sendmail question
by Wojtek Malinski 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

Hi, I've been strugling with sendmail for while and got to the point that everthing works, but only if I restart the sendmail using "kill -HUP _____ " command. When I reboot computer sendmail does not work propertly (but it runs) and I have to go through the same procedure (of restarting sendmail). I tried copy /etc/sendmail.Suse.cf to /etc/sendmail.cf but there was no change. When I tried to copy other way around it got worse. In the file /etc/sysconfig/mail i set option: MAIL_CREATE_CONFIG="no" Plesase help me out, Wojtek

Cron - question
by Thomas Nyman 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

Hello fellow Susers, I've been trying to get a grip on cron and am slowly making headway. But first a few words about what I'd like to do.. I'd like for cron ti run a script that takes the contents of a log, emails them to a certain adress and erases the log, also I'd like a cron to run a script that checks a file (i.e a log) for a particular word (postfix maillog for the word "REJECT" or perhaps my firewall for a certain phrase or word and emails me if that word is found) May it suffice to say I have no previous experience of scripts. Anyway, if anyone has any help,pointers or tips I'd appreciate them. Thanks Thomas

compiling netatalk for SuSE 8.0
by Count Schemula 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

I'm getting constant type -50 errors with netatalk, so I'm trying to upgrade netatalk. I'm reading the DOC files, but I am unsure how to get it to install everything in the right place. What are some of the differences between how SuSE is organized and how the netatalk binaries are organized? They are probably based on RedHat. Do RedHat users have as much trouble installing things? Seems I always need to modify files and thus I rarely can install things successfully. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

YOU, Updating Gnome, Mozilla, etc.
by Preston Crawford 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

I'd like to updated either/or Mozilla and Gnome. However, they haven't yet (Gnome 2 or Mozilla 1) appeared on YOU. I'm a fairly new SuSE user, so I'm wondering, will these ever appear on YOU? If not, where is the best place to get them? I tried the SuSE FTP site, but it was dog-slow. Even worse, when I finally did download Mozilla 1, I got an error stating that Galeon and Nautilus required it so I'm not really sure what the best approach is for getting Mozilla especially, upgraded, so that I don't have to use the dreaded --force --nodeps. Any ideas? Preston

Fwd: Re: [PHP-DB] Why?
by James Hatridge 26 Aug '02

HI all... Can someone help me with this? I'm working on a php database and have hit a wall with this safe mode. Does SuSE override php.ini somewhere? If so where?

What I'm trying to do is this command below: cat euroUSA.txt | awk '/Rates/{D=$4 ; next} {n=NF; print D "\t" $(n-1) "\t" $(n) } ' > euroUSA1.txt Is there a better way to do this the exec command?

more netatalk ./configure
by Count Schemula 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

I got atalkd to land in the right place using ./configure --prefix=/usr but i can't figure out how to get the conf files into /etc/atalk they seem to both use the same prefix (/usr), so how can I get atalkd to go to /usr and the conf files to goto /etc? Plus the binaries will call the conf directory netatalk and SuSE calls it atalk my eyes hurt from staring at vi and text files... I think my lack of understanding is really making this hard. Does it sound like I'm approaching this wrong, considering I don't really know what I'm doing? I'm just trying to hack this thing into place. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.yahoo.com

StarOffice 6 won't start
by Nick Selby 26 Aug '02

Hi, I have StarOffice 6 on Suse 8, and it's worked for some time. I just tried to start it up and I got a flashing icon for a few seconds then nada. Restarted X and same thing. Checked /var/log/messages and /var/log/warn and nothing there related to that . Can anyone point me in the right direction to start solving this? Thanks, Nick
