 there is a method in freebsd for  restart process whenever it terminates ? I
 use in linux respawn in inittab...

One possibility that comes to mind is using daemontools [0]. Should be
in ports but there are probably easier ways to achieve this.

Hi Bob

Bob Willcox [Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 07:41:52AM -0500]:
 I posted this same question on freebsd-scsi a few days ago but got no
 response there so I thought I try here.
 

Can't really answer your question but I've found the Areca support to be
very responsive and helpful. Just fill out the form on 
http://www.areca.com.tw/support/ask_a_question.htm. They usually answer
within a few hours.

hope to help,
Dominik

Re: FreeBSD, Ubuntu and Win XP on one system

 GRUB menu. It's not difficult, but it does add an extra step. Also, be
 sure to keep a backup of your modified GRUB config---it seems that
 each time Ubuntu decides it needs to perform a significant update, it
 replaces the GRUB config with the default, making FreeBSD once again
 inaccessible. There is probably a way to prevent this, but I never got
 around to investigating it.

Just for the records: The way to prevent this is very simple. Just
add custom entries to menu.lst outside of the section marked by the
following lines:

### BEGIN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified
## by the debian update-grub script except for the default options below

### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST

(never mind the mentionning of Debian, this has been copied from a
 Ubuntu machine)

BTX halted on boot

2008-07-30 Thread Dominik Meister
Hi

We are experiencing a problem with one of our FreBSD 6.2 machines. The
machine has been running fine for months until we had to reboot it. Now
it doesn't boot anymore. After the boot loader we get what looks like a
register dump:

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)heap
boot: /boot/kernel/kernel\
int=000e  err=0002  efl=00010086  eip=c042426a
eax=c06da7a8  ebx=c06da7a0  ecx=  edx=f000ff53
esi=  edi=c06da57f  ebp=c08f6d4c  esp=c08f6d40

   75 3b 42 c0 a0 a7 6d c0-7f a5 6d c0 20 a5 6d c0
BTX halted

and the machine reboots.

Any suggestions what might be the problem? All I can find about BTX
halted references to problems when installing a fresh system and not
out of a sudden on machine which has been running fine before.

Any hints are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dominik

Re: ssh - connect to directory outside of /user/home - permission denied

Turner Litigation Services [Fri, May 30, 2008 at 06:28:26PM -0700]:
 
 ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/data/pub/ gives permission denied errors.
 

According to the unison manual the syntax in the configuration would be:
root = ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]//path/to/file

If you just want to copy some files, you could also use scp:
scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/path/to/file .
