[opensuse] scripting problem
by Sebastian Reitenbach 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi, I want to substitue some variable names, to build another variable, therefore I have a script like this: #!/bin/bash NETS="NET0 NET1 NET2" NET0_IF=eth0 NET1_IF=eth1 NET2_IF=eth2 CNT=0 for NET in $NETS;do echo ${${NET}_IF} done What I want is the output to look like like: eth0 eth1 eth2 but whatever I try, it ends with a "bad substitution", or wrong output. Is there a way of this kind of double substitution in bash? kind regards Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] nrpe compiled without --enable-command-args
by Peter Sjoberg 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

I was trying to setup nagios and nrpe and couldn't get the remote commands to work even after enabling "dont_blame_nrpe=1". After pulling my hair for a while I found that nagios-nrpe is compiled without --enable-command-args so I had to recompile from source to get it to work. Any special reason (besides the obvious security risk part) that OpenSuSE ships with nrp command-args disabled ? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Techwiz, Peter Sjoberg PGP key (12F506C8) on keyserver & homepage Key fingerprint = 3DC2 CEBA 1590 B41A 3780 955A DB42 02BB 12F5 06C8 mailto:peters AT techwiz.ca http://www.techwiz.ca/~peters -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I just notice it, because I use Konqueror as my primary browser.

[opensuse] shutting down only one alias interface
by Sebastian Reitenbach 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Hi, I have configured some aliases to eth0, so now I have eth0:0 eth0:1 eth0:2, ... When I now want to shut down e.g. eth0:1 I issued the command: ifconfig eth0:1 down but then all alias interface disappeared. I also tried ifconfig eth0:1 <alias IP> down with the same effect, so also not what I wanted. I look for a way to shutdown just one of the aliases, without touching the other. kind regards Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] can't get update sources...
by jfweber＠gilweber.com 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Well, it has a list, but keeps saying there is a missing database, and crashes.. it does this no matter what sources one selects... this is w/ Yast2 of course.. No nice error messages , sorry Marcus, it isn't giving any.. or at least anything that doesn't flash by too quick for a speed reader to catch... It's a new install, w/ only the old /home left ( I didn't feel like backing up 85 gigs of stuff. So sue me ;-) ) -- j I'm out of my mind - but feel free to leave a message .... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
