I don't think Newport News is a media organisation, rather a ship building

Subject: Re: "Exact" time measuring under linux
Pentium processors have a register which counts clock cycles. It's
resolution is as good as the clock. It has no built in mechanism to be
latched by external events, so software has to read the register.
Unfortunately, since Linux is a multitasking system with considerable
system processor useage you can't access the register except when Linux
turns the processor over to the user programs. That happens at a rate
no faster than that determined by the system tick rate. "Real Time
Linux" allows better control over when user state programs will run, but
still doesn't give 100% control. Alternate approaches include:
Use hardware timers with latches so the program doesn't have to see
events in real time at all. For many applications this is a simple
approach. It costs money for hardware but often less than the money
spent on software if your time is worth more than $.02/hour.
Don't run a multitasking system. DOS is not a multitasking system and
works well for some simple applications. You can run an application
program with 100% processor usage. Of course it won't do anything else
at the same time.
Use a "Real Time" OS which allows user level interrupts to take priority
over system operation. That can work very well for some applications
but can get very complicated if you have multiple real time tasks to
perform.

To everyone:
Thanks for your replies. I sent an email to Caldera's support line and I got
this back -
Summary: Getting Linux to recognize 2nd SCSI card
SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
At 09/22/2000 08:23 AM we wrote - Unfortunately the Adaptec 2930 is
not listed as supported hardware by OpenLinux 2.3
(http://www.calderasystems.com/support/hardware/2.3/hardware-scsi.html).
The current modules written for other adaptec cards (the aic7xx) may
not work with the 2930 SCSI controller. You may want to try
removing the first controller and leaving the 2930 in to see if the
aic7xx module will load and work for it. If it fails at boot up try
loading it from the commandline with the modprobe command (if you
can get into your system without the other controller):
modprobe aic7xx
Another problem that could be happening is using the same module for
two devices. Sometimes this will work flawlessly with linux, other
times, depending on the cards, it can cause confusion and one or
both of the cards will not function correctly. Please let me know
what you are able to do and find out.

Hi,
I'm curious if it's possible to redirect all chat/pppd/kernel ppp
messeges into single log file. According to syslog and ppp docs this:
daemon.* /var/log/ppp
daemon.none /var/log/messeges
is supposed to work. And it does but, not quite... It only redirects
pppd messeges and not the chat and kernel messeges. To my knowledge
it's not that easy but, hmm - is it possible?
One more thing: omitting -v is not considered to be a solution ;).

Perhaps you forgot to load those modules? (usually also implies that

ones? Since you don't give us a step by step list of what you did, we
can't tell. What you needed to do was:
make clean
make oldconfig
make bzImage
make modules
make modules-install
(scuffle off with your kernel to some place, edit lilo.conf, run lilo).
boot in single user runlevel and depmod -a (just in case not done for you)
continue at your normal runlevel
load the required modules using modprobe and try again.

Are you sure ipmasqadm and kernel 2.2 are ok together ?
I ask you that question because CUSeeMe, that does not work, is used with
ipmasqadm
And I know that ipfwadm does not work with kernel 2.2, may be the same with
ipmasqadm ?

Pan0.8.1beta5, even though devel, is pertty dammn stable, I might add. And
has a lot of nifty features not included in 0.8.0. I highly recommend

The best way is don't. As others have mentioned, use
the gettimeofday() function. Just be aware that while
struct timeval has a variable named tv_usec which is
labeled as "microseconds", the actual granularity may
be greater than 1 microsecond. But since your request
was for 1 millisecond resolution, that is apparently
not a problem.

Hi,
Any help on this would be great.
I've got this script I run on my SuSe 6.4 server. At the moment it
requires user input - but I want to make it interactive so I can run it
via cron. The last action is to send an email with two attachments - a
CSV file and a plain text file. At the moment I am using this command
pine [EMAIL PROTECTED] -attachlist file.csv file.txt
Which takes me into to pine and composes an empty message to the
address given with the two files as attachments. I have to manually add
a subject, message body and send it. pine has a -I flag to include
keystrokes - but it seems to ignore the control codes for sending the
mail.
Of course I could do something like
cat file.csv file.txt | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but I don't want them in the body, I want them as attachments.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks

The stuff that has to be compiled directly in is surprisingly short:
ext2 filesystem support, support for the main hard drive you're using
(IDE or SCSI...), and ELF binary support. You can build almost
everything else as a module. Also, 2.2.11 is pretty old; the latest
stable version is 2.2.17.

If the mouse protocol isn't set correctly, you will have a hard time
getting all the buttons to work. If the desktop uses an MS
Intellimouse, you may have better luck changing the Protocol line in
XF86Config to "IMPS/2" instead of "PS/2". (run Xconfigurator if you're
not sure, and try out several different protocols, choosing the one that
works best.)

Subject: A couple of silly problems
Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 11:06:42 -0500
I'm having two problems that I know of. Any clues about either would be
appreciated.
The first one, with ethereal-0.8.7, reared its ugly head several days
ago. I just decided I must have done something wrong and moved along. I
reviewed the man page this morning and decided I didn't have a personal
problem, so I removed it (rpm -e -vv ethereal), downloaded the latest
rpm and installed it ( [root@localhost rj]# rpm -Uvh
ethereal-0.8.12-1.i386.rpm). Same symptom, which is: Nothing is
displayed in the main window while a capture is in progress. I
absolutely know this worked at one time. I'm executing the program after
doing a su to root. ([root@localhost rj]# /usr/sbin/ethereal -i ppp0 -k
-t a & ) which should say "use ppp0, start capture, use absolute time.
In addition to nothing being displayed, clicking on the menu bar does
nothing. After I stop the capture, the data is displayed and the menu
bar again functions.
The other known problem is with xv version 3.10a. This worked correctly
as recently as yesterday but is sick today. Its symptoms: If I try to
capture a screen or portion thereof, 'autograb' works fine but if I
simply try 'grab', I get only the first beep and neither the left nor
middle mouse button will capture a window or area, respectively. The 2nd
beep, signalling that the capture is complete, never happens.
I have done several things to this computer since the time that I'm
certain ethereal worked but the only thing other than normal use that
has happened since xv worked right was a tape backup started by cron at
3:17 this morning, was in progress when I got up and finished a few
minutes into my 2nd cup of coffee.
I'm running RH6.0 with a 2.2.16 kernel on a homegrown ATX with AMD K6-2
400MHz 64MB with IDE hard drives (Win95 on hda, Linux on hdc, CD on
hdd), HP DAT drive and HP scanner on an Adaptec 2940 and, of course, a

Any ideas?
