Subject: Ping Timeout?
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 01:37:05 GMT
Ok, I'm really puzzled here. Is there a simple flag to add onto the
Linux (specifically, RH 6.0) to make it timeout after a given amount
of time? What I really want to do is run it with, say, '-c 3' and
time out on each one if there is no response after 2 seconds. It
does time out on its own if you don't specify a number of packets,
but then it keeps on running (which I don't want, because I'm writing
it into a script).
Even the windoze ping program has a timout flag which is why I'm really
hoping that there is one for Linux.
TIA,
Bill

Functionally equivalent is certainly possible - even if your assembly
is just a script interpreter with the script builtin. But I would go
one step further and say that it ought to be possibly to write an
algorithmically-identical (or algorithmically-very-similar) program.
Situations that the compiler couldn't handle might have to be handled
explicitly, but I don't think it would be too big of a problem.
Incidentally, if a C++ compiler couldn't compile the example given to
demonstrate "why not all C++ programs can be compiled to finite
assembly code" (although some that can't could be run as a script), it
is a problem with the compiler design rather than any logical
impossibility.
eg
==== begin ====
template <class t> func(T x, int i)
{
if( i > 0 ) func(&x, i - 1);
}
main()
{
int i;
func(i, 10);
}
===== end ====
This ought to be compilable, as it is algorithmically identical to the
following C program:
func2(void *x, int i)
{
if(i > 0) func2((void *)&x, i - 1);
func1(int x, int i)
{
if( i > 0 ) func2((void *)&x, i - 1);
}
main()
{
int i;
func1(i, 10);
}
==== end ====
The key is that func2 handles all the cases where 'x' is a pointer
sufficiently. As it never dereferences a pointer, and int * and an int
****** can be treated the same way.

Is the default route set??
You may also install a cacheing DNS server on your box and point your resolver
to 127.0.0.1 (localhost). It will lookup inet sites without using your ISP
DNS servers. You may find it is faster browsing that way for sites yuo use a
lot because your DNS server already has the info and need not go to the net to
resolve the ip.

Date: 19 Aug 1999 02:09:47 GMT
When I start up pcmcia services using the ISA PC-card adapter that's given with
the Aviator2.4, sometimes it will work perfectly (on rare occasions), but
sometimes it crashes the machine with a stack trace and the only thing I can
see is this:
lots of stuff like [<c0107b75>] etc., and then:
Code: 89 50 04 b8 01 00 00 00 eb 03 90 31 c0 c7 41 04 00 00 00 00
Aiee, killing interrupt handler
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
And then the machine freezes, can't type, can't do anything, not even
ctrl-alt-delete, have to use the reset button.
Anyone had this problem before?

This may not be the issue, but here goes. From my personal experience with
10/100 autosensing hubs, if one computer is running at 10mbit and another at
100mbit, the computers may not see each other. This problem usually shows up
in the cheap small autosensors.
So, to test this, set both computers to 10Mbit, your cable modem is already at
10mbit by design. This may work. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about
Solaris to tell you how to control the speed on the card.
