Precisely what you need to do depends on who your phone company is.  It
is frequently done by sending e-mail to an SMS gateway.  There are
various ports designed to enable scripting of sending SMS-es to
particular providers -- see comms/p5-SMS-Send-*

If you have a GSM modem or mobile,  there are about 4 or 5 ports you
could choose from.  Just do a 'make search name=sms' in /usr/ports.

No idea about leaving a voice message -- doing voice synthesis is pretty
well covered, but making a computer dial a phone and speak into it?

Re: Sending alarms to my mobile phone

Hi,

 Precisely what you need to do depends on who your phone company is.  It
 is frequently done by sending e-mail to an SMS gateway.  There are
 various ports designed to enable scripting of sending SMS-es to
 particular providers -- see comms/p5-SMS-Send-*

I have to check if my phone comapny provides that service. It seems
they have a web plateform though.

But Murphy's law being in the middle, that's precisely when my system
will try to send me an alarm message that the SMS email gateway or the
SMS web gateway of the phone company will be down.

 No idea about leaving a voice message -- doing voice synthesis is pretty
 well covered, but making a computer dial a phone and speak into it?

Yes, but that would be the fun part of it, wouldn't it?

Thanks,

olivier

Concerning voice messages, in the past (around 1995) I experimented with
'vgetty' which was fine to build a UNIX based answering machine.
Google for it, it seems it is still maintained.

portmaster can! See portmaster manpage. -P[P] options.

The differences are that portupgrade use a database, it's written in
ruby while portmaster is only one shell script. That's why I really
prefere portmaster that also have zsh completion and is faster.

Re: Squid not starting from rc in Jail, however works when run from root as command??

Hi guys,

I've just built a new BSD server running on a Mini-ITX NAS chassis and 
it's working beautifully :-)


I also took the time to learn how to build jails too as this is only 
my second BSD build so am still really new to it although not to UNIX 
as I use Solaris and Linux frequently.


Anyhow I'm trying to migrate config which was on an old SPARC server 
running Solaris 9 with a version of Squid got from the Blastwave repos 
and currently I'm having major issues with it.


Basically I think I've worked through to figure out that running as 
user Squid or Proxy doesn't give me access to ports 1024, basically 
the 'well known' ports.


Here is the error message I get from Squid when trying to start it 
using the rc.d file:

get this and Squid works:

Because I built the system in a Jail I am using this syntax to bind 
the port to the IP address:

When I mean Jail I am talking about FreeBDS Jails and not chroot

Automatic shutdown with devd.

2010-06-01 Thread David DEMELIER
Hi,

I recently asked to make an automatic shutdown when I excess a
specific percent. I ran devd with -Dd flags to run in background and
when the battery was at a critical state it said :

Processing event '!system=ACPI subsystem=CMBAT type=\_SB_.BAT0 notify=0x80'
Pushing table
setting system=ACPI
setting subsystem=CMBAT
setting type=\_SB_.BAT0
setting notify=0x80

Then I tried (for testing) something like this in my /etc/devd.conf

notify 10 {
match system  ACPI;
match subsystem   CMBAT;
match notify  0x80;
action logger LETGOSHUTDOWN;
};

And then I can see the following output in /var/log/messages :

Jun  1 10:48:54 Melon power_profile: changed to 'performance'
Jun  1 10:48:56 Melon root: LETGOSHUTDOWN
Jun  1 10:49:12 Melon root: LETGOSHUTDOWN
Jun  1 10:51:06 Melon last message repeated 2 times

It works, but the problem is that it makes this even the cable is
plugged ! i.e : the computer was not powered on so with 3% of
remaining time but AC plugged in after booting it (always with the AC
plugged in) these messages appears too. I guess the ACPI/CMBAT do not
care if there is an AC plugged in or not.

Is there a way to make this conditional to do only if the laptop is
not charging, AC plugged in ?

With king regards.

Re: cron not sending emails

2010-06-01 Thread Laszlo Nagy


It doesn't work. With, or without the MAILTO.  Just for completeness, 
I have used this:


MAILTO=gandalf

The gandalf user is a local user on the system. I can send local 
mail to this user using the sendmail postfix program (checked twice).
  

Cron is still not sending emails. Any idea?



Yes, check the log of cron (/var/log/cron) if you job is run at all; if
so check the log of mails (/var/log/maillog).
  
Cron jobs are started. Just their output are not sent in emails. The 
output of the maillog I already sent before:


May 14 10:53:00 server postfix/sendmail[2958]: fatal: user(1001): No recipient 
addresses found in message header



Btw: what is the purpose of putting TEST into ?
  
I tend to use double quotes for command line parameters. This is just a 
habit that I use it even when it is not really necessary.



Output from /var/log/cron follows




Jun  1 04:55:00 shopzeus /usr/sbin/cron[89378]: (tmp.27734) ORPHAN (no

IP-Based Apache Config

2010-06-01 Thread Peter Cornelius
Hi there,

I could need a quick hand from someone with apache22 and maybe apache-in-a-jail 
experience.

I want to set up locally apache22 on a given IP (it's in a jail here) and use 
files for name service. nsswitch.conf does this per default so files take 
precedence -- if resolution worked that way which I currently am not that much 
sure about anymore.

I set Servername to IP:80 just as to resolv-conf-hostname:80 after reading 
another post [1] and some more of the apache dox [2] (but left the rest of the 
config alone for the time being). A also do see the connection via tcpdump both 
at the router connected to the jail as well as the jail server itself as much 
as I see the connections in netstat both in and outside the jail.

However, I do NOT see ANYthing in any apache logs, and tcpdump confirms that 
all that is established is the TCP connection. Also, when I telnet IP 80 and 
GET /, it goes into the server, and all remains quiet thereafter.

I think I probably overlook something utterly obvious and simple but since I 
don't have any straws from logs to cling to, I currently don't seem to be able 
to get my head around it. Hence, any help appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter.

uname -r and patchlevel

2010-06-01 Thread n dhert
Can somebody explain about the -plevel one sees in the output of the
uname -r ?
Under  *exactly* what conditions the patch level changes to a new value
after you applied a freebsd-update install ?

Does -plevel only change if
 a) a change of the file /boot/kernel/kernel was part of the update
or also if
 b) *some* /boot/kernel/* files (but not /boot/kernel/kernel itself)
changed as part of the update
Will in any case a new -plevel  be shown only after a reboot is done ?

I have confusing differences in -plevel increase/not increase in different
FreeBSD systems after applying freebsd-update install.
The handbook is too vague about what conditions *exactly* will make uname
-r  show the newest -plevel.

I have had several ports fail because I had openssl installed via the
ports system. These were on FreeBSD-8/amd64 systems. I filed two PRs and
they were fixed. I might suggest that you do the same here.

It does seem rather strange that considering the number of ports that
require openssl, there was not more testing done to confirm that the
ports version was compatible with ports requiring openssl.

 Under  *exactly* what conditions the patch level changes to a new value
 after you applied a freebsd-update install ?
   

If you are using the GENERIC kernel AND the kernel was updated as part
of the freebsd-update process, the patch level is changed. You will need
to reboot.
If you are using the GENERIC kernel AND the kernel was not updated as
part of the freebsd-update process, the patch level reported is unchanged
if you are using a CUSTOM kernel, the reported patch level is not
changed until you rebuild your kernel with the new sources as updated by
freebsd-update. After rebuilding your kernel it always reflects the
latest -p version, even if there were no actual kernel changes.

The reported -p level is contained in this file:

/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh

and this is always updated when an update comes through. If you rebuild
your custom kernel (or even GENERIC) it will always report the value
from this file.

Re: cron not sending emails

2010-06-01 Thread APseudoUtopia
2010/5/28 Laszlo Nagy gand...@shopzeus.com:
 Hi All!

 After upgrading to 8.0 RELEASE, I'm not getting any emails from cron.

 If I put this into root's crontab

 * * * * * echo TEST

 then I see this in the maillog:

 May 14 10:53:00 server postfix/sendmail[2958]: fatal: user(1001): No
 recipient addresses found in message header



Just as a side note, I started having this problem a while ago with
7.2-RELEASE, I believe. I was using the base-system sendmail and no
special configuration with cron or anything.

I never found a solution. I posted on this mailing list and nothing
anyone suggested solved it. I ended up just piping every single cron
command into /usr/bin/mail:

0  */4  *  *  *  root  /usr/local/backups/daily_backup.sh |
/usr/bin/mail -E -s Daily Backup em...@address.tld

That works fine.

Add watermark to PDF

2010-06-01 Thread John Almberg
I've just spent a couple hours googling for an answer to this question 
without success... This is probably a bit off topic, but this list seems 
to be able to come up with answers to questions that stump other lists, 
so...


I would like to add a customized footer (a stamp or watermark) to an 
existing PDF, like the guys at Pragmatic Programmers do with their PDFs.


So basically this script would have to read in the PDF and (ideally) a 
plain text file, and output a PDF with the plain text merged into the 
PDF as a footer.


Anyone know of an existing utility that might do something like this?

Probably not, so anyone know of a PDF library that I could use to roll 
my own? I'm competent in Perl, PHP, and Ruby, and at this point, would 
be willing to learn Sanskrit if it could solve this problem for me. 
Unfortunatley, I've never done any PDF programming, so not quite sure 
where to start.


Any ideas, much appreciated.

 Hi guys,

 I've just built a new BSD server running on a Mini-ITX NAS chassis and
 it's working beautifully :-)

 I also took the time to learn how to build jails too as this is only

 as I use Solaris and Linux frequently.

 Anyhow I'm trying to migrate config which was on an old SPARC server
 running Solaris 9 with a version of Squid got from the Blastwave repos
 and currently I'm having major issues with it.

 Basically I think I've worked through to figure out that running as
 user Squid or Proxy doesn't give me access to ports 1024, basically
 the 'well known' ports.

 Here is the error message I get from Squid when trying to start it
 using the rc.d file:

 If however I start Squid using /usr/local/sbin/squid -NCd1 as root I
 get this and Squid works:

 Subject: tcpdump filter maximum number?

 Hi,

 Is there any limit on writing filters on tcpdump? Or is there any? I
 use FreeBSD as the operating system. Maybe this limit is not on
 tcpdump but on bpf on FreeBSD that is why I have stated FreeBSD

 There are _always_ limits to anything.  grin

 If nothing else, your filters are going to be limited by the number of
 open file descriptors.

 Not terribly helpful, I know, but if you explain more/better what you're
 trying to do, something more helpful may emerge.

You can check the new state with 'sysctl -n hw.acpi.battery.state'.

See /sys/dev/acpica/acpi_cmbat.c for the gory details.

Yes, ACAD and CMBAT are independent subsystems, so rather than an inline

Your script can check whether the AC power is on with:

AC=`sysctl -n hw.acpi.acline`
if [ $AC = 1 ]; then
exit 0  # or whatever, when on AC power
elif [ $AC = 0 ]; then
:   # do whatever when on battery   
else
:   # AC/Battery state unknown ..
fi

You could try just logging all state changes for a while; from critical 
charging to charging to high to discharging to critical discharging, I 
think that's the lot .. you can also check hw.acpi.battery.life etc.

However, your system should do an 'emergency suspend' on critical low 
battery anyway .. usually set at 1% capacity but some BIOS will let you 
adjust that (see acpiconf -i0).  Only if suspend/resume works of course.

I use portmanager with the '-p' flag for when I absolutely, positively

I've had this behavior also with Intel Pro 1000 cards using the em

if it was a driver problem or faulty hardware.  I went back to FreeNAS

 Concerning voice messages, in the past (around 1995) I experimented with

Actually vgetty is in FreeBSD ports: it is part of comms/mgetty+sendfax

Precisely what you need to do depends on who your phone company is.  It
is frequently done by sending e-mail to an SMS gateway.  There are
various ports designed to enable scripting of sending SMS-es to
particular providers -- see comms/p5-SMS-Send-*

If you have a GSM modem or mobile,  there are about 4 or 5 ports you
could choose from.  Just do a 'make search name=sms' in /usr/ports.

No idea about leaving a voice message -- doing voice synthesis is pretty
well covered, but making a computer dial a phone and speak into it?

Hi all,

I use gsmsmsd from ports and a wavecom GSM modem on a 
serial port for my embedded monitor systems...
It works very well, with a bit of SNMP / .sh / awk scripting.
It can also work with a number of mobile phones that have a serial link.
Typical send / receive rate is 1 message / 7 seconds due to cell
negotiation for each message being sent.

Or I go full power on main servers and use kannel from ports and a 
Telco SMPP service.
Send / receive rates are 30 messages / second

 No it does not. My display has 96 DPI and it is 12-15 years old and
 35 Kg.


thabks!  it may be that this guy is too used to the DOG/Lose 
program-loader.   he did show me my www.thought.org page on
an LCD display, and my time or time-roman fonts did not
render very well using XP.  or whatever.
