Thanks for your pointers. Almost time to quit for holiday (Shavous), so this will be resumed monday. I think I see how to proceed. I have two A@H systems, replace one wiht Trixbox and see what if haves, if not shotgun everything I need onto other box, move the files over and make install....

If you want init to shutdown the service for you, you need a lock file in /var/lock/subsys with the same name as your main script. Just have the start routine touch it and the stop routine remove it. -- Bowie

Assistance with startup script
by Sam Drinkard 01 Jun '06

Could someone give me some assistance in getting this startup script to conform to chkconfig and such where the service will start up after networking comes up, and then shut down when networking goes away? Where all do entries need to be made, and what would they consist of? Many thanks.....

libtiff build error
by Robert Moskowitz 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

OK. Trying to build libtiff here. Info from http://www.asteriskguru.com/tutorials/spandsp.html Libtiff from tar: ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff 3.8.2 put tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz in /root then tar -zxvf tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz followed by: /configure make clean make But the make had the following error: ./libtool: line 837: g++: command not found make[2]: *** [tif_stream.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 and make install did not work: Making install in port make[1]: Entering directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/port' make[2]: Entering directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/port' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'. make[2]: Nothing to be done for `install-data-am'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/port' make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/port' Making install in libtiff make[1]: Entering directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' source='tif_stream.cxx' object='tif_stream.lo' libtool=yes \ DEPDIR=.deps depmode=none /bin/sh ../config/depcomp \ /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -c -o tif_stream.lo tif_stream.cxx libtool: compile: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -c tif_stream.cxx -o .libs/tif_stream.o ./libtool: line 837: g++: command not found make[1]: *** [tif_stream.lo] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 So what is missing? And where do I start from. It looks like things are not 'broken' from how far it got.

latest kernel-devel,kernel-smp-devel install vs. update
by Tony Schreiner 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

WIth the latest kernel 2.6.9-34.0.1 the kernel-devel is an install, but kernel-smp-devel is an update for example $ sudo yum update kernel\* --disablerepo=dell-software -- disablerepo=jpackage-generic Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package kernel-smp-devel.i686 0:2.6.9-34.0.1.EL set to be updated ---> Package kernel-devel.i686 0:2.6.9-34.0.1.EL set to be installed ---> Package kernel.i686 0:2.6.9-34.0.1.EL set to be installed ---> Package kernel-smp.i686 0:2.6.9-34.0.1.EL set to be installed --> Running transaction check Dependencies Resolved ======================================================================== ===== Package Arch Version Repository Size ======================================================================== ===== Installing: kernel i686 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL update 10 M kernel-devel i686 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL update 3.7 M kernel-smp i686 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL update 9.9 M Updating: kernel-smp-devel i686 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL update 3.7 M Transaction Summary ======================================================================== ===== Install 3 Package(s) Update 1 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 28 M Is this ok [y/N]: n I would like for both devel packages to be installed rather than updated. Looking back in the archives, this happened before. It was suggested to use installonlypackages=kernel-smp-devel I have put this line in my CentOS-Base.repo file, in the updates section, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Is that the right place? Thanks, Tony Schreiner Boston College

If I recall a similar circumstance all I needed to do was to drop the script in /etc/init.d/ and do a chkconfig --add <name of script> and then it was ready to rock. alex

CentOS 4.3 Server spontaneously rebooting (over and over again)
by Rob van Eerd 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi there, This post has also been posted in the Hardware and General forums but I thought it might be wise to post it here as well! My CentOS 4.3 (upgraded from CentOS 4.2 installed from Linux Magazine's April 2006 issue) server is rebooting spontaneously (over and over again). It started while I was copying from USB-device (iPod) to another USB-device (Freecom Portable-Hard-disk) but it happens now even when both devices aren't plugged in. I noticed it reboots most of the time during the boot process around the messages: "Starting udev:" and "Initializing hardware". I tried rebooting into single user mode without any luck and even starting with the Installation DVD (from Linux Magazine's April 2006 issue) gives me the same results. In doing so I noticed that it took a might long time to load my SCSI drivers and after removing both SCSI adapters (just connected for oldish CD- and tape-drives) it got a little better for just a few hours. Now my system is back to his anoying reboot habbit during the boot-process I've juggled around with the memory because sometimes the reboot occurred during initialization of the RAM disks. I was also starting to think that it may have to do something with networking activity because when it (only now and then) comes up properly, I can login (straight from the console) but as soon as I try to send something across the network (for instance my /var/log/message* files) the server reboots again. However removing the NIC (including the configuration) didn't solve my problem I've attached my lateste message file for reference. I've managed to get that off the system using a simple USB-stick. When trying to get it off using SCP or something alike, my server rebooted. Can anyone point me into the right direction to tame this beast? Thanks for any help! Regards, Rob van Eerd Rosmalen, Netherlands

CentOS 3.5 system hanging
by Mark Belanger 31 May '06

31 May '06

Our very large and very complex application is running on CentOS 3.5 and Solaris. The CentOS machines are hanging about once per day. By "hanging" I mean the system is completely unresponsive either from the console or remotely via ssh. Totally locked. Does anyone have any tips for troubleshooting this sort of problem? -Mark -- Mark Belanger LTX Corporation

OT - yum missing from a RHEL4 server???
by kevin＠kevinkempterllc.com 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hi List; Sorry for the OT post. However I suspect if anyone outside of RH can help with this question it would be this list. I'm starting a new contract with a shop that knows little about Linux and I'm helping pave the way. I've "inherited" an existing Linux install (RHEL4). I want to setup some tools but I find that yum is not installed. Is this normal for a RH box ? I thought that the RH up2date tool used yum under the covers. Anyhow, is there an easy way to get yum installed on this box ? I do have VNC access - and I can run KDE in the VNC connection even though according to the add/remove software tool KDE is not installed by changing the xstartup file forthat user under ~/.vnc (wierd!!) I suspect the answer is to find & download a yum rpm for redhat and install it via rpm but I want to be sure I dont do something stupid on a client system. Thanks in advance...
