Yes, this would be one option to do this. But, you know, there's always a bigger nerd...I do not want to write something that already exists. But, thanks for your suggestion. I used something similiar... Bye Stephan smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

If something went wrong, it'll be non-zero. No, I just can not use the return code, because my way to call the emerge does not allow this. I'd have to re-structure the whole prog the get the return code. So, there is no way the get the status of the last emerge like 'emerge status'? Or is there any way to redirect the return code?

[gentoo-user] Emerge - success or error
Hi ML! I've got a problem: I want to write a little prog that emerges automatically a few packages (e.g. a 'emerge -uUD world') but skips failing packages and at the end shows me which packages were emerged succesfully and which not. So, my problem is the following: I use Tcl as program language and use the following to extract the stdout and stderr from the emerge process: set stdoutChannel [open | emerge -uUD $package 2@$stderrChannel RDWR] So I have the stdout in $stdoutChannel and stderr in $stderrChannel, but I have no access to the exit code of the emerge. Or I do not know how to get the exit code. Finally, my question: How can I know if the emerge has finished successfully or if it failed? Is there any string that emerge prints out at the very end of a successful emerge process or is there a method that gives me the status of the last emerge? Thanks for every suggestion!

Re: [gentoo-user] mozilla mail not working

I had a problem, that an error message occured when I clicked on 'compose' or 'reply' which said, that I should try one more time... The debian mozilla package is version Mozilla Debian Package 1.0.0-0.woody.1. I have gentoo and debian setup to use a common /home. I did this so that whichever OS is active I can see any email received. Prior to the 1.4 emerge everything worked as planned. My problem was in fact, that I tried to use my old (1.3) profile. The solution was just deleting the most files of the profile (everything but email-folders, bookmarks and address book). After that, everything was fine. HTH stephan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] iptables trouble
Hi list! Sebastian Bergmann schrieb: iptables v1.2.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': iptables who? (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. Any idea what's wrong? I had the same problem! When I played around a bit with my kernel-settings, suddenly it worked. So, I say: check your kernel-settings, perhaps switch the one or the other option and try try try... Ciao Stephan smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
