How would you do that? It is something to measure, not to define. Except
for a few real-time operating systems, I know of none that permit
convenient control over the amount of memory, CPU-time, or IO-time a
process will get. You might be able to use ulimit -c to control the
maximum memory allowed, nice to control the amount of CPU resources you
get (but that is not as simple a matter as asking for 70%), and I do not
know how to control the IO-rates. But you should not need to do that.
What you need is to identify the bottleneck and then decide if it is
worth the trouble to fix it. Do you need more separate or faster hard
drives? A separate controller for each hard drive? A faster CPU? More or
faster memory? You must measure the resources presently consumed. vmstat
would probably be the best tool to use to find out.

I did not optimize anything much. I did tell DB2 to optimize the queries
as much as possible for that job, and to optimize its use of CPUs; I can
tell it to use only one, or use 2, or to use as many as it wishes. For
that one I tried it both ways and using both CPUs was best. Most jobs
run better with only one CPU, probably because the coordination of the
two takes more cpu time that it can save by using more computer power.

Mighty little compared with the amount available. The question, which
you are about to ask, how often it is swapping. My machine with twice as
much memory always ends up with some swap used because a lot of
processes are "running" that seldom get used, such as my mgetty's. I use
only one or two of those, so when the system wants memory, it pages the
other ones out in preference to reducing the buffer or cache space. My
machine goes for hours without any paging activity.

If the periods of heavy load are predictable, or if you can run a
test-job to exercize the machine, you could just let the vmstat run in
an x-term and run the rest in another window.

Is this better? I started a test job running DB2. db2sysc is the generic
name of a bunch of DB2 server processes. The top two are running most of
the work. It is still not swapping.

Hi all,
I am writing a program to do some tasks that need root

Here is the program, 123.pl
=======================================
#!/usr/bin/suidperl -w
$ENV{'PATH'}="/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin";
print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
$temp1=`cat /etc/shadow`;
$temp2=`/bin/ps`;
`nohup "start_my_server_program"`
print "$temp1,$temp2"
=========================================
Q1: Why when I run the perl with "perl 123.pl", it always show:
Insecure $ENV{BASH_ENV} while running setuid at ./123.pl line 7.
Q2: The problem in Q1 does not happy in using as CGI call from web.
But I can only got the output from "$temp1", no output from
"$temp2".
Why can't I use "ps" in this script.
Q3. When I run my program with "nohup", it seems that it can't run at
all, why ? I can start my server program in command mode with nohup.
quite a long question, but it stuck me for a 3 days to play with it.
Any help would be very appreciated~

I never looked for where, but where do you mean? In an x-term? Or
"everywhere else"?
In an x-term, click the Preferences and set it in there and it should
remain.
For GNOME/Enlightenment, GNOME->Settings->Theme selector and just set
it.
You might want to do GNOME->Settings->Save Current Session, or check the
Save Current Setup when you log out. I do not recall if that is
necessary.

Hmm. That doesn't sound scientific to me.
Now Goedel's theorems are interesting. They indicate that in any "system" (consisting
of axioms and rules for proviing theorems) either one of the following is the case:
1. There will be some statements that cannot be proved or disproved, or
2. Two contradictory statements can be proved true.
God created a universe in which we live. He exists outside of what we observe with our
5 senses and cannot be proved or disproved using the scaffolding of assumptions and
theories we have developed based upon the very limited observations we have made
thus far regarding the universe.

See the entry for the error message "Insecure $ENV{%s} while running
%s" in perldiag.

Probably because the web server didn't define BASH_ENV in the CGI
script's environment.

Dunno.

There's little point using nohup when the program is already running
without a controlling terminal.
BTW: don't use backticks in a void context. For reason see FAQ
"What's wrong with using backticks in a void context?"
It would probably be enlightening to take a look in the HTTP server's
error log.

I don't see the logical problem. In the first place, RH are perfectly
capable of doing anything wrong (particularly if it relates to
networked multiuser setups, as their main market is single-user
workstations working over a ppp line and a modem). In the second place
I am not aware that either the new kernel or the old kernel or the
new RH or the old RH know anything at all about NFS v3, or if they
do, if there are clients to match the server end. I thought nfsv3
was still a kernel patch, along with acls and other irixy gizmos.
At last rumour, I didn't hear there were any v3 servers for linux -
though I think there might be v3 clients. (no, these are not facts - go
check for yourself if you want those. I am merely stating what I
do and do not know for certain).
> you saying that RH shipped an NFS client with 7.0 that was OLDER than the

What do you mean by "older"? If you are talking about the report from
mount (which is not an error message, nor really of much interest), I
imagine mount is merely comparing dates - I would be surprised if it
knew about kernel versions, but anything is possible. What cersion of
mount do you have? I have 2.5m and it's always complaining to me about
kernels from 2.2.17 on upwards.
> on the client box. I assume this package includes the NFS client.)
And I too assume many things ... but I am certain that I'm not going to
be using either RH or nfs v3 in the near future :-). I'm happy shooting
down lockd wherever I find it.

I created two new paritions using Windows NT4, before my last linux partition.
Restarted my
computer and nothing happened with my /etc/fstab. Linux didn't start correct,
because it could not find /dev/home on the right partition. This is the reason
I think it is not linux that does change the /etc/fstab.

Under unix, every process (besides "init") is started by its "parent"
process. When a program ends, it returns a status value.
If the parent is still alive, then it's the parent's responsibility to
accept the status value (because it might care whether the status is
"successful" or "not successful" or something else). Until the parent
accepts the value or the parent terminates, the completed process is a
"zombie".
If (or when) the parent terminates, the responsibility for taking care of
the status value is inherited by "init", which should immediately accept
the value.
So:
* Zombie processes do not take up any resources except for their entries
in the process table. Unless there's a huge number of them, there's no
need for concern.
* Zombies go away when their parents die.
* Zombies are not created if parents wait for returned status values.

Thought some versions of windows have a glitch, .... update your dhcp server
to fix this problem (or update your windows-client :)
