Cronjob - revisited

Hi all. To this day I still can't get the following to work from a cron job: mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 32768 && tar -cSPf /dev/st0 -b 64 /store/bkup && mt -f /dev/st0 rewoffl It returns the following error: tar: /dev/st0: Wrote only 0 of 32768 bytes tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now The job runs without complaining on a root konsole. If anyone can help sort this out once and for all I *really* will be chuffed. TIA Best regards, Darryl ---- Edgemead High School (Northern Suburbs, Cape Town) Powered by SuSE Linux 8.2 ----

Once you have Linux on new partition you can copy the files, or do it from your working copy of Linux. If you have been following this list (SLE) long, you know that your questions gets asked frequesntly, so do a little googling. Similar questions were very common as 9.0 was comming out. However, you didn't say what Linux you are using. Is it SuSE 9.0? Also is your Windows XP ??? Win2K ??? or what ??? Is the Windows partition NTFS ??? Although I have not used it, SuSE 9.0 apparently now can partition NTFS partitions whereas 8.2 and down can't. There are also commercial programs (such as Partition Magic ) which can be used to create partitions. Remember, google is your friend.

Building KDevelop 3
by Michael Satterwhite 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm trying to build KDevelop 3 beta 1 on my SuSE 8.2 Pro for the first time. When I run .configure, I get an error message that it can't find Berkely DB > 3. I have installed Berkely DB 4, and it is present in /usr/local/BerkelyDB.4.2/ I've looked at the archives for KDevelop, and I can see that various people have been hitting this since last May. I've tried using --extra-includes and - --extra-libs on the .configure line, but it still doesn't find my BerkelyDB I'm pretty sure some of the people here have installed KDevelop 3. As you're on the same distro I have, you probably hit the same problem. Can any of you give me an idea of how to continue? tia - ---Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/yjevjeziQOokQnARArcPAKCvgW7dcMgnUT7ItCLC4GoIvEnqNACeKVyD tN8BnykL0t5cCFd4QfIQ4zo= =96Mm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
