I've used memtest 86 before, but obviously the machine has to be offline for this test. However, I'm a little unsure of the instructions in the handbook on troubleshooting. namely, it talks about using the nm command, put I can't figure out the data file to give it as an argument, and second I'm unsure about using a debugging Kernel on a production server. I have heard that It will significantly slow down a machine. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ray ___ snip Hi Ray, I have had a few of the Trap 12 errors over the last 10 years of using FreeBSD. From memory, mine where due to faulty motherboard/CPU. I just moved the hard drive to another PC, and all was ok. The last time I received the error, was when I tried recompiling world. I put it down to CPU heat, as it was running a LOT harder than normal day to day use. This was on a server that had been in place for two years running with out problem!

burning DVD's on a robotic burner. Running a central iso repository
Hi, Just at the idea phase at the moment. I have played with various command line tests, but would like to make sure I am not re-inventing the wheel before I progress further. Therefore: 1. Just wondering if anyone knows of a robotic DVD burner/printer that can be integrated with FreeBSD. Ideally I would like it to be able to run 'growisofs' and have it burn the DVD on the networked robotic CD/DVD burner. The burner would have a built in CD/DVD printer. I am thinking the software package would have a web page to allow people to upload a graphic, and/or just a CD/DVD text title, that would be printed onto the CD/DVD. Having one central burner would save me having to issue out DVD burners to multiple users. 2. Conversely, I am looking into having a central DVD reader, that staff would insert a DVD, type some meta-data into a webpage, and then click on the convert button. FreeBSD would then read the CD/DVD and create an iso image of it. The iso image would be placed into a repository, from where they could be mounted as needed, and shared out via samba. An email would be sent out once the CD/DVD has been converted detailing how to access the iso file. This all becomes important when a site moves to using thin clients and Terminal Servers. Any thoughts and ideas are welcome.

RE: FreeBSD on IDE Flash disk drive
Hi, I have played around with using an EPIA 600-PD (Fanless Dual NICS), with 256MB RAM. Works well, however, a buildworld takes around 4 hours ;-) I am booting from a 512MB CF card, and run /var and /tmp from a RAM drive. Upon startup, the CF card /var and /tmp dir. are copied into the ram drives, the rest is Read Only. When it shuts down (not very often), the ram drive contents are copied back to the CF card. You could backup the ram drive to CF more frequently if required. I run off of 12V battery, so power failures don't affect me all that much.

Your test would be a little simpler if you just test one IP address:
your ISP's upstream router. Its reachability is quite definitive re:
whether your ISP link is up or down.
Even it it's assigned dynamically by DHCP, you should be able to
write a script that pulls that IP, pings it a few times, and checks
the result. No special tools necessarily required.

Hi All,
Thanks for your input. I was hoping there was another cmd/util out there
similar to fping that I could elegantly use. I like the above idea though,
so I ended up using this to isolate the upstream ISP gateway IP:
traceroute -nm 2 close-by Internet IP | tail -1 | awk '{ print $2 }'
Integrated that into the fping Perl script and we are away!
Thanks once again :-)
Cheers,
Paul Hamilton

using fping to monitor internet connection status
Hi, I need to monitor a number of IP addresses, so that if they ALL go down (say three IP's), then that is a pretty good indication that my server has lost internet connectivity. The most probable cause is usually the ADSL router, and therefore needs a reboot. I was hoping to use the 'fping' program, but looking through the man file, there doesn't seem to be an exit status on loosing ALL the pings. If one goes down, I don't care, maybe that server is down, so keep pinging the other two etc. I was hoping to write this in Perl (the first fping example looked ok, until I realised that it would activate when any one IP address became unreachable, which means that I am still connected to the Internet).

Hi, I have FreeBSD 4.11 running nicely on a HP DL-140 (80GB Parallel ATA HD), but is anyone running FreeBSD on a HP DL-140 *G2* (80GB SATA HD)? It's the SATA controller I am worried about. The Hardware notes on the 5.4 i386 page don't list the E7520 chipset.

Next question, How does one go about analysing the hardware to find out what the io and interrupt addresses might be? Looking at page 5 of the manual for this mobo (http://www.viaembedded.com/product/Download.jsp?motherboardId =241), it looks like there is a VT1211 super I/O chip connected to the VT8235 southbridge. The GPI/O is nowhere to be to been seen on this drawing, but the webpage for the VT1211 (http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/peripherals/super-io/) lists 56 General Purpose I/O Pins My guess would be that that's what you're looking for. You'd have to talk to VIA how the 8 pins on the mobo are connected to the VT1211. VIA has released an IrDA driver for the VT1211, but it is Linux-only and binary-only. You could write VIA and ask them to release enough documentation to allow a driver for the digital I/O pins to be written. Good luck.

RE: Re: C program to write to the com port - RESOLVED
Hi vittorio,
Hey I am just a beginner myself, but this is a C program, not a C++ program.
My gcc is version 3.4.2 too.
Hmm, did you cut and paste ALL of the source code, including the #include
statements? I also see that it's mentioning code on lines 62, 66 and 69.
My testssc.c only has around 57 lines of code. What else have you included?

RE: Serial Port data dumping program
Hi Ian, -Original Message- From: Ian Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 10 September 2005 3:16 AM To: Paul Hamilton Cc: Glenn Dawson; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Serial Port data dumping program Hi Paul, catching up on a week's digests .. and seeig no further messages on this topic so far, I don't know whether you've sorted this out yet. Anyway.. Snip I have been using the 'minicom' port to dump the received data. I guess you mean the _transmitted_ data, right? I just grabbed the manual at http://www.seetron.com/pdf/ssc2_mnl.pdf and note that the board only _receives_ command data packets. Yes that's correct However, it doesn't seem to collect the data properly. Data coming in should be in accordance with the SSC protocol, ie: byte 1:0xFF// sync byte byte 2: 0x01 - 0x25f//servo address How do you fit 0x25f into a single byte? (I count 10 bits required) Yep, a typo, should have been: 0xff Well, it should be 0-7 (for 1 board, 8-15 for a second board, etc) Yes I was confused about what the starting address was. After looking at the bytes being sent from the Windows program, I could see the correct starting address was 0. byte 3: 0x00 - 0x255 // servo position Same question as above. Brain thinking in hex, fingers working in decimal ;-) Actually it's 0-254 (0x00 - 0xfe) .. 0xff would be another sync byte. True. Here is a dump of the collected data (via minicom): #hexdump minicom.cap 000 45ff 49ff 4cff 50ff 53ff 57ff 5aff 57ff 010 53ff 50ff 4cff 49ff 45ff 45ff 01ff ff82 020 8101 01ff ff80 8202 02ff ff81 8002 03ff 030 ff83 8203 03ff ff81 8003 7fff 7fff 7eff 040 01ff ff7f 7f02 03ff ff7f ff7f 8001 02ff 050 ff80 8003 04ff ff80 ff80 8006 07ff 0080 Looking at the first row of data, it is only showing two bytes, sync and servo position. Rows 020 and 030, shows some servo addresses, but sometimes, together! Both the mini-ssc.exe and minicom program are using 9600 8n1, so why is it showing this? Is there something I have missed in the setup of minicom? Looks like this is a serial buffer problem. Maybe flow control? Is the serial port's UART programmed to ignore CTS/RTS, and/or DTR/DSR? You say you've only wired signal ground, and TxD to RxD, but you 'normally' can't transmit unless CTS is asserted (say, by RTS), may need DTR/DSR too, and perhaps expect DCD to receive? I don't really get what you're doing with minicom - are you receiving the data on another port, or just echoing your transmitted data back? This is what I thought as well. I had a serial port breakout box wired inline and configured pretty well as you mention. Once I had found the Windows mini-ssc program, I then 'just for a lark' pulled one jumper wire at a time, until I found that it was working as a straight through cable! snip paqi% hexdump fgjdg kj ^D 000 6766 646a 2067 6a6b 000a 009 paqi% hd fgjdg kj ^D 66 67 6a 64 67 20 6b 6a 0a |fgjdg kj.| 0009 Is there a better program I could use to display the incoming serial data in hex? hd :) Again, you mean a reflection of your outgoing data, don't you? NOTE: I only use two wires, signal ground and Tx Data (connected to the Rx Data). The servo does respond correctly, so I know the serial data must be in the correct 3 byte format. You could try 2 stop bits - they say one or more. In the second example program in (good grief!) QBASIC in the above PDF manual, they begin by initialising the serial port thus: OPEN com1:9600,N,8,1,CD0,CS0,DS0,OP0 FOR OUTPUT AS #1; I gather CD0 means ignore DCD, CS0 ignore CTS, DS0 ignore DSR; don't know about OP0. Seems you need no flow control, or null-modem wiring? Cheers, Ian Ah, hd! Yes this is a nice program. No byte re-ordering I have noted it down :-) I don't know if you saw one of my other threads C program to write to the com port which is now resolved. I started this thread to help with the troubleshooting of the serial data coming from the C Program. It's interesting that minicom seems to skip recording the 0x00 servo address byte!

Now I am just a beginner at C code, so I feel pretty good getting this far
(hey, it compiles :-) However, a miss is as good as a mile, and so it
doesn't work :-( Having said that, I have a serial port LED breakout
device watching, and I can see a blip on the TX line when I run the compiled
program. This is just meant to be test code, i.e.. Get it working before
cleaning it up etc :-)
I have tried connecting the computers serial port to another one, running:
'cu -s 9600 -l cuaa0' but I don't see anything. Having said that, I don't
see anything if I run the same on the other PC (yes, the TX-RX lines are
swapped over), so maybe that is a problem with my serial cable between the
two computers.
The Servo Controller only needs two wires: signal ground and TX so not
much to go wrong there, and as I said above, I do see a blip on the TX LED
when I run the program.
Questions:
1. Am I really sending the data correctly at 9600baud, 8n1?
2. Am I really sending the hex bytes: FF 00 90 out (or am I sending an
pointer address)?
3. What am I missing?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Paul Hamilton

And users who were not online, the lease expired and attempted to contact the dhcp server and failed. I Would appreciate any help or suggestions. Set the lease expire time to at least 5 days (7 to 10 is better) and the renewal time to between 4 and 12 hours. Then setup a dhcp monitoring process that will alert you if it fails to get an address or renewal. Make sure you have more addresses available than you ever expect to give out. I go with 50% more. I've known some admins that want at least double. Like what to do in the future incase this happens again. Setup 2 dhcp servers on the network. If one fails, the other will hopefully continue to serve addresses. Monitor this one as well. I Would like to find out what had happened. Start reading logs.

The NICs, HDD, USB, CLI work fine. Audio and X-Windows should work too. (I have only tested this on an EPIA M-1, but there it worked without any problems. The onboard graphic chip is fast enough for most 2D application, but it was to slow for me to playback xvid/divx, but an additional PCI graphic card should solve this problem.)

RE: Detailed logging of ssh sessions
Hi Bill, Just as a side note, to help with people guessing a password, how about having a script that monitors the auth.log file and when you get more than X number of entries of username/password tries coming from one IP, it then writes a firewall entry that blocks the IP. You could have a counter/timer, that would release the IP after Y number of minutes (24 hours?). Of course, you could exclude your usual admin IP's from being monitored.

I have servers here and there, that should only be accessible by a limited number of administrators via ssh (i.e. mail and web servers, firewalls). As an added security measure, I'd like to start logging everything that happens during any ssh login (since all our work on these machines is via ssh). I understand, and frequently use script(1), but I want this to be required. I have two goals: 1) If someone manages to guess a password and break in, I want a log of what they're doing. 2) I want 100% guarantee that everything we do is recorded, to make future debugging of configuration mistakes easier.

Taking a snapshot of a UFS filesystem
Hi All, In the December 2003, Sys Admin magazine (www.sysadminmag.com), there was an article (pg 17), about doing Oracle DB Backups using UFS Snapshots. This was implemented using a facility built into Solaris. I have read about other snapshot products for MS Windows NTFS etc. Is there a way to do snapshot backups using FreeBSD's UFS? Hmm, after writing the above, I thought I should at least google for 'freebsd snapshot backup'. Well, low and behold, there it is in 5.0+ Cool! OK, I will remod my question, is there any talk of having the snapshot feature being retro fitted to 4.x stable? (or is there some other util/port out there that does this?) Cheers, Paul PS.

RE: How to find our what version of ports your running?
Hmmm... Thanks for that Lowell. Yes I knew about the pkg_version cmd. I was just hoping that I had missed a command or file that explain it all. I started digging around, and found that the /usr/ports/LEGAL file has the following: # $FreeBSD: ports/LEGAL,v 1.274 2003/02/19 04:24:53 marcus Exp $ as one of the headers, so I guess, that is a rough indication of when it was compiled. Perhaps it might even roughly tie in with the FTP site iso Hmmm, just checked, and they only show 4.8 as the oldest: April 2003 So I guess, that ports version came with 4.7. Anyway, thanks everyone.

tip on using mount_smbfs with the nsmb.conf config file
Hi All, After spending 1-2 fruitless hours trying to track down why I couldn't automate my script to log into the local W2K server, I found that the mount_smbfs man file is incorrect. At least with FreeBSD 4.7 anyway. Maybe it just needs updating. The default global location for the nsmb.conf file should be the /etc directory, not the /usr/local/etc directory, as stated in the man file, and a few web pages I googled. ~.nsmbrc worked ok.

RE: adding a quirk for a USB memory device
Thanks for the help Roland. I was getting ready to edit and recompile
scsi_da.c via doing a kernel re-compile, when I noticed in archives the
'sysctl kern.cam.da.no_6_byte=1' hack.
I tried it out on the command line and found it worked! I didn't have to
recompile after all! I added the command to /etc/sysctl.conf, and all is
well in USB land ;-) I can now plug-unplug the USB memory stick.
Just thought I would mention it for the archives.

Subject: adding a quirk for a USB memory device
Hi all,
So many questions...
I can mount/access (mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt) my 'Apacer 16MB
HandySteno 1.1' USB memory key stick as long as it's connected when I power
up my FreeBSD 4.8 server. It does give an error msg on the console saying:
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0): READ(6)/WRITE(6) not supported, increasing
minimum_cmd_size to 10.
I take it that it has done the increasing by it's self using the Apacer
quirk in /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c
I found a bit of info on this at:
http://www.root.org/~nate/freebsd/quirks.html but it neglects to say how to
recompile scsi_da after it has been edited. It also doesn't go into much
detail on how to get the info needed to add a quirk.
'camcontrol devlist -v' reports:
# camcontrol devlist -v

scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0:

If I unmount it (umount /mnt), disconnect it, and later remount it I get:

it's then lost, until I next reboot the PC.
Qu: is my Apacer device the same one that is mentioned in the scsi_da.c
quirk i.e.,
{T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, Apacer, HandyDrive,
*},
/*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_6_BYTE|DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE
Qu: Do I need another quirk added to the above Apacer quirk, or a whole new
quirk, as I have a Apacer Handy Steno, not a HandyDrive?
Qu: Since 'camcontrol devlist -v' reports that my USB device as a ' USB
DISK 2.08' do I need to set that name up as a quirk instead?
Qu: If I do need to edit/create a new quirk, what method do I use to compile
the file etc?
NOTE: *Any* info I appear to be lacking would be appreciated! :-)

I give it a bash every now and then to see if I will trip over the answer. It hasn't worked, so I will try this list again. I run FreeBSD 4.8 on the gateway, Squid Cache: Version 2.4.STABLE4 Squid.conf has the required lines: http_port 8080 httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on and the required ipfw2 firewall rules: 00050271 27520 allow tcp from 192.168.0.10 to any 00060 3144 fwd 127.0.0.1,8080 tcp from any to any dst-port 80 Interestingly enough when watching the ip traffic on the gateway, I see this on my inside NIC: 08:27:18.735861 192.168.0.2.3276 203.10.1.17.53: 1093+ A? www.google.com.au.

adding a quirk for a USB memory device
Hi all,
So many questions...
I can mount/access (mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt) my 'Apacer 16MB
HandySteno 1.1' USB memory key stick as long as it's connected when I power
up my FreeBSD 4.8 server. It does give an error msg on the console saying:
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0): READ(6)/WRITE(6) not supported, increasing
minimum_cmd_size to 10.
I take it that it has done the increasing by it's self using the Apacer
quirk in /usr/src/sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c
I found a bit of info on this at:
http://www.root.org/~nate/freebsd/quirks.html but it neglects to say how to
recompile scsi_da after it has been edited. It also doesn't go into much
detail on how to get the info needed to add a quirk.
'camcontrol devlist -v' reports:
# camcontrol devlist -v
scbus0 on umass-sim0 bus 0:
USB DISK 2.08 at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da0)
scbus-1 on xpt0 bus 0:

If I unmount it (umount /mnt), disconnect it, and later remount it I get:
umass0: detached
umass0: USB Disk, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2

etc
it's then lost, until I next reboot the PC.
Qu: is my Apacer device the same one that is mentioned in the scsi_da.c
quirk i.e.,
{T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, Apacer, HandyDrive,
*},
/*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_6_BYTE|DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE
Qu: Do I need another quirk added to the above Apacer quirk, or a whole new
quirk, as I have a Apacer Handy Steno, not a HandyDrive?
Qu: Since 'camcontrol devlist -v' reports that my USB device as a ' USB
DISK 2.08' do I need to set that name up as a quirk instead?
Qu: If I do need to edit/create a new quirk, what method do I use to compile
the file etc?
NOTE: *Any* info I appear to be lacking would be appreciated! :-)
Cheers,
Paul Hamilton

cmd to run after installing a new FreeBSD package
Hi all, I read this here in the list, and (I think), read it somewhere in Urban-TieMann's FreeBSD Unleashed, great book. There is a FreeBSD command that you should run after installing a package, which will 'refresh' the path. After running this command, you will have access to the new package command (ie. lynx). It saves you having to logout and relog back in. I have used it once, but it was some time ago and have forgotten it :-( Any Hints...

This is needed if new commands are added to directories in the path while you are logged in.

RE: Converting Linux passwd to FreeBSD
If your users use pop3, you could record their pop3 user name and passwords, since they are transmitted in clear text. Some pop3 servers can even log the username-password. That would get you most of the users, depending on the time frame (as some users will be away-dormant etc).

I'd say, as the passwords are cripted with a non reversible function, either both systems use the same function and you don't have to convert anything, else you're dead. There is no way to get the clear text password knowing the crypted one, so there is no way to convert. If they are not the same function you could always dictionary and brute force attack the passwords. In my experience this should get you most of the passwords. The ones you dont get you may have to have people assign a new password for themselves. I know it is not pretty, but if worst comes to worst.

RE: 'top' showing high interrupt rate
Thanks for the reply's. I didn't see them on the list. Maybe I missed them, so I have pasted them back in here. By any chance, have you altered the system quantum (HZ), or enabled kern.polling? -Chuck Run systat and then type :vmstat (without quotes) to get the vmstat screen. The lower right will have interrupts broken down by device ... this should help. -Bill Moran Try `top -S` instead. This will show system processes as well. Also, use `systat -v` as previously mentioned to see interrupt counts. My guess is this box is a gateway/firewall and may be getting pounded on the network interfaces. Are you running ipfw as well? - Andy Farkas Thanks guys! I tried: sysctl kern.polling and got:- sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.polling' I haven't played around with the system quantum.

script runs ok, however cron job stalls with wget
Hi, I have the following simple test script:- #! /bin/sh cd /root/bin/ /usr/local/bin/wget --glob=on -N --passive-ftp ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/superdat/intel/sdat4???.exe; This should download the latest McAfee superdat file, ie: sdat4250.exe into the /root/bin dir. When I run this script manually, it runs fine. When I have it run via a cron job, it stalls. This is what I see in 'ps -ax' 7673 ?? I 0:00.00 cron: running job (cron) 7674 ?? Is 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c /root/bin/test.sh 7675 ?? I 0:00.00 /bin/sh /root/bin/test.sh 7676 ?? I 0:00.01 /usr/local/bin/wget --glob=on -N --passive-ftp ftp://ftp.nai.com/pub/antivirus/sup Any idea why this might be so? I have tried using an ftp command, but the same thing happens. I have tried exporting a path that includes the /usr/local/bin and the /root/bin directories, however, that didn't help. Any ideas?

using Dummynet to rate limit ftp
Hi, I have played around with dummynet a bit. Very nice! However, it would be nice to be able to rate limit ftp. The control channel port 21 is easy, and not really necessary to rate limit it, but as fas as I can see there would be no way to rate limit the data channel, as it could be different every time, even in passive mode. Am I missing something? Cheers, Paul Hamilton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Configuring FreeBSD 4.7 for IPFW2
Hi All, I have upgraded FreeBSD from 4.3 to 4.7 - no problems. I now want to run with IPFW, so as the man file says, I compiled my new kernel for 'options IPFW2' I then ran 'make -DIPFW2 ipfw2' in the /usr/srs/sbin/ipfw dir. This compiled ok, and I manually copied it to the /sbin dir. I tried that same with /usr/lib/libalias and got the following: root@fred[5:46pm]/usr/src/lib/libalias-107# make -DIPFW2 alias cc -O -pipe -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -DIPFW2 /usr/src/lib/libalias/alias.c -o alias /usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': /usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x79): undefined reference to `main' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o: In function `TcpMonitorIn': /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x1c): undefined reference to `GetStateIn' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x4d): undefined reference to `SetStateIn' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x61): undefined reference to `SetStateIn' snip /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o: In function `PacketUnaliasOut': /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x1788): undefined reference to `FindUdpTcpIn' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x17a8): undefined reference to `FindIcmpIn' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x17d3): undefined reference to `GetOriginalAddress' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x17df): undefined reference to `GetOriginalPort' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x18bf): undefined reference to `DifferentialChecksum' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x1917): undefined reference to `GetOriginalAddress' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x1923): undefined reference to `GetOriginalPort' /var/tmp/cctpxMD2.o(.text+0x197f): undefined reference to `DifferentialChecksum' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/lib/libalias. Any idea on what is going wrong? Is there a way to compile all the files in the libalias/ dir? PS. I got it compiled in the end by doing a 'make buildworld', slow, but IPFW2 runs. I would like to know to get alias's compiled, so I don't have to go around running buildworld.

How do I monitor the serial CTS line via C programmatically?
Hi, I have been trying to monitor the serial CTS line. I would like to log the fact that the CTS has changed state (active/non-active). I have been trying to adapt some Linux programs, but am having problems with adapting the POSIX TIOCMGET function. Is there a FreeBSD way?

RE: How do I monitor the serial CTS line via C programmatically?
Thanks Giorgos!
I needed to know the function used to access the Serial ports under FreeBSD.
Your program compiles, but generates the following error msg when run:
test_prog: ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Thanks to the ioctl 'tip', I researched around, and found that the serial
port needed opening, so this is the finished code (just in case someone else
needs it):
#include sys/ioctl.h
#include errno.h
#include fcntl.h
#include termios.h /*Originally it was termio.h*/
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
int
main(void)
{
int bits;
int last;
int dcf_dev;
if((dcf_dev = open(/dev/cuaa1, O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY)) 0)
{
perror(open /dev/cuaa0);
return (-1);
}
if (ioctl(dcf_dev, TIOCMGET, bits) == -1)
err(1, ioctl);
last = bits TIOCM_CTS;
printf(CTS %s.\n, last ? on : off);
while (1) {
if (ioctl(dcf_dev, TIOCMGET, bits) == -1)
err(1, ioctl);
if ((last ^ (bits TIOCM_CTS)) != 0) {
last = bits TIOCM_CTS;
printf(CTS %s.\n, last ? on : off);
}
usleep(10);
}
return (0);
}
Brilliant!! :-)
Thanks for that!
Cheers,
Paul Hamilton

You'd have to poll using ioctl(fd, TIOCMGET, int) and detect CTS
changes by checking the TIOCM_CTS bit in the returned value. The
following (untested) sample program should be easy to adapt to your
needs. When TIOCM_CTS changes from on to off or vice versa, the
program should print the change.
#include sys/ioctl.h
#include stdio.h
#include unistd.h
int
main(void)
{
int bits;
int last;
if (ioctl(0, TIOCMGET, bits) == -1)
err(1, ioctl);
last = bits TIOCM_CTS;
printf(CTS %s.\n, last ? on : off);
while (1) {
if (ioctl(0, TIOCMGET, bits) == -1)
err(1, ioctl);
if ((last ^ (bits TIOCM_CTS)) != 0) {
last = bits TIOCM_CTS;
printf(CTS %s.\n, last ? on : off);
}
usleep(10);
}
return (0);
}

How can data be inserted into a MySQL DB using C code?
Hi All, Step one was collecting the data, Step two is to somehow get the info into a MySQL DB. I am monitoring a serial port's CTS line, and need to get the fact that it's changed state logged into the DB. I can use C and/or PHP. Perl is beyond me :-( (I have trouble enough just trying to add Perl modules). The C program runs continuously, monitoring the CTS bit, so I thought it would be nice to dump the info straight into the MySQL DB. As a backup, I suppose, I could dump the 'date/time' and 'CTS-Open-Closed' into a text file, then once a day, run a PHP script to import the files contents into the MySQL DB. However, that means I wouldn't get any live data. I know there is the MySQL++ project, but I had problems trying to get that to function, and my C++ knowledge is negligible. Any help, or tips would be grateful. Cheers, Paul Hamilton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
