[SuSE Linux] Newbie questions - scripts in /etc/rc.d for sound/postfix
by eivindo＠bgnett.no 26 Mar '99

26 Mar '99

Hello. Does anyone have any good scripts to put in /etc/rc.d to handle sound (through OSS 3.9.2g) and the mailer 'postfix'? I'm thinking about scripts in the same style as the other scripts that comes with SuSE Linux 6.0. I have tried changing the 'sendmail' script to work with 'postfix', but it doesnt work 100 0ke it should. For example, it gives status = "failed" when I try to stop the service (with '/etc/rc.d/postfix stop'). I hope someone can help me here. At least, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. (Btw, Postfix itself was much, MUCH easier to set up than Sendmail 8.9.3.. ;) This is how my '/etc/rc.d/postfix' script looks like: -START- #! /bin/sh . /etc/rc.config # Determine the base and follow a runlevel link name. base=${0##*/} link=${base#*[SK][0-9][0-9]} # Force execution if not called by a runlevel directory. test $link = $base && SMTP=yes test "$SMTP" = yes || exit 0 # The echo return value for success (defined in /etc/rc.config). return=$rc_done case "$1" in start) echo -n "Initializing SMTP port. (postfix)" startproc /usr/sbin/postfix start || return=$rc_failed echo -e "$return" ;; stop) echo -n "Shutting down SMTP port:" startproc /usr/sbin/postfix stop || return=$rc_failed echo -e "$return" ;; restart) $0 stop && $0 start || return=$rc_failed ;; reload) echo -n "Reload service postfix" startproc /usr/sbin/postfix reload echo -e "$return" ;; status) echo -n "Checking for service postfix: " checkproc /usr/local/bin/postfix && echo OK || echo No process ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart|reload}" exit 1 esac # Inform the caller not only verbosely and set an exit status. test "$return" = "$rc_done" || exit 1 exit 0 -STOP- -- Eivind Olsen - eivindo(a)bgnett.no -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

RE: [SuSE Linux] Letter to editor.... keeps Linux on the badlist
by larry.yates＠compaq.com 26 Mar '99

26 Mar '99

AMEN!!! -----Original Message----- From: Karsten Johansson [<A HREF="mailto:ksaj@xoommail.com">mailto:ksaj@xoommail.com</A>] Sent: Friday, March 26, 1999 9:42 AM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Letter to editor.... keeps Linux on the badlist I am a consultant mainly working in Network Security, and do about 900f my work with Linux. Actually, it used to be about 50% but now that Network Associates has ported Cybercop Scanner to Linux, its usability has increased greatly for me. One thing I have noticed is that there is a very severe dislike for Linux in the corporate business world. Linux bashing is becoming very popular, led by the Microsoft ringleader himself, Bill Gates. Its success is to the point that nowdays I can only tell my clients I use "Unix" because as soon as I say the word Linux, most company directors get a sour taste in their mouths. What is the reason for this? How is it that Microsoft bashing Linux is so much more widely accepted as truth? This is simple: there is a major difference to how Linuxies argue their stance that will always keep Linux number one on the public blacklist. Microsoft and other Windows-folk continue to call Linux by its proper name. Why it is that Linuxies prefer to use names like Windoze, Microshit, Internet Exploiter, etc, is beyond me. This is an annoying "feature" very particular to Linux and FreeBSD that is virtually nonexistant to the professional operating system world (SCO, IRIX, Solaris, etc) And there are constant references about Microsoft users being somehow inept or stupid. Offending people in this manner only serves to make us Linuxies all look very childish. There are several operating systems that are far superior to Linux, but you will not hear them bashing Linux with childish nomenclature reminiscent of the neighborhood children sticking out their tongues and calling you silly names. I do not believe that the letter as posted to the editor of the NT magazine will work to persuade anyone that Linux is anything but the OS of choice for hobbyists and mouthy teenagers. Too bad, because other than the fact that it appears to have been written by someone in grade 7 with a nasty attitude, it holds more than a grain of truth. Having been written by an adult (or at least sounding like an adult, as the case may be) this letter would serve the Linux "community" much better. I've been in the industry long enough to know that if you talk like a child, your opinion is accepted as a child's opinion. Even Microsoft users know that...

[SuSE Linux] Motherboard Recommendation
by dsoper＠efn.org 26 Mar '99

26 Mar '99

Hi all, I just did my taxes and appear to be coming into a sizable chunk of change, so it's upgrade time. I'm looking for an excellent motherboard for running Linux. I have an Adaptec 2940UW SCSI and am also going to upgrade my hard drive to an IBM or Quantum. Any suggestions on a motherboard-- I can't use an Alpha or Pentium SMP board, as my kid has to have her Win 95 games-- would be quite appreciated. Something that deals well with NT ;-( and Netware would also be a plus.
