cool, s/ip. pubkey sent...
Guess that key wasn't in there. :)
up_the_irons: Ever work with any Juniper equipment?
Also, what are you using to route IPv4?
i think ihad swine flu
and now it's gone
well i had something
That's exciting.
very
eldest son also got it, he's more or less well now. Four days off school.
what were your symptoms
sore throught, headache, aches, congestion in upper chest / a little gurgling inside / fever for him, not for me, some cough. Comes on fast.
i wish i could get rid of sore throats instantly
s/throught/throat/
Feelin' tired; barely got any work done all week... and on that note I'm going to go make some tea
dongs
mhoran: have not worked with Juniper, except drool over them.  IPv4 is routed by a Cisco 4500 w/ SUPIV
up_the_irons: Ah, nifty.
Yeah, I'd like to work with a Juniper sometime.
We had one in the lab at Cisco but nobody knew how to use it and it wasn't hooked up.
haha, Cisco had some Juniper gear in a closet, nice
Heh. Yup.
Fuckign monit. What a shitty piece of software.
oh certainly, monit is garbage
runit is the way to go
Interesting.
runit has one job -- to keep a process running
Heh.
you can trust it to do that
Does it just do pid checks or can it do more advanced things like HTTP?
Our AOLservers like to die.
mhoran: no, pid check is the way *not* to manage a process, because that's akin to "ps auxw | grep <PID>", subject to race conditions, etc...  It manages a process because it is the parent of that process.  Only in that way can you fully control a process
Nifty.
then controlling the process is easy, like:
"sv stop my-proggy"
sv start
sv status
etc ...
Ah, right.
If I dump monit, I still need a way to be alerted of service restarts, and to do those HTTP checks and reboots.
and you can set groups that have access to individual supervisors, so there can be a group "web-admins" that can control *this* and "dns-admins" that can control *that*
That's nice.
mhoran: yeah, runit won't focus on those as much
Still, looks pretty solid.
i run it (pun!!) on a lot of boxes, never was disappointed
Of course, if runit dies, you're fucked.
:(
(I guess if init dies, I'm screwed too.)
cronjob a check to confirm runit is running
Yep.
monit could easily be replaced with some cronjobs and runit.
I like it!
mhoran: you set runit to start in /etc/inittab (old way) or /etc/event.d (newer Debian / Ubuntu)
mhoran: so it always stays running
Right.
even if you kill it, it'll restart
Yeah.
it's very "unixy", look at the cool stuff I can do:
$ for i in host1 host2 host3; do ssh $i sv status vm-management; done
run: vm-management: (pid 11031) 133590s; run: log: (pid 12944) 1926719s
run: vm-management: (pid 10962) 133570s; run: log: (pid 21526) 205819s
run: vm-management: (pid 4438) 124502s; run: log: (pid 4437) 124502s
$
(host names changed to protect the innocent ;)
That's nice.
cd $office
no wonder my vm came up quickly when you killed it the other month (at my request of course)
toddf: did you try the new console?  you can now kill and start your VM yourself ;)  Not that I expect you to jump at that option...
I will, but not yet, dealing with a cap growth issue at my parents house in their economy puters

what a trick
that's just EVIL
what trick?
showing all that but only selling the barebone
jeev: hah, yeah
it's mobo and case i guess
yeah
jeev: thing is, i don't see all too much the value add for screwing in the MB ;)  you can buy the case and MB separate, and save money
yea
eww
my kvm box oopsed on me!
general protection fault: 0000 [#2] SMP
gizay
it was working with 2.6.32-rc3
up_the_irons, you know what KSM is
jeev: nope
apparently it makes it possible for you to be able to run more guests than before
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KSM
jeev: i imagine that would be an overall goal anyway
how many do you think i could stuff on a E5420 with 8 gigs of ram
just curious, probably gonna use it to set up a mail server for something unrelated to my shit
CoW memory across VMs, yeah this concept has been done before
jeev: obviously, that depends on how much RAM you give to each VM
yea i know but CPU wise
depends how much load you put on each VM
:>
there is no general answer
