I'm running CentOS 4.4. I'm trying to install swatch (a log watcher) using CPAN. It's getting hung up on trying to install a dependency, Pod::Simple So before I get too wrapped up in this, I have the following questions: 1. Is there an alternative way to install swatch? I didn't get a hit when I tried yum. 2. I'm not wedded to swatch. Is there another log checker

Hi, I'm using CentOS 4.3 on all my PC's, and I'm very happy with it. Everything *just* works. I want to give DVD::RIP 0.97.10 a try. I enabled rpmforge and kbs repos, but there's only 0.52.2 available, which has an annoying bug in it. So I installed the main dependency, transcode, via yum. Then I downloaded the (PERL) sources of DVD::RIP 0.97.10, ran configure (e. g. perl

yes, i've read the online docs and followed a link or two to find a simple way to do this, such as: http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/SystemTapOnCentOS so, these days, is that the canonical way to download source rpms? now, note that i'm not arguing about whether this is a good idea. in my circumstances, i want the ability to just "yum download" source rpms so that i can

I've purchased an LG DVD Burner (GSA-E60L) External super Multi DVD Rewiter for my PE2950 Dell Server attached via USB. Can someone guide me to set up the DVD with Linux, and which tools should I use to burn DVD?

Hey folks, Maybe there is a Perl/CPAN list that is a better place to ask this? If so, maybe someone can point me to it. Anyway, I want to be able to script the installation of a bunch of CPAN modules, and the first basic problem I am coming up against is that the "cpan" command seems to always return 0 regardless of whether or not the install completed. Google does not bring up a

Hi all, I'm using Debian, I want to make a local repository which can let me install packages more conveniently. Considering that the rsync tool is the Debian official proposed tool for syncing the files among its different rsync server sites, I use the rsync client to downloading the deb packages from the different rsync servers distributed around the world-wide for good loadbalancing and

I have a server that frequently hangs while rebooting. I see no errors, but during the boot process it stops at this stage: Initializing hardware... storage network audio The cursor sits just after the word "audio" and I have to do a hard reset to get out of it. This server has no audio capabilities, so I am thinking that I just need to disable the audio stuff so it doesn't

Introduction ============ This RFC proposes a mechanism to dump arbitrary messages into object files during compilation and retrieve them from the final executable. Background ========== We often need to collect information from all object files of applications. For example: - Mircea Trofin needs to collect information from the function inlining pass so that he can train the machine

I have two identical servers. The only difference is that the first one has Maxtor 250G drives and the second one has Seagate 320G drives.

Nothing spectacular, but good enough. The second one

I need a SCSI card to attach a tape library to my system. I am looking at the Adaptec 29320A-R. Can anyone confirm that this card will work with the stock CentOS 4 kernel? -- Bowie

Hello, I'm having a question related to the system command within R: I try to evoke a perl script from within R with something like system(paste('perl myscript.pl', some parameters ....,sep=" ") This works just fine as long as I do not use any additionally installed Perl module, as this leads to a "Can't locate Statistics/Descriptive.pm in @INC ....."

Does anyone know of a cheap temperature sensor that will work with Linux? I don't need a fancy monitoring appliance, I just want a simple sensor that I can connect to one of my monitoring servers to let me know if the server room is getting hot. -- Bowie

I am looking for a simple backup program that I can use to backup a CentOS box to a local tape drive. Hopefully someone here can give me a recommendation. This is what I need: - Simple launching of manual backups (preferably from the command line) - Ability to span tapes for a large backup - Proper treatment of hardlinked files - Notification via email or similar when it is

I have been asked to update OpenLDAP to the latest stable version. I am using CentOS 4.2 and have OpenLDAP 2.2.13 installed. I can install from source if I have to, but I would rather stay with rpm packages if possible. I found an rpm from Fedora Core Development on RPMFIND. Will this one work with Centos, or should I grab the source rpm and rebuild it? Bowie
