RE: Can a Bourn Shell Script put itself in the background?
From: owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questi...@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Martin McCormick I tried bg $$ but $$ is the current process invoked just as $! is the process of a backgrounded process started by that shell. So, can I make a shell script background itself after starting? Right now, I remind my coworkers to append the after the script name. the bg command expects a job number, not a process ID. Martin, If you mean you'd like to be able to put a script that is already running into the background, then you could press CTRL-Z to suspend the process. Then running 'jobs' will list the job id. Then 'bg jobnumber' (probably 1) should put it into the background.

The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 2950III, running two instances of FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p5 - amd64 over an ESXi hipervisor. To both were allocated 4 processors and 4 GB of RAM, and dmesg for both are identical. I'm using clockspeed to synchronize the clock, but just one of them is delaying the clock a lot. The hardware clock is ok as far as the other virtual machine. Where should I start to investigate? Marcelo, I've not used the ESXi hypervisor, but do use ESX 3.5 with FreeBSD, and the only way I've sucessfully kept FreeBSD servers in time, is to use either ntpdate or ntpd.

You could try something like: echo Name:Surname:10 | ( IFS=: ; read name surname age ; echo $surname) Thanks for the reply. Your statement prints the Surname but the variable $surname disappear after that and not available for further processing. I'm referring to two sources for this: 1. Learning the bash shell, 2nd Edition. O'Reilly publishers Where on page 170, under read section The basic syntax is: read var1 var2... This statement takes a line from the standard input and breaks it down into words delimited by any of the characters in the value of the environment variable IFS. The words are assigned to variables var1, var2, etc. 2. http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/29202-perl-lik e-split-function-bash.html It looks like it works for others but here on FreeBSD 7.0, bash 3.2.33(0)-release, I find it difficult to get this syntax to work. Unga: The variables in the read command are only available in the same shell process as the read command. In my example, that would be the commands within the () brackets, as the () cause a subshell to be spawned. In the most common situation, a read command is going to be part of a shell script, so the variables will be available within the script. Most often, a read command is going to read from standard input, so you'll have something like: - myscript.sh -- #!/usr/local/bin/bash IFS=: while read var1 var2 var3; do echo The values are $var1, $var2 and $var3 done - myscript.sh -- Then call the script: echo apple:orange:banana | ./myscript.sh Or, maybe use the values from a file. ./myscript.sh mylist.txt where mylist.txt contains one or more lines -- mylist.txt -- apple:banana:orange aea:coffee:milk green:blue:red -- mylist.txt -- - Barry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've had no problem installing the tools via the ports on 7.0 release on ESX server 3.0.1. Get the latest freebsd.iso image from Vmware Server. And use this in the CD for the VM.

RE: home dir executable (!/bin/sh, chmod+x) shell scripts won't run without sh script
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Franks Sent: 07 January 2008 15:53 I keep reading about making sh scripts executable with #!/bin/sh on the first line and chmod to executable. That works with all my system scripts (rc, etc.) or my system would be DOA, no doubt. When I do it in my home folder, however, running script gives command not found. I've only read about 5 sites telling you how to make shell scripts executable, they all say the same thing, and they all don't work. How did I get to be so special? [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steve, How are you running the commands? The problem is probably to do with your path. Your home directory isn't typically and shouldn't be in your PATH (try echo $PATH). You need to specify the full path to your scripts or place a ./ in front of the script name if in the same directory. e.g. ./myscript.sh or /home/username/myscript.sh - Barry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Apache port OPTIONs support
All, Recently, the apache port changed as per the note in /usr/ports/UPDATING below. I used to build apache with the proxy modules: make WITH_PROXY_MODULES=yes install I've now tried: make WITHOUT_APACHE_OPTIONS=YES WITH_PROXY_MODULES=yes install This builds the proxy modules, but leaves out at least SSL modules, so I'm assuming there is a preferred way to specify specific options, but can't figure out how. Thanks for any help, Barry - From the /usr/ports/UPDATING file - By popular request, OPTIONS support has been added. When enabled (default), these knobs are ignored: * WITH_CATEGORY_MODULES * WITHOUT_CATEGORY_MODULES * WITH_CUSTOM_CATEGORY * WITH_MODULES * WITHOUT_MODULES * WITH_STATIC_MODULES However, you can disable OPTIONS by defining WITHOUT_APACHE_OPTIONS.

I'm making changes to my network which will require using my own
DHCP server.
It's all set up ready to go, but I can't find any way of getting it to
start on boot up.
There's nothing that I can find in /etc/defaults/rc.conf or

no startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d
I've used this DHCP server before (have recently been using a
different one
on the network) so I know it can work, but just can't find any way of
starting it automatically.

*** Well it looks like your script is being run - what should your script

Heck, it's so simple I can list it here:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while ($inputline = STDIN)
{
$inputline =~ s/18 Dec 2002/29 Dec 2013/;
print STDOUT $inputline;

The s/// stuff is just to give me some proof that the script saw the

I assumed that writing to STDOUT would somehow get the message delivered,
but maybe not. But if that's not the way to get it delivered,
what is? The
How do you expect sendmail to know which user to deliver to?
By altering the aliases file, you have said to sendmail:
Don't deliver to localuser 'mymail',
Instead deliver to the script 'perlfilter'
If you don't need your script to modify the data that get's sent,
then you could just add another recipient in the aliases file:
mymail: | perlfilter, myusername
If you want to modify the message before sending it elsewhere,
you could do something like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail -bm;
$MYADDRESS=me\@mydomain.com;
open(SENDMAIL, | $SENDMAIL $MYADDRESS) or die Can't open $SENDMAIL;
while ($inputline = STDIN)
{
$inputline =~ s/18 Dec 2002/29 Dec 2013/;
print SENDMAIL $inputline;
}
close(SENDMAIL);
sendmail manual is not at all clear on this. I looked in sendmail.cf for
the name of some program to which perhaps I should pipe STDOUT in the
aliases file, but couldn't find anything. When the aliases file does not
specify piping of messages to some special program, who normally delivers
them?

it? ***
To my mailbox. I want the script to see incoming messages just
before they
get deposited in my mailbox on the server. From what I can understand of
how this works, some program actually receives the messages from sendmail
(?) and deposits them in my /usr/home/$USER mailbox, which appears to be
just a simple text file (I can't find any reference giving the format of
that, either).
It's running as root on my system. I thought it _had_ to run as root (?);
doesn't it have to access mailboxes that have only 600 access or
something?
Older versions ran as root - current recommended setup is not to run as
root.
But that's another issue.
