[SLE] It just won't die
by rjohns＠otenet.gr 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Why doesn't this work? kill `/var/lock/LCK..ttyS0` The lock file has the PID number of wvdial and I am trying to use this method to kill the wvdial session from a script. I get a message saying permission is denied. This happens even when I am working as root.

RE: [SLE] Partitions - SWAP - Newbie(ish) question

Hi, The swap partition shows up in my /etc/fstab, I think yours should too. To check if you have one in use you can look in /proc/swaps.

[SLE] FETCHMAIL-DAEMON replies annoying
by weberdr＠bellsouth.net 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Am I the only one getting these replies from someones fetchmail setup? It's very annoying to get one of these for every post I make. If the offender is working to fix this I'd like to know so at least I can take comfort in knowing it will end soon. Just had to vent sorry. The little things get to me sometimes. I'll get over it. :-) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

[SLE] Partitions - SWAP - Newbie(ish) question
by mark.schaefer＠delavan.co.uk 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

Hi folks, I let Yast do the partitioning on my work machine and I guess I now have 1 swap partition. I remember reading a "partitioning" How-To and there was a sample list which showed that the author had more than one swap partition. My questions are .. .. 1) Does it actually help to have more than one swap partition ? 2) If yes then how many for a machine with 96MB Ram ? 3) Should I put them on diferent Hard Disks ? 4) Is it possible to add another swap partition to an existing installation without starting again at the begining. I know I can use FIPS to make some space but how do I then format the new partition as swap and let Linux know that it is there and ready for use. Finally.. .. Being a newbie I expected to see my current swap partition in my /etc/fstab file but it isn't there - which file keeps that info? Hope you guys will help.

I would imagine that wvdial (or some running process related to wvdial) is actively using the file, therefore no one would be able to delete. I could be horribly wrong though.

[SLE] Help: Machine Sleeps the Locks up under Linux
by lists＠perser.net 05 Jan '00

05 Jan '00

I have a relatively ancient P75 that I'm running as a gateway machine. When running with Linux (either SuSE 6.2 or Redhat 6.1, I've tried both) the machine goes into a sleep mode from which it will not awake. It does several hours for this lockup to occur although the screen will blank out in a few minutes. I first thought it might be the Automatic Power Management function (apmd) under Linux but I disabled that in the startup and later read that apm doesn't have anything to do with 'green' screens or putting your machine into sleep mode. This seems to occur regardless of the power management settings in the BIOS. It occurs whether or not X is running. The machine doesn't suffer from the same fate when running under Windoze or DOS. /var/log/messages doesn't seem to contain what I would consider to be an error or telltale evidence of anything strange occuring on the machine. Has anyone ever seen this problem before? Any ideas on where I should starting looking to attack this problem? Something in the kernel perhaps? Could a piece of hardware cause this? Any ideas are appreciated. regs, -jrp <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2722.2800" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have a relatively ancient P75 that I'm running as a gateway machine.

Hi, Can Sendmail handle (send) 100,000 mails per day ? (with avg size of 50 K per mail) And to send multiple user with same domain, does sendmail send it once to the domain, or multiple session for multiple user? What other mail system can handle large mailing list ?
