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

by Simon Wood

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

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

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/
