[opensuse] dbus-daemon and other stuff
i've set up a server to be used as a TS for arround 30 users. it works great, but i have some minor issues . ( it's an opensuse 10.2 ) * i'll had to disable beagle, because it ate all my ram. is it possible, to let it run at night only, or when a user is logged out ? * if i do a ps auxw, when all users are gone, i see a lot of these processes (arround 100 or more ) /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 4 --print-address 6 --session my ps list is growing to large.... * how do i disable sound completely * i'll try to create a pipe for my syslog-ng, but i'll keep getting these permission errors, although the permissions seems correct this is the pipe prw-rw---- 1 root root 0 2007-03-23 23:44 check_vigor_messages these are the messages Mar 23 23:44:38 jwt kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating.

Hi,

* i'll had to disable beagle, because it ate all my ram. is it possible, to let it run at night only, or when a user is logged out ?
Which process is it? If it's the beagle-build-index process, that's the system-wide crawler that runs once a day. Unfortunately the way openSUSE works out of the box is to run that daily cron jobs are run 15 minutes after you first install the distro and then at that time every day. Since most of us install our machines in the middle of the day, this is usually the *most* inconvenient time to run these jobs. There was a bug open about that before, but I can't find it now. Anyway, you can edit the /etc/sysconfig/cron file to set it to run in the middle of the night, which I strongly recommend. Remember to run SuSEconfig afterward. You should also upgrade to 0.2.16.3, in the openSUSE build service and available from here: http://software.opensuse.org/download/Beagle/ which will use a lot less memory when building the indexes. If it's the beagled or beagle-helper processes, these are the per-user session processes which actually handle searches and index user data. You can't run those while the user is logged out, but again the updated version above will be much better behaved. If it's still a problem afterward, you can follow up by me privately and we'll see if we can track down the issue.

Via Yast, System, etc/sysconfig Editor, System, Cron, DAILY_TIME. Here set the time you want your daily cron jobs to run. Works great. Remember to run SuSEconfig afterward. This is done automatically if done through Yast.
