Aug 25 10:27:56 <Nymus> someone know how to have my nslu2 to download a backup of my site using ftp lets say once a week?
Aug 25 10:34:39 <Nymus> can an ftp program runned on the slug run scheduled processes?
Aug 25 10:35:41 <drif> I see no probs with that scenario
Aug 25 10:36:14 <drif> several solutions - ncftp offers its own batch-system but crontab is also fine or mixture of both
Aug 25 10:38:39 <Nymus> im looking at ncftp atm
Aug 25 10:38:49 <Nymus> but cant find a manual
Aug 25 10:39:02 <Nymus> with the kinds of commands i should use
Aug 25 10:39:08 <Nymus> or how to create a config file
Aug 25 10:39:41 <Nymus> also id like to know a dvd db web application that runs great on php/mysql
Aug 25 10:39:47 <Nymus> iv installed vcddb
Aug 25 10:39:50 <Nymus> but its slow like hell
Aug 25 10:39:59 <Caelian|work> if all else fails .. unless it absolutely Has to be FTP ... a scheduled scp -r might be the easiest solution
Aug 25 10:40:23 <Caelian|work> or if you want to get invewntive .. a tar-pipe tunneled over ssh :)
Aug 25 10:40:30 <Nymus> yeah i really want it to be ftp
Aug 25 10:40:44 <Nymus> ive got some sites that are updated daily
Aug 25 10:40:55 <Nymus> and id like to backup some dbs on the server
Aug 25 10:41:07 <Nymus> and some dirs with uploaded files and stuff
Aug 25 10:41:23 <Nymus> i would try and do it with ncftp if i can find a manual somewhere
Aug 25 10:41:33 <Caelian|work> Nymus, wget might be an other easy alternative
Aug 25 10:42:28 <Nymus> i know but the main problem is
Aug 25 10:42:39 <Nymus> that even if i can schedule a download
Aug 25 10:42:49 <drif> nymus: http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/
Aug 25 10:42:49 <Nymus> i cant find a solution that says download X every monday
Aug 25 10:43:00 <Caelian|work> Nymus, cron
Aug 25 10:43:07 <Nymus> yep drif found it thx
Aug 25 10:43:08 <Nymus> http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/doc/ncftp.html
Aug 25 10:43:13 <Nymus> cron
Aug 25 10:43:20 <Nymus> should have a look at that then
Aug 25 10:43:32 <Nymus> not that experienced with *nix
Aug 25 10:43:39 <Nymus> just want to get alot out of my slug :)
Aug 25 10:44:58 <drif> I'd suggest using combination of both - first make proper batch file with ncftp or write it in text editor and then execute ncftpbatch via crontab
Aug 25 10:45:20 <Nymus> idd
Aug 25 10:45:25 <Nymus> just checked for cron
Aug 25 10:45:31 <Nymus> think thats the best solution
Aug 25 10:45:45 <Nymus> writing the batches for ncftp and executing them using cron
Aug 25 10:45:47 <Nymus> k
Aug 25 10:45:57 <Nymus> thx again peepz :)
Aug 25 10:46:05 <Nymus> now for the dvd database any suggestions?
Aug 25 10:46:12 <Nymus> vcddb sux so
Aug 25 10:46:13 <drif> write your own? ;)
Aug 25 10:46:16 <Nymus> lol
Aug 25 10:46:25 <Nymus> know ud say that :)
Aug 25 10:46:31 <drif> heh
Aug 25 10:46:35 <Nymus> if i had some time i woul but
Aug 25 10:46:52 <Nymus> time isnt really my friend atm
Aug 25 10:47:27 <drif> does it have to be complicated? for example what kind of information it would consist of
Aug 25 10:47:56 <Nymus> the only thing i want is the basic information of the IMDB
Aug 25 10:48:02 <Nymus> i know u can fetch it using php
Aug 25 10:48:08 <Nymus> so dont think thats to complicated
Aug 25 10:48:15 <Nymus> i just want to enter a title
Aug 25 10:48:20 <Nymus> and select the correct movie
Aug 25 10:48:23 <Nymus> hit add
Aug 25 10:48:25 <Nymus> and done :)
Aug 25 10:48:33 <Nymus> u should check vcddb
Aug 25 10:48:37 <Nymus> to see what i have know
Aug 25 10:48:48 <Nymus> but again its far too slow to work nicely
Aug 25 10:49:33 <drif> and how would you use that fetched information?
Aug 25 10:49:42 <drif> I know this is wayyy off topic...
Aug 25 10:49:48 <drif> maybe you should register your nick=
Aug 25 10:49:49 <drif> ?
Aug 25 10:51:14 <Nymus> sry
Aug 25 10:51:17 <Nymus> register my nick
Aug 25 10:51:24 <Nymus> no problem
Aug 25 10:51:31 <Nymus> any advantages?
Aug 25 10:51:36 <Nymus> use the information
Aug 25 10:51:41 <Nymus> just fetch it in a db
Aug 25 10:51:43 <Nymus> and display it
Aug 25 10:51:59 <Nymus> so that i can see what dvds i have in my collection
Aug 25 10:52:01 <drif> with nickserv, send register yourpassword to it
Aug 25 10:52:29 <drif> so you can start sending/receiving private messages also
Aug 25 10:52:41 <drif> that's the advantage - also your nick is yours from that moment
Aug 25 10:54:03 <Nymus> k
Aug 25 10:54:05 <Nymus> done
Aug 25 21:41:06 <joshin> So does the wiki run on a 133mhz nslu2 with packets being handled by carrier pigeons?  Good grief it is slow.
Aug 25 21:48:40 <barnseen1o> lol, i wondered that too
Aug 25 21:49:52 <joshin> I mean come on, add ads if necessary but someone make the site faster.  Sigh...  
Aug 25 21:51:39 <barnseen1o> yeah, you cant imagine its really getting a battering.
Aug 25 21:53:59 <giallu> anyone running lighttpd on the slug?
Aug 25 21:54:08 <barnseen1o> apache here
Aug 25 21:55:38 <joshin> Nothing yet.  Picked up my slug today and am debating on firmware.  Debian, Open, or Gentoo.  Oh my!
Aug 25 21:55:56 <barnseen1o> im using debian
Aug 25 21:56:00 <barnseen1o> its lovely
Aug 25 21:56:17 <joshin> I run Gentoo on my linux boxen and OpenEmbedded based OpenZaurus on my Zaurus.  Whee.  :)
Aug 25 21:56:27 <joshin> I'll probably try all of them!  :)
Aug 25 21:56:33 <barnseen1o> aha i once had a zaurus
Aug 25 21:56:38 <giallu> I decided for the less intrusive
Aug 25 21:56:48 <barnseen1o> unslung didnt work for my usbhd
Aug 25 21:57:05 <giallu> why not?
Aug 25 21:57:18 <barnseen1o> just didnt 'pick up' in time
Aug 25 21:57:49 <barnseen1o> tried unslinging about 4 times on different ports etc, and it never worked. seems quite a few disks have this problem
Aug 25 21:58:13 <barnseen1o> at the time i couldnt be bothered to go get a memory stick, so tried debianslug and have been really happy since
Aug 25 21:59:50 <giallu> I see
Aug 25 22:06:52 <joshin> I think I'll start with OpenSlug and then see about rolling my own distribution for it as I do for my Zaurus with OpenZaurus.  
Aug 25 22:10:10 <barnseen1o> well, i cant recommend debianslug highly enough. its been a joy to meddle with since its installation
Aug 25 22:23:59 <joshin> Will consider it.  I'm really interested in a minimal installation as I have no intention of serving data with my slug but to use it for some embedded projects.  
Aug 25 22:24:33 <joshin> I'm planning on upping the memory as soon as I figure out which of my old DIMMS has the right chips.  :)
Aug 25 22:39:42 <joshin> Nice.  Ssh'd in to the newly opened slug, killed off unnecessary processes and have 20MB RAM free.    So far so good..  
Aug 25 23:32:50 <joshin> 5 minutes, CPU 2x shipped speed.  Sweet!
Aug 25 23:33:19 <joshin> Anyone here fatten their Slug with more memory?
