When it comes to kill users when the lost their TTY, the internet is not much help.
Randakar was And I mean A LOT The guy is great. Thanks pal.
Currentley I am testing it, it seems to be working. It is to bad, the users close their app's as they should.
I started out writing a script that kill a users PID when it has lost its TTY (i.e. pts/8) They are generic users called vvoplan. The script now produces a .csv, so I don't have to filter them out manulally. The problem is, I cannot add the kill -9 if I don't know what PID the users are gonna get. :(
As we all know the PID is at random. How do you kill that one.
The card works fine now, the problem seemed to be the Xircom adapter-cable from the card to UTP.
When working with AIX, I found out (as a newbie to AIX that is) it is a lot easier than other Unixlike OSses. It uses Smit As a tool when configuring the Server. Now I am configuring a testsystem for mirroring.
FUN:
Shopping for a Laptop of my own, is a dirty job. I have to, but am in no hurry. I will have one for the duration of this job.
I started out Yesterday at The Lodge. I got a laptop for the duration for this job. It is dual-bootable to RH 7.0. Both OSses work fine, but I need to finetune RH, so it can communicete with the card. It is a Xircom and I don't expect any problems. I dont have the time for that. Bummer :(
At the other hand, I can familiarise me with AIX (by IBM) :)
An IXtreme BSDI-Server arrived. I startet to play wint it, and fount out that a Dual PIII 700 Mhz processor is FAST when it comes to compiling.
The machine will contain the Snow 2.5 Distro sources.
I am also attempting to make an Dualboot Laptop for a new colleague of mine. I hope it works. *sigh* he wants to boot WIN first.
Linux seems to work fine. He needs to finetune, but he wants to do that himself. :)
WORK:
Tomorrow I am Starting at "The Lodge" I am looking forward to this job.
The Snow 2.5 Distro is not working yet. I cannot connect to the machine with ssh. I am positive SSH is installed correctley, but I cannot login. The other way around gives a "PEM_read_PrivateKey: mismatch or unknown EVP_PKEY save_type 116" error....I cannot find a solution on the internet. :(
You can mail me at dionys@tip.nl if you (the reader) has an idea.
This weekend I bought the book Learning Perl 5 in 24 hours. I think it is a great book, for studying. It has a CD-Rom with a perl 5 version for the Mac-OS, Win-OS and (!!) Unix-OS. Since RH installs Perl automatically and I don't have an Mac, I installes Perl on my Win98 machine as well. Both machines are ready for testing....I hope things work out as I planned.
Today I started to install as SUN Solaris 8, but one of the CD's is missing, so I cannot Finish. :( To bad, I need the machine for my studies.
FUN:
Pestering Randakar a little is fun to do and it helps me through the day *grin*.
I am glad he doesn't mind :))
A colleage (Maurice) and I went on an Intake to The Lodge. A possible job we are going to. I think it will be a lot of fun and great for learning.
Randakar is at the office today, until he goes to Versatel.
He got a new Laptop and al littele anoyed because his PCMCIA cards don't work yet. (WVLAN & 3Com)
I also got 3 new colleages who are starting out today....One is having trouble configurating X (RH6.0) and has to connect to the network using SSH. Tomorrow he brings his own Laptop and things should be fine then...
When I have a Laptop of my own I am willing to give Corel Linux 1 last chance if I am not satisfied, it will be ubgraded to an Debian Ditribution. (Corel is based on it....).
But.........that will be in the next 3 months time.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
