Run rsync through a script that tests the exit value, then prints an
error message if the exit value is not equal to 0 and nothing
otherwise. Run the script from cron and it will send you an e-mail if
there is a problem.
In bash, $? is the exit value of the last command. This is a bit
verbose, but you could put the following in rsync-host77.sh:
#!/bin/bash
TIMESTAMP=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S:%N`
rsync -av /bogus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/bogus/ rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log
EXITVALUE=$?
if [[ ${EXITVALUE} -ne 0 ]]
then
echo Error: rsync exited with status ${EXITVALUE}
echo
echo Please check the file rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log for errors.

Hi Collin
Thanks Collin
Correct me if i am wrong please. I want to understand your script
step 1 : put the above code in text file and name it as rsync-host77.sh in
the folder /home/kaushal in the machine where rsync command will execute
step 2 :
cd /home/kaushal
$crontab -e
0 18 * * * rsync -host77.sh
If i want to run the rsync script at 6 pm everyday
Also where will the rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log file will be located, I believe
it will be in /home/kaushal folder. Lets say if i have to put
rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log in /tmp folder
then the above rsync line would look like
rsync -av /bogus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/bogus/ /tmp/rsync-${TIMESTAMP}.log
is that correct what i understand from your email
Thanks a Lot again
Thanks and Regards

You are correct, sir! You must also, of course, be sure to chmod u+x
rsync-host77.sh.
Note that if you want an e-mail on either success or failure (your
original post seemed to indicate this might be the case) bash
understands if-then-else-fi.

[gentoo-user] Trying to create nessus-bin-3.2.0 ebuild
Hello!
I'm trying to create nessus-bin-3.2.0 ebuild.

Hi list! Can anyone tell me how I could find the bottleneck on my wireless network? According to iwconfig, both cards are cofigured for 54 MBit/s but I only get about 13 MBit/s, both on NFS and scp.

Re: [gentoo-user] WLAN performance
ahh, marketing. Some people will believe anything! Check the table at http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/08/08/wireless_throughput.html or numerous other guides courtesy of google. This shows that maximum throughput is roughly 27Mb/s for 54g, but in my experience its much less in the real world. Note that configuring a card for 54mb/s is the maximum - unless you are quite close (distance wise), have little interference and dont have a busy 802.11b on the same AP, you are not even going to see a 54, but a fallback. And I think encryption will clip it even further if you are using that (as you should be!) BillK On Fri, 2008-03-21 at 11:33 +0100, Florian Philipp wrote: Hi list!

[gentoo-user] DVD Playback Problem
Hi Guys, First, let me say that I did search this problem on Google. I found a somewhat relevant solution, but before I try it, I thought I would post here. The problem is jerky playback of the dvd when I try to play it using kaffeine. The laptop on which I am trying to play the DVD is a Dell Inspiron M1710. It is less than a year old (purchased late April 2006). One of the things the post said was to check that dma was enabled by running hdparm -I /dev/hdc. I did that and this is the output: /dev/hdc: ATAPI CD-ROM, with removable media Model Number: TSSTcorp DVD+/-RW TS-L632D Serial Number: Firmware Revision: DE04 Standards: Likely used CD-ROM ATAPI-1 Configuration: DRQ response: 50us.

Admittedly, I haven't rebuild the kernel in a while. I'm running 2.6.21-gentoo-r4. This was because when I tried to upgrade to the next stable version of the kernel after 2.6.21-gentoo-r4, it wouldn't recognize my hard drive as a sata, so I went back to a kernel version that I knew worked. Do you think a kernel upgrade would help solve the problem. BTW I have 2 gig of memory on this laptop, so the issue shouldn't be memory related. Any ideas?

As BillK remarks, 50% of your 54 Mbit is consumed by protocol overhead. You're probably going to tell us that the two machines are currently right next to each other, so losing an additional 50% to interference other intangibles might seem at first sight unreasonable, but I doubt you'll ever do any better than that, and you could waste a lot of time trying.

[gentoo-user] version of different apps in gentoo portage
Hello I have a question about versions of some applications in gentoo portage. As I noticed there are some apps which stable version aren't updated too frequently. for example mod_security for apache on official page there is stable version 2.5.1 and in portage : [ebuild R ] www-apache/mod_security-2.1.2 USE=-doc 0 kB amavisd officialy - stable version 2.5.4 - there is even RC for 2.6 version and in portage: [ebuild N] mail-filter/amavisd-new-2.4.1 USE=mysql -ldap -milter -postgres 823 kB I understand that to be marked as stable in gentoo it needs to has some time but for example 2.4.1 amavisd version is from 2006.05.08 so it lasts really long and I don't know why?! I know that I can install it from sources but for sure there's important reason why the newest versions aren't in portage. and by the way - it's my first post here so best regards to everyone :) nichu -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

This was because when I tried to upgrade to the next stable version of the kernel after 2.6.21-gentoo-r4, it wouldn't recognize my hard drive as a sata, so I went back to a kernel version that I knew worked. Do you think a kernel upgrade would help solve the problem. BTW I have 2 gig of memory on this laptop, so the issue shouldn't be memory related. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the assistance! :-) Regards, Colleen -- That a kernel recognizes a sata-drive as pata usually happens if there are generic drivers present in the kernel.

RE: [gentoo-user] {OT} Power supply or motherboard dead?
You're absolutely right. The correct way of testing it for voltage is to plug a
power connector to a device such as a disk drive/Mobo and then to insert the
apparatus behind the connector while plugged.

You can get testers for ATX PSUs for about £20, I noticed recently,

it boot up. Some, not all, BIOS programs need some ram to boot the

Grant,
It's not clear from your other posts whether you've tried this. If
I'm testing a motherboard I _always_ want to have RAM in it - testing
without doesn't prove anything (to my satisfaction).
It could also be a broken power switch. If that is the case,
try to ground the pwr pin to a grnd(black) pin with a flat head screw
driver on the MB.
Forgot to mention this in my previous post - this is usually one of
the first things I try, because it's so easy to do.

Hi there, I work on PCs for a living, mostly peoples' home computers, and in the case of a dead pc the cause is nearly as often something else as it is a dead PSU. Causes such as a duff CD-ROM drive or a damaged USB connector are surprising but not uncommon, so reset the BIOS (using the method described by Volker) and if that doesn't work unplug as much as possible from the motherboard - you'll surely need the CPU RAM for it to post, but you may wish to swap out the RAM at some point in your diagnostics - and unplug most everything else. That means drives, PCI cards, USB devices, stuff connected to the USB serial headers, graphics card if possible. Also don't connect the power supply to any of the drives, or anything else that you're not currently using. I've seen cheap power supplies take out the motherboard when they go. Sorry if you find that to be the case. I removed everything from the motherboard and even tried another CPU that used to run on that same motherboard. No luck. I can't test the power supply in my P3 router because the CPU power plug is different.

A sample try looks like this (I begin to type emerge, with little success): [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo su wozniak tim # eexit [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ This occurs no matter how long I wait before hitting a key. Using 'su' without the preceding 'sudo' will let me into a normal root shell without the problem occurring. The problem also occurs only in Konsole, not at a tty.

I figured out how to execute 'sudo su' without a password before I figured out how to do the same with 'su'. I use sudo on a regular basis (e.g. sudo emerge -avu world) without trouble, including after this problem started, and su works too, it just adds the hassle of typing a root password. I know, I know, my laziness is winning out over proper security, shame on me. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
