unable to build ntp
Help please. I am running 6.0-RELEASE, and am trying to build ntp. Process fails during ./configure with the following results: # cd /usr/src/contrib/ntp # ./configure --snip--- configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating ElectricFence/Makefile config.status: error: cannot find input file: ElectricFence/Makefile.in Interestingly, I get the same results using a 4.5 machine. I note that in the /usr/src/contrib/ntp/FREBSD-upgrade file, it states in part, For the import of NTP the following files were removed: ElectricFence/* so it makes sense that ElectricFence is not there, but how do I get rid of the error? Background: I have the following entry in my crontab: 7 0-23 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org /dev/null In the old days, ntpdate would only send root an email if it could not find a server. Now I get emails every time the cron runs, even though I am dumping STDOUT to /dev/null. Problem is code in 6.0 directs server found messages to STDERR, while 4.5 code did not contain this. I want to recompile with the server found messages directed to STDOUT.

But the easier answer would be to redirect stderr as well as stdout when calling ntpdate, and generate a message only if ntpdate returns an error result. Or run ntpd... -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org/~lowell/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: unable to build ntp
Thanks everyone for the help. For the archive: I went to /usr/src/contrib/ntp/ntpdate and edited ntpdate.c. I searched for 'host found' and changed the stderror to stdout. I then went to /usr/src/usr.sbin/ntp and performed a make install clean. Problem solved; the new 'host found' messages now go to stdout, just like all the other messages, so I can dump them to /dev/null, but 'host not found' error messages still show up as mail to root.

Brad As cron generally uses /bin/sh as the shell (set near the top of /etc/crontab) you could have used /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org 2/dev/null instead of /usr/sbin/ntpdate -s pool.ntp.org /dev/null and I believe you could also extend it to 2/dev/null /dev/null ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
