No real comment on the error, but shouldn't you be using flock() rather than
lock()? flock is for locking files, lock is for locking shared variables in
threads (unless of course you have a lock() subroutine defined somewhere, in
which case it overrides the CORE::lock).
See perldoc perlopentut for details (it's hard to say more without more
context).

Re: Packet rate limiter
Newp. You're stuck to good old bps with ipfw or bps/cpse (connections per second established) with pf. The other method would be to use cisco netflow export data from a router being polled - then limiting traffic with one of the methods mentioned above... or just place pps limits on your router itself.

This installed without error. If you ran make install clean then it should have installed the pkg info. However, now when I run pkg_info it reports that the pkg info for vim-gtk2 is corrupt. Hmmm... Could anyone help with 2 questions: ~ How do I fix the package database entry for vim? pkg_install should do the trick, but you already cleaned out the package build directory . make install for vim-gtk2 should do the trick now. OK thanks for this. I've fiddled around and it seems to be working alright now. Thanks for this. ~ What might have caused my machine to run out of swap? It was running X and twm with 1 xterm open. For hardware it has 256MB RAM and a 470MB swap partition. I've not had this problem before. Ouch.. you should actually have more swap than that (2*(Physical RAM amount) = 512MB swap would be a better idea in the future). As for running out of swap, what are your make options for ruby? Having the ruby doc (or whatever it was) option selected ate up a lot of memory on machines a few months back; having this option deselected and rebuilding ruby fixes the memory bloat. make config in the lang/ruby* ports directory will yield the desired result here. I take your point over the amount of swap - and I guess 256 RAM is getting a little light for a desktop/laptop these days. I don't recall portupgrade touching ruby - but I'll check what options I have enabled for it. -Garrett Thanks, Peter Harrison PLEASE NOTE: THE ABOVE MESSAGE WAS RECEIVED FROM THE INTERNET.

Trapping signal from shell script... doesn't seem to work?
Hi list!
I have written a Bourne shell script. This shell script invokes a
program written in the C language.
Below is basically the shell script source code. As you can see,
the C program is not invoked in the background, but in the
foreground, so the shell script doesn't finish until the C program
has finished.
I want the shell script to trap TERM or INT signals, so when any
of these are raised, the shell script will try to send SIGTERM to
the program myprog:
user1:/usr/home/user1$ ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep myprog
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
22406 p0 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh ../cronjobs/myshell.sh
22449 p0 I+ 0:00.00 /usr/home/user1/myprog -d
user1:/usr/home/user1$ kill -TERM 22406
user1:/usr/home/user1$ ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep myprog
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
22406 p0 S+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh ../cronjobs/myshell.sh
22449 p0 I+ 0:00.00 /usr/home/user1/myprog -d
I notice the change in state of the shell script process from I+
to S+, but nothing else happens. The shell script seems to remain
in execution. However as soons as I press Ctrl-C at the terminal
where I invoked the shell script, it indeed receives the Ctrl-C,
but myprog receives it first so when the function trap_handler
executes, there is no myprog process in memory.
My question: Can anybody tell me what happens and/or what am I
doing wrong? Why must I press Ctrl-C to force the shell script to
finally receive the TERM signal when I executed the kill command
from another session? What is this apparent delay due to?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all, We're deploying a couple of dedicated Freebsd 6.2 servers using Squid. I remember being at the BSDCan 2006 and Poul-Henning was talking about Varnish. Was wandering if anyone deployed it since no one talks about it on the list, and if it is worth installing it as a production cache server.

compiling error - /usr : filesystem full

Can't access service from other machines

apache+tomcat and helix server
Hi! I am experiencing something very strange, that I don't even know how to debug. We run apache+mod_ssl-1.3.34+2.8.25_2, jakarta-tomcat-5.0.30 and mod_jk-1.2.15,1 on FreeBSD 6.1-amd64, and it is really rock stable. Now, into this picture comes a helix server (aka Real server, real media server). Support for FreeBSD is rather poor, so we run an old binary, version 10.1.1.66 built for FreeBSD 5.x-x86 (SERVER_10_1_STABLE branch, https://helix-server.helixcommunity.org/2005/devdocs/builds) With it comes the problems. When the helix server is running, the apache-mod_jk-tomcat connection (tcp/ip on localhost using the AJP13 protocol, btw) gets into trouble, resulting in error 500 to the user fetching the web page. At first I thought the system was somehow exhausted of resources, but no other logs complain about that. The mod_jk log reports: [Mon Jan 08 15:12:43 2007] [error] ajp_service::jk_ajp_common.c (1758): Error connecting to tomcat.

mysql service restart
Hello all, I have a question. I am using mysql (Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.1.11-beta, for portbld-freebsd6.1 (i386) using 5.0) on a FBSD 6.2-RELEASE box. Today it got a bit of work to do and as a result the load was between 8-10 at peak times. I connect to mysql through socket. Mysql is mostly needed for exim where it serves to check authentication when people relay mail through it. When the load grew higher mysql service died (I saw this in paniclog): MYSQL connection failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) Now, I did not restart the service but it was automatically restarted (great but how come?!). However, my question is why would mysql die like that? Is that likely to happen? I took some measures to make sure the load does not grow too high but would appreciate your comments.

RE: newaliases not working?
I'm having trouble getting the periodic reports sent out on a daily basis from a FreeBSD 6.2 server. I've changed the /etc/aliases file so that root points to an administrative mail address. You can do that directly in /etc/periodic.conf: daily_output=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Nice to know this. However, I still would like to fix the issue with the /etc/aliases not being used to translate any mail sent to root to an alternate email address. If anyone knows a cure to this, I'd be grateful.

back the signal as it first traps the signals. You should try running the
script non-interactively from cron or nohup.

Hi list!
I have written a Bourne shell script. This shell script invokes a
program written in the C language.
Below is basically the shell script source code. As you can see,
the C program is not invoked in the background, but in the
foreground, so the shell script doesn't finish until the C program
has finished.
I want the shell script to trap TERM or INT signals, so when any
of these are raised, the shell script will try to send SIGTERM to
the program myprog:
user1:/usr/home/user1$ ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep myprog
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
22406 p0 I+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh ../cronjobs/myshell.sh
22449 p0 I+ 0:00.00 /usr/home/user1/myprog -d
user1:/usr/home/user1$ kill -TERM 22406
user1:/usr/home/user1$ ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep myprog
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
22406 p0 S+ 0:00.01 /bin/sh ../cronjobs/myshell.sh
22449 p0 I+ 0:00.00 /usr/home/user1/myprog -d
I notice the change in state of the shell script process from I+
to S+, but nothing else happens. The shell script seems to remain
in execution. However as soons as I press Ctrl-C at the terminal
where I invoked the shell script, it indeed receives the Ctrl-C,
but myprog receives it first so when the function trap_handler
executes, there is no myprog process in memory.
My question: Can anybody tell me what happens and/or what am I
doing wrong? Why must I press Ctrl-C to force the shell script to
finally receive the TERM signal when I executed the kill command
from another session? What is this apparent delay due to?
Thanks in advance.

Dual Core Or Dual CPU - What's the real difference in performance?

Server vendors
Hi, The organization I work for is looking to purchase hardware that will serve as a backup server running FreeBSD. We have purchased from IBM for many years, but we are looking at branching out and purchasing from a vendor which explicitly supports FreeBSD. I have been looking at http://www.freebsdsystems.com/ recently, and am wondering if anyone on this list has any experience with this vendor. If not, from whom do you recommend buying hardware for a FreeBSD server? We look for good service contracts (on-site hardware support available, for example) as well as reliable hardware. (Though this may not be necessary, we're looking at buying something that can handle the backup of greater than 20 and less than 40 servers, but remain under a budget of $5k. We think we'll need ~1TB of storage space. Needless to say, we don't need state-of-the-art hardware to accomplish this.)

installation causes panic
Hi, I've been trying to get FreeBSD 6.2 up and going on an AMD64 machine of mine, but have encountered a few problems. Most of the issues are minor annoyances, but I can't get around the last one for the life of me. Please let me know which bugs are known (I searched and couldn't find any of the following reported), and any help on the last issue would be most appreciated. Issue 1. During the installation, a menu asks which package group should be installed. If I use the arrows to select X-Kern-Developer then hit SPACE it immediately goes to the next screen. This seems to be a bug, the box should be selected but the installer should not progress to the next screen until the OK button is selected. As is, the behavior is inconsistent with every other menu in the installer. Issue 2. After hitting Issue 1, I decided to select a different package group so I hit Cancel. Somehow I wound up back at the beginning of the installer, which was fine. But when I re-started the install I never got the option of what package groups to install or whether or not I wanted the ports. In order to really restart I had to reboot the machine. Issue 3. After finishing the installation of selected ports, I get a menu that asks whether I would like to install other users/groups. When I hit ENTER after highlighting User, the installer crashed giving me the message panic: going nowhere without my init! then something about having no device to dump. Issue 4. After Issue 3, I normally would have copied down the exact text to send in a report. However, it seems to reboot automatically after 15s, while providing no means to stop the countdown. The auto- restart seems counter-productive. Why would I be in such a rush to restart the system after a failed install? Might as well leave the message so that bug reports can be reported with more information. Issue 5. After restarting the install, I successfully got through it the next time (I did essentially the same thing, which suggests that Issue 3 is intermittent at best). I installed KDE during the initial install, and setup KDM as per the handbook. However, when I log out of KDE the colors get messed up. It looks like some color table is getting corrupted so that certain colors are rendered as other colors. For example, it looks like what should be a sky blue is now rendered lime green. This happens every time I log out of KDE, every time I use the machine. If it matters, I'm using a GeForce 6200 card. Let me know what other details are needed.

Well, you could move /tmp to a bigger space. I think it is normally better to keep /tmp in its own partition. But, if you are running out of space and it is not reasonable to rebuild for now, then, if you have a large file system such as a /home or /scratch or whatever, make a directory there and move the /tmp stuff for now and make a symlink for it. Then, when you have the opportunity, rethink your partitioning and redo it.I tend to create my desktop with 512 MB /tmp and serious working systems sometimes with a little more. jerry Cheers, Noah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Intel's power system (at least at the hardware level) is pretty good about shutting down cores when not in use, and actually it's better power wise to get a dual core processor compared to a dual processor machine, since on a dual processor machine both processors are fired up at the same time. Besides, with dual cores it's a shorter path electrically core to core, compared to a processor. The only OS that actually performs better with a dual single core processor setup compared to a single dual core processor would be Mac OSX (believe it or not).

Re: /tmp getting full form portmanager
Jerry McAllister writes: /tmp is filling from portmanager is placing .db information and build details during its run. what options to I have to alleviate the troubles this creates? Well, you could move /tmp to a bigger space. I think the best practice would be to a) figure out why those files are left behind and b) remove them, either as part of a properly functioning portmanager session of with a separate script (perhaps from via cron). Then, when you have the opportunity, rethink your partitioning and redo it. I tend to create my desktop with 512 MB /tmp and serious working systems sometimes with a little more. May I ask what you're using /tmp for? While I could see systems which needed that, it seems a little excessive for a vanilla desktop. My FreeBSD desktop, well, see for yourself: huff@ df / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a495726 279388 17668061%/ /tmp is 44 _k_b, and only rarely breaks 200.

Nicole Dual core or Quad Core CPUs performance are far better compared to more socket CPUs since they get shared access to memory cache and reduce memory latency/probing over AMDs hypertransport bus. Anandtech did a pretty good review of AMD 4x4 system which compares 2 AMD dual cores with a single Intel Quad chip, where the Intel chip clearly outperforms consistantly because of this fact. Even when taking Intel out of the equation the benchmarks consistantly show even better performance with less sockets for AMD. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2879p=6 There appears to be no advantage to having seperate CPU socket systems what so ever. And yes the power usage is also bad, even though this example is a quad setup the fact still carriers over to Dual vs 2 socket CPUs. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2879p=13 Here we have a Quad AMD setup using a whopping 456watts over Intels Quad 263watt system. Thats a performance per watt difference of 73% if you even choose to see the AMD quad multisocket CPU performance as the same as Intels.

Re: Dual Core Or Dual CPU - What's the real difference in performance?
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Michael Vince [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: Nicole Harrington wrote: Using FreeBSD, what is really the difference, besides power and ability to shove in more memory, between having the two seperate CPUS's? Dual core or Quad Core CPUs performance are far better compared to more socket CPUs since they get shared access to memory cache and reduce memory latency/probing over AMDs hypertransport bus. Of course, it's not really that simple. For one thing, the intel quad core CPUS are two dual core chips in one package, and the two chips don't share internal resources - like cache. So any data in cache is only available to two of the four cpus; if the one of the other two cpus needs that data it'll have to go to the external bus. The AMD quad core package is similar - except they don't put the two chips in the same package, but provide a proprietary high-speed interconnect between them. Also, shared access to the memory cache means - well shared access to the memory cache and the memory behind it. Shared access raises the possibility of contention, which will slow things down. If all four CPUs get a cache miss for different data at the same time, one of them is in for a long wait. Yeah, this isn't very likely under most loads. How likely is it under yours? Generally, more processors means things will go faster until you run out of threads. However, if there's some shared resource that is the bottleneck for your load, and the resource doesn't support simultaneous access by all the cores, more cores can slow things down. Of course, it's not really that simple. Some shared resources can be managed so as to make things improve under most loads, even if they don't support simultaneous access. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
