Hi all,
Has anyone managed to enable ident, which I use for IRC quite often, in 7B85 none of the old programs work. Has the code behind this changed. I guess there is still a way to enable it hopefully,
Thanks
Chris

The first character is the comment.

In the terminal type

ps -ax |grep inetd

This will give you something that looks like this.

289 ?? Ss 0:00.00 inetd
27982 std R+ 0:00.00 grep inetd


The first number here, in this case 289 is the inetd process number. This is the one you want to restart. The other process number is the process we used to find inetd. To restart intetd type:

kill -HUP 289

Where you substitute your process number for 289.

We've had killall since Jag.

How about you wait until 8PM on October 24, and then ask for support on Panther?

Ummm, typo. Should be:
ps -ax | grep inetd
Note the space between the pipe and grep.

People who know little about pipes shouldn't point out non-existent errors.

Code:
user@host(43):~$ ps auwx | grep "top -uws5" | grep -v grep
