00:00.02fishheadbecause blue and white leds are more expensive to make
00:00.17RussI'll wait another 2 or three years for them to come down in price...
00:00.28Russand to get the cool glowey animated effects
00:05.54Russah, th future is bright
00:27.53fishheaddude
00:27.55fishheadanimation ?
00:27.56fishheadHAHAHAHAH
00:28.04fishheadwith leds you can do kick ass animation
00:28.07fishheadbecause of the switch time
00:29.33RussI mean slow glow animations
01:11.40fishheadyou can do almost anything russ
01:11.51fishheadespically with all the chip makers make inexpensive led matrix controllers
01:21.01filechouimat: do you have a 4.x FreeBSD box?
01:22.24chouimatfile: a 4.9, 5.1 and a 5.2rc1
01:22.47filecan you send me the user.h file from the 4.9 box?
01:23.04filefrom 4.x to 5.x they changed some things, so I need to include both in the busybox-fbsd stuff
01:23.10chouimatfile currently it's running linux ...
01:23.20fileahhhh ic

01:27.27filewhat I want isn't there...
01:28.30Russfishhead: how about putting a little logic in each LED so that you can control them idependantly through a bus like interface
01:28.57fileoh well, just means no support for 4.x yet
01:30.08fishheadRuss dunno it might be possible
01:30.27fishheadI just know leds are the future
01:30.35fishheadand plenty of logic out there to control them

01:42.14fileto be precise, /usr/include/sys/user.h
01:45.05file4.x and 5.x use two different looking process structures
01:45.20fileso for the ps command, I have to have separate entries for each version
01:51.14chouimatfile: got the file?
01:51.24chouimatfile: it's from 4.8
01:51.37fileyes
01:51.51chouimatfile: you can also download the freebsd 4.9 cd2 (live cd)
01:52.31filedoesn't have the info I need... argh
01:52.41fileIhate tracking down where structures are defined in the include files
01:53.08chouimatfile: get the live CD
01:53.43fileI will in a wee bit

08:07.27anderseeRuss: hmmm
08:08.43anderseeRuss: kill -HUP 1 should definately cause init to reload inittab
08:09.57anderseeRuss: I think restarting init entirely should also be handled
08:10.28anderseeRuss: but I don't think doing that on a HUP is likely to be expected behavior

17:56.01anderseefile: hey
17:56.14fileandersee: what'cha up to?
17:56.32anderseefile: not much.  just getting started for the day
18:11.46Russandersee: so did you see my questions about the init restart SIGHUP thing?
18:12.04anderseeRuss: yep
18:12.14Russso what do you think?
18:12.15anderseeRuss: I responded last night on irc
18:12.52anderseeRuss: I think the current action (rereading inittab) on -HUP seems correct to me
18:12.54Russmaybe I'll make it do the reexec thing only if there is a linuxex line in the inittab
18:13.06anderseeRuss: I think we need another method to completely restart init
18:13.11Russandersee: right, but the current action overrides the reexec action
18:14.09anderseeRuss: ideally, we need to ditch using signals, and implement support for a /dev/initctl named pipe for talking to init
18:14.21Russwhy?
18:14.44anderseeRuss: then we can have an arbitrary number of different controlable init actions
18:15.05anderseeRuss: halt, reboot, reread inittab, reexec, etc
18:15.13Russis that overkill?
18:15.38anderseeperhps
18:16.10anderseebut it would make bb init interoperate with sysvinit halt, reboot, and poweroff, and telinit
18:16.13RussI'd be happy band-aiding it with a test for a linuxex action
18:17.11anderseeI'm open to suggestions...  Care to whip up a patch?
