[9fans] stopping sleep and aux/listen

[9fans] stopping sleep and aux/listen

[William Staniewicz]

In order to keep the connection to my ISP alive, I start
ftpfs and run the following:

	while (){
	lc /n/ftp >> templog
	sleep 300
	}&

After I disconnect from my ISP I would like to
"kill" this. How do I do it? Kill and slay don't seem to
work the way I normally use them.

Also, I start 'aux/listen tcp' after being logged on
to my ISP. How do I stop this when I disconnect?

Yes, it looks like just running ftpfs will work fine keeping
the connection alive. I guess I just presumed I would need
to be doing something there to keep from appearing
idle.

ftpfs used to send NOOPs once in a while.  Isn't that sufficient to
keep the connection alive?

You can't kill this except by killing
the rc that is running the while loop.

Better to put it into a script pingftp
and then kill pingftp|rc.

To kill off the listeners, try this:

term% cat /rc/bin/Kill
#!/bin/rc
ps | sed -n 's%^[^ ]* *([^ ]*) *[^ ]* *[^ ]* *[^ ]* *[^ ]* *'$1'%chmod 666 /proc/\1/ctl;echo kill > /proc/\1/ctl%p'
term%

It's like slay but for any process, not just
those owned by you.

Also at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/~rsc/Kill
if the line gets mangled (that's one line not
counting #!/bin/rc).
