how to tell which process call sendmail
So, some idiot is using a cgi or php or something to send mail out of his website that he shouldn't be sending. With a bunch of sites on the server, can't tell who. System accounting can tell me that sendmail was executed 32,976 times, but is there a way to tell what process /file name called it each time? Since it's always called by the www user that doesn't help -- I need to distinguish between legit processes that call 5 or 10 in a day and the idiot who calls the other 31,000 times. Thanks!

tar won't extract a dir
Hello all, never had tar refuse to extract a directory from an archive before. tar archive is: htdocs.1201.tar.gz tar tzf htdocs.1201.tar.gz | grep standrewsglenwood ...shows a list of files contained within the archived dir: htdocs/standrewsglenwood/many whatevers yet the command: tar xzf htdocs.1201.tar.gz htdocs/standrewsglenwood ...extracts nothing. I've tried an individual file in that dir with no success. I've tried other files and dirs with no success. ??

Something new! Rebuilt everything I could think of and no joy. The genesis of this thing is a php page that is executed out of cron as a command. It worked great until mysql 5.5 installed. I've been testing from the command line. Then had a brainstorm, and ran the php page from the address line of a browser instead of the command line and it works. Should of thought of that test before. So why is it OK thru a browser but not as a command? That leads me to believe it's not mysql_connect's problem at all but the php cli isn't working properly.

MySQL update
Trying to update MySQL from 4.1 to 5.5. Updating mysql-client first. Make works great, but make install refuses to install saying 5.5 conflicts with 4.1, run pkg_delete for 4.1. pkg_delete for 4.1 refuses to deinstall as all the php52 packages (extensions, mysql, mysqli, pdo_mysql etc.) depend on mysql 4.1.

coldfusion alternative
OK so a good customer of long standing wants a coldfusion website. Some developer, the husband of one of his staff (so that makes him a trusted advisor, right?), has convinced him it's the only way to do it. My position is maybe that's the only way -he- can do it but there's a whole wide world of alternatives out there. Looking at it, he wants to collect some data on an input form, then hash it over a couple of ways and present the results. Pretty graphics maybe as well. Looks to me like Perl... don't even need a real database, heck DB_File would work just fine for this. OK with me... ...but what's the argument to present other than you don't need coldfusion? I'd even put CF on the system and be done with it if there was a FreeBSD version (anyone have any luck with that?). Tracked down BlueDragon but that's apparently Win only as well. Ammunition wanted.

Break even for what? Oh I get it - break even to make a profit, right? Hmm I wonder who gets the profits from the sale of FreeBSD? Do you suppose they would be overly concerned with the 2% rule? This is one of the (many) problems with trying to hold a free OS up to a measuring stick designed for measuring commercial OSes. Note that Linux is doing much better against these measuring sticks because the Linux community, for all their loud proclamations about being GPL, has been steadily making Linux less and less distinguishable from the commercial OSs. When for example was the last time you saw a Linux enthusiast with a burned CDROM of an ISO he downloaded somewhere? The ones I see all have colorful cardboard boxes with penguins on them that they bought at Fry's. Consider that even if FreeBSD had 50% of all running computers - if those 50% of computers all belong to people that never buy software and only run freeware, the people that create these measuring sticks would bend over backwards to be sure those 50% were not counted. Not because they have anything against FreeBSD, but simply because the customers of the data these measuring sticks produce cannot sell anything to that 50% - thus they don't care if that 50% exists or not.
