World: r3wp

my take:   GPL protects against the big guys, BSD allows easy industry 
adoption.  What I realise with time is that original copyright owners 
usually get the credit (and the consultation) and forks rarely really 
live on, unless the original is not supported directly.

look at wireshark... a very good example.

in any case, licensing is never perfect, whatever the license !

Yep.

I want cheyenne to run up on start up.

I changed my /etc/rc3.d/S99local to call cheyenne.r but now although 
it starts up cheyenne.r, I now don't get to the Gui login for fedora 
...

do I need to return some value, or run cheyenne with some options 
?

i need help  . how I start   rebol cgi script  http://adam.hosting4clans.net/test.cgi
 - receives error : User Error: REBOL: Cannot connect to X server 
** Near: size-text self

hmm, you probably don't have x-windows installed/running? You try 
to use View stuff, which links to x-windows libraries ... but I know 
little about it ...

If you are trying to run a CGI, best to do it with Core, not View
Looks like your script *has* started, but fails.

Core not load image.png

Sunanda - yes, but he is evidently trying touse view related functionality

you can't use view as cgi unless x-windows is loaded

and it won't be normally ... most servers run at init 3

not at run level 5

Petr,  that's not always a good idea as View wants to install itself 
more thoroughly than Core

And may need elements that a server lacks.

Sunanda, there are command line options to not install aren't there?

yes, there are. But IIRC, in cgi-mode, you would be able to use some 
basic face command functionality, but I am not sure now ....

Graham, Ah, yes: maybe he lacks the -cs on the shebang

maybe that should be addressed somehow in the future? The question 
is, if it is easily solvable. OTOH even php has some imaging modules.

just use core to call imagemagick

view functionality for cgi = Command.

Graham, that sounds a bit strange, however, i would rather add a 
new start/stop script for cheyenne rather than put it in rc.local.

I'll give it a go ...

As per btiffin's suggestion, I added "&" at the end of the script 
name in my S99local file to background Cheyenne, and it is now working 
:)

Graham;  Complete aside...and very dependant on firewall setiings. 
 (I have a firewall/router so the local unix box is not double firewalled...yet) 
but this lets you run Cheyenne from user process.

#!/bin/bash
#

# This script is to be run from root to allow Cheyenne to be run 
as a user
#

# NOTE: dev is eth0, spike and chester are eth1 (eth0 for the firewire)

#       this script defaults to eth1, so no longer functions on dev
#
# redirect external incoming port 80 to 8080

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth1 -j REDIRECT 
--to-port 8080

# redirect localhost port 80 to 8080

iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 127.0.0.1 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT 
--to-port 8080

why does one want to run cheyenne as user and not root ?

I cheyenne is hacked (or exposes a directory...) hackers own you.

oh ...

The standard is to run a secure(r) webserver as user  nobody

let me know when you finish it :)

A little more work, since root webservers never have to worry about 
read/write permissions but user level runs have to be a little more 
particular in permission settings.  Always a good practice anyway.

I've got this other little project to do.

I will.  I have to prep a doc for my tech support standby.

faxes are coming in and are being sent out to gmail for onward forwarding.

Keep on keeping on.  :)

but I want to do that on the box itself using Cheyenne.

So, I want to ocr the faxes and display the ocr'd text and a link 
to the fax

Nice.

so it can be forwarded onwards correctly

the script rotates the fax in 90 deg increments until it can make 
some sense of the tif file

So, I guess I need a database perhaps ...

or just a .txt file with the same name as the tif

Graham, before you know it you will be King.  King I say.

Lol.

My script already does the ocr, and emails me at gmail... I just 
want to remove the gmail component

I've restrained from gmail so far.  Can't ignore the trends for too 
long though, or I'd still be running DOS and Coherent.  :)

gmail is cheap online archive for all our faxes

2.8Gb gives u quite a few faxes :)
