Hi, Situation: when i start my PC, LILO presents to me the choice of kernel to start ==> OK BUT when i restart my PC without doing a physicaly shutdown, LILO starts without proposed me choices. I suspect that it's not normal. Any suggestion? Vincent

in KDE, ==> Quitter l'environnement ( so in english logout) and after i choose to restart computer. So always by software... :-)) thanks Vincent

And you didn't notice the choices on the 'reboot' option? It allows you to select which system to reboot.

When my KDE logout comes back to allow me to login again... I click on shutodwn. Then there is the option of 'shutdown' or 'reboot'. If I select reboot, I can choose at that time which system I want to reboot with. This is normal gui loging stuff as far as I know... +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

If you want to see the reboot choices as per usual with lilo -- you can change this behaviour under control centre. Open the control centre, system, login manager and push the root button in the lower right hand corner. Once logged in select the sessions tab and deselect the third section --Under heading of lilo. Next time you reboot you should get the regular lilo menu. Hope that this helps. ---- Marianne Taylor Caldera Refugee On Tuesday 31 July 2001 10:50, Vincent Allard wrote:

New subject: How to detect lost telnet client connection

SuSE 7.1 server dedicated to use DOS FoxPro program. Users (from local LAN and remote users over ISDN ppp links) uses telnet to connect to Linux server, then DosEmu is automaticaly started and FoxPro 2.6 DOS accounting program. Everything works fine with this. But, when telnet client lost connection due to any reason (Windows freeze, power off PC, closing telnet client program without logout...), DosEmu remains active (with FoxPro program), hangs on, eating CPU resources (due to a DOS stupid idle routine). Easy can happen that there is 5 live and 5 dead DosEmu processes, and all use CPU. I got to kill such dead processes (with lost client connection), because them slows down whole server. So, the problem is: how to detect such dead processes?!? The only different thing between alive and dead situation is lost client connection. How can I detect it? (some workstation can have few telnet connection, some of them alive, and some dead). I would appreciate any idea and suggestion. Bye, Ivan Gustin

New subject: Samba and DOSEMU file locking

Hi, The subject is old, well known problem, mentioned on many web pages and mailing lists around world. Samba and DosEmu doesn't see each others file locks while using the same files. If you use only Samba, locking works fine. If you use only DosEmu, locking works fine, too. But, if LAN users use Samba to access some file, and there is some (remote) users which connects to server using telnet and DOSEMU to access the same (database) files, they don't see locks (and can destroy database content). This is not bug of any mentioned program, they just use different way of file locking. So, if any of you had the same problem and got solved it, please share it with us. This is big problem, because it is not concern only Samba and DosEmu, but many similar situations. Solving this problem will solve many heterogeneus solutions. The only thing I found recently is http://www.recital.com/products_samba.htm, but I not tested it yet. It looks like a answer to this problem. Have any such experience? Bye, Ivan Gustin
