That is a very good point!! I have a Raspi running 24h, and it has problems with the wifi dropping occasionally. I've put some monitoring on it to try to debug the problem. Just today I saw a mail attempted, but failed due to lack of DNS. (the wifi was just coming up).
Check the number of retries and if excessive:
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 retry short 14
Thanks, I have not seen that incantation mentioned. People are suggesting to turn off power management, which I have just done tonight.
PS It's not a problem for my situation, since the log files will still exist. As long as the problem is still there, it will retry sending a mail every time it runs (every 5, 10, 15 or 60 mins depending on the sensor). It's not likely my suse machine will be down for long since it's also my TV server.
Server or client? I have a 2nd Raspi that I tried getting to run as my MythTV client, but despite many positive reports on the 'net, it was still too slow. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
