ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer cedwards: hello ***: schmir has joined #arpnetworks dxtr: What's up? cedwards: not much. just getting into work. dxtr: How come my server stopped doing cron jobs?
i've got one cron job (1am every day) for root that isn't run and one cron job for my regular user (every 5 minutes) that isn't run ziyourenxiang: is your cron daemon running? dxtr: Yep
dexter@bowser:~ $ ps aux|grep cron
root 719 0.0 0.2 6920 988 ?? Ss 19Mar10 0:19.85 /usr/sbin/cron -s ziyourenxiang: hmm, dunno, never had cron not work on me before. DaCa: /var/cron/log might give a clue dxtr: DaCa: Doesn't say shit actually :/
No errors, no nothing
Looks like everything is okay there cedwards: are zfs snapshots on regular intervals a good way to keep incremental backups of jails?
i think it is time for a pre-work nap bob^^: dxtr: paths?
i've broken paths before which has broken cronjobs (as cron can't find the commands, etc) dxtr: I use full paths
And yes, I know they are correct ***: vtoms has joined #arpnetworks

mart1n_ is now known as mart1n up_the_irons: anyone know of a monitoring solution that will "learn" what is a "good" threshold and what is "bad" and then alert based on that?
my friend is finding nagios too "static"
like lower traffic for the weekend is OK, but traffic that low for the week can be condition for alert. technically, you can do this in nagios, but it becomes cumbersome to maintain jdoe: similarly, learning systems can learn bad behaviour too.
if it were my system I'd set different alert conditions by time.
... to answer the question you actually asked though (;)) no suggestions, sorry.
how often does he expect his traffic to change that dramatically though?
I mean if it's changing often enough for updating nagios to be a pain, any learning system is going to be just as wrong. ***: RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: yeay - figured out how to make my airport extreme at home tunnel my he.net ipv6, so now I have v6 at home
between that and miredo, I can use ipv6 everywhere now up_the_irons: jdoe: i c
RandalSchwartz: my airport extreme tunneled automatically (finds 6to4 anycast router). did this method not work well for u? ***: heavysixer has joined #arpnetworks
ChanServ sets mode: +o heavysixer RandalSchwartz: gotta love it... testing ipv6 connectivity, ran this:
socat -v tcp6-l:9999,reuseaddr,fork system:'date'
it's a little date client running on port 9999 v6 up_the_irons: nice -: jdoe is boring and uses telnet RandalSchwartz: well yeah, you test it with "telnet thathost 9999"
if you can get to it, you have v6
socat is *really* amazing though up_the_irons: tacos RandalSchwartz: oh yeah, it does spell that backwards :) up_the_irons: hehe
i recently realized that too jdoe: up_the_irons: hmm. Looks like you missed a ptr record for 174.136.97.245, do you want a ticket for that or is asking in here enough? ***: jdoe_ has joined #arpnetworks
jdoe_ has quit IRC (Client Quit) cedwards: how can I 'portmaster -af', but ignore one port? up_the_irons: jdoe: ticket please jdoe: ok. mike-burns: cedwards: -x cedwards: mike-burns: I ended up using 'touch /var/db/pkg/<package>/+IGNOREME' mike-burns: Ah, interesting. cedwards: portmaster then prompts ith a 'this is marked ignore. build anyway? [n]' mike-burns: I had no idea. Is that in the ports(7) manpage? cedwards: portmaster manpage. mike-burns: Ah. cedwards: learn something new everyday Wraithan: You guys know about ~. in SSH? mike-burns: Yup. cedwards: yep. use it regularly. mike-burns: I have to use it far too often. Wraithan: I just learned it (among the other ones) cedwards: Wraithan: did you know about ~? in ssh? Wraithan: I've always just killed the terminal and re-ssh'd
cedwards: just learned it cedwards: strange the things you pick up that seem so simple.
i've got an admin i've worked with for about two years who didn't know pgup in the shell (shift-pgup)
he'd pipe *everything* through less instead. Wraithan: haha
Well you work with what you've got cedwards: true
i think i'll turn on Shaun of the Dead to wind down tonite :) Wraithan: Like I never imagined there was an escape sequence to drop an SSH session cedwards: i still say ssh is the greatest achievement of humankind. space travel? pfft.
a good terminal and ssh comprise 95% of my day. Wraithan: Used to be that way for me
Now I use emacs with it's GUI instead of via a terminal cedwards: even now I'm on my EeePC with FreeBSD 8.0, dwm and urxvt{d,c}. All I need.
sweet. ccache+distcc and I just rebuilt every port on this machine in 12m lucky: The first computer I used was a Mac.

nerdd has joined #arpnetworks RandalSchwartz: ugh - upgrading perl 5.10 to perl 5.10.1 just lost me two hours of my webserver :)
but now I know the proper way to do it
an "in-place" upgrade fails jdoe: not feeling 5.12? RandalSchwartz: you have to save a package list, shut down all services, uninstall perl *and* all its depends, then install perl and one by one install the depends
no port for 5.12 yet ***: Aila has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out) jdoe: haha. That's generally how I upgrade perl :P ***: Aila has joined #arpnetworks
dxtr has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
dxtr_ has joined #arpnetworks jdoe: oh, freebsd. Yeah. I got the feeling when I did 5.8 -> 5.10 that it wasn't something they really encouraged.
... and in fairness that's almost what had to be done for 5.8 -> 5.10
the upgrade in place worked, sorta, you just had to rebuild everything that even looked at perl afterwards. RandalSchwartz: yeah... well, now that's the new plan :)
I was trying to avoid 15 minutes of downtime
and ended up spending an hour trying to figure out how to recover -: RandalSchwartz wanders off lucky: Still no word on the VPS shortage? jdoe: RandalSchwartz: ha
