Re: OpenBSD as a laptop OS
See FAQ http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq1.html#Desktop I've been using OpenBSD (mostly on laptops) as my primary work station for eight years.

OpenMP with gcc4?
Hi list,
With the move to gcc4, will we at some point also get OpenMP support?

#pragma omp parallel for
for (i = 0; i 100; ++i) {
a[i] = i*i;
}
return 0;
}

Re: ntp log rotation
NTPD does its own rotating if you tell it to.

Why in both cases the code sums the field?
Are you expecting '0' since the input file contains a space in front
of the number? In that case, run awk with -F '[ ]', e.g.
awk -F '[ ]' '{sum+=$1} END {print sum}' input

You should really take these questions to an awk forum, not to this
mailing list.
Your program reads the first record, and assigns its first column to
'n' in a loop that is immediately exited (with 'next') and goes on to
read the remaining records.
For the remaining records, 'i' being still 1 from the prematurely
exited loop, the first column is subtracted from 'n'.

Sorry, but there will be a short time where the link is not there,
even with ln -sf, there is no way to atomically change a symlink that
I know of.
From the source (/usr/src/bin/ln/ln.c) :

But I've understood from the other responses that this was not, even academically, an interesting problem, so I'll be quiet for a bit again. Thanks for all views, Andreas Generally, a time slice is a time slice. Regardless whether you get 1 sec of every 10 sec or 100 ms of every 1 s, you're going to execute your instructions at a rate of 100% of the cpu within your time slice allocation. Now you can impose scheduler and threading overhead and discipline to make your time slices very, very fine grained so that overall at a system level it looks like 25% of a resource, but your rate of execution within your context is going to be 100%. That said and for the cited examples, the workable answer that I know of is virtual machines. Be it VMWare, XEN, solaris containers (zones), freeBSD jails, qemu(*) or to a degree dragonflybsd (vkernel(*) -- system-in-a-box running as a userland process), each has a means to say that VM(1) gets 25% of the CPU resources and the vm-engine by whatever implement will effectively do so. And you will see that seti, for example, takes 100% of its VM(1) resource but only 25% of machine as a whole, less the overhead. (*)Not used personally.

Limiting CPU to a process or process group?
Hi, Is there a way of limiting the amount of CPU given to a particular process or process group?

I am curious why do you want to set an exact limit and not let the scheduler do this for you? As I said, I don't have a good reason for wanting to do this. It just seemed like something someone might want to do. But let me dream up three examples: Sometimes firefox (or whatever program) goes a bit haywire and brings the machine to a crawl.

What you describe here is exactly what you can accomplish with either nice or the priority option in login.conf. Also, I am not exactly sure what you mean with percent of CPU. Do you mean the difference of cpu time scheduled between a 'normal' process? It is not quite the same because a process, even running at niceness level 20, will grab as much CPU as it can (unless it has to wait for data).

Yes, I could sysctl -w hw.setperf=0 or something like that on my SpeedStep'able CPU, but with hw.setperf=0, a process still have the possibility to get 100% of the CPU. It will be a slower CPU, but it's still not limiting the process to use only a fraction of the CPU at any instance in time. Again, maybe no-one has these kind of requirements in real life?

On Debian, you also end up with a directory structure consisting of

contradicting the message about not being able to copy foo into
itself...
$ mkdir foo
$ touch foo/bar
$ cp -R foo foo
cp: cannot copy a directory, `foo', into itself, `foo/foo'
$ ls -lR foo
foo:
total 4

According to SUSv3, the cp utility *may* issue a diagnostic message
when the source and target arguments are the same. IMHO we're doing
the right thing with regards to that part. I'm not sure about
recursively creating a very deep directory structure, but it's not a

This obviously isn't correct, but it went something like this:

This is not actually invoking cp with only one argument. See here:

Re: int vs. long
What are you storing in your ints/longs, what operations are you doing on them, and how significant is the difference in speed that you observe under what cicumstances? Choosing a type based on speed will generate potentially unportable code, whereas choosing a type based on what data you will actually store will be safer. There are type called int_fast32_t, uint_fast64_t etc. (from 8 to 64 bits, both int and uint) in the C standard, in stdint.h. They are supposed to be the fasted integer type of at least the mentioned number of bits. Use these and pick the width that you will actually need. Regards, Andreas ps.

Could you please describe how you go about syncing using WiFi? This would be very useful. First, you need to configure the network/wifi on your Palm and configure hotsync to sync using the network with the wi-fi service. It is explained in the LifeDrive docs I guess, but basically, for the hotsync configuration, all you have to do is : - hotsync, options - computer name (I have a French Palm OS so the exact name might be different) ; enter the IP/Netmask of the computer you wish to sync to. - come back to the hotsync main screen and choose the Network sync (on top of the hotsync icon, there's Local and Network). That's all... of course, your WiFi _must_ be configured for this to work. On you OpenBSD box, if using pilot-link, you can start the network hotsync daemon with the following command (read the docs about pi-csd, I'm not 100% certain about the following line): # /usr/local/bin/pi-csd -H hostname -a 127.0.0.1 -n 255.255.255.0 -q If you're using jPilot, all you have to do is configure your port as: net: Hope that helps... Yes, this helped. I'm now able to HotSync with JPilot, at least on my amd64 machine at home (haven't had time to test on the i386 I was playing with earlier, but I'm sure it will work). Thanks a lot.

Catching WINCH signal during sleep...
Hi, I'm running the following simple test script: #!/bin/ksh -x trap 'eval $(resize)' WINCH while true; do sleep 10 done What I'm noticing is that the WINCH signal action is not actually carried out until at the end of the sleep, should the signal be sent during the sleep period. I'm wondering if this is the behaviour I should expect or not. I initially expected the signal to interrupt the sleep. The SUSv3 documentation for the sleep(1) utility says The sleep utility shall take the standard action for all other signals [other than ALRM]. (for the ALRM signal, there is a number of things that could happen, which is not interesting right now). (the WINCH signal is delivered when the terminal window changes size) Any thoughts?

SIGWINCH is ignored by default, otherwise your sleep(1) would exit if
you changed the size of your xterm. See signal(3) for the full list.
Ok, so sleep(1) is explicitly ignoring the signal. Can I get it be
interrupted by the signal instead? No, maybe that won't solve my
problem because the installed handler ('eval $(resize)') wouldn't be
run, I guess.
So it is doing the right thing wrt your quote of SUSv3:
Yes, that's probably right. I'll work around it somehow.

Added African whois server to whois(1)
Hi,
I added the African Network Information Center (AfriNIC) whois server
to a new switch (-f) in the whois(1) utility.
A simple diff for whois.c and whois.1 is attached.
The new part of the manual says:
-f Use the African Network Information Center (AfriNIC) database.
It contains network numbers registered on the African continent.
I'm not quite sure how to make whois(1) automatically follow referrals
to AfriNIC for African IPs in the way ARIN referrals to e.g. RIPE are
followed...
Regards,
Andreas

I will need to look more closely on how to automatically look up AfriNIC when a RIPE entry refers to it. I'm a bit short on time right now, but might give it a go next week unless someone could point me in the right direction (or simply makes it happen somehow). Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Kahari

Re: Shell scripting problem -- help, please!
See sh(1), under Command execution:
[...] Just to confuse things, if the posix option is turned off (see
the set command below), some special commands are very special in that
no field splitting, file globbing, nor tilde expansion is performed on
arguments that look like assignments.

Something's screwy here, using the 'set -A' command in /bin/sh on
3.7-release. AFAICT the complicated file-match expression should (in
this case) produce the same results as the simple one, but it doesn't
seem to match at all when used in this script -- but does produce the
expected result when cut-and-pasted to a command line.
Any constructive comments would be greatly appreciated.

The results:
match = '/var/log/pf/103790/*'
files[0] = '/var/log/pf/103790/ne3.in.block.destIP'
files[1] = '/var/log/pf/103790/ne3.in.block.destPort'
