Whatever it is that is writing the messages is putting out 'terminal control' character strings that specify the color. Where does one find what the various colors are supposed to signify? Read the _complete_ documentation for 'whatever it is' that is producing the messages. The colors signify 'whatever it is' that the author of that software chose to represent with that color. There are *NO* universal standards for such things. Or, is it just because it's more appealing? (A) appealing is in the eye of the beholder. (B) *why* 'somebody' did something/anything is known *only* to the party that actually _did_ it. You can ether ask *them* or get uninformed speculation from third parties.

A developer -might- use different colors for different 'classes' of messages, so that an experienced user of that program (who 'knows' what color is used for what) can tell 'at a glance' the serverity of the thing being reported.

Logrotate
Hi all,
Not sure if there is a better list to ask this, so here goes.
I use logrotate to rotate the apache log files within each domains log
directory. They are in the home directory as such:
/home/domain1.com/logs/access_log
/home/domain2.com/logs/access_log
/home/domain3.com/logs/access_log
...
In the home directory, I also have symlinks that point to specific domain
directories, example
cd /home
domain1.ca - domain1.com
domain1.net - domain1.com
domain1.org - domain1.com
someothername.com - domain1.com
...
All this have beein said, when I use logrotate, it rotates the logs within
the directories that have sym links pointing to them over and over again. In
the case of domain1.com, the log would be rotated 5 times.
I am using a logrotate.conf container that looks like so:
# more logrotate.conf
...
/home/*/logs/access_log {
missingok
rotate 14
daily
create 644 root
}
...
So, obviously because I am using a wildcard within the container logrotate
is going through the symlinks and rotating the logs over and over.
Is there a way or method to ignore the symlinks (or a workaround) that
anyone knows of, other than making a logrotate.conf container for each
individal directory.
Thanks all,
-Grant

Use something other than logrotate? Three possibilities: * rotatelogs This is a utility that comes with Apache. To use it, you need to modify your apache config to change the logging directives. Instead of (eg.) CustomLog /var/log/httpd-access.log common You'ld use: CustomLog |/usr/local/sbin/rotatelogs \ /var/log/httpd-access.log 86400 common which will generate a new log file every day at midnight, labelled by the date as the standard seconds-since-the-epoch unit time. (Other time formats can be applied) * cronolog -- in ports as sysutils/cronolog This is rotatelogs on steroids -- it lets you use strftime(3) format codes to build the path and/or filename the logfile is saved as, so you could have a scheme giving paths like: /var/logs/apache22/2011/01/23/virtual-host-name/access_log [One advantage of rotatelogs or cronolog for busy sites -- you get log file rotation without any requirement to restart apache at all. One disadvantage: neither of these programs *delete* over-aged log files. You'll need to write a very small cron job to do that bit.] * newsyslog -- part of the base system. You can use wildcards to match a range of different file names. If you rotate the logs based on age or size, it /should/ only do one cycle per invocation. (Not tested -- so may be completely bogus). Something like: /home/*/logs/access_log 644 14 * 24 GJ /var/run/httpd.pid 30 added to /etc/newsyslog.conf should get you log files rotated once every 24h with two weeks worth kept on hand. Otherwise, you could rearrange your directory structure to give you a unique path distinguishable by globbing. So, instead of having: /home/domain1.com as the real directory and sym-linking domain1.net - domain1.com domain1.org - domain1.com Make the directory be: /home/_domain1/ and create symlinks: domain1.com - _domain1 domain1.net - _domain1 domain1.org - _domain1 Then you can wildcard as '/home/_*/logs/access_log' [Note '_' was chosen because that character is specifically disallowed in host / domain names: it's guaranteed not to accidentally collide] Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matt...@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
ATI Radeon 4350 Problem
Hi FreeBSD people all over the world, I've installed FreeBSD 8.1 on a system which has ATI Radeon 4350 (I tried both 32bit and 64bit architectures, in both situations the problem persists). After enabling HALD and DBUS my system runs X Window System (GNOME, ...) very well without any problem or instability. But when I exit the X Window System to the TCSH (e.g. through the SystemLogout in GNOME), my system suddenly reboots when I try to get into the X Window System again. During a single bootup, my system can start the X Window System only once and just reboots (not a proper reboot/one of these sudden without-saving-anything/without-syncing-disks boots). As the system runs (that single time) X Window System properly without any problems I do not think there is a driver problem. What should I do? I think it needs one of these compile-your-kernel-again-with-this-little-option tricks!!!

missing uwacom.ko
On a fresh install of FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE, on a ThinkPad x60 tablet, there is an input-wacom package already installed. Unfortunately, it lacks probably the most important part of the package: the uwacom driver: # /usr/local/rc.d/wacom start Starting wacom. kldload: can't load /boot/modules/uwacom.ko: No such file or directory I brought up this same problem a few months ago on this list, but ultimately got no resolution, and set it aside for a while. It was not very critical at the time. I have more use for the laptop now, though, so I decided to try installing it from scratch again, and the exact same problem has arisen. There is simply no .ko file on the system for Wacom drivers at all. It occurred to me to try reinstalling the input-wacom package from ports, but unfortunately the port is identified as broken. Has anyone else gotten the uwacom.ko driver on their systems? If so, how? Are you using 8.1-RELEASE or something else? Is there a work-around for this problem? Google, thus far, has proven useless to me on this subject. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpqU6Gcfhtbf.pgp Description: PGP signature

I don't want to be stuck using Windows to manage this machine though. What are my options for managing this machine and the VM's from my FreeBSD laptop? I've enable ssh access, but can I control all the VM's this way? Is there a command line or X-Windows option for remotely management? Any tips or suggestions gratefully receivied! TIA.

I think sh MAKEDEV would be the correct call. From MAKEDEV(8): DESCRIPTION The MAKEDEV script was deprecated by devfs(5) and removed from FreeBSD after devfs(5) became mandatory. Basically, it can't work because the meaning of major and minor numbers has changed. You could try to add a line like linkcuad0 cuaa0 to /etc/devfs.conf and then # /etc/rc.d/devfs restart That would be the wrong solution. Programs that come in source can be modified, and in this case the program provides for alternative device names. but I may be possible that the program you're intending to use does require the conventional serial driver ...

TV test image generator using mencoder
For an amateur TV (ham) project, I'm searching for a convenient way to create a test image DVD or CD using FreeBSD's port mencoder. But I can't get this working. Maybe somebody on list has an idea of how to accomplish this. Input: a still image (jpg, gif, png) of a test picture, as shown on TV, already available Output: a VCD-compatible MPEG video file which shows the picture (which does not change) and plays a 1 kHz testing sound (sine wave); the length of video should be given in minutes More: a DVD-compatible output could be provided for better quality if needed The idea is this: With a set of, let's say 5 of such MPEG files, each lasting 10 minutes, I want to burn a VCD because that's what the player in use can play best. If it plays the in repeat mode, every 10 minutes the test image will change, the sound will stay the same. The VCD can be done with mkvcdfs, I've already done that for other purposes, works good. As this player is a stand-alone device, there's no trouble getting a TV (video or even antenna) signal out of a PC. :-) Background: The test VCD can be played in continuous loop while the transmitter is running. This way, receiving tests can be done, as there is a good testing signal for making statements about video and audio quality. The combination of both, also using something standar- dized (instead of a camera input, showing the town from above or a look out of the window across the street) is buch better for making QUALIFIED statements about signal quality. Adjustments to the equipment can be done more easily. I've tried to do this with mencoder, but can't get any usable results. How would you suggest to get this done? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
