dump restore

1998-07-01 Thread Mario Olimpio de Menezes
Hi, I'm trying to learn how dump and restore utilities work and I'm having not much success. I could do a dump of a filesystem using the line dump 0udf 61000 /dev/nst0 /tmp2, where 61000 is the density of my tape. If I do only this, I can restore /tmp2 without problems.

Quake 2 ref_soft problems

Is anacron right for me?

1998-07-01 Thread servis
Hi all, I am wondering if anacron is the right package for me? My primary concern is the proper execution of the /etc/cron.*/ scripts. My system is typically up for 2 or 3 days and then shutdown for maybe 12-24 hrs and then up for 2 or 3 day, etc. It appears that anacron only checks and runs

Anacron does a more fuzzy time check. It does not give precision of has it been one hour. It will insure that cron.{daily,weekly,monthly} are run though. For you, I do not see the gain of anacron UNLESS your machine is never on at the same times. Normal cron only runs at say 1am, where anacron

Anacron is called by cron. So yes it does get called periodically. I used it on my home system when I ran a dual-boot. Sometimes I was in Linux for several days, other times it was only an hour here or there. Nowadays I use cron because I have a 24-7 uptime. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
