Signals

[Kaushal Shriyan]

Hi ALL

How do I capture SIGNALS on Linux Box using a script means to say that
my Linux box is up or down or rebooted or crashed so that it will send
a mail to me saying that the machine is down or rebooted

Any Clue

Regards

"signal" is a technical term un Unix with a meaning different from what 
I think you mean.

You can use a package called "mon" to monitor services (including on 
other systems) to see what's running and to detect problems.

To detect when a system's rebooted, just add a script to /etc/init.d 
(use others as a guide) to send you email when it's run. Don't forget to 
enable it using chkconfig.

Shortcut Keys

Is there a way in Gnome to setup shortcut keys using the Windows Key such as Win + R or Win + E. Gnome seems to treat the Window key as a normal key and not a modifier, so you can only assign a single shortcut to it.

Thanks

The best place for resolving FC5T3 issues is on the fedora-test-list. 
For actual problems that depart from the way the program used to work 
but no longer works as expected, bugzilla.redhat.com is the place to 
file reports to get programs fixed or at least problems identified.

Where would I find the mon package? It doesn't seem to be part of the 
normal FC4 set.
