cron to attach a gz file
Hello, I know I can use mail -s logfile /var/log/httpd_access.log in cron to email the content of a log file to a particular email address but how do I make that log file a binary attachment (*.gz)? Also, is it possible to actually transfer the log file by ftp using cron? If so, would anyone be willing to share how to set it up? Many thanks in advance!

C interpreters
Does anyone have a recommendation on C interpreters? I want to do some development in C, but I would also like to have the ability of playing with an interactive command line a-la python, as it eases the playing process of figuring out what I am doing. There are a few options in the ports tree and I'm wondering if anyone has played with them and has an oppinion. I've seen ccscrpt and cint, I also know root has a C interpereter (though I don't know how good it is, and it's for scientific numerical analysis, not generic programming). as a secondary (probably stupid) question: how hard is it to write a library in C++ and allow C programs to use it?

library in C++ and allow C programs to use it?
To write a library in C++ to which C programs have access, you'll have to
write a set of wrapper functions for every method of a class you want to
expose to C which basically get an object pointer as the first parameter and
the actual method arguments as the rest. For example:
test.cc
---
#include test.hh
#include test.h
Test::Test()
{
}
int Test::something(int data)
{
return 0;
}
extern C {
TestObject NewTest() {
return new Test();
}
int TestSomething(TestObject ob, int data) {
return reinterpret_castTest*(ob)-something(data);
}
}
test.hh
---
#ifndef TEST_HH
#define TEST_HH
class Test
{
Test();
int something(int data);
};
#endif // TEST_HH
test.h
--
#ifndef TEST_H
#define TEST_H
typedef void* TestObject;
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern C {
#endif /* __cplusplus */
TestObject NewTest();
int TestSomething(TestObject ob, int data);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif /* __cplusplus */
#endif /* TEST_H */
test.c
--
#include test.h
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
TestObject testob;
testob = NewTest();
TestSomething(testob,1);
}
This lets you use the compiled test.cc (for example, as a library, to get
around the problem of having to link your C-program against libstdc++)
together with a C program.
Be aware of the fact that C doesn't know function overloading, so you'll
basically have to implement that by defining different methods for every type
of overloaded function you want to accept.
Depending on how large the C++ framework is which you're trying to wrap (and
in how much it uses advanced C++ features), this is an easy (i.e.,
repetitive) or a hard/close to impossible task, especially when it comes to
templates.
YMMV.

ls sees disk but mount_ntfs doesn't
Hi, I'm trying to get some data off a laptop. The disk is buried inside somewhere so to avoid dismantling the laptop I am trying to mount it using a FreeBSD livefs cd (7.0RC1). Note all the commands and output below are typed up by hand but I think they are accurate. Fixit# ls -l /dev/ad0s2 crw-r- 1 root operator0, 94 Jan 31 13:39 /dev/ad0s2 Fixit# mount_ntfs -o ro /dev/ad0s2 /mnt mount_ntfs: /dev/ad0s2: No such file or director So I thought I would try using ntfs-3g which I would prefer anyway as it is probably safer. Fixit# pkg_add -r fusefs-ntfs Fetching ftp://[pathto]fusefs-ntfs.tbs...pkg_add: warning error writing to tar: Broken pipe Done. pkg_add: unable to open table of contents of file '+CONTENTS' - not a package? Fixit# Lastly dmesg shows: GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider ad0s2 is ntfs/HDD. So how can I mount the hard disk? Or can anyone suggest an alternative way to get the data other than dismantling the laptop? I've tried ping which is a linux based disk cloning livecd but it can't see network or a usb hard drive. As a secondary question, could ntfs-3g be included in the livefs CD? It seems like quite a useful utility to have.

Re: C interpreters
Thanks, and that'll make shared (.so) libraries just fine? Well, that was certainly a relief. That very much describes the C interface I made already. I'm working on a alternate ports listing system, and I wanted to use something that I didn't mind programming in /and/ I knew should be available on any FreeBSD system without requireing more port installs, so I went with C or C++. I want it to be easy to write back-end database modules, in case people don't want to use the two that I write (SQLite2 and a my own flat-file system). There are only three functions that need wrapped: open, query, close. Open returns that void* pointer, query and close take it as the first argument. Any ideas on the C interpreter? It's been a while since I've done a lot of C/C++.

Here's the problem: you've got an Intel i810 graphics chipset with a Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. If you look at the manpage i810(4) you will see that it isn't supported yet (or not as the port existed a few days ago) so X is falling back to VESA mode. Now from your log, it looks like you could get vesa mode going but it would be at 640x480 i.e: pretty unusable for X. It looks like it's working with Linux: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=6725 So what I suggest you do is wait patiently for the port to be updated...or What you could do is post your xorg.conf to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a description of your graphics hardware and ask them why it seems to work under Linux and not under FreeBSD. Or if it does work under FreeBSD, how to get it going. I'm cc'ing this to freebsd-x11. Perhaps you can reply back with your xorg.conf hopefully the good folks on that list can help you out.

The configs are at the end of this message. It almost
works, but the behaviour changes depending on the case
(uppercase/lowercase) of the phase2 value!
In both cases below (auth=PAP and auth=pap) the EAP-TTLS session
has been established. In one case, I get an ERROR because PAP is
unknown. In the other case (pap), FreeRADIUS cannot locate the
cleartext password (password). What am I missing? Is this an
issue with wpa_supplicant(8) itself? Has anyone gotten EAP-TTLS
to work with simple PAP inside the tunnel? About two years ago, I
had this working (using PAP inside the tunnel) but it was an early
version of wpa_supplicant(8) and probably FreeBSD 4.x or early 5.x

What would cause this ?? try changing SATA mode in BIOS (whatever it's called). i have to set RAID (while not actually defining any RAID sets) to make it working. you may think it is nonsense, and you are right, but BIOS isn't part of FreeBSD, and is written with windoze in mind, so don't expect any sense there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Hardware detection
That is usually what happens when the disk controller is one that FreeBSD does not have support for, so it treats the controller as a Generic ATA controller. Should normally work fine albeit with somewhat suboptimal performance. (And even though it says UDMA33 a SATA controller should still work at SATA150 speed, so the performance penalty should not be so severe.) in my case it was slow and unstable, up to 15 minutes between crashes. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

CVSup update or upgrade
Hello, I've been reading over my library of FreeBSD books, which I may add is impressive due to me buying EVERY book available on Freebsdmall and also buying the PowerPak to make sure my Library is complete, and also I've been reading the freebsd.org docs because I'm working on getting an upgrade to work properly. Here is what happened: I did as the website said and changed the cvsup example file which is the one I'm using, to a FreeBSD cvsup server, left most of it alone, because I wanted to use most packages, so I wanted basically every app available, and when rebooting, after doing this: # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot I booted in single user mode and tried this: # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot Now, this wouldn't work for some reason or another, but the system seemed to be doing just fine. I did uname -a and sure enough I had 6.3 Stable going. However, when typing kdm to load up that so I can use a gui, it no longer loads, at all, it pops up for a split second to just stop totally, and then gives me a message about the hostname. I thought it was odd, and XDM actually loads, but won't load X itself as it too goes out with errors about hostname. I don't have the exact message which I know is bad form on my part, but I decided to just try updating again as I was kind of wondering what RELEASE is like instead of stable. This is perfectly fine because the machine is NOT used as a server really, and is mainly for me to test out stuff and use FreeBSD more so I'm not worried about it breaking, or reinstalling the OS, it's no big deal, my reaqson for doing this the first time was mainly because pkg_add -r wouldn't work, I have 6.0 on the CDs I bought from the mall site, and I also have another 6.0 install disk as I bought a second copy, may seem odd but I like having more than one on CD (or in thie case 4 copies) but I like to help support the BSD people, so I do it. Anyway, does anyone have any idea? I'm using the web site for docs as my books seem to have different instructions all together which is odd but I also know that books coming up vs software coming out, you can't really keep books coming out at the same rate, so I decided to use the web docs for something like this to have more up to date info, so here it is since this message si looking rather sloppy: --I have install disks for FreeBSD 6.0 -- I don't mind reinstalling but would rather fix it and learn how -- I'm currently running an update again with cvsup as it says this is a better choice and option --I'm not a Unix wizard but I DO know enough to get around and dream of one day being a Unix hacker, that's a dream for now though, I came from using Windows and Linux, and still use both heh --IF I've borked up the system bad enough that a reinstall is the best option I really don't mind, I'd just like to know how to at least prevent this from happening again so I can stay up to date in FreeBSD I followed the instructions pretty much to the letter here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html The system has nothing really important on it yet as I set it up to learn more with so I can start using FreeBSD the way I do Linux, as a desktop to do my work and tests on. Thanks very much, and as I said, if I really screwed up or something, I can just reinstall. also, one more thing: Does anyone know how to make pkg_add -r package work again in a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.0? When I ran it after the install to grab something it said it didn't work and couldn't be found, and so I decided to investigate and found the reason to be the host it looks up is no longer there, so I just went to Freebsd.org and looked and found the server was renamed since 6.0 was released, and so I just updated everything for it to work better. Also, one last question: I've been looking on FreeBSD.org but I don't fnid anything about this, but when did FreeBSD go from .tgz files to .tbz? I'm just wondering what happened as I thought it was atypo at first and realized every one of my books said .tbz and so did my screen heh. Any info on that would be neat too :) Thanks VERY much! -Allen ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Display / Screen resolution question on IBM TP 1171
After 2 days of persistent trying and no answer from this mailing list, I actually figured out a way myself! So I'll share it here in case someone else has the same problem. The problem is that xorg.conf generated by X -configure actually makes the laptop's pointing device(trackball) stop working. So I eliminate the line Option Device /dev/sysmouse from xorg.conf, then there is no more problem with the trackball. Then I can just add the line Modes 1024x768 to xorg.conf beneath every line of Depth... Now the screen problem is solved! Next problem: it has no sound. It seems like no sound card is detected at all. Any help is appreciated. --aghv Never miss a thing.

guys,
i need some help from any of you who is current with php5.
in '05 i wrote myown hit counter in php4 using the . operator
to write statements like:
$dir=countdir/; $filename= $file;
if (! (file_exists( ( $dir.$filename) )))
{
// the if fopen cannot open, echo Error and exit(1)
}
this did work. with php5, however, i'm getting a divivde by
zero error on both lines. thebest thing, or easiest, would be
to compilr php4. but i'd like to know some better ways.
anybody clue me in?
thanks in advance,

Of course, your mileage may vary. -- Best regards, Chris The lines are all busy (busied out, that is -- why let them in to begin with?). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: C interpreters

That very much describes the C interface I made already. I'm working on a alternate ports listing system, and I wanted to use something that I didn't mind programming in /and/ I knew should be available on any FreeBSD system without requireing more port installs, so I went with C or C++. I want it to be easy to write back-end database modules, in case people don't want to use the two that I write (SQLite2 and a my own flat-file system). There are only three functions that need wrapped: open, query, close. Open returns that void* pointer, query and close take it as the first argument. Any ideas on the C interpreter? It's been a while since I've done a lot of C/C++. hi jim, the bestt one i know of is free, named ch. cost only $25 for the whole deal. used mostly by the hardware sectoor so far. i'd like to see it be adopted by the open ource folks too.i haven't used it much so far becuse my C progras are mostly for myself and 1000 lines. v. small company, forget the name. gary Thanks, -Jim Stapleton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: CVSup update or upgrade

Here is what happened: I did as the website said and changed the cvsup example file which is the one I'm using, to a FreeBSD cvsup server, left most of it alone, because I wanted to use most packages, so I wanted basically every app available, and when rebooting, after doing this: # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel # reboot Assuming you went from 6.3-RELEASE to 6.3-STABLE and also assuming you do not have customization in /etc - here's what I do... After a cvsup of the src tree (ensuring I want the STABLE branch (*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_6) # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC (Assuming you use GENERIC) # make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC (Assuming you use GENERIC) # shutdown -r now (no need for Single-User Mode if YOU are the only user) Sorry but you're giving wrong advice here. *Always* drop to single user mode. You are almost never the only user on your machine when you're in multiuser mode. There will at least be root an your user account and probably others. # cd /usr/src # make installworld # shutdown -r now NOTE: I don't use mergemaster unless I go from say 6.3 to 7.0 *Always* use mergemaster. Default configuration is constantly changing slightly. It never happened to me that mergemaster had nothing to and I upgrade somewhat regularly. Not running mergemaster will sooner or later result in a broken system. It can be argued whether `mergemaster -p` has to be run everytime but just run it, it will never hurt you. I really recommend following the handbook step by step for this task unless you know exactly what you're doing. I booted in single user mode and tried this: # mergemaster -p # make installworld # mergemaster # reboot Now, this wouldn't work for some reason or another, but the system seemed to be doing just fine. I did uname -a and sure enough I had 6.3 Stable going. However, when typing kdm to load up that so I can use a gui, it no longer loads, at all, it pops up for a split second to just stop totally, and then gives me a message about the hostname. See above for your RELENG Tag I thought it was odd, and XDM actually loads, but won't load X itself as it too goes out with errors about hostname. You may need to update your ports tree and your installed packages since you went to STABLE I don't have the exact message which I know is bad form on my part, but I decided to just try updating again as I was kind of wondering what RELEASE is like instead of stable. STABLE is the security fix branch. *snip* Someone else may follow up the rest with you. Best regards, Jona -- I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms.

RE: SATA question
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Darryl Hoar Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 6:59 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: SATA question Well, maybe I spoke to soon. While looking at dmesg in prep for doing a custom kernel for my new server, I noticed an oddity. ad4 - DMA limited to UDMA33, device found non-ata66 cable. ad4 - SAMSUN HE160HJ JF800-24 Is this telling me the system recognized my 160GB 7.2K RPM Serial ATA 3Gbps 3.5-in Cabled Hard Drive as a UDMA33 ? No doubt, a pciconf followed by insertion of the ID into the ata detection routines would help - assuming your sata chipset is supported. You don't have the entire dmesg here but it looks like it's using the generic driver.

Re: slightly OT. php5 breaks my hit-count....
Hi Gary,
I just tested this exact code on php 5.2.5 and I didn't receive any error.
For further help with this you are welcome to email me privately as this
is more of a php code problem :)
Gary Kline wrote:
guys,
i need some help from any of you who is current with php5.
in '05 i wrote myown hit counter in php4 using the . operator
to write statements like:
$dir=countdir/; $filename= $file;
if (! (file_exists( ( $dir.$filename) )))
{
// the if fopen cannot open, echo Error and exit(1)
}
this did work. with php5, however, i'm getting a divivde by
zero error on both lines. thebest thing, or easiest, would be
to compilr php4. but i'd like to know some better ways.
anybody clue me in?
thanks in advance,
