Most likely your environment is different than the one of the user
running this cronjob
Therefore add an env debug statement to the crontab. Check your path to
the env binary.
It is  /usr/bin/env linked to opt/bin/env on my slug

33 23 * * *  /opt/bin/env > 1>/tmp/env.log 2>&1


You will then use env in your shell and dump output again to a file
env 1>~/env.log 2>&1

then diff both files

diff /tmp/env/log ~/env.log

and you will see that e.g. your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and other settings differ.
You need to adjust you settings either inside the crontab or source and
environment inside cron prior to executing nail.

Once done remove the env line in cron.

I don't know 'nail', so I'm just guessing:
Nail tries to find sendmail in the path ($PATH) and if it's not found there then
in /usr/lib. So it looks like
1. your path ($PATH) is different from the crontab's, and
2. sendmail is not in /usr/lib, but maybe /usr/sbin

If nail has some configuration files, then you can probably set the
sendmail-location there, if not then you can extend $PATH in your bash-script.

Thanks,

It returns me this :
$ cat /tmp/myLog.err
/usr/lib/sendmail: No such file or directory
. . . message not sent.

And I have this in nail bin :
$strings /usr/bin/nail | grep sendmail
sendmail
/usr/lib/sendmail

But I don't understand why it works in shell.

Thank you for your help

I don't see the cause, but maybe I can help you to find it:
Add to the end of your crontab line the following
  >/tmp/myLog.out 2>/tmp/myLog.err

By inspecting the two files after the defined time has passed you will most
probably find the problem.

Hello,

I made un script to send mail.
My script works executing in shell but not in crontab.
I also add full path for binaries but it's the same.

Can someone help me ?

***BASH SCRIPT send_mail.sh :

#!/opt/bin/bash

nail='/usr/bin/nail'
sleep='/bin/sleep'
echo='/bin/echo'


function mail_status ()
{
${sleep} 1
${echo} $1  $2 | ${nail} -s "save_sites_SQL_$1_$2" myemail@...;
#echo $? > /tmp/testestest_sendmail.txt
}

#### DEBUG TESTS ####

mail_status "Test" "succes";

***CRONTAB LINE :

33 23 * * * /opt/bin/bash /temp/testmail/send_mail.sh

Yes, /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 are tow partitions on the same disk.

I dont know how you have formatted your second disk, but I assume you used the
webGUI for it and therefore got two partitions on your second drive. So you have
to do a fsck on both of them:
/sbin/e2fsck /dev/sdb1
/sbin/e2fsck /dev/sdb2

I never used a usb hub for my disks, but I assume if it's a powered hub it
should be no problem to use it.

Hi,

Would like to use my ipod touch with the slug (unslung 6.8).

I read that lighttpd may help, is that true? If not please help, I am a bit of a
newby.

Regards,
Martien

I suppose the drive is not mounted. You can check this by connecting to the
NSLU2 via telnet and using the command 'mount'. If the partition of this disk is
not in the list, then it's most probably because the partition is marked as
'dirty'.
I would put the disk to your Linux Live CD-system and do a fsck (or /sbin/e2fsck
/dev/sd?? if you do it on the NSLU2).

regards, Roland

I've just installed the latest package, perl_5.8.8-22_powerpc.ipk and get the
same error.
This is my first attempt at using OptWare and I would really like to get Perl
working! I've tried to find older packages but without any luck.

Sorry my desktop is Windoze. The only devices I have that run Linux are three
NAS devices. Only one of them is dual core.

Ok, so does the failure for the percentages to tally up happen on any other
systems?

Is your desktop computer multi-core?  If so do you observe the same behaviour
you've described with atop on that as you do on your QNAP?

This would help identify whether the error is with atop in general or the
specific build you are using.

Well you've picked a mailing list for the NSLU2 which is a small _single_ CPU
NAS device (although the distros are used on some other NAS's).

What system are you using this on?  Presumably you're using a SlugOS variant as
you've installed an ipkg, but what stream have you obtained that from?

Does this happen on any other systems (i.e. alternative OS's on multi-core
computers) with multiple CPUs that you've tried this on?  If so its a problem
upstream (which by the sounds of it is unlikely to be fixed).

You won't be able to do this on the fly as the NSLU2 just doesn't have the oomph
required, even if you've added more RAM.  Your best bet is to rip the ISO on
your computer into a format that the PS3 supports then up it to your NSLU2,
since usuallly (well at least the way I do it) I will actually mount an ISO that
I've got on my hard-drive (as though it were a physical DVD) and then watch it.

Gurus,

I have the following problem with greek filenames.

* I have a USB flash formatted to ext3.
* When I connecting it to my NSLU2 running UNslung 6.10, I can share it
and access through my network using SAMBA.  In my network I have both
Windows and Ubuntu PCs.
* If I remove the flash from the NSLU2 and plug it to the Ubuntu machine
then the Greek filenames appear like ???????? together with a message
saying (invalid encoding)

Do you have any idea anout this?

tia

vasanag

Hi!

I have successfully installed uShare and it works like a charm for pictures and
mp3.

Is there a way to convert/stream iso formats so that the ps3 can see them?

BRG KP

Sorry for the breakage, I was trying to build perl with useithreads.
Just committed http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/10881
Please be patient as it'll take up to 10-12 hours before the new ipk shows up in
the feed.

Hello Brian,
after I installed "gnuplot" and "gnuplot-x11" from my cross environment I got
the "png" terminal working.
Now the next problem, "freetype" support was not compiled in the "gd" library.
In the file "slug/openembedded/packages/gd/gd_2.0.33.bb" I saw the line
"--without freetype \".
I changed the line to "--with freetype=${STAGING_LIBDIR}/.. \".
Then I tried to build with "make slugos-packages" - no success.
Next, I deleted all "gd*" stamps in "slugos/tmp/stamps/armv5teb-linux-gnueabi"
and tried again with "make slugos-packages" - no success.
Next, I tried in "slugos" "./setup-env;bb -b
openembedded/packages/gd/gd_2.0.33.bb". The answer was "The program 'bb' is
currently not installed".
Please give me a hint how to "build" myself a new "gd" package with freetype
support, or provide in the SlugOS5 repository a new "gd" version with included
"freetype" support.

Best regards, Rudolf
p.s. it looks to me, that in the SlugOS5 repository a lot of changes are made
compared to the SlugOS 4.8 repository.

installed with opkg the package "gnuplot", which I found under /opt/bin/gnuplot
(1.124.492 bytes, 31.05.2009), because it was not available under ipkg.
Unfortunately it did not support the terminal PNG, which the previous version
under SlugOS 4.8 supported /usr/bin/gnuplot (2.542.489 bytes, 17.01.2009).

Thank you Brian for your quick help.
I have learned now to setup a fresh SlugOS5 in order to avoid a mixup of
packages.

Don't ever mix OE ipkg's and optware ipk's. Don't use optware on SlugOS5 unless
you know how to cleanly separate them.

SlugOS5 uses /usr/bin/opkg and installs packages to /usr.

Optware uses /opt/bin/ipkg-opt and installs packages to /opt. I know some users
previously alias /opt/bin/ipkg-opt as opkg, please don't do that.

Hello Brian,

I just tried to port my application
http://rudiswiki.homelinux.org:8080/wiki/HeizungWebcam from SlugOS version 4.8
to 5.3.
There I need the program "gnuplot" in order to generate a PNG graphic. I
installed with opkg the package "gnuplot", which I found under /opt/bin/gnuplot
(1.124.492 bytes, 31.05.2009), because it was not available under ipkg.
Unfortunately it did not support the terminal PNG, which the previous version
under SlugOS 4.8 supported /usr/bin/gnuplot (2.542.489 bytes, 17.01.2009).
I have seen that the package "gnuplot-X11" is missing in SlugOS 5.3 opkg.
Because I had to compile a special driver (webcam) I setup  the openembedded
environment under Ubuntu (2009-03-07). There I found now all gnuplot packages,
also gnuplot-X11. To my surprise they are all setup in ipkg for /usr/bin,
instead of /opt/bin.

What is the reason for changing the path /usr/bin to /opt/bin and is it possible
to mix both ipkg packages without problem?

With best regards from a confused user,
Rudolf

The mount command can mount a filesystem by either UUID or label.  If
your particular SlugOS version doesn't support that, then you may have
to upgrade to a more recent version - but see what options are supported
by the mount command first.

Note that the "pseudo-auto-mounter" on SlugOS systems (which is a udev
script that mounts a disk on /media/sd<something>) will usually get in
the way when you do this.  You'll probably want to disable that. Add
"sd*" to the blacklist file located somewhere in the /etc/udev directory.
