Question on script
I have a small script that pings my ISP every so often so the ISP doesn't shut my server connection down for lack of activity. The script is as follows #!/bin/sh ping -i 600 wvi.com/tmp/pinglog.txt On my desktop I have set up an icon to start the script called pingit. The execute line is /root/pingit . Now the problem is, that when I click on the icon for the script, it should start running and run in the background. And I should be able to see it in the Taskmanager, but I don't see it running and it evidentally is not executing. I have tried to start it in a terminal with the following: !pingit I get an error msg that has to do with the '' If I try to run it with just !pingit, it says that there is no such command. Anyone have any ideas? All Help would be appreciated.

Re: hdparm tuning info (hdparm.conf)
Hi all, Does anyone know how to use the hdparm.conf file in eW3.1? It looks like rc.boot uses that file for hdparm settings. I don't appear to have an hdparm.conf file in my /etc directory, but DMA and 32-bit access are turned on by default (perhaps in the kernal?). But I'd like to get UDMA 4 enabled automagically. My guess is that I just put hdb:X68 in a file called /etc/hdparm.conf and then /rc.boot will take care of the rest. I enabled UDMA4 manually and am getting 18.77 MB/sec transfers. I'd like to make the change permanent. Thanks, Tim On Saturday 11 August 2001 09:16 am, Douglas J.

Re: Easy reliable way to repartition my WinME box
i found a relatively nice item, no partitions necesasry, only multiple hdds. Its called TRIOS. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=R75-1000 TRIOS is a piece of hardware that allow you to connect 3 hdd's to a single ide channel, only being able to use a selector(thats located on the front panel wehre a cdrom face is located) that allows you to select what hdd you will boot from. This is the item I will use on my next box. no interface, simply set bios to auto, whatever switch is selected is the one that boots.

printer, cd drives and cardreader
I finally bit the bullet and re-installed. At that point I got the printer printing but using ps which makes it very slow so will have to alter that somehow. The next thing I did was to enable the cddrives using sr0 and sr1. These then were available at last to the system and xcdroast without having to use the append statement in menu.lst. I also saw that there was at last an icon for the cardreader, which i hasd to change and rename, as it was trying to mount on /auto/sda. I had success with /dev/sda1 in mounting it on /carddisk and being able to read the files at last with konqueror. Now this took place in /root, but as user it will not let me mount it even with permissions like this; brw-rw-rw- 1 kantoine users 8, 1 Apr 28 05:38 /dev/sda1 Now why not and /carddisk is owned by kantoine.users.
