Hi All,
I know my question has nothing to do with jython-scripting,
but i want to ask it anyway, cause support on the irc channel
is truely a piece of shit these days...
A few moments ago there where 211 users active in the Linux
channel, and nobody just reacted on my question, so i'm just
wondering what the hell is the advantage of being connected
when you're simply not active ??? Well okay, it must be me :-)
Okay, now the big question...
I installed SuSE 8.2 (without X to run as linux-samba-file-server).
That bastard is up and running now, only tooks me 30 min to
get the thingy going :-) want to see that happen in a windows-install
:-)
Installation... around 350MB, compared to 2GB for windowsXP....
Let's continue... we have a cisco router and cisco pix firewall, and
the router is making the connection to the internet, but because
our router is not the newest we're not able to keep that connection
alive. To be able to do that, we should upgrade our router with new
software, but that software needs more memory (in the router) and
there is no need to say this is a freaking expensive option :-(
So i want another solution, so i created a python-script that does
a ping every 15 minutes, but the problem is, it is started in etc/init.d
and then runlevel 3 or 5. But this means that the server is booting
until it reach the login-screen, but the ping of my python-script is
overwriting the whole screen so that i have to press enter to even
be able to see the login-prompt again, but when i do, it for some or
other reason breaks my script (i don't know why) and the connection
is not keeped alive anymore.
So i want a tool, setting or whatever is possible to just keep that
connection alive without my python-script-ping-problem.
Anybody any suggestion beside upgrading the router ?
This should not be THAT damned hard i suppose... so reply and
make my freaking day :-))))
Cheers
Patrick
