00:58:48Neuromanteis away: no toy
01:21:57Neuromanteis back (gone 00:23:05)
15:47:49anderseeis away: eating breakfast
16:47:39anderseeis back (gone 00:59:47)
17:52:35softweyrandersee: thanks for the quick email response.  ;^)
17:55:28anderseesoftweyr: no prob
17:55:30andersee:)
18:03:53softweyrbuilding now...
18:16:40anderseesoftweyr: so are you doing Linux stuff these days?  using uClibc?
18:58:26anderseeMorning BZFlag
18:58:34anderseeor rather, afternoon
19:48:59softweyrandersee: yes, to both.
19:49:20softweyroh, actually, we're using busybox on 2 platforms but uClibc on only one.
19:49:49softweyrwe weren't sure how robust and fast the thread library is on uClibc for our "big" platform.
19:50:12softweyrwe also use tinylogin and utelnetd (now) on the PPC platform.
19:50:27anderseesoftweyr: cool
19:50:45anderseesoftweyr: BTW, utelnetd is now in busybox 0.61 pre...
19:50:56softweyrandersee: cool.
19:51:11softweyrwe'll need to update to 0.61 once it hits release.
19:51:31softweyrmeeting... back in 20 mins or so.
19:52:28softweyrmeeting postponed.
19:52:47softweyrour "expansion" boxes have 2x 2.4GHz P4's with 8 or 16 GB RAM.
19:52:56softweyrthat's why we're on Linux now.  ;^)
20:00:31anderseeAhh
20:00:42anderseeBit tricky to do that with freeBSD. :)
20:02:13anderseeI've been intending to do a freeBsd port for some time now.  Never gotten around to it.
20:02:36anderseeWith the 0.61 series, the infrastructure is in place to actually make it work
20:51:06BZFlagandersee: hmm... does askfirst get a controlling tty?
20:51:37BZFlagand is there any diff between a ^: entry and a ^tty1: entry?
20:52:32BZFlagis tty1 then considered a "controling tty" ?
20:54:00anderseeBZFlag: yes.  askfirst does get a controlling tty.
20:54:24anderseeBZFlag: With askfirst I assume it will be used interactively, so it gets a ctty
20:55:09sandmanwhere's the problem with *always* providing a ctty like sysvinit does ?
20:55:28anderseeRight now, I decided whether an init action needs a ctty depending on the type of action.
20:55:33anderseesandman: do they?
20:55:49anderseesandman: I thought they did not provide one for respawn actions
20:56:11sandmansorry -- I thought you said so in your mail
20:56:21sandmanjust forget this comment then ;)
20:57:28BZFlagif there is a device listed, can't that be set as the ctty?
20:58:41BZFlagshould probably look at the code. =)
22:33:48BZFlagseems to me if there is a device listed, we should try setting it to ctty. If that fails, then continue anyway. I think it would fail for devices like null, yes? so:
22:34:43BZFlagnull::respawn:/sbin/tuxphone
22:34:48BZFlagwould still be ok.
22:35:42BZFlagsome may want "::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS" and some may like "console::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS" ;-)
22:39:36anderseeBZFlag: that is probably a reasonable solution
