RE: [suse-linux-uk-schools] ps not working

It's also possible that 'libc.so.5' (a shared library) never existed and infact it 'ps' that has changed and is trying to use it. You could compare the size/details/contents of this 'ps' with one from another similarly (same distro) installed system.

Taper problems
by Derek Harding 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

I wonder if anyone can give me a clue here: I run taper to backup some directories. If I run it by hand it always works fine (running as root). If I run unattended but actually started from the bash prompt (/sbin/taper -U @fileset) it runs OK. When run as a script which repeats the bash prompt command it runs OK. BUT - when I have a line "27 0 * * mon-fri /sbin/taper -U @fileset" it aborts with the line that it cannot start a child process. It reads the fileset OK but simply won't complete. Any ideas? Anyone using the free version of Arkeia or what do you folk use for unattended backups? -- Best wishes, Derek Harding, (BA MIAP) ICT & Network Manager hardingd(a)warlingham.surrey.sch.uk

This month's Linux Journal (which you can get at on the web) has a couple of articles about your very questions. I would add that MySQL is pretty easy to use and has several books published to help) but complex queries and databases need something like Postgres or (cash-cash) Oracle. -- Best wishes, Derek Harding, (BA MIAP) ICT & Network Manager hardingd(a)warlingham.surrey.sch.uk

Unreliable Telnet from Windoze
by Matt Johnson 01 Mar '01

01 Mar '01

Hi, I try Telnetting from a variety of Win98 boxes. I try IP's and sometimes it works, sometimes is doesn't. I try 'names' and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't! Just seems it works when it feels like it. It does seem that if I get a successful connection, it works reliably for a while. Then if I leave it....it needs 'waking up'. This may be completely off! Any ideas? Thanks in advance -- Matt Johnson __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
