so what's the babysitting daemon of choice?
I have a fragile process that I want always running
so I need a robust daemon above it
I could use init(8) I guess
but wondering if there's a better solution
RandalSchwartz: runit
we're talking freebsd too, in case it matters
runit isn't core
and I'd prefer nothing by DJB infest my system
+1
i dislike djb's stuff
it's not from djb
oh - it's a replacement for djb's stuff
i guess you could modify the startup script to only start if not already running, then just shove it in cron
*/1 or sth
it works well, I use it, up_the_irons uses it, ymmv
bit hacky but might work :)
yeah, there might be a minute delay though
runit looks interesting, but replacing process 1 looks... scary
ahh - there's a "use with traditional init" solution
don't do that then, it works perfectly without replacing init
yeah, I see that. :)
oooh .. runit is broken on HEAD
hehe
RandalSchwartz: runit is the way to go
ok
even though it's broken for HEAD? :)
I wonder what utmpx is
RandalSchwartz: hmm, i just use whatever version that comes packaged
yeah, but that's the one that's flagged as broken for HEAD, meaning the next release of fbsd
hopefully someone will fix it before a new release
i c
I'll give it an install in my virtualbox image first... see how disruptive it is
Hmm.  haven't updated my ports since aug 28 there... this'll take a while
"fetching 74 new ports or files"
I do that once a week or so
fetch 74 files? )
Yeah :D
Btw, RandalSchwartz. I learned something new today! How to properly close emacsclients :p
I joined to just give a Kudos for how stable and fast the VPS I ordered is, pure awesome.
A+++ up_the_irons!
;)
I just had to!
no one else has problems with ipv6 disconnecting ?
from irc
15:53:15 < sheath> no one else has problems with ipv6 disconnecting ?
15:53:20 < sheath> from irc
16:15:34 irc: disconnected from server
Heh.
Hmm
I just can't get ipv6 to work
why not
Arch doesn't seem to like it :(
ah
up_the_irons :(
I didn't have any routing to my VPS for a couple of minutes before!
can I get the IPv6 assigned to my server ? w/ RDNS Delegation ? Or should I open a ticket for that ?
Hmm..
I don't see a ticketing system on the portal.. how to do I create a ticket ?
just email support@arpnetworks.com
yeah you'll need to email for rdns delegation
to create a ticket, "start a discussion"
darn it - my IP address is blocked sending to all google apps. :(
and there doesn't appear to be any way to fix it at google's end.
proxy?
well - yeah, but I would also want to know why they think I'm *now* a spam source and didn't a few weeks ago.
there's no info in the rejection notice, except about bulk mailers.
I've never been a bulk mailer from this address.
Cr4zi3: there is a link entitled "Help Desk" in the Portal, that's the ticketing system; but support@arpnetworks.com is also the same thing
irons; thnx.. did you get my email that I sent ?
up_the_irons
Cr4zi3: probably
for IPv6 and RDNS delegation
if you sent it to support, it's in the system
Cr4zi3: btw, if you don't know how to deal with routing a /48 over a link-local address, we will not route the /48 to you; that configuration is for expert users only
well I have setup HE IPv6 tunnels before..
but I can easily find out what I need to do also..
is that the same setup ?
the uplink is HE, correct ?
Cr4zi3: Our IPv6 has nothing to do with HE.  HE is one of our peers, but there are others.  What I'm afraid of is I'll set up the /48 routing and you will not know how to deal with it, thereby sending additional support tickets.  This is why the /64 is the default and "just works"
Cr4zi3: basically the Portal settings for IPv6 will be updated with the new information, and it is up to you to figure it out
yea, I'm already working on tryin to figure it out.. ;)
I've never had a customer not have problems with the /48, except for toddf  ;)
Cr4zi3: so if you still want the /48 routed, know that you are "on your own"; i will not answer any questions about it.  so let me know if you still want to go that route
(no pun intended, lol)
lemme do some research, and I will let you know..
Cr4zi3: ok
could you tell me what the link-local if would look like by chance ? I think I have the info I need.. but I want to read up some more..
ok, I'm willing to give it a try..
