Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 17:14:46 GMT
Hello,
I've been looking for a way to get a count of a
certain number of instances that are hit with the
grep that I'm using. The syntax I have now is:
grep -x 'Levl 1' *
Anyone have advice on a way to send the count of
these instances to a file, or even display the
number of instances?
Thanks in Advance.

Hey Mark,
It's FVWM(Window Maker) under redhat 5.2. I did find the xwp file by
reading my "documentation" :) J/K guy! I want to be able to put it in
my apps menu so I don't have to go through all that each time.
Thanks Mark,

Subject: PPP and Fax conflict
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 11:38:05 -0400
I installed linux 5.2 on my laptop, rebuilt the kernel, and configured
pcmia for the modem cards. All went well. I could dialout via PPP to my
ISP. I then bought the power tools which included fax capability.
Immediate the PPP functio ceased to function.
Reason the fax listen software is always attached to the modem. When
linux is started the fax listening software is started. If I kill the
fax listener (gettyfax?) and rename the file to a different name, PPP
works fine.
Can anyone offer a way that will allow the PPP service to coexist with
the fax service. I even thought there was a command to disable (stop)
the fax service. then when I was done with PPP turn it back on. If it is
there I couldn't find it.
thanks

What window manager or desktop environment are you using? KDE? Gnome?
FVWM?
Describe what the system looks like at startup if you don't know; or
alternatively, run "ps -ax" from X and post the results. Without this,
we're stuck, with insufficient information.
For now, to run it, you need to run "xwp" from the bin subdirectory to
where you installed it. For example, if you put WP8 in /usr/local/wp8,
run /usr/local/wp8/bin/xwp.

Easier said than done. I was going to mail you. But the headers seems to
indicate that you are using a forged from-header.
Well - actually, I couldn't know, as there IS a domain called nowhere.com,
and it didn't specifically tell me that the user "nowhere" didn't exist,
but...
Anyhow, the answer you're looking for, is in the manpage of e2fsck:
-b superblock
Instead of using the normal superblock, use an
alternative superblock specified by
superblock.Thisoptionisnormallyusedwhentheprimary-
superblock has been corrupted; most filesystems
have primary superblocks located at blocks 8193,
16385, etc. If an alternative superblock is speci-
fied and the filesystem is not opened read-only,
e2fsck will make sure that the primary superblock
is updated appropriately upon completion of the
filesystem check.
If you haven't specified something else when you made the filesystem (quite
unlikely, because if you had, you'd likely not have to ask this question
either), you can simply boot from a rescue-disk, and do:
e2fsck -b 8193 /dev/hda1
Of course, replace hda1 with the correct device-name for the corrupt
Linux-partition.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Deja only claims two messages on this group from your email address. The
first one about video card drivers didn't really give much information,
or show any evidence that you'd read any documentation (www.xfree86.org
- note that it's "X" or "X Window System" *not* XWindows) or searched
for yourself using e.g. AltaVista.
The second one about window manager menus (which I have answered) is
similar - you seem to have little concept of the relation between X, the
window manager and the applications, which is admittedly less cohesive
than under Windows. I have no problem with you being a newbie (how
accommodating I am!) but with this little knowledge you really should be
buying a beginners' guide to linux book rather than asking here each and
every time something goes wrong. Also, that posting precedes this one by
a mere 24 minutes - how quickly are you expecting answers?
Read around and search a bit before asking.
This problem is only going to get worse as more and more people migrate
to Linux. I have been using it since 1994 - then, people hardly ever
asked this level of question. I'm waiting in dread for "broken
cupholder" type questions to flood in.
NOTE: I am not suggesting that people with little idea of how to run
Linux are in any way inferior - don't give me the "what gives you the
right to preach" rubbish. I'm not looking down on you, just stating the
facts.

Subject: NFS Server in Linux 2.0
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 11:13:14 -0700
I'm not sure if this is right forum but:
I'm trying to set up a NFS server on my linux machine for AIX users to
access.
I've set up my hosts.deny and hosts.allow as per documention. I've also
inserted the two lines according to the nfs howto doc into inetd.conf like
this:
mount/1-2 dgram rpc/udp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd rpc.mountd
mount/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd rpc.mountd
I've created my export file that looks like this:
#
/home/public (rw,insecure,all_squash)
#
note: I only made one entry now for testing and i'm not worried about the
security as yet until I get it working. (our system is inside a tight
security firewall) I will change this as soon as I see it working.
Portmapper runs and I do get a list with rpcinfo -p. Which is:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
100005 1 udp 747 mountd
100005 2 udp 747 mountd
100005 1 tcp 747 mountd
100005 2 tcp 747 mountd
now, I get this, when I issue the rpc.mountd with the -P 747 for port and
the command line (doing this manual, for inetd doesn't seem to want to work,
even with running the exportfs file).
If I issue both rpc.mountd and rpc.nfsd after portmapper is installed
without any port designation it assigns the mountd randomly and never at 745
udp and 747 tcp. Is there a way to do this?
Regardless of having the ports assigned, I get an RPC error (connection
refused) when trying a local mount (I added localhost:/mnt/test (rw) to my
exports file and killed the processes and restarted them manually).
I have gone to a unix machine as root (hosts.allow is set for net address
level like 192.168.0.0.), and tried to mount also with the scenarios
mentioned above. I've read and read documents, so is there anyone out there
that may help me out on this?
thank you much if you can.

Subject: Port scanner
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 18:13:46 +0000
Okay, dumb questions and I'm sure I already know the answer. We have a
customer who wants to have a static IP address, but we are concerned
that he would try to run a server on his side and with a simple dial-up
account, that falls into a different payment bracket. To make sure that
he doesn't run a server on his end and stays compliant with the
agreement, I'd like to know a useful port scanner application out there
that would check the ports on an IP address. A GUI interface would work
well, but it doesn't have to be GUI.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: ip forwarding
Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 18:45:14 +0100
Being a slightly advanced newbie myself, I would have to ask what
modules you have loaded. IIRC, ping does not actually use TCP, (Nor does
FTP). Anyway, AFAIK, the stock standard forwarding utility does only
tcp, and you have to load modules to get the other protocols.
I may be well off base, but it is a clue, right?
If in doubt, use the ipchains check utility. Change the protocol to the
one used by ping. See if ipchains forwards it.

Posts tend to get ignored for a few reasons. Either you're posting in
the wrong group, or you give a vague subject line ("i need help" is a
bad subject line), but most likely, your question has already been
answered, be it in a FAQ, HOWTO, or countless times in the newsgroups.
I always do a power search on dejanews before I post a question, and 9
times out ot 10, I either find an answer to my question, or glean enough
information to figure it out for myself.
I looked at your posts, and they were X questions, so they belong in
comp.os.linux.x. While I'm up, I'll give a couple quick answers to your
posts:
video card problem: re-run whatever X configuration program you like
(Xconfigurator, XF86Setup, xf86config).
apps menu problem: this is a window manager-specific problem.
different window managers have different ways of adding items to menus,
so be sure to specify your window manager when you post in c.o.l.x or
better yet, do a power search in dejanews - you may find you answer
without needing to post.

Subject: xterm & background processes
Date: 27 May 1999 14:39:58 -0400
Running a terminal and involking a background process, say "foo &"
should invoke foo in the background that is detached from the parent
process. Specifically, when I terminate the parent process, the
xterm, foo should continue to run. As a specific example, I run emacs
in the background and then terminate the xterm from which it runs
should not kill emacs. Is there a setting somewhere that I am
missing? I am running RedHat 6.0 and have noticed this problem since
5.2 although the problem is getting more annoying. I am also running
GNOME and Metro-X. I doubt a GNOME error because it predates my use
of GNOME.

That's right. Related more to C++, even.

If longjmp or setjmp are used in a C++ program,
the result is very likely to be that some destructors
are not run against objects that were constructed
in stack frames that longjmp strips back, and that
destructors are run against pseudo-objects that
were not constructed (or which have already been
destructed) in the stack frame containing the
setjmp call. This latter possiblity best fits the
"object may be crobbled" warning.
All things considered, setjmp/longjmp should
really not appear in C++ programs except when
used by the most disciplined programmers who
know C++ well but are still willing to write long
stretches of strictly C code in the region between
the setjmp and longjmp. (Those are rare folks.)
The fix is to either get rid of the setjmp/longjmp
calls, or compile the code as C.

Subject: mtx with Exabyte 17D Autoloader
Date: 27 May 1999 17:31:13 GMT
I'm trying to get mtx 1.1 to work with an Exabyte 17d Autoloader. It's
letting me load tapes into the DLT drive, but when I issue an "unload"
command it gives an error. For instance, when I tell it to unload the tape
into slot two on the autoloader, it gives this error:
Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 2...mtx: Request
Sense: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 3B 90 00 00 00 56 00 00
mtx: MOVE MEDIUM from Element Address 82 to 2 Failed
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions? I've emailed the creator of the mtx
program asking if he's dealt with the Exabyte loaders at all, but no
response yet. If there's another way to do this besides using mtx, I'm up
for that too. Thanks.
