Depending on your input data, I'd say the same command: groff -Tascii normal.txt formatted.txt. But you need to test this yourself with your input text format. See man nroff for details. For using roff macros, man 7 mdoc has a nice summary. im only asking what cmd should i use to format an ascii text to be identical to that one, centered and aligned.. Depending on what your actual text input is (no markup, plain ASCII text), this _should_ work: groff -Tascii normal.txt formatted.txt But _you_ need to try yourself and _maybe_ adjust your input accordingly. Also consider using the fmt program as it has been suggested for document preparation. I do not believe there is one. It seems to me there were some DOS amusement programs that would do this, and you might find one and run it in dosbox. I know that Context Pro can do this. Also WordStar or TP are able to apply margins and align text to justify (solid column). There is very little demand for fully justified monospaced text because it is extremely ugly, hard to read, and error prone. Nonetheless, OpenOffice appears able to do this and so can MS-Word. I suspect many others can without the necessity of writing your own macro. There may be modules in perl and other scripting languages that might be helpful. It's even possible to search the web for a simple LaTeX enclosing and put it into that, but then we leave the domain of ASCII text in the output. -- 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

Many open branches = excess FreeBSD project work?
We talk about release dates and always slippage and effect on downstream in other thread. But maybe some causes and even just related efficiency thing is: FreeBSD officially maintaining right now [1]: - G HEAD - G RELENG_9 - S RELENG_9_0 - G RELENG_8 - S RELENG_8_3 - S RELENG_8_2 - S RELENG_8_1 - G RELENG_7 - S RELENG_7_4 Woah!?!? Seem a lot of [G]eneral dev and [S]ecurity branches open at once. It seem crazy, and much extra work for whole FreeBSD project. Maybe some ways out there to reduce number of open trees/work? And enhance quality of releases or something in result. Suggest maybe making just two rolling RELENG (features, stable). Features be good for adopters and fine polishing post dev teams. Stable be amazing good production quality all downstream want. Then short live security/bug (only maintain till next from branch) releases from both (these be the formal releases). Focus be on quality level and first row left to right movement (timing) of feature sets. Second row past Xs1 be just closed snaps in time. HEAD - Features -- Stable +- Fs1 x Fs2 x Fs3 +- Ss1 x Ss2 x Ss3 Similar to: Do a horizontal collapse two below rows into formal branches... 2.2.x, 4.x, 8.x = good (stable) other branch.x = intermediate, not maintain worthy (features) Today FreeBSD think it have to maintain nine trains (aka: rly, wtf)? I say with some focus tuning tomorrow it does not :) And just document another project ways (not make any imply from it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7pkyDUX5uM [1] http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html ___ 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

Reinstall all the ports on your system? Since you've lost

It's unlikely to be completely accurate, and the system will

Only that's going to eradicate anything in /usr/local that a)
one wants/uses and b) wasn't put there by ports. (Tell me you don't
have a handful of scripts which have been working happily away since
you wrote them in the early Devonian. :-)
A less drastic path would be to wipe out /usr/local/{lib,
libexec}, /compat/linux, and whatever directory has port-installed
docs.
Check /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/etc (especially rc.d/), and
/usr/local/share; many files there are named for their ports. Grep
bin/ for anything whose first line is #! /bin/sh, and figure out
where it came from.
_Now_ start with major prograns you know were installed -
on my system that would be emacs, FireFox, Java, LibreOffice,
ImageMagick, and mplayer - and get out your copy of very long

hwpstate0 set frequency err 6
Hi FreeBSD - This is the fourth time I have installed FreeBSD while learning the in's and out's. I have a new mainboard this time (ASUS M5A97 EVO + AMD FX 8120.) I have set up dual booting because of a few legacy apps. When the boot of OS gets to the login prompt I begin to get the error message 'hwpstate0 set frequency err 6' During installation my super-workstation started to run as though it were getting the absolutely maximum stress test. The fans on my new Corsair H80 started to whine as well. The 'stress test' effect starts the three next times I have booted so I am not booting into FreeBSD at the moment. Any advice?

Make sure you can run something like memtest86 or prime95 overnight without errors I don't know about 300+ queries per second, but I have been running MySQL since version 3.x.x, and so on, without much difficulty. It has been very stable for me for many years. Hardware related problems can be a cause of general flakiness one person can see while many, many others do not experience. Can be things such as old, weak, under rated power supply that has poor regulation and excessive ripple under load. This can actually resemble RAM problems at times, because with things like memtest there will be failures. It can be other things as well, such as a disk controller running a driver that has a bug. Rather than ramble through myriad possibilities, a general rule I've noticed over many years of dealing with computers: Hardware is often involved when the problem is very random, while when you can reproduce a specific error condition repeatedly by executing a set of commands or instructions in particular and specific order it is software related. I also question why you would want to run such an old version. Particularly I am aware that versions 5.0.50 and 5.0.51 contain several serious bugs. I run the latest version of the 5.1.xx branch, with an eye to moving towards 5.5.xx very soon. I have always compiled from the ports system. I have also tuned my.cnf according to the examples and the documentation recommendations. One of the first things you should look at is what about the compilation process on your machine is producing your flaky, crashy binaries. Using a GCC from ports?, CLANG?, remove any so-called 'optimizations' from your make.conf, etc. In the make config for building MySQL do _not_ select the 'build optimized binaries' choice (which sets -O3 optimization) and see if that makes a difference. I have used the -O3 in my builds for many years and never had a problem. Circle outwards in looking at OS tuning. An example would be vmstat -i, looking for a piece of hardware with a run away interrupt storm. Other things like IPC, SYSVSHM, Semaphores, and other such structure pools looking for resource starvation. If hardware proves not to be central to the problem, see if you can arrange a way to _not_ load it so heavily. If it runs at a lower load without crashing it might indicate you need some tuning. I would look at the hardware very hard. I would look at how you are building the compilation. I would also _not_ use this version, but rather at least 5.1.x and preferably (especially if this is a new start up) look at trying the latest in the 5.5.xx series. The 5.5.xx is supposed to offer better performance, and maybe with your 300+ per second query rate maybe you should focus on the version with the best performance. Bottom line: Many thousands of people and companies have run MySQL for many years and had it work just fine.

It's likely to lead to a lot of files being orphaned, which may lead to build or runtime errors in the future, or vulnerabilities that portaudit can't detect. ___ 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

Re: Newbie question: Why aren't my cron jobs running?

Vixie cron does care about leading spaces, tabs, extra spaces, or leading zeros. Earlier versions of cron are much pickier about the crontab file. The cron logs show that it is starting his jobs at the correct times. It is far more likely that there is a problem with the scripts. A very common cause of problems with scripts run from cron is that they do not inherit your environment. Do the scripts run from the command line? If the do, then the problem is most likely something in your environment that the scripts need. I'm a complete idiot, and I feel embarrassed. Everything was fine, except that I had missed out '/bin' in the paths of the jobs. I had: /home/walterh/exports.sh /home/walterh/backup_etc.sh /home/walterh/systemcheck.sh /home/walterh/backup_bsd.sh which should of course have been: /home/walterh/bin/exports.sh /home/walterh/bin/backup_etc.sh /home/walterh/bin/systemcheck.sh /home/walterh/bin/backup_bsd.sh What a stupid mistake! Thanks for all the replies, but I must say sorry for wasting your time. Sorry! WH ...
