Re: [freenet-support] I need to limit the amount of memory java uses.
Interesting. This does not set a limit, so it would use the default.
Which is 64MB! Are you sure you're not reading the wrong memory usage
indicator? VIRT is pretty meaningless, RSS is more interesting iirc...

RE: [freenet-support] Re: Freenet causing crashes...
That's good to know. Thanks. In the event log, does the message say "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts."? Cuz if so, that's the 10 half-open connection thing I mentioned in an earlier post. So far, that's the only TCPIP messages I've gotten in event manager, personally.

RE: [freenet-support] Problems with Freenet: from a windows perspective.
Well, I HAVE bumped into the half-open connection limit once or twice. Mostly it's an issue for people using P2P clients, edonkey, overnet, etc... It's easy enough to fix anway. I did some reading on the subject, and the recommendation I got was to manually change the config file to have "TransientNode=False" in it. Apparently Freenet won't integrate into the network as well if you're set to transient. In the process of testing it now. I'll know better in a day or so.

Transient isn't that relevant anymore; the current build in CVS has all traces of the Transient property removed. So you won't notice much of a difference using this property on stable (build 5091).

Re: [freenet-support] I need to limit the amount of memory java uses.
I think Salah is correct (provided you're running Gentoo). freenet.conf
does *not* contain any information that's passed to the JVM. That
information (according to your start-freenet.sh file) is set to the
variable $JAVA_ARGS.
You might find $JAVA_ARGS defined in /etc/conf.d/freenet; look for -Xmx.

Steve: This is interesting. If you don't submit a bug report to
bugs.gentoo.org, I will. This script, /usr/bin/start-freenet.sh is essentially
another method of running Freenet on Gentoo, the other being
'/etc/init.d/freenet start'. The init script correctly sets JVM memory usage,
but the above doesn't, of course. The init script properly sets memory usage
by looking in /etc/conf.d/freenet. In /etc/conf.d/freenet, the environment
variable called "$JAVA_OPTIONS" is set to "-Xmx256M", by default.
There are two ways you could fix this. 1) is to change the above script to
somehow have the "-Xmx256M" option passed to ${JAVA}, along with what's already
there. Either add it directly or set $JAVA_OPTIONS and add that. 2) is to run
Freenet from the initscript, which requires being root.
Number 2, of course, is much better than number 1. For one thing, your number 1
will get overwritten in the future.
Let me/us know if you still have problems.

[freenet-support] Gentoo Freenet Script
If you're running Freenet from a Portage-installed package on Gentoo, the
following script will work.
--
#!/bin/sh
# Freenet Wrapper Script
if [ ${1} == "start" ]; then
echo "/etc/init.d/freenet start"
/etc/init.d/freenet start
fi
if [ ${1} == "stop" ]; then
echo "/etc/init.d/freenet stop"
/etc/init.d/freenet stop
fi
if [ ${1} == "restart" ]; then
echo "/etc/init.d/freenet restart"
/etc/init.d/freenet restart
fi
# The most important part follows. This is to
# update the node. The others are almost as easy
# to do myself, from the command line. But the
# update script is the heart of the matter.
if [ ${1} == "update" ]; then
cp -f /usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar.old
/usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar.ancient
cp -f /usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar /usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar.old
wget http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar -O
/usr/lib/freenet/freenet.jar
wget http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/seednodes.ref.bz2 -O
/var/freenet/seednodes.ref.bz2
bunzip2 -f /var/freenet/seednodes.ref.bz2
touch -d "1/1/1970" /var/freenet/seednodes.ref
chown freenet:freenet /var/freenet/seednodes.ref
fi
--
Call this script "freenet" and add it to your $PATH and running/administering
Freenet becomes a matter of typing 'freenet start'. This may not be useful,
it's almost just as easy to type '/etc/init.d/freenet start', or you may have
'rc-update add freenet default' in the past. But the fourth option 'freenet
update' is where it gets interesting. The default install of Freenet, via
Portage, requires you to type that god-awful ebuild-config-wait-2-seconds
thing. Once you get that typed in you have the problem of wget nuking your
Freenet jar if freenetproject.org is down. This happened to me. Wget tried to
overwrite the freenet.jar, but since the website was down, got no further than
the 0th byte, leaving me with no Freenet. =(
The above script fixes both of these issues. It simplifies the command to
update Freenet, and it makes a backup of freenet.jar before downloading the new
one.
Caveats: It actually makes two backups. This is probably not useful to anybody.
You can remove the creation of the second backup. Also, this doesn't handle
updating unstable nodes. But if you're running unstable, you're more than
likely not running a Portage ebuild of Freenet. Third caveat, I suppose, is
that this doesn't give you a 'freenet config' command. 'vi /etc/freenet.conf'.
