07:30.42cityLights2what is the right way to run a command and retry it as long as it exits with value != zero ?
07:34.43Leedsfalse ; while [ $? -ne 0 ] ; do SOMECOMMAND ; done
07:41.18cityLights2thanks
07:42.20Leedsor, I suppose, just run SOMECOMMAND instead of false :)
07:45.36cityLights2well ,
07:46.14cityLights2actulally I want to sleep 1 when SOMECOMMAND exits with non zero
07:46.21cityLights2then try SOMECOMMAND again
07:47.35LeedsSOMECOMMAND ; while [ $? -ne 0 ] ; do sleep 1 ; SOMECOMMAND ; done
07:48.00cityLights2just had to make sure
07:48.02cityLights2thanks
08:06.06cityLights2ok , here is my problem:
08:07.19cityLights2I run openvpn to establish a tap0 device , I use the --up to run a script as soon as the connection is established
08:09.29cityLights2this is the script http://pastebin.com/uZ3mrqmP
08:09.53cityLights2and this is the output: http://pastebin.com/jBE8LDBd
08:11.03cityLights2as you can see the whie loop is not obaied
08:14.39ChoHagwhile ! SOMECOMMAND; do :; done
08:14.56ChoHagor while ! SOMECOMMAND; do sleep 1; done
08:15.12cityLights2hmm
08:15.14ChoHag[ is a command like any other and can be substituted.

10:40.01antiphaseDr. Cox sounds like the pornstar pseudonym for Neil "Dr." Fox of radio fame
10:40.12antiphaseDOCTOR COCKS
10:42.00AndyMillarreminds antiphase that he isn't 12 :p
10:44.36ChoHagI'm not sure he'll believe you anyway.

11:51.10ChoHagGiven a linux box on a windows-centric network, how can I discover the kerberos settings necessary to authenticate against AD?
11:55.54*** join/#gllug cityLights2 (~cityLight@bzq-84-111-46-151.red.bezeqint.net)
13:22.03antiphaseYou'd have to ask the AD DNS about the magic SRV records, if it's implemented conventionally
13:22.20antiphaseI'd be inclined to say "Good luck with that" unless it's set up with non-Windoze clients in mind

14:56.29mumperoniI'm amazed - I found gllug again. Hi ...
14:57.48Leedshi!
14:57.57mumperoniLast time I found myself here I was being assisted in installing Suze 10 by Mozrat - long time ago. Hi Leeds!
14:58.27Leedswe don't see mozrat around here too often nowadays
14:58.52mumperoniThat's sad - a good guy.
14:59.45dick_turpinHe can be found on facebook, his Grandfather died the other day
15:01.30mumperoniThanks dick_turpin, but facebook? Nah. He'll show again - I should hope quite soon, really, 'cos my seventy-sixth was on Monday last ...
15:01.49Leedsooh, many happy returns
15:02.45dick_turpinmumperoni: \o/ yay! I'm no longer the old fart ;-)
15:03.32Leedsdick_turpin: now you're just *an* old fart
15:04.11mumperoniI'm now running Ubuntu (9.10 I think) and it's OK dick_turpin, once an old fart, always ... - but I wish I could type as fast as you young bucks!
15:05.19dick_turpinI'm on Lucid now
15:06.55mumperoniSooner or later I'm going to ask - where do I find those aerial-type thingies like wot are bunged in the back of PCs so i can use my new-fangled radieo modem/router?
15:07.35mumperoniOr. Or, I say, the same thing that supports Linux and is usb?
15:09.29mumperoniI DID buy the N-type usb Belkin aerials (one for each bit of kit I had switched on then), discovered a vociferous "We don;t support Linux" chapie but got a refund from Argos!
15:09.47Leedswell done
15:11.59mumperoniNow what I DO think was well done is the HPLIP setup, which allowed me to take control of a printer COMPLETELY (whilst unexpectedly).
15:14.35mumperoniI would now recommend HP printers for whatever distro as long as you keep within the HPLIP/Linux drivers - don't even mount the supplied CD!
15:15.53mumperoniOh yeah - the printer was the HP Deskjet D2660.
15:16.48LeedsI've got D4160 (or something like that) which works well, except that I only use it about 3 times a year and the ink tends to dry up

15:18.14mumperoniSeems I'm doing what my SWMBO says I do muchly - gabbling. Sorry. But ink running dry, Leeds? Write a novel!
15:18.30Leedsquite the opposite, sir - I'm almost paperless
15:20.04mumperoniIs the old prophesy becoming truth? The paperless office? I've got reams bought more than five years ago ...
15:21.10Leedsme too
15:21.27Leedsin fact, I have two reams sitting underneath my wii fit board to give it a little extra lift
15:23.42mumperoniOooh - I've just found the "users" code and I've seen a load of names I recall from years gone - a very friendly Hi to you all!
15:32.06mumperoniI must away again soon - mainly to test out my having recorded how I got here - but after a fit of the giggles at the thought of a wii fit board in my environs I'd better calm down a tad or nine. Cheers for now, people!
15:32.19Leedshave a good afternoon
15:32.34mumperoniMy thanks, Leeds
