Why not install cron and run it out of there.  I have it setup and its
working flawlessly.

Subject: Korn Shell from CMD


Hi all,
I've brought a script across from AIX, it's written in Korn. I've made some 
changes, and have been testing it via cygwin. What I've been doing is 
opening cygwin, and changing to the scripts directory, and running it from 
there. ie
cd /dir/script.sh
./script.sh
That was all fine, and it runs perfectly like that - however, now I need to 
make the script run automatically - and would like to do this via NT 
Scheduler. My issue is however, that when I try to create the batch file to 
run it as per suggestion from previous posts, it doesn't work I get all 
kinds of errors with the script, like the `date` command not working. The 
first line of the script is : #!/bin/ksh could this cause the issue I'm 
seeing?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Linden

RE: problem starting cron as a service

2003-07-21 Thread Bowden, Todd 
You have to install it as a service in order to see in from a Windows
perspective.

cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D
Cygrunsrv -S cron

net start | grep -i cron

I see it in my Services.  Why wouldn't you see it in yours

The doc /usr/doc/Cygwin/cron.README tells you how to install it.

Oops ... my bad.

It's running; it's just not displayed as running as a service to windows. ps
-x -f shows the grand truth. That being the case, doesn't cron startup
really belong in rc.local? Umm ... does rc.local even get called on system
boot?

Ok, I missed the -D param. Just going from the man pages, cron takes no
params. I also didn't find any info regarding running cron as a service in
the /usr/doc's. So, as always, it's the littlest things that bite.

Any idea regarding my previous post about ImageMagick?

thanks mucho,

RE: apache dies with pppoe

2003-07-24 Thread Bowden, Todd 
Can I ask what your environment looks like?

PC <---> FW/Router  <--> DSL Modem <->  Internet


Maybe that would help us out in figuring out what is going on.

This doesn't make sense that your apache web server is dying on your PC if
your PC has a
fixed IP than your webserver should just run and run.  However if your setup
is different than 
above than we might have another problem.  If the environment above is what
you have and your IP is fixed.  Your FW/Router should have nothing to do
with what problem your are having on your system.

What happens when you install a binary Win32 version of apache, does it die
too?

Subject: RE: apache dies with pppoe


Ok ... let me back even further.

The problem is that when I open up port 80 (on my f/w router) and start
accepting outside connections (to the 'puter running Apache,) it appears as
though (after some period of time) Apache stops listening or accepting
connections, including from the LAN. If I restart Apache everything is fine
again - for a while. Based on other web/news group chatter, I believe this
problem is related to my DSL time-out and WAN IP changing.

Now follow closely ... this is where I believe I'm on-topic here 

Other's using other OS's (Linux) have devised schemes (like enhanced
scripting in if.cfg-ppp) to restart Apache when this happens. I've spent
more than a few hours looking at this problem (before making the original
post) and maybe the DSL modem time-out is not the issue - but at the moment
it seems to be the only explanation.

So, simple question ... are there already CYGwin net utilities that I might
use solve this problem  from the angle I'm currently focusing (restart
Apache when DSL time-out forces WAN IP change) ... right or wrong?


In response to Martin:

I won't even bother to comment here. Oops .. I guess I just did :)

> If you acquire a device which handles adjusting Dynamic Addressing and 
> Routes the incoming (and outgoing)

I have just such a device configured as so. The word "outgoing" was not in
your original reply for me to pay attention to and I'm not sure how it
applies - please explain. Even if the DSL modem connection timed out and the
IP changed during and http client/server transaction (which it's not going
to,) I'm not sure how that would effect Apache.

> Port 80 transmissions to the PC which hosts the Web Server (because

My configuration is as so, usually clients can connect. However, when my DSL
modem IP address changes due to time out ... Apache stops severing, or so I
believe.


Thanks,

Bill

RE: apache dies with pppoe

2003-07-24 Thread Bowden, Todd 
I know on my FW/Router (Linksys) I can disable DHCP, can you do that with
yours?  If so than disable your DHCP server on your FW/Router and have a
fixed IP address only on your PC.  Also Is there a option in your FW/router
to send Keep alive packets, to maintain your IP address on your FW/router?

I agree ... note that the problem can be systematicly recreated by opening
port 80 on my FW.

I don't believe that it is the FW/Router either. I believe it has more to do
with how my DSL modem times-out, thus forcing an IP change.

I don't know and I'm not sure I'm ready to find out yet either. It still may
be a configuration issue (and I'm going to look at that again right now,)
but the fact that it does "run and run" until I open it up (to the Internet)
is perplexing.

mkpasswd -d -u   >> /etc/passwd

This would not get everyone in your domain.
