Domain Hosting on Cable
Is there a way that I can host all 4 domains I own on a cable connection? They are all low bandwidth domains, I just use them for email and a few web pages mostly. I'm going to be leaving my job and will no longer be able to host them there. I'd like to have them at home on my personal server and network, as I can manage them easier. I just don't know what options I have available as a cable internet user. Thanks. -=/>Thom -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Re: Domain Hosting on Cable
Check w/ your cable provider. A lot of cable providers do not allow hosting of any services on your connection, with the exception of maybe a game server. Some even block service ports, such as port 80 tcp and 25tcp from ever getting to your machine. Other than that, you have to deal with DHCP, and trying to maintain a way to keep your domain names pointed to your possibly changing IP address. That said, you shouldn't have any problems if you resolve the above ones. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE Well currently I have an alias of my FQDN of my cable modem to www, mail, and ftp.darksaber.com. It seems to be working well enough to get my list mail and stuff. I also run my quake3 server on it. I never checked with Rogers about any type of hosting, I guess it's time to do that. The alias seems to take care of the dynamic nature of my connection, although it's kinda static once it gets an IP. I've had the same one for two months now.

Is this an upgrade, or a fresh > installation? It is a fresh install. I've never been successful trying to print to a Lexmark Optra E312 on a Windows 2000 machine here on my lan. I've posted the question back when I was running 7.3 and received some help, but I was never able to make it go. The I managed to get it to go as far as the win2k machine accepting the print job, and the data light flashes on the printer about half a dozen times, then goes out. The print job fails to come out. So it's like the printer is aborting the print job. So now that I've done a fresh install of 8.0, I thought I'd take a stab at it with cups. I was messing about and now I've got it screwed up somehow. I did follow the previous thread closely on this, but my problem didn't seem to be the same. In a nutshell, I'd just like to be able to print to the laser printer on that win2k machine. Whether cups or lpd does it, doesn't really matter to me. One question, after I run redhat-switch-printer, and then I run redhat-print-config, does the gui screen look the same for both cups and lpd? Maybe it's not running the cups gui config for me.

If it is similar to the one Bell offers here in Canada, you get a card that plugs into the computer. There is special software that brings the card online and reconfigures your browsing. You still need a phone line and a dial-up isp. Any outbound packets go through the dialup to the sat station which then directs incoming information down the DTV stream. I'm not sure if two way is supported as of yet. If you have DTV at home, you can check channel 227 I think. They have the DWAY info channel on there. That might answer some preliminary questions. www.directv.com may also have some info on it. As a side note, last year my buddy was demoing the expressvu system next door to me. It was a really terrible setup and no matter how much you tried it wouldn't work very well. Bell sent a couple of techs out to check it over and they finally pulled it. But then a year in the computer and satellite industry is like 10 in anything else. YMMV. -- -=/>Thom Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) running Linux Kernel 2.4.18-17.8.0 Up: 9:41am up 4 days, 21:17, 1 user, load average: 1.73, 1.83, 2.42 Registered Linux User #214499 http://counter.li.org

It may work okay with http with that long of a delay, because it's not that chatty to require a quick reply. I've clicked links and waited several long seconds for a reply. FTP might be okay as long as the server doesn't have to resend alot of packets.

Scripting Question
Hello again all.
I have a scripting question I hope someone can answer and figure out for me.
I have finally built a full time game server at home running Psyche. I want
to run several games on it, like Quake 3, Jedi Knight 2, Medal of Honor and
a couple of others. I've been looking on the net for two weeks for a good
script that will check if a game is running, if it has died, it will restart
it. I found one but it doesn't seem to work. My complete lack of scripting
ability doesn't allow me to troubleshoot this very well. There was another
guy on the lists who was asking about game servers, but I can't remember who
it was. I'm hoping someone can see the error in this script, and possibly
make it more featured for me for use and adaptation onto my gaming server.
Here is what I have so far, from somewhere on the net that I can no longer
find.
#!/bin/sh
quake3dir="/usr/local/games/quake3"
binname="q3ded"
cd $quake3dir
process=`ps auxwww | grep q3ded | grep -v grep | awk '{print $12}'`
if [ -z process ]; then
echo "Couldn't find quake 3 running. Restarting it"
nohup q3ded +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg &
echo ""
fi
When I forst got the script, the #! was reversed, ie it was !#/bin/sh. That
was the first error I found and figured out on my own. But I'm lost now.
I understand some of the variables, as I also changed the binname one from
quake3 to the q3ded, which is the bin name of the server I am running.
The author claims to put this in a cron job on a 10 minute interval to make
sure the server has not died. I like that idea as the game will periodically
die out and require a reload.
I think the problem is in the process line. I tried typing it in manually
from a prompt, and it doesn't give me any output. It seems to just skip the
nohup line and finish the script without running the server.
I'd appreciate any input on this. At a later date to get fancier, I'd like
to record the pid so that I can kill it from cron too. I'd like to only have
the server running at night and I'd like to rotate through the different
servers on a weekly basis. I can figure out how to do that from the cron,
but I need to know the pid's of the server when it starts up.
Thanks for your help.

Try this:
#!/bin/sh
quake3dir="/usr/local/games/quake3"
binname="q3ded"
cd $quake3dir
process=`ps auxwww | grep q3ded | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ -z $process ]; then
echo "Couldn't find quake 3 running. Restarting it"
nohup ./q3ded +set dedicated 1 +exec server.cfg &
echo ""

Extremely easy. The process variable does exactly that, it records the
process ID. If you wanted to kill it, all you would have to do is something
like this:
process=`ps auxwww | grep q3ded | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ ! -z $process ]; then
echo "Quake3 process found, killing it w/ extreme prejudice"
kill -9 $process
echo ""
fi
Of course, this doesn't work as expected if you have multiple instances of
quake3 running. What you would really want to do is drop it into a for loop:
for process in `ps auxwww | grep q3ded | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'`
do echo "Quake3 process found, killing it w/ extreme prejudice";
kill -9 $process;
done
This will loop through every process returned that matches q3ded, and kills
it
with -9. If no process is found, nothing is killed.
Of course, this is all overkill, since "killall" and "pkill" expect a
process
name. killall -9 q3ded would accomplish the exact same thing.
Oh, cool. killall -9 q3ded would be what I want, as I would only ever have
one copy of q3ded running. I'd like to rotate different game servers on
different nights automatically. I'd rather not have more that one game
server running, to keep the performance up.
Thanks for your help.

Rsync @ Red Hat
Do you suppose that the purchase of an RHN subscription would get us access to redhat's rsync servers in addition to the instant ISO's? I was at around 450M of disc 1 and it died out and now I've lost the partial ISO. So I've hooked onto Duke to rsync them, that way I can resume better than with a browser window. Just an idea.

Impressions of Psyche
Some people are getting errors with the disk administrator during the install of Psyche. I did not receive them on either machine I've installed on thus far. My work machine here has a 20G hd as well as a 40G hd. The 20 is hda with win2000 on it. The 40 is Psyche as hdb. I made a 100M /boot partition, 1024M swap, and the remaining set up as /. It's working well so far. I'm very impressed with such a clean looking anaconda installer. The drop shadows on everything make it look so much better. I'm even getting used to the cartoon icons. One thing I did notice, is that a workstation class install fails to get me the pine package installed, along with pico which I use as my default editor of choice. Not a big deal. An up2date pine cures that in a hurry. I think I will be installing this on a demo machine to set out on the floor for customers. It's very nice looking and stable as anything. Might be a nice selling feature. -- -=/>Thom Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) running Linux Kernel 2.4.18-14 Uptime: 4:39pm up 7 min, 1 user, load average: 0.69, 0.53, 0.25 Registered Linux User #214499 http://counter.li.org

This is common with a new install. It runs nightly around 2am. If you
install your OS before that, it obviously won't runt until the first
nights cron tells it to.
I run it after a fresh install, and after installing or copying on a
large number of files.
Another way to find files is this.
# find / -name file-name-to-find
But locate file-name-to-find is nicer.
