How do you setup the cron program? I've read the man pages, it doesn't seem
to work. My user sysadmin's crontab looks like this:
00 * * * * /usr/bin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/.conf
00 * * * * /usr/bin/cleandir 5d /tmp /var/tmp
However, when logrotate runs, it mails a message to sysadmin, saying:
"Unable to open directory, too many open files"
This after a clean reboot, nothing done.
Anybody knows why this is happening?

Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2000 07:51:16 +0200
Hello,
when I partition my second harddisk with cfdisk as one large Linux
partition I get the following results:
cfdisk reports one partition "sdb5".
fdisk reports two partitions: "sdb1: Extended", "sdb5: Linux", both
occupy the same disk area
Why do I get two partitions?
Why aren't the partitions numbered incrementally?
What's the difference between "primary" and "logical" partition?
Thanks, Markus

This would give you a prompt like this:

If it's RedHat, they put a file in /etc called redhat-release (which is
what the rc script uses to create /etc/issue). So if it's RH, the
command would be "cat /etc/redhat-release".

Which is a good answer if you can get to an editor to do it.
When X comes up and your screen is all messed up, you should still be
able to switch to one of the other "virtual terminals" by doing a
"Ctrl-Alt-F2" (or F3 or ...). Then you can log in on a text terminal and
change /etc/inittab.
Alternately, you could type at the Lilo boot prompt:
linux 3
(assuming you left the lilo linux label named "linux" when you installed.)
which will cause the kernel to pass "runlevel 3" to the init process,
and bring up the text mode.

A harddisk can only have 4 primary partitions. To have any more
partitions,
one of these primary partitions must be changed into an extended
partition
which in turn can be split into about 32 logical partitions maximum. My
understanding is that back in the stone ages of computing when harddisks
were small, the partitioning standard allowed for only 4 partitions. As
the devices became larger, the standards were extended in a backwards
compatible manner to allow for more parititions.
Under Linux, the devices sdb1 to sdb4 will be primary while sdb5 on up
will
be logical. In your case, the sdb1 is a primary partition labeled as
extended
and the sdb5 is the logical partition inside of the extended one. For
purposes
of mounting, you should only be concerned with logical parition sdb5.
Fdisk
give you more precise control over partitioning while cfdisk takes a
simplistic
approach and puts everything as logical paritions.

Hi all,
I've just bought a HP Pavilion 8675 in which I've a Rockwell Riptide
card (Modem + Soundcard)
I know that the modem is a winmodem (fortunately, I've an external one
that works perfectly).
But concerning the Soundcard, I've tried to configure it with sndconfig
--> sound card not supported.
I've then tried to configure it as a SB card using the Win98 parameters
(IRQ, DMA, E/S, ...), but it didn't work : "sound device busy".
If someone as succeed in configuring this card, please mail me how I can
do.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your last reply Robie.
After I sent you my last post, I wondered if the Linux Documentation
project would have anything on bttv. I found they had a nice small easy
to understand howto on the subject.
However I'm still having some trouble with xawtv. I've got a picture and
stero sound however:
a) I can't go full screen - the screen blanks out but I still have
sound.
b) The picture is at a much slower frame rate than under wintv in
windows.
c) I can't get sound when I tune into my video - the video player is
mono.
Do you have any ideas on sorting these problems out? At the moment I'm
just using the bttv suff that came with Red Hat 6.1, so I suppose I
could update them. I'll try that tonight.
Cheers for the howto compile a kernel, I might do that so I can get a
more upto date one, it doesn't look too hard now.

Check the difference between:
echo 'abc\ndef'
/bin/echo 'abc\ndef'
echo -e 'abc\ndef'
/bin/echo -e 'abc\ndef'
The man page describes /bin/echo, but why the bash builtin behaves
exactly opposite of /bin/echo is, to say it mildly, not logical.
$ echo abc\ndef
abc\ndef
$ /bin/echo abc\ndef
abc

$ echo -e abc\ndef

If I understand what they are correctly they are there waiting for you

Linux has come a long way not only in servers, but desktop/portable also.
I've used an ASL latptop for just short of a year now, and it's one of the
best IMO. Certainly not "cheap" as you say, but they used quality hardware
and there's the hassle aspect. Having done several installs myself on some
very "interesting" hardware, I appreciate and will pay for someone else to
ship me a system that worked *flawlessly* for me from the first boot. They
are also very prompt about service and my emails have been answered on the
same day basis. Right now, they are hassling with a vendor for me over the
original battery which failed to take a full recharge after a few boots.
I don't mean to bore everyone with this; just a reminder that, except with
the Evil Empire, you mostly get what you pay for. Horses for courses, etc.
I have no commercial relationship with ASL except as a happy customer.

I tried that on a System V Unix called SINIX. The mount command supported
an option called G=<file> and U=<file> where G pointed to a file that
translated the group id and U translated the user id. For example
103:107
in a file called GUID and a mount option like
mount -o G=GUID ...
translated the group id 103 on the remote system to
a local id 107.

Subject: GLib and multithreading
Date: Mon, 03 Apr 2000 11:51:13 -0400
I'm using the GTK+ library and multithreading (pthreads)
I found that the GLib has a function: g_thread_init(NULL) to make it
threadsafe
Does this mean that every GLib element is now threadsafe?
I am using the GSList from multiple threads, which I have now
synchronized with Mutexes.
When I use g_thread_init(NULL), does this mean I can do WITHOUT the
mutexes or not?
Is there anybody who has some experience with this??
Oh yeah: What do I have to do with some defines like:
- G_THREADS_ENABLED
- G_THREADS_IMPL_POSIX
etc.
Do I have to define these myself, or is this already done??
I use the GTK+ 1.2.7 and glibc2

Subject: Create batch file and send screen output to a file
Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2000 20:09:33 +1000
Hi,
I want to execute a number of linux commands from a batch file, and have the
screen output sent to a file. So...
How do I create a batch file (like in dos).
How do I then send the screen output from the programs which are run from
the batch file to another file.
Thanks for anyone who can help,
Dennis
