1. You may want to think through the idea of using ">" when comparing two
strings.

2. If you use "sleep 60" and a straight equality comparison, then you will
have to compare only minutes, not seconds, and there is a chance that my
script will not work, for reasons that should be obvious.

configure problems

Posted: 10 Oct 2004 03:03 PM PDT

In article <sentex.net>, Morrison wrote:
 

Version 7... 9... That could be Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE, or even
Slackware, all of which are quite different.
 

"configure" is usually a shell script located in the build directory of
applications. For example

[compton ~]$ locate configure
/hubble/incoming/downloads/arping-1.06/arping-2/configure
/hubble/incoming/downloads/libpcap-0.8.2/configure
/hubble/new/ppp-2.4.2/configure
/hubble/new/ppp-2.4.2/pppd/plugins/radius/radiusclient/configure
[compton ~]$

I would be somewhat surprised to see a distribution having such a
command, so would you clarify that a bit further?
 

Often, that means that the current directory isn't in your PATH (as
root, it should NEVER be, and an ordinary user might get a nasty
surprise if the current directory is in the PATH, and writable by
others). Does 'ls configure' show the file? Is it executable by
you?

[compton /hubble/new/ppp-2.4.2]$ ls -l configure
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5081 Nov 9 2002 configure
[compton /hubble/new/ppp-2.4.2]$

To run this command, I would need to type

./configure
 

Might be in plain sight.

I see you also posted this same article to "comp.os.linux.help",
"comp.os.linux.redhat" and "alt.os.linux". First, please do not
multi-post (posting the same article SEPARATELY to multiple news
groups. If you really must post to more than one group (something
that is _rarely_ required), put all of the groups into the
Newsgroups: header separated by commas. That way, people only have
to download one copy. Seconds, point your news tool at
news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, or news.lists.misc and see the
post "List of Big Eight Newsgroups" to find a list of valid newsgroups.
"comp.os.linux.help" was renamed "comp.os.linux.misc" back in 1994 -
though some news admins _still_ haven't gotten the word.
"comp.os.linux.redhat" has never been a valid newsgroup.

How do you boot using udev

You need to make up your mind. You can either configure everything by
hand, or you can rely on other people to know what they're doing and
take advantage of their efforts. Rather than being a script kiddy,
I'm afraid I'm just too old to do it all for myself anymore.

Debian's udev config works really well. A student of mine who runs
gentoo says the same about it. It's obviously not too complicated for
*everyone*.

fedora core

This is because by default Fedora installs to use runlevel 5, with a
display manager (gdm/kdm/xdm) specified in /etc/inittab to be respawned
whenever the X server dies:

# Run xdm in runlevel 5
x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon

Using CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE simply kills the X server, which if you're not in
runlevel 5 will drop you back to a text console, but in runlevel 5 will
cause init to respawn the display manager.

You can "fix" this a couple of ways: edit /etc/inittab so your system
starts in runlevel 3 (text) and use "startx" to launch X after you log in,
or simply switch to a text terminal from X using CTRL-ALT-Fn where "Fn" is
one of the function keys F1 through (usually) F6. Return to your X
session by pressing (usually) F7, although if you have more than one X
server running, F8 through F12 can also work.

dsl client that not needs root

Why not start the service when the system starts as you do other services
including ethernet, etc.

That way it starts as root and the user does need to do anything - the
Internet connection is just there.

Alternatively you could use sudo to give the user root for the one command
they need.
