I have a Perl script that I run from cron. It's not pretty (I know
almost nothing about Perl); it just works.
It's something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $url = 'http://www.somesite.com/index.html';
# access the url with lynx, redirecting STDOUT to ELFILO
# one can use either -source or -dump; see man lynx
open ELFILO, "lynx -accept_all_cookies -source '$url' |" ;
while (my $line = ) {
do something with $line using regular expressions and print whatever output I
need
}

It's somewhat documented.
>From RFC 2646:
4.3. Usenet Signature Convention
There is a convention in Usenet news of using "-- " as the separator
line between the body and the signature of a message. When
generating a Format=Flowed message containing a Usenet-style
separator before the signature, the separator line is sent as-is.
This is a special case; an (optionally quoted) line consisting of
DASH DASH SP is not considered flowed.
4.5. Quoting
In Format=Flowed, the canonical quote indicator (or quote mark) is
one or more close angle bracket (">") characters. Lines which start
with the quote indicator are considered quoted. The number of ">"
characters at the start of the line specifies the quote depth.
Flowed lines which are also quoted may require special handling on
display and when copied to new messages.

The good news is that your website is working; the bad news is that you may have to make further changes. I didn't want to tell you this when we were discussing your problem off-list, because it would have added complexity to the situation. Your Linux box gets its IP address (192.168.1.101) from the router via DHCP. If my crystal ball is not working, stop reading and delete this post. You don't need DHCP on the Linux box now, because you are behind the router. Reconfigure your box with a static ip address. Log into your router and check the DHCP tab. You want to assign an IP address that it's outside the router's DHCP server range. I'll bet you 2 dollars that 192.168.1.10 works. The problem with having the Linux box get the IP address from the router is that the box, could, at least in theory, get an address other that 192.168.1.101 in the future, forcing you to change the IP addresses in httpd.conf. -- Saul Arias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

The situation, as I understand is this: You want to serve a web site from a box behind a Linksys Cable/DSL router. You were serving this web site before, but the box hosting it was directly connected to the Internet. Your web site is omega-fleet.homelinux.org. It resolves to 24.158.191.171 24.158.191.171 is the external IP address that your router reports. The IP address of the box hosting the web site is 192.168.1.101 If I access omega-fleet.homelinux.org from the Internet, I get your router management tool. My feeling is that the only thing that you have to do is have the router forward external http requests to your internal box. I happen to have a Linksys BEFSR41. In this router, I would go to the Advanced tab, then to the Forwarding tab. In the Forwarding tab, I would enable forwarding of TCP on the external port range 80 to 80 (ie only port 80) to IP address 192.168.1.101.

The length of this thread is 17 messages now, and no one has posted the solution to Mr. Nagy's problem. Apparently Mr. Burger and Mr. Hughes consider more important to write procmail recipes than helping fellow Red Hat users. There are at least two ways of getting your external IP address: 1. Log into your router and get it from there. You'll have to check the router's documentation for the exact commands to do this. Most home-office routers hava a web interface. 2.

Maybe in upper case. That's the response Mr. Nagy deserves. Before anyone flames me for being too harsh on newbies, consider this: 1. Mr. Nagy knows the solution to his problem, he just cannot remember it. Apparently he's too lazy or stupid to take notes. 2. He is aware that he should search on google and read the docs before posting, but no, he won't do it. He considers himself beyond that. 3. I assume he knows the exact problem he has (because he already knows the solution), and yet he will not state it in a clear manner. He just asks how to find the "IP info", when in fact he needs to find the external ip address of the router that it's between his workstation and the internet.

I have a PII-266Mhz with 160 MB RAM. I run RedHat 7.3 with Gnome. I usually have several xterms open, plus Evolution, Opera and the Yahoo Messenger, and the speed is not a problem for me. My impression is that you don't need more RAM. Do a "ps -axfu" to see which processes you are running. Maybe you have something running in the background that you don't need. Take a look at the "top" command, also. Another suggestion is to "purge" Evolution mailboxes, as these can get really big.

dst cache overflow
We've had a problem with our web server twice in the last month. Suddenly the machine stops responding to remote access (http, ssh, ftp, even ping). In order to solve the problem, we logged on to the console and rebooted the server. /var/log/messages shows a lot of lines like these: kernel: dst cache overflow Doing some research on google I found that this problem somewhat relates to a routing cache table filling up (whatever that means). Someone suggested issuing a "ip route flush cache" regularly via crond, to avoid the routing table filling up.

IMAP server setup - need guidance
I have a LAN of one RH7 box and seven Win95/98 PCs. I have DSL access to the Internet, using masquerade on a second Linux box. We have one email account with an ISP where all of our customer emails are sent. I want to setup an email server on one RH7 box so that customer emails can be accessed, and replied, from any of the Win98/98 PCs, via Outlook. I understand that this can be done by transferring all incoming email to a single "mailbox" in the RH7 box, and then running an IMAP server. I think I have to do this: 1. Install an MTA on the RH7 box. This can be sendmail, exim, qmail, postfix. 2. Install fetchmail on the RH7 box, and run it as a cron job to download e-mail regularly from my ISP to the RH7 box. 3. Install an IMAP server on the RH7 box. This can be Cyrus-imapd. 4. Configure Outlook in the PCs to use my RH7 box as their SMTP and IMAP server. I am not running a DNS server, and I understand this is not necessary for what I intend to do. I would like some feedback before I start downloading stuff and messing with my system. Specifically, I need to know: 1. Which MTA program should I choose? I understand sendmail is overkill for my needs. We receive only around 50 emails from customers each day. 2. Is Cyrus the best choice for IMAP server? 3. Do I need to set up a DNS server? 4. Is there anything else that I need to install? 5. Is there a better approach to solve my problem? Thanks.

Inittab is set OK, what other files should I look at? ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
