Hello luggers, good-morning. Greetings of the season and a prosperous new year to you all. What we need is another event...and another event...and another event........ another event...and another event...and another event........ another event...and another event...and another event........ another event...and another event...and another event........ another event...and another event...and another event........ Which means as i have outlined in my previous mail we have to all work together as a community towards planning out this Year well in advance. Lets prevent crying out hoarse that nothing gets organised at the ilug-bom but make sure that this year we have ourselves working towards a definite plan in mind towards furthering the cause of the FSF/OS movement. I am also looking at sustained participation from Industry/Academia this year in all our events. Lets work to have the same delivered on. Bye for now and have a great day.

killing dead processes
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 04 Jan '03

hi Our server seems to have run into a problem ... there's a dead process with an RSS of 2GB, and it refuses to die no matter what! The swap is down to zero, the machine is thrashing, but we can't afford to restart! What do I do?

more module loading problems at startup
by R.W.A.Tollenaar 03 Jan '03

03 Jan '03

Hello all, I have a problem. I have updated (recompiled and installed) kernel to 2.4.20. It runs perfectly but for one thing: the modules I have compiled to load cannot be found, not during booting and also not by YAST. Fortunately there seems to be only one which I am trying to load and which can no longer be loaded and that is the sound driver. On attempting to use YAST to reinstall it, YAST cannot find the appropriate driver. I have done the following make oldconfig (with xconfig) make dep make clean make bzImage make modules make module_install cp bzImage /boot/vmlinuz cp System.map /boot dirctory (Actually Suse distribution uses System.map-2.4.19-4GB so tried System.map, System.map-2.4.20 and even copying System.map of the new kernel to System.map-2.4.19-GB). nothing helps. Then I even did mkinitrd which did help on the loading of the reiserfs but that problem I had already solved earlier by compiling the reiserfs into the kernel. I need this new kernel, please help:( Greetings, Roland Tollenaar.

How to check whether ppp0 is active
by Vinod 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hi friends, When I connect to net through a modem, I can check whether ppp0 is active or not using ifconfig command so that it will list the status of ppp0. My problem is I had set a command in crontab as follows. lynx -dump www.lcnet.com/update.php (A module to update the web mysql database) Above script has to work and update only if ppp0 is active. How can I check whether ppp0 is active (A script has to check and then if the status is true, update.php module has to execute). Please suggest me how to go about. I had put six to seven commands in a batch file and the batch file name is given in crontab. I am using wvdialer to connect to net and it redials if connection disconnect. and if I specify the dialing command "wvdial redial" in the batchfile, then the subsequent command in the batch file are not executing. Regards, Vinod.
