In worst case, notify your system administrator.



 Shared object libc.so.6 not found, required by fortune

This kind of error often indicates an incomplete system update
were libraries are out of date or missing. What way of system
update has been performed?



 root@psumc:/usr/local/tomcat5.5 # bin/startup.sh
 Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined
 At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program

That can be a side effect, maybe some accidentally overwritten
configuration file or a program that's unable to run due to a
missing dependency?

What happens if you manually define those variables to the proper
valies and try again, e. g.

# setenv JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/where your JAVA stuff is
# setenv JRE_HOME=/usr/local/where your runtime lives
# bin/startup,sh

Does this produce a different result?



 root@psumc:/usr/local/tomcat5.5 # su -c 'killall -9 java'

That command doesn't make sense. The prompt indicates that you
are already root. The -c parameter for the su command is missing
an argument, the class. See man su for details, no programming
knowledge required. ;-)

Character Escape sequences and fortune

2009-09-13 Thread Steven Friedrich
I'm wanting to embed escape sequences for colors into my fortune files.
It appears that fortune doesn't user the pager specified by PAGER and doesn't 
support escape sequences.

Anyone know how to embed color, bold, or italics into fortune files?

Sysinstall can easily be run remotely; it has a post install
configure option that is used for situation such as this.
IIRC, the option you'll want is select additional distribution
sets.

Simply shell in with ssh from your remote computer, su
to root, and run sysinstall at your shell prompt.

Agreed on the minimal install.  There is also a NO_GAMES options that may be

 You could get the latest sources with svcup, and do a make, make install in
^
 /usr/src/games/fortune

Is that a new one on me or do you mean 'cvsup'  -- which has been
replaced with  'csup'?

That would be the recommended way to update your ports tree.

You want to use the directive:
  ports-all tag=.
in your supfile to pull in the latest ports tree - which is the only one
since it is not branched like the main OS.

Actually, you should to a full update of the OS and ports tree
at the same time and then build and install all the system before
installing the ports.It doesn't actually take very long any
more on recently built 1,000+ MHz hardware which is so much faster 
than in the good old days of 80 MHz CPUs.

 Hi Jerry,
 
 Could you point me to documentation pertaining to full update of the
 OS and ports tree at the same time and then build and install all the

 I'd like to learn the correct procedures, but I'm concerned I'll miss
 steps or take steps out of order.

Try the FreeBSD handbook.   It is online at:

 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

You should always look through that and the FAQs and search for 
other online publications before posting basic questions.  It
is all documented copiously.


For this, the section:
   23.4.1 The Canonical Way to Update Your System

Will cover it simply.

Unfortunately, the Handbook has not been updated to replace
the old CVsup with the current csup.   But, csup functions the
same and you can just follow the old directions.

This is a process for updating from one release to another, but you 
should do all of this with a new install if you are doing the install 
some amount of time after the release.   That is needed to get the
latest security fixes and to make sure the latest ports are in line
with the OS.

The basic process is to first make a backup unless this is a new
install - when you have nothing to lose.   

Do the csup.I will include a typical supfile to use at the end.
The csup command is as follows assuming supfile is in /etc/supfile_62

   csup -g -L 2 /etc/supfile_62 

Then reboot to single user.

You might want to run this all underscript(1)
to get a file full of all the messages and commands in case
something fails.  You can never follow it on the screen.

Then, do:
   # make buildworld
   # make buildkernel
   # make installkernel
   exit script
   # reboot to single user


Then:

Start another script

   # mergemaster -p
   # make installworld
   # mergemaster
   # reboot

exit script


A useful supfile to use with csup  -- assuming Version 6.2 RELEASE
This will get just the RELEASE and not current or stable which is
better if you are just learning.   Current and stable are for those
wanting the far edge.  I put my supfile in /etc/supfile_version.
You can put it anywhere you want that is accessible when doing the csup.

You can install from sysinstall or manually by mounting your CD,
cd to the binary games directory and install:

 cat games.?? | tar --unlink -zxpf - -C / usr/share/man/man6/fortune.6.gz 
usr/share/man/cat6/fortune.6.gz usr/share/games/fortune usr/games/fortune

execute /usr/games/fortune.

--Mark.

 Any ideas?

I believe 'fortune' is part of the 'games' installation and when 
installed is part of the core distribution -- not a port.

As I recall during a normal installation 'games' are offered as 
an option.

You could try /stand/sysinstall

Do a

Perhaps I am wrong on this; however, I thought when you install FBSD you
also have the option of installing a complete system, or pared down one
that could exclude the 'games' port. I seem to remember a posting on
that a while back where a new user had done a minimal installation and
several utilities they wanted were not available.

Probably not stupid.

Although fortune *can* be part of the base system, it is part of the 
games distribution which might not have got installed.  In fact the 
games are none of them games any more and the likes of snake 
presumably live in the ports now.  Probably you can just run sysinstall 
with the first CD in place and install just the games - but I've never 
done that.  Being a lazy slacker I wouldn't ever consider a Unix install 
complete without *something* that passes for a game (for use during long 
compiles, of course :-))


If you do buildword's and things you might need to check that games 
haven't been turned off in /etc/make.conf which I presume is possible.


This is from 5.4 by I expect 6.X to be largely the same.

% which fortune
/usr/games/fortune

% ls /usr/games
./  caesar* grdc*   pom*
random* unstr*

../ factor* morse*  ppt*rot13*
bcd*fortune*number* primes* strfile*

No clue about Spanish though.  Maybe you need to start translating ;-)

It occurred to me that you could just try:

 which fortune

and see what it returns. If it is not /usr/games/fortune then you don't
have it installed. You may have to use sysinstall to load it. I am not
sure about that however.

Look and see where it is being invoked.   That is commonly in .login
but could be in any file.  If you are using sh or bash it might be
coming from .profile.It could also be in .cshrc (for csh or tcsh). 

Depends on what shell you are using, but with tcsh moving ~/.login to  
~/dot.login ended fortune for me via ssh login. 

What I don't much care for is the large /etc/motd which ships stock  with 
FreeBSD. So that and /etc/hosts are the only files I hack and  override 
manually when using mergemaster.


The motd is supposed to be frequently update.  It was originally intended
for the system manager to post messages to users about whatever was
happening to the system - such as a notice that it would be down for
maintenance that evening.   That is why it was called 'Message Of The Day'.

fortune is being called by one of your shell startup scripts. if bash (as the

FWIW you can do something like this:

fortune -m tail freebsd-tips

to display all tips in the freebsd-tips fortune file that contain
'tail'.

As it turns out there is this tip:

To see the last 10 lines of a long file, use tail filename. To see the
first 10 lines, use head filename.

which is almost what you're asking about :P

Strange question, I have notice that in 5.1 there is no more fortune. Can

No, fortune isn't in there.  It's still in the main tree.  Is it maybe
being installed to somewhere different?  [Doesn't look like it from a
quick Makefile check, but I may well have missed something...]

Is installed on my (5.1 through 5.2-CURRENT) system, in:
/usr/games/fortune - ELF binary
/usr/share/games/fortune/ - directory for furtune data files
Is /usr/games in your PATH?  (Unsure if this is the normal location for 
it or not under FreeBSD, although IMHO it still belongs in a bin 
directory...)

It's the normal location -- that's where it's been since it entered
FreeBSD in the first place, back around 1994.  /usr/games is the
traditional BSD place from well before that.

Check the appropriate dotfiles in /usr/share/skel if you want to edit what
goes into a new user's shell startup files.

I don't fortune so I'm looking into any way I can kill it.
