The second one I turned in the other day but forgot the auto-response + number. + + Hopefully it won't create any new ones. :-) + + This patch fixes the problems: + + - 'kill -HUP 1' did not respawn a job if you've changed its command line. + - init restarted too fast (I stuck in 2 second pause before job spawning) + - init respawned a job too fast after it was respawning too fast. I split + one define into two. + + Let me know if I've done something bad here but our system has been up for + hours (and numerous kill -HUP 1 calls) with no problems. + + Also, the logout.patch from the patch directory that I applied, generate tons + of "can't register logout..." messages (1 for each time a job restarted) so I + removed the else and the warning. Anyone else have this problem? + gray@antaire.com (Gray Watson) + ------- + (GAMMA) Recently I purchased a Longshine LCS-8880 el-cheapo 4-port serial card + from Altex Electronics for about $75 plus shipping. The card has a single DB37 + on the back panel with a cable that fans out to four male DB25 connectors, has + socketted 16450-style UARTs (easy to swap out for 16550's if needed), and in + general looks like pretty solid hardware. + + It supports two address ranges, 0x1a0-0x1bf, or 0x2a0-0x2bf in the 'enhanced' + mode where all four ports share one interrupt line, which can be 2/9,3,4,5,6,7. + bdale@gag.com (Bdale Garbee) + ------- ======================================================================== Subject: Section 4.
