I just looked at the sources and it appears line 33 is the culprit pringing [extnodes] on the console. This would not cause the system crash you are experinceing, but it is an annoyance. To squelch it add: > /dev/null 2>&1 to the end of line 33. Steve WA6ZFT

Not good. It probably would be a good idea to run a copy of the script manually with dry_run=1 and verbose=1 and try to determine why it's printing [extnodes] on your console. The [extnodes] output should be going to a the nodes list file and not the console. Steve WA6ZFT

setting time

Ken, what I do is use ntpdate to set time, and fire it off by cron... 40 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * /usr/sbin/ntpdate 65.68.232.27 (my time server) also tried netdate in place of ntpdate, though not on the ACID distro.

Web Transciever
by George Csahanin 26 Dec '10

26 Dec '10

Hi all. Having trouble making this work. I can modify/upload configs, so the communication ability is there, but even though web transciver enabled, is does not connect. I have an odd routing situation at the house. I cannot directly connect from my windoze box to the radio box. Does the web xcvr have the boxes connect directly? If that's the case I understand and will try from my office when back there. If the connection is THROUGH the web site, I'm stumped.

Were using the IaxRpt software for windows when were out traveling and seem to be having a issue with it dropping the link after a short time, I don,t think I have any timers setup in rpt.conf so I assume that kills any connect time outs ,Maybe not. Any ideas Randy P.S The App_rpt-users Archives we look at stops at Dec-12 Has something changed We seem to be getting the posts as there sent by users but the Archives Page for Dec here shows nothing past Dec 12 Merry christmas
