Had this lying in my acct.. and just thought somebody could use it.
This is submitted in by Matt McLaughlin but originally attempted
by who knows.
Yes, folks, that infamous signal is annoying me to hell. Sometimes, for the
oddest reason, when a person loses link, their architecture or program,
whichever it is, sends a SIGPIPE(or whatever happens.)
This is quite annoying, for the obvious reasons. Is there any easy way to fix
it? (or uneasy way either.)
Finally, I have a problem with a rewriting of do_reboot that I made when
I was tired of doing the same things over and over. Basically, what it SHOULD
do is allow you to reload any text file and, based on what you want to do with
it, it can take as little as one line of addition or an infinite amount, if
you wish to manipulate the data in the file.
Here is the code:
struct reboot_data
{
char reboot_option[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char reboot_file[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char *whichfile;
};
#define TERM_ARRAY_CHAR '\n'
#define NULL_FILE "\0"
#define RB_OP(data) (data).reboot_option
#define RB_FILE(data) (data).reboot_file
#define RB_FILE_PTR(data) (data).which
#define REREAD_FILE(file) file_to_string
#define DO_ALL(str) ((is_abbrev((str), "all")) || *(str) == '*')
#define DO_LIST(str) ((is_abbrev((str), "list")) || *(str) == '?')
ACMD(do_reboot)
{
int i;
STRING(debug);
struct reboot_data reboot_info[] =
{
