vent kill from trying to kill a non-existant (or entirely new, but that's unlikely) process. The "ps aux" pipeline, including the grep, will have finished before "kill -9" starts, since kill needs the output for its command line args. Neat trick though. I'll have to remember that. - Chris

If I had a zone file that big I'ld chop the domain up into subdomains to spread out the DNS work. Unless you're talking about hundreds of pages, a normal text editor should be fine. At 10:35 PM 5/3/00 +1000, Adam Cassar wrote: >How are isp's with large zone file entires managing their existing zo

It looks like all you want is just a Linux router. A gateway joins two or more disimilar networks, I believe. Like ethernet<->token ring or ATM<->FDDI. Check out the following packages : zebra ipchains There are other ones that I can't think of right now. :) I'm pretty sure there is a linux r

The "database" is the table of raw data and an index. Apache can be made to write its log file in the form of a table, via customlog. Why use a pipe for something that Apache can do nativly? Unless you want up to the second SQL-ified stats, just run savelog daily to rotate the logs. Now unleash
