| 00:20.23 | stickster | Hi roozi |
| 00:24.43 | jsmith | Hey roozi |
| 00:46.13 | roozi | stickster: what is the command line irc client called that you are using? |
| 00:48.03 | jsmith | irssi, I'll bet |
| 00:49.28 | stickster | roozi: Yeah, irssi |
| 00:49.41 | roozi | ill look it up |

| 03:44.26 | nombyte | stickster: hey there |
| 03:44.49 | stickster | nombyte: I'm heading to bed but I fixed your script. |
| 03:45.01 | nombyte | what really??? |
| 03:45.12 | stickster | nombyte: 1. Every entity in your command line must be separate: "-c", "ARG", "-d", "ARG2"... |
| 03:45.30 | stickster | 2. You need to understand which PID to wait for -- the parent waits for the child to exit |
| 03:45.40 | stickster | 3. Use the correct options with cryptsetup |
| 03:45.52 | stickster | I'll post it when I get a chance tomorrow |
| 03:46.04 | nombyte | awsome i can't wait thanks so much :D |
| 03:46.48 | stickster | See if you can figure out the problems from the above |

| 16:36.12 | doublejoon | hello folks |
| 16:38.31 | jsmith | Hey doublejoon |
| 16:38.33 | jsmith | What's up? |
| 16:39.47 | doublejoon | been fighting Dell Perc RAID controllers all night....ugghh |
| 16:41.39 | jsmith | Yuck yuck yuck |
| 16:42.15 | jsmith | Let me guess... two different boxes, and each PERC card is built by a different vendor, even though they're the same part number and everything... |
| 16:43.12 | doublejoon | well I made the mistake of upgrading firmware from 6 versions down.....Perc did not like it |
| 16:43.17 | doublejoon | I learned my lesson |
| 16:43.30 | doublejoon | from now on one firmware at a time |
| 16:44.48 | doublejoon | I will have to check on the vendor thing for the Percs. It seems like we have the LSI made PERCS |
| 16:45.01 | doublejoon | but who knows...could be something else like you said |
| 16:45.24 | jsmith | Some are LSI, some are Adaptec, some are built by other companies as well if I remember |
| 16:46.45 | doublejoon | ewww. Now I will have to check them out just to be on the safe side |
| 16:47.18 | jsmith | Yup. |
| 17:13.50 | jsmith | stickster_work: Python question for you, since you mentioned process control in Python yesterday |
| 17:13.56 | jsmith | stickster_work: When you've got a second |
| 17:33.51 | stickster_work | jsmith: Hit me |
| 17:34.08 | jsmith | ~hit stickster_work |
| 17:34.18 | infobot | ACTION punches stickster_work. |
| 17:34.18 | stickster_work | heh |
| 17:34.28 | jsmith | stickster_work: Let's say from my Python code I make an OS call to rsync |
| 17:34.35 | jsmith | stickster_work: Which calls ssh |
| 17:34.53 | jsmith | And then my program periodically polls disks space, to make sure the rsync doesn't hog the disk |
| 17:35.08 | jsmith | I'd like to easily be able to kill off the rsync and ssh processes if disk space gets too low |
| 17:35.30 | jsmith | Is there an easy way to get a list of all the processes that the OS call spawned? |
| 17:35.54 | jsmith | I realize that's a lot more in-depth than what you were talking about yesterday, but I thought I'd throw it out |
| 17:36.29 | stickster_work | jsmith: You could use the os.spawn to do it, which returns the PID of the spawned process |
| 17:36.45 | stickster_work | os.exec replaces the current process, which is different |
| 17:37.00 | jsmith-lunch | stickster_work: Right, but then what if the swawned process fires off other processes... |
| 17:37.05 | stickster_work | Aha |
| 17:37.24 | jsmith-lunch | So I use os.swawn to fire off rsync, but it fires off an ssh process, etc. |
| 17:37.49 | jsmith-lunch | I guess if I kill the rsync process it *should* kill off the ssh process as well, but I'm afraid it won't. |
| 17:37.56 | stickster_work | I was just about to ask that |
| 17:38.13 | stickster_work | I would think it would -- ssh is connected to rsync via a pipe and when that end closes, I would think it'd die |
| 17:38.18 | stickster_work | right? |
| 17:38.20 | stickster_work | hm |
| 17:40.35 | jsmith-lunch | Doesn't always happen. |
| 17:40.49 | jsmith-lunch | It seems sometimes rsync gets set as being owned by pid 1 |
| 18:00.01 | stickster_work | jsmith-lunch: sorry, got called away for $DAYJOB |
| 18:00.05 | stickster_work | I will look into this |
| 18:03.23 | jsmith | stickster_work: It's no big deal... I'm mostly just floundering my way through learning some more Python |
| 18:03.40 | stickster_work | I'll be lucky if I'm 1/2-step in front ofyou |
| 18:18.15 | jsmith | stickster_work: While you're thinking about it, you might update the channel topic to have the next couple of meetings on it |
| 18:35.54 | stickster_work | good call |

| 23:01.12 | stickster | nombyte: Did you look at some of the stuff I mentioned? |
| 23:01.36 | stickster | I hate moin. |
| 23:02.06 | nombyte | i looked at my code but i think since i have my mindset on what i wrote i can't apply it |
| 23:02.46 | stickster | nombyte: What are you running there? |
| 23:02.51 | stickster | I mean, distro-wise |
| 23:03.02 | nombyte | fc6 |
| 23:03.11 | stickster | Do me a favor and install gobby |
| 23:03.30 | stickster | We can walk through some of this online together interactively, it's pretty cool |
| 23:06.50 | nombyte | ok |
| 23:07.35 | stickster | nombyte: OK, open up gobby and point it at marilyn.frields.org, default port should be 6522 |
| 23:08.06 | stickster | (That is, join session at that host and port) |
| 23:09.38 | stickster | nombyte: Any luck? |
| 23:10.26 | nombyte | one sec |
| 23:10.29 | nombyte | trying it out |
| 23:12.43 | stickster | There you are |
| 23:12.48 | nombyte | k im in |
| 23:17.40 | jsmith | What's gobby? |
| 23:25.14 | stickster | jsmith: interactive text editor for GNOME |
| 23:25.29 | jsmith | Awesome... installing it now |
| 23:25.36 | stickster | Just join the session noted above, we'll see ya there |

| 23:41.32 | stickster | jsmith: Thanks for dropping by -- not much too it, just a cool app |
| 23:41.43 | jsmith | No problem. |
| 23:41.49 | jsmith | I'm always up for trying something new |
| 23:41.51 | stickster | s/too/to/ |
| 23:42.11 | stickster | I've used that to demo DocBook XML online for some folks in FDP |
| 23:42.22 | stickster | Nice thing is the chat log you can capture as well |
| 23:42.24 | jsmith | Nice... |
| 23:42.25 | jsmith | Yeah... |
| 23:42.37 | jsmith | So, speaking of DocBook.... any word from the tool people? |
| 23:42.40 | stickster | There is a "sobby" which is a standalone server, so you can run that headless somewhere |
| 23:42.48 | jsmith | Cool |
| 23:43.01 | stickster | As far as PDF? We may have a GSoC'er working on it come May |
| 23:43.15 | stickster | It will be DocBook => RML => PDF most likely |
| 23:43.57 | jsmith | Cool. |
| 23:43.59 | stickster | I am a little concerned for the breadth of the schema being handled, but extending whatever we finish up with should be easy enough (I hope) |
| 23:48.39 | nombyte | stickster is the man |
| 23:48.56 | nombyte | you have no idea how crazy that was making me |
