10:43.44eyorehey knowledgeable people
10:44.07mozratHello eyore!
10:44.14eyoreis there anyway to permanently save values in proc or do i need to execute a script to reset them on boot?
10:44.44eyorei'm on fedora linux
10:44.55eyorehi mozrat
10:45.15mozrateyore: /proc is a "psuedo-filesystem" so you need to do it via init scripts as far as I know
10:45.20mozratwhich values are you trying to change?
10:45.41eyore/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh 1 to 3
10:46.11eyoresomthing to do with the arp table overflowing
10:46.25mozratcommon values like the "enable routing" value are set in certain scripts
10:47.08mozratif 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
10:49.34eyoreis rc.local always executed on boot, i don't have a pre-existing one
10:49.36mozratyay! I sound almost knowledgeable there!
10:49.42eyoreincidentally, i actually meant there was three gc_thresh files rather than I wanted the value to be 3
10:49.52mozrateyore: ahh, I see
10:49.53eyore:)
10:50.12mozrateyore: in Red Hat rc.local is a "all else" file that is executed after the rest of the init files
10:50.19mozratit may not be in that directory - have a search for it
10:50.25mozratI think you should have one in FC
10:50.46mozratis it just in /etc ?
10:50.51eyoreyes
10:50.52eyorethanks
10:51.03mozratswheet!
10:52.08eyorejust leaves the question "why is the machine crashing in the first place" now :)
10:52.50mozratahh - there is a proc setting called /proc/use_the_force_luke/make_my_machine_not_crash - Set that to 1
10:53.16eyoreit's nice that last now tells you when there was a crash
10:53.20eyorehow long has it done that
10:56.09mozratwhat does?
10:56.17eyorelast
10:56.33mozratwow - never seen that before
10:57.02eyoreman last
10:57.09popeymozrat: no news yet :(
10:59.05mozrateyore: thanks - thats very handy

12:49.56eyoreyeah i tried blowing
12:50.06eyorethen it fried and i sent it back
12:50.45eyoremaxtor and IBM both have good exchange policies
