Last night I managed to crash my X-server, by attempting to run Xpaint on a largish JPG file. Rather than driving in to work to telnet in and kill the server, I pressed the reset button, and kept my fingers crossed. It repaired the file system automatically, and everything seems to work so far - but I noticed that the "/" file system seems to be much more full than I remember, and the the result of an "ls -l /stand" looks peculiar - although I am not sure if it was always this way. Any clues, please? Is there a better way to handle X-server crashes on a machine where it is not easy to telnet in? Can one do somethin clever in crontab, to monitor if it is running properly, and kill it if not? /home/mike% d /stand total 39830 -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 -sh -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 bad144 -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 boot_crunch -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 cpio drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 May 27 07:34 etc -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 find -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 fsck -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 ft -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 gunzip -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 gzip drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 May 27 07:34 help -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 ifconfig -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 mount_nfs -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 newfs -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 ppp -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 pwd -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 route -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 sh -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 slattach -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 454 Apr 5 02:27 symbols -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 sysinstall -r-xr-xr-x 19 root bin 1064960 Apr 5 02:23 zcat -------------------------------------------------------- /home/mike% df Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd1a 63550 54424 4042 93% / /dev/wd1s1f 2174046 981192 1018932 49% /usr /dev/wd1s1e 59454 3346 51352 6% /var /dev/wd0s1 827056 678976 148080 82% /dos /dev/wd1s2 874480 287568 586912 33% /dos2 procfs 8 8 0 100% /proc ---------------------------------------------------------
