Wrong. Sure it works on UNIX with the right software. The real question is

Maybe you are trying to run something that is not in the PATH under cron.
Either specify the PATH you need or use full paths for all programs and
files. Although, some programs might rely the PATH for related programs.
Have you read 'man 5 crontab'?

Subject: request help - configuring use of ISP proxy server
Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2000 11:53:23 +0930
Hi people of the world,
My ISP uses a proxy server which drives me mad. Nothing in Linux will
work properly unless that particular application is configured to use
the proxy server (stalls, etc)
Is there any way to set up global options for all apps to use the proxy
server? Some people have suggested setting the ftp_proxy and http_proxy
variable to the proxy address, but this does not seems to work (I have
tried 'export' and 'set') - I may be doing something wrong.
Ten points to anyone who can work this out, because it has been driving
me mad since I started using Linux over a year ago..
Regards,
Ian McLeod

That's what I'd do, but with Win2K on the first partition you'd need
something like Partition Magic. Resize the Win98 partition to make
room, then move it to the end of the disk. Move the Win2k partition
to fit in behind the Win98, and then create the boot partition.
One problem with your layout is that Win98 will have all sorts of stuff
identified as C: on it, and if Win2K tries to access any of that it'll
get confused since C: isn't renamable. So it's better to have the Win98
partition first, followed by the Win2k (since Win2K is willing to boot
from D:)

I'm installing Red Hat Linux 6.1 and selecting Genome in the install.
Once the system is running Genome doesn't come up (as expected). If I
type startx (after logging in) I get the following error message.
execve failed for /etx/X11/X (errno 2)

Your Linux CD should have disk images for rescue-floppies on it, or if
you got it from the net, the website would have those images. There
is also a DOS utility (rawrite) to write the floppy. Make a rescue
disk and boot from it. At the prompt enter the name of the kernel
(typically ``linux'') followed by ``root=/dev/hdb1''. Replace hdb1
with whatever disk/partition you used to install the Linux root
partition on. Then run lilo.

Hi all,
Excuse my ignorance but I am a complete newbie to Linux. Anyway after
completing the
set-up regime for Redhat 6.2 and installing a GUI (KDE) I find that when a
"window" is open it doesn't "paint" the open window properly. Enough fuzz
that it doesn't enable me to see all the icons. I have a Banshee 16MB(copy)
video card and a KTX monitor. Is this a problem with the refresh rate of
video card?
ANY help appreciated

I turned on all scsi support, emulation, etc. I run RH Linux 6.1 kernel

master. And right now, my cdrom doesn't work in linux and my cd-burner

and it says, can't detect scsi driver. And plus I read the HOW-TO doc

Any other ideas??

Date: Sat, 12 Aug 2000 11:13:34 +0530
hello friends !
here is a problem-
on one of my systems i tried installing kudzu using RPM.but it failed saying
it needs dependency modules like ---
libnewt.so.0.50 and
libpopt.so.0
===================================
so i installed the kudzu forcefully using --nodeps option.
than i issued the command --
depmod -a
and then rebooted the system .i used the "grep" command to find out that
kudzu has been installed in /usr/sbin/ directory.
so i tried running kudzu from there but again got the error "error in
loading shared libraries : libnew.so.0.50 : cannot open shared object file "
.
i think it means that it couldn't load the above mentioned module during
bootup process whereas it was able to find the other module named "lib.so.0"
now how can i load this module ?? where can i find it ??
pl. reply immediately .

Isn't it the"Professional" version supposted to be for work? I'm pretty
sure no employers would like their employees playing games during work
hours. ;-)
Beside. People can still install the games if they wanted to. Just
don't install them by default as dependency.

I did some additional investigation and found a solution to my problem,
but I don't feel terribly comfortable with it. As a result, I have
some followup questions which maybe some kind soul could help me
with. See included post below. Anyway, here's what I did...
First, I checked
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html
which has updated significantly from the last time I looked at it (over a
year and a half ago, when I installed linux for the first time!). They
mention problems with modprobe and ppp-compress-21. I still don't
quite follow what these entities are. Anyway, they suggest putting
aliases in the /etc/conf.modules file, which map this and 24 and 26 to
other modules, like the BSD compression and ppp-deflate. This is
basically what Naren suggested to me.
Then, when loading up my ppp and slhc modules, I just have to load up the
aforementioned bsd_comp and ppp_deflate modules as well. And voila, I
have ppp.
But, this just seems weird to me, having gotten by just fine for the past
year without having to do any of this. I like keeping the ppp stuff as
modules, and I don't know why I have to now include more modules just to
dial in. Has anyone else had to do this?
I also notice that whereas before, ifconfig would tell me that my ppp
connection was
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
now, under my new kernel, it tells me
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
I don't know what NOARP MULTICAST means, or if it matters (I doubt it). I
am curious, though.
And lastly, I notice that when depmod runs during bootup of the new
kernel, for some bizarre reason, it recreates the modules.dep file in
/lib/modules and gives it a last-modification time that is *7 hours*
earlier than the current actual time. I note that I live in Calif., which
is currently 7 hours behind GMT. But my machine is set to PDT. I don't get
this error with depmod if I run it interactively, I only get it during the
boot. Again, has anyone else noticed anything like this?
Thanks again to those who replied. I look forward to any clarifications
anyone can provide. I leave the original post below for reference, as I
did not post this originally to comp.os.linux.questions.

this by setting up a cron job to ping a server every minute.
Is there any other way to fix this?
