What initiates dd during shutdown (RH7.0)..?]
by Anu Mathew 07 Feb '03

07 Feb '03

Greetings folks, Posting after not valuable yields from considerable efforts on STFW. But still if you can't hold the flames, go ahead, torch me. :^) RH 7.0 during shutdown gave me the following inserts to the logfile. <snip> eb 5 14:59:14 maple xinetd: xinetd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:14 maple atd: atd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:15 maple crond: crond shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:15 maple lpd: lpd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:15 maple identd: identd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 14:59:16 maple dd: 1+0 records in <------------------ Feb 5 14:59:16 maple dd: 1+0 records out <------------------ Feb 5 14:59:16 maple random: Saving random seed: succeeded Feb 5 14:59:16 maple autofs: automount -USR2 succeeded Feb 5 14:59:16 maple automount[446]: shutting down, path = /misc Feb 5 14:59:18 maple nfslock: lockd shutdown succeeded Feb 5 20:59:18 maple rpc.statd[395]: Caught signal 15, un-registering and exiting. Feb 5 14:59:18 maple nfslock: rpc.statd shutdown succeeded <snip> I had not started any dd in/out in progress before/during shutdown. Then what initiates this dd during shutdown? This was a normal shutdown, as part of usual routine. Is it sth like saving the *boot sector*/syncing the hard drive's important locations during shutdown? Thanks for your time, ------ ~AM ------ Mediocrity: It takes a lot less time. And most people won't notice the difference until it is too late.

deleting oversized messages without fetching them
by Abhir Joshi 07 Feb '03

07 Feb '03

When using fetchmail, how do I delete oversized messages from the server without actually fetching them? The man page of fetchmail doesn't help. I want fetchmail to issue "dele #n" command to the server for each oversized message. If fetchmail is unable to do it, is there any other way? -- Abhir Joshi http://education.vsnl.com/abhir/

simputers the "low cost" computing platform
by jtdsouza＠softhome.net 07 Feb '03

07 Feb '03

Visited the picopeta site after a long time. They actually had something to sell. You still hear the "lowcost" spiel from them off and on. Here is the price. Platinum: 10 Simputers, 20 SmartCards, 10 licenses for proprietary software (pricing: Rs. 190,000 in India, US $4,599 overseas) Gold: 5 Simputers, 10 SmartCards, 5 licenses for proprietary software (pricing: Rs. 98,500 in India, US $2,499 overseas) Silver: 2 Simputers, 5 SmartCards, 2 licenses for proprietary software (pricing: Rs. 49,000 in India, US $1,299 overseas) No mention of prices without the proprietory software. That they started the development on libre software and never lost an opportunity to tout the Linux link is a different story i suppose. rgds jtdsouza(a)softhome.net
