ml>> patching process... in a few cases, i've even called
ml>> them on the phone and talked to them directly telling
ml>> them who i was, what i was doing, and why... you
ml>> should hear some of their comments when i tell them
ml>> certain steps (like placing a file in a certain place
ml>> and they see it pop into existance via drag and drop
ml>> from my desktop! or when i send the shutdown command)
ml>> that i'm doing... there are times that i really wish
ml>> that i could see and capture their facial
ml>> expressions...
ML> Sorry for my twisted humor personality, but you remember back
ML> when I think it was Jack Lemmon played the Devil, had turned
ML> this poor soul into a parrot? He didn't like it's looks, so
ML> he wrenched the beak around qrotesquely, looked at it with a
ML> tilted head like a parrot does, and then commented out of the
ML> side of his mouth, "Definitely Piccasso!" ;)
yup!! i don't exactly remember the "skit" but the statement is rightous!
[trim]
ML> I can reason this load-linee out mentally..
yup, seems so...
ml>> or whatever... i guess it may also help that that box
ml>> runs quite a few tasks all the time... from a clean
ml>> boot, CTRL-ESC shows twenty-three (23) tasks running
ml>> and those are running all the time as that machine's
ml>> server ops that i employ here...
ML> But in this case, we're dealing with a problem, I think, at
ML> core level in the Kernel that sneaked in here at W40508 level.
ok... i don't know if you are aware of it or if i've stated it during these
exchanges, my system is warp 3 connect w/fp40 only... nothing else applied...
the default warp 3 connect tcp/ip and mpts unless something in fp40 changed
something in them...
ML> It wasn't there for the original level of FP 15. Showed up
ML> when I upgraded the Kernel only. I didn't get it caught in
ML> time and figured out to report it in Testcase officially. In
ML> the couple of months it took me isolate a trap like this that
ML> doesn't even trap the box and leaves no way to trace it,
ML> things went far forward from W40508. Plus, who in heck wants
ML> to work with the Adaptec 1542C level cards which is the only
ML> place I see it? As well, I'm not at all sure the Kernel is
ML> really even the cause, as I've sorta now pinned it on the
ML> SYSTEM checking CANARY deal from Norman in conjunction with
ML> this.
errrhummmmm... CANARY?? i understand that norman is a virus scanner, correct?
ML> To date Norman hasn't even answered the support help
ML> request... ;(
oh, doesn't that leave warm fuzzies <<SIGH>>
ML>> I'm cable hosted. ....
ml>> uuugh... that does toss in a bit of a sticky wicket,
ml>> eh? hummm... maybe you can run some sort of monitor
ml>> that checks that tcp/ip is up and operational before
ml>> apache is launched... you don't think it could be an
ml>> EMX thing failing, do you? what level are you at with
ml>> EMX and are you using the runtime only or the
ml>> development??
ML> I'm at current level 4.09 as I recall.
4.09 which one? hehehe... j/k... though there are fixes out for 4.09... i think
that i may be short one (ie: on fix3 and fix4 is out)...
ML> It reports, I think,
ML> 61 in the version dump screen. I'm also using the full
ML> development game, but really don't need that for this box.
ML> It's just easier to set up and dump in a common format for
ML> stuff like this everywhere than do this on one box and that on
ML> another.
ok... i, too, use the full development stuff for pretty much the same reason...
that and because i get curious at times and attempt to code me something in it
<<GG>>
ML> Thanks,
ML> This one showed up directly here on OS2INET by the way.
ok... your replies have all been coming back on OS2DOSBBS, though... yes, all
my messages in this run are also in OS2DOSBBS... i didn't want to loose or
confuse you any more than may already be... i'd rather get the info out to you
and then get the other stuff straight... in any case, give your configs a going
over or whatever and let's see if we can figure out why your replies are
crossing over (no, not the john edward way) to OS2DOSBBS when they are being
written in the proper area...
oh hey! could it be that maybe the storage files for those two areas is
crosslinked on disk somehow??
