Subject: What is the POSIX call for microsecond sleep?
Organization: NASA/MSFC
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1992 20:47:29 GMT

I am developing some portable code in which I need to use microsecond
sleep. So, I used usleep(microsecond) system call. The problem is Decstation
does not support this call. They have 'napms(milisec)'. How can I get microsec.
sleep in my portable code? Is usleep() is POSIX call?

Thanks,

Subject: How do you program Single Char Input on a Sun w. 4.1.1?
Summary: Can't get termio, ioctl, or fcntl to work.
Keywords: getchar, getc, termio, fcntl
Organization: Motorola Inc., Austin, Texas
Date: Tue, 14 Apr 1992 22:08:11 GMT

I'm writing a C program that requires single character
input without waiting for the '\0' character.

How does one properly use ioctl, fcntl, termios.h, or filio.h
to read a single character from stdin w/o waiting for a '\0'
character?

I've tried several implementations of all the above functions
find that read() and getc() get hung waiting for a newline
character.

Sun 4.1.1 doesn't support getch().  ioctl seems to change
the line input mode to raw but read() and getc() still wait
for a '\0'.  FIONBIO doesn't seem to do a thing to the 
input mode.  Setting O_NDELAY via fcntl also seems to have
no effect.  TCGETS doesn't seem to fetch anything.

Has anyone effectively solved this basic programming need on
a Sun workstation?

Pick up a copy of the Shadow Password Suite.  It works on many UNIX boxes,
mostly the System V variety, but people are working on making it work in
the SunOS universe.

It supports this feature (and many more ...) and includes utilities for
setting and reporting on a user's failure history.

If you shutdown a server by using the "shutdown" command, your message
will go to all clients in /etc/rmtab, which is updated by mountd.

Workarounds:

1.  Shutdown without using the shutdown command ("kill 1 will shutdown
to single user mode, "halt" or "reboot" will sync, then do as the name
suggests.  RTFM for options and precautions.)

2. Empty /etc/rmtab prior to shutting down.

3. use "shutdown" but with an explanatory message, i.e.

shutdown +5 "I'm just shutting down the education machine, not the production machine"

Clients running a default-configured amd would not not inform mountd of
umounts (or filehandles cache flushes, really), unless you #define
INFORM_MOUNTD in amd's nfs_ops.c

amd is great!  Get it!

Close, but no cigar.

It's not the *driver* that's keeping track of it.

It's the UNIX kernel code that does the *generic* part of "read()" and
"write()".

And would break the semantics of UNIX seeks.  The problem *can* be
fixed, but it's not just a question of keeping block numbers or going to
an unsigned seek offset (which would cause problems of its own).

Some vendors that don't use 64-bit seek pointers may do some
special-case stuff to stuff a block offset into the kernel's seek
pointer variable for e.g. disk partitions (so that you can have disk
partitions, and hence e.g. file systems, bigger than 2GB).  It would be
wise of them to use the same trick for tapes if they can.

>2 gig = 2 ^ 31 (2 raised to the 31 power).  More then 2 gig rolls over to

Yup, UNIX systems tend to return EINVAL on "read()"s or "write()"s with
negative seek pointers (BSD treats the "/dev/mem"-family devices
specially, and allows it, and SunOS picked that up).  This causes
problems with a variety of devices.

Subject: Wanted: System accounting software (repost)
Date: 9 Apr 92 16:25:57 GMT
Organization: University of Sussex

This is a repost with some changes - UK has already seen (and
ignored) it :-{

We have a Solbourne 900 series running OS/MP 4.1 (~=SunOS4.1) and a
Sequent Symmetry S81 running DYNIX 3.0.17.

Now that our UNIX boxes are the central part of the service we
provide (replacing VAX/VMS kit), we'd like to do some half-decent
resource accounting - i.e. who has used how much cpu time, memory,
disk etc. - based on the values which are stored in the files
detailed in the acct.h data structure (see acct(5)). There doesn't
seem to be anything supplied which does this, apart from lastcomm
which is almost, but not entirely, useless. We don't particularly
want to re-invent the wheel, so to speak, so has anyone out there
written their own accounting software which they may be willing to
share, or could anyone point me to something which might do what we
want?

The Solbournes are most important, therefore SunOS based stuff would
be most useful, but any 4.2bsd stuff would probably be useful too.

Any help appreciated...

Organization: ASK Computer Systems, Inc.

In this thread, smk@cbnews.cb.att.com (stephen.m.kennedy)
have been discussing sed programs that act as comment strippers on C source
files.

Let me add, watch out for ANY sed comment-stripper!
sed doesn't have enough context (it's line-based) and therefore will 
improperly strip comment delimiters within quoted strings,
as for instance in a code-generator:
	printf("/* Generated tokens are:\n");
	for (i=0; i<ntok; i++) printf(" * %s\n", tok[i]);
	printf(" */\n");

A C program is the cleanest way I know of to handle this:

The reason I didn't use the -type f approachis because I'm looking 
for something more general.  I still had a problem with your solution
(not because of the . you accidentally left out).  I got the message
"rm: /*~ non-existent".  Apparently find didn't replace the {}.  I tested
this with echo commands and it turns out that find only replaces {} when
separated by spaces on each side.  When I did separate it, however, the
command turned into "rm -i directory /*~", which is no good.

still looking for a solution.

There isn't any sleep with less than 1 second resolution in POSIX.1, which has been 
adopted as an international standard.  POSIX.4,  which is still in the draft standard
stage (i.e., has not been approved) has the reltimer() call provides nanosecond (!)
resolution.

OSF/1 a trial use of reltimer() which has nanosecond resolution.  The SVR4 systems
have setitimer() which has microsecond resolutio.

Subject: Shutdown command shaking up network
Date: 9 Apr 92 14:26:26 GMT
Organization: Acadia University

In our small network we have 1 main production mainframe, 1 main 
educational-use mainframe, 1 mail server, and 4 or 5 workstations,
all of which are Unix machines.  As it currently exists, all machines
mount the news directory from the mail/news server, and as well the
production machine mounts the /u directory from the educational mainframe.
This last step is done so that a very small number of users (3 or 4) can
have access to both accounts on 1 machine.

My problem is that when I shutdown, say, the educational machine, a 
broadcast message is sent to the production machine because it has a
disk linked.  This usually scares the $#%& out of the users there who
think their machine is going down.  I know this is being really picky,
but is there any way to tell shutdown not to broadcast to other machines?
The production machine here is a MIPS, while all others are Suns.

Would AMD solve my problem?  If I mounted everything with it, and if the
disks were not currently mounted at the time the shutdown was issued,
would the message be broadcast to the other systems?
