For you SysAdmins: Some kids wouldn't die.

[Namuna]

(I know Windogg can appreciate this...)

I went to the Backup server today to recover a file for a user. Issues all day on the damned thing (Backup Server that is), woulnd't recover. Kept getting hung.

So I go to the log files, and here's a couple of the entries...

11/07/00 11:45:39 nsrd: shutting down
11/07/00 11:45:59 nsrd: warning, some kids wouldn't die
11/07/00 11:48:41 nsrd: server notice: started

What OS/software/hardware is on your backup server?

Just curious.

 

[vi edit]

that would be some flavor of *INX

NT Server/Legato Networker

sounds like some sort of fault message that a morbid *NIX programmer would put into an error log

Die child process! DIE!

Kill -9 CHILD! Bwhahaha!

I believe he is using NAMBLA 2000.

Sorry, poor humor...I couldn't resist.

Some sort of program named "some kids" I'm presuming?

child processes

Yep, you can't beat *nix for fun messages. The workstations we had issued a "PANIC:" message when it crashed, and then it would dump mainstore out to a file. If there was a problem dumping mainstore, you'd get a "DOUBLE PANIC:" message. Always good for a chuckle.

Some more fun with the *nix shell:

% = C-Shell.
$ = Bourne-Shell

% rm Clinton-ethics
rm: Clinton-ethics nonexistent

% "How would you rate Gore's incompetence?
Unmatched ".

% [Where is Jimmy Hoffa?
Missing ].

% ^How did the sex change^ operation go?
Modifier failed.

% If I had a ( for every $ Congress spent, what would I have?
Too many ('s.

% make love
Make: Don't know how to make love. Stop.

% sleep with me
bad character

% got a light?
No match.

% man: why did you get a divorce?
man:: Too many arguments.

% ^What is saccharine?
Bad substitute.

% %blow
%blow: No such job.

% sh

$ PATH=pretending! /usr/ucb/which sense
no sense in pretending!
