and it is really messes up the outcome of grep. I tried bypassing the problem using the `--exclude=file_pattern' but since its use is for files not directories it doesn't work So the questions are: 1) Can i bypass certain directories{i.e. '.svn' or 'log/'}, using grep? {or a combination of tools + grep} 2) Is there any other tool you would use for this job? thanks in advance for your help, -nicolas PS: if it matters i prefer using gnu grep. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

weird restarts when compiling
Hi to all the list, i 've been using FreeBSD for almost a month ,and i have this weird problem. Sometimes when i try to compile a program the computer will hard-reset itself, like someone pulled of the plug... For example yesterday i was trying to install jdk1.6 + eclipse, and while i was compiling eclipse {more precisely -if i remember correctly- the diablo-jdk needed for eclipse} the computer rebooted itself. The load of the computer was: 2-3xterms, 1 Konversation irc client ,several opera9.51 windows, 1-2 konqueror windows, and 1-2 Firefox widows. I have a dual core box with 2GB of memory and i use freebsd7 32bit. The computer was online for 8hours with almost the same load {minus the compilation-procedure}. * Has anyone had problems like this? * What can i do to investigate a bit more what was the situation before the restart? * Is there anyway to solve this problem. thanks for your help, nikos PS: i could blame the power company but the above problem has happened before{several times} when i tried to compile big programs like firefox or do a pkgdb -Fu, so i don't think it is this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for your answers Manolis and Mike. In the beginning i didn't suspect hardware because it happened only at compilation procedures.

Look through /var/log/messages. i get this: Jul 13 09:00:00 apollo newsyslog[1018]: logfile turned over due to size100K * CPU overheating - Is there anyway to check for cpu temperatures within freebsd? - I 've used the pc for like 8 hours in a really hot day but it didn't restart...if this can be considered as an indication. *Memory - i used memtest ,from an ubuntu live cd, to check the memory and everything works fine according to it. *PSU I have a 400Watt PSU... maybe this is inadequate. I will try to swap it for something stronger to see how it goes. In general where are there any stress tests i can do, to test the PSU and some major subsystems of the computer? thanks in advance, nikos PS: this was a ready-made pc that had it's p4 processor upgraded to a dual core.

Re: weird restarts when compiling
Not really. All modern CPUs have BIST (built-in self tests) that run even before the BIOS starts, and it would be really rare to actually have a working system with a faulty CPU. Errors in mprime usually indicate some other problem, such as bad memory, bad BIOS settings, overheating or an incompatibility of CPU/motherboard etc. Going back to what you said previously, you got an Nvidia 5200 graphics card? Were these ever produced for PCI express or are you using a) a normal PCI one or b)You got one of these weird mobos that have both AGP and PCI express? As I understand there are no AGP-only motherboards for core2duo. Yes i have a weird mobo that has both AGP and PCI. The nvidia is an AGP one. The mobo wasn't my choise :( but when the changed the false cpu with a dual core they didn't want to change the graphics card as well. Can this mobo create problems? Another thought: Sometimes the CPU cooler is not entirely seated, resulting in bad thermal contact of the heatsink/CPU assembly. This is not unusual in the 775 socket since the mechanism requires quite some pressure to lock and some people are afraid to apply it ;) I will check it... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
