08:54.34 | mozrat | Wow - big shame about Steve Irwin |

10:43.44 | eyore | hey knowledgeable people |
10:44.07 | mozrat | Hello eyore! |
10:44.14 | eyore | is there anyway to permanently save values in proc or do i need to execute a script to reset them on boot? |
10:44.44 | eyore | i'm on fedora linux |
10:44.55 | eyore | hi mozrat |
10:45.15 | mozrat | eyore: /proc is a "psuedo-filesystem" so you need to do it via init scripts as far as I know |
10:45.20 | mozrat | which values are you trying to change? |
10:45.41 | eyore | /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh 1 to 3 |
10:46.11 | eyore | somthing to do with the arp table overflowing |
10:46.25 | mozrat | common values like the "enable routing" value are set in certain scripts |
10:47.08 | mozrat | if that particular setting isn't covered elsewhere you could try adding `echo 3 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh` to the bottom of /etc/init.d/rc.local |
10:49.34 | eyore | is rc.local always executed on boot, i don't have a pre-existing one |
10:49.36 | mozrat | yay! I sound almost knowledgeable there! |
10:49.42 | eyore | incidentally, i actually meant there was three gc_thresh files rather than I wanted the value to be 3 |
10:49.52 | mozrat | eyore: ahh, I see |
10:49.53 | eyore | :) |
10:50.12 | mozrat | eyore: in Red Hat rc.local is a "all else" file that is executed after the rest of the init files |
10:50.19 | mozrat | it may not be in that directory - have a search for it |
10:50.25 | mozrat | I think you should have one in FC |
10:50.46 | mozrat | is it just in /etc ? |
10:50.51 | eyore | yes |
10:50.52 | eyore | thanks |
10:51.03 | mozrat | swheet! |
10:52.08 | eyore | just leaves the question "why is the machine crashing in the first place" now :) |
10:52.50 | mozrat | ahh - there is a proc setting called /proc/use_the_force_luke/make_my_machine_not_crash - Set that to 1 |
10:53.16 | eyore | it's nice that last now tells you when there was a crash |
10:53.20 | eyore | how long has it done that |
10:56.09 | mozrat | what does? |
10:56.17 | eyore | last |
10:56.33 | mozrat | wow - never seen that before |
10:57.02 | eyore | man last |
10:57.09 | popey | mozrat: no news yet :( |
10:59.05 | mozrat | eyore: thanks - thats very handy |
