Re: bash prompt update lagging
On 16/11/09 Polytropon said:
Your PS1 seems to include ${SHORT_PWD}, a variable. It seems

Yeah, looks like it. Works on linux though...
By the way, this is bash-3.2.25 on FreeBSD/x86 7.
bash-4.0.33_2 on x86 6.3.
Is this what you've intended the prompt to look like?
I'm using an awk script to truncate any pwd that's too long.
get_short_pwd()
{
# The actual max length is max_len + the length of trunc_symbol
local max_length=$1
local trunc_symbol=...
if [ -z $max_length ]; then
max_length=20
fi
if [ $PWD != $OLDPWD ]; then
SHORT_PWD=$(awk BEGIN {
path = ENVIRON[\PWD\]
home = ENVIRON[\HOME\]
home_len = length(home)
max_len = $max_length
sym_len = length(\$trunc_symbol\)
if(substr(path, 0, home_len) == home) {
path = sprintf(\~%s\, substr(path, home_len + 1))
}
path_len = length(path)
if (path_len max_len) {
path = sprintf(\%s%s\, \$trunc_symbol\, substr(path,
path_len + sym_len - max_len + 1))
}
print path
})
OLDPWD=${PWD}
fi
}
This is called via a build_prompt() function in my .bashrc. I guess I'll echo
out some variables there and see what's happening.
FTR this did work, and then I updated bash in ports.

bash prompt update lagging
Hi,
I use the same bash config on Linux, FreeBSD and Cygwin, for the most part,
and I just noticed that on my FreeBSD system the prompt is updating one
command too late.
r...@kanga:/root$ pwd
/home/msoulier
r...@kanga:~$ cd /root
r...@kanga:~$ pwd
/root
r...@kanga:/root$
As you can see, the prompt with my current location doesn't update until the
command _following_ my directory change.
r...@kanga:/root$ echo $PS1
\[\033[1;32m\]\[\033[0;36m\]\u\[\033[1;32...@\[\033[0;36m\]\h\[\033[1;32m\]:\[\033[0;37m\]${SHORT_PWD}\[\033[1;32m\]$\[\033[0;37m\]
I'm wondering if this is a bash bug on bsd, or if I'm doing something wrong.
Has anyone seen this?
Thanks,
Mike

showing dependency information in ports

bash suddenly doesn't like $() syntax
Hello, I'm running the shells/bash port on 6.3, and I recently ran a portupgrade.

debugging cronjobs not running

I know some jobs aren't running because they produce files as output and I'm not seeing them. That, or they're simply running unsuccessfully. One thing I noticed is that man 5 crontab seems to make no mention of the user field used in /etc/crontab, but that's likely just a documentation error.

alternatives to mergemaster
The downside of mergemaster is that it is only a 2-way merge, where a 3-way would know better than you prompt you for changes that you didn't make. This makes mergemaster far more tedious than it has to be. Has anyone considered a good 3-way merge tool? I'm using Git for development, and it's also tremendously good at merging.

Just replace the time/day/month variables with @reboot and the path to the exicutable. I use it for a couple of things that don't have start scripts. See man(5) crontab for examples. Hmm. Thanks. Good to know, that could do as a workaround for now.

I've opened a bug report for now. Maybe I'll have something to append to it soon.

where are /usr/local/etc/rc.d init scripts run from?
I was looking in /etc/rc, and it's obvious to see where the /etc/rc.d
scripts are run from.
skip=-s nostart
[ `/sbin/sysctl -n security.jail.jailed` -eq 1 ] skip=$skip -s nojail
files=`rcorder ${skip} /etc/rc.d/* 2/dev/null`
for _rc_elem in ${files}; do
run_rc_script ${_rc_elem} ${_boot}
done
So rcorder is run over /etc/rc.d/*.
When is the same done for /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*?
Thanks,
Mike

They are called from /etc/rc.d/localpkg if they are the old style.
The directories searched are defined with local_startup (which defaults
to: /usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d).
Ok, looking in localpkg, I see this.
pkg_start()
{
# For each dir in $local_startup, search for init scripts matching *.sh
#
case ${local_startup} in
[Nn][Oo] | '')
;;
*)
echo -n 'Local package initialization:'
slist=
if [ -z ${script_name_sep} ]; then
script_name_sep=
fi
for dir in ${local_startup}; do
if [ -d ${dir} ]; then
for script in ${dir}/*.sh; do
slist=${slist}${script_name_sep}${script}
done
fi
done
script_save_sep=$IFS
IFS=${script_name_sep}
for script in ${slist}; do
if [ -x ${script} ]; then
(set -T
trap 'exit 1' 2
${script} start)
elif [ -f ${script} -o -L ${script} ]; then
echo -n (skipping ${script##*/}, not executable)
fi
done
IFS=${script_save_sep}
echo '.'
;;
esac
}
So rcorder is not used for the rc scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d? That
explains much, since I have a runsvstat.sh script needed to start
runit, and a script to start one of its services starts with an 'm'
and is executing first, which I don't want.
Why is rcorder not used on these files as well? It's such a good system.
The new style scripts are found in /etc/rc as well. You may want to look at
the find_local_scripts_new() function in /etc/rc.subr to see how some of this
functions. There is some trickery here because we have to do this in more
than one step. Since /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ may not be on a mounted filesystem
until we run through some of the earlier scripts.
Ok, thanks.
Mike

Apparently you're running Postfix.
Is this problem unique to postfix?
Put this in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf, and you will never have this
problem again:
MAKE_ARGS = {
# Preset mailman so it will compile with the right group
'mail/mailman' = 'MAIL_GID=mailman'
}
