Someone (Richard Doyle?) asked about 10 days ago for the sources of the ticker program.
The archive 2.9.4-sourcesnapshot.tar.gz, dated May 29, 1999 at ftp://ftp.linuxrouter.org/linux-router/old/2.9.4/source/ contains the sources for ticker, watchdog, an ipfwd as well as the original of the binaries found in Dachstein, Shorewall, etc. I believe ipfwd is now obsolete. I may be wrong :-)) The watchdog code is almost identical to the busybox watchdog code. Which gave me this silly idea: follow the sequence. If anybody is interested in this new busybox ticker applet, I will post the diff on my page. However, this may end up in the next official release of busybox. :-)) Cheers!!! From: "Serge Caron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: LEAF and ticker Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2002 15:51:12 -0500 Dear busybox :-), The Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall project at http://leaf.sourceforge.com is actively using busybox for all current releases. It is with tongue in cheek that I submit this busybox applet, ticker, for which we have been budgeting 3Kb since the early release of the Linux Router Project. It is about time this ticker got a lick. Ticker is just a warm fuzzy feeling that just won't die and I thought I'd pass it along.

It is about time this ticker got a lick. With tongue also held firmly in cheek I humbly submit a version which I found to be 96 bytes smaller :) #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main(void) { int i; char c[] = {'.', 'o', ':', 'O', ':', 'o'}; switch(fork()) { case -1: return -1; case 0: setbuf(stdout, 0); putchar(' '); while(1) { for(i = 0; i < sizeof(c); i++) { putchar('\b'); putchar(c[i]); sleep(1); } } } return 0; } [cue frantic attempts to beat me by another 100 bytes] -- ------------ Alex Holden - http://www.linuxhacker.org ------------ If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer From: "Serge Caron" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Alex Holden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [BusyBox] LEAF and ticker Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2002 19:35:35 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.72.3612.1700 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3612.1700 Dear Alex, Lester B Pearson once said "Diplomacy is the art of letting other people have it your way." :-)) I am glad to see that the busybox community has the greatest sense of humor. I will report to the LEAF project that their flagship product, ticker, is now mainstream busysbox and has found a champion in the person of Alex Holden. Best regards, Serge Caron PS: You can keep the 96 bytes :-)) ROTFL _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
