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.

[ILUG-BOM]Linux swap not working.
by The Linuxer 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hello, I use a P4 based machine running SuSE Linux 8.0. I have a 20 GB Hard Disk & 256 MB RDRAM. At the time of installation, I reserved around 500 MB space for the /swap directory. As intended, it should share memory with the Linux Swap space. The problem is that, when I issue the top command, it shows that used swap space is zero & my Physical Memory is 70% used. I think it's pretty high since I don't use any software which is heavy on system requirments. I tried the swapon command but in vain. Even eding the /etc/fstab file didn't help. Is there any way to force swapping of memory ?? Please enlighten .... Thanx in advance ... Bhaskar Ghose [The Linuxer] ================== Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question.

[ILUG-BOM]Missing special device file /dev/fd0
by The Linuxer 31 Dec '02

31 Dec '02

Hello, Earlier, I mounted 3.5" floppies by just giving the command # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy Now suddenly, I don't know what happened, the bash shell says the device file is missing. As an alternative, what I did is that I changed the entry in /etc/fstab & named the floppy device file to /dev/fd0H1440. Now I mount floppies by using the command # mount /dev/fd0H1440 /floppy Although it works perfectly okay, I am still intrigued by what happened. Is there any way of "recreating" the special device file /dev/fd0 ? Please enlighten .... Thanx in advance. Bhaskar Ghose [The Linuxer] ================= Microsoft is not the answer.

Hi! installed privoxy ( junkbuster clone ) ad filter. However it cannot bind to the default 8118 port. It complains that the port may be in use and exits. When i run #nmap localhost there is no 8118 port open I guess the problem is with the firewall settings. Where are these settings located? Is it the problem of firewall or something else ?

Hi, I have installed "Full (all packages)" Mandrake 9.0, I want to install flash player for any of the browsers - Mozilla, konquorer or galeon. I have given Mozilla a try with flash as follows. I did download and extract the files, and also copied into $HOME/.netscape/plugins and also added application/x-shockware-flash in the preferences->Navigator->Helper Application used swf (not .swf) as the extension. But mozilla doesnt even ask me if it can download the plugin for flash. Bye.
