Hi, Let's play a game. Let's imagine for just one second that I am not a fucking asshole. Let's imagine that I do not want to manage my _disk drive arrays_ over a fucking web interface like a fucking little child. Let's pretend that I am a grown person, and not some bright-blinkenlights sourceforge groupie, and that I just want to run a command on the command line and get information over STDIO. Remember STDIO ? No, of course you don't - you're too busy loading KDE on your powerbook because you're too cool to use OSX, but too much of a fag not to run apple. With me so far ? Now let's say I have a 3ware array. I want to see whether it is working or not. I am used to using mlxcontrol. If nothing is wrong IT RETURNS FUCKING ZERO. Yeah - that's right - no GUI, no aqua colored desktop, and no fucking mascot. It just returns fucking zero. Or aaccli (you know, the app that won't quit on ctrl-D ? - yeah, that one) at least I can run it over ssh. So I install /usr/ports/sysutils/3dm ... and ... what ? HTML files ? gif files ? png files ? Look assholes, if I wanted a bunch of HTML and GIF and PNG files on my server, I would wget a porn site. So, now that I have mucked up my system with all of your STUPID CRAP </cameron>, I run: 3dm2 Nothing. It does nothing, and now I have a 3dm2 process running in the background (presumably this is the web server for the "I just lernd linux!@" crowd and middle management) There is no man page. There is no HOWTO. There is nothing but a bunch of HTML pages and pictures. Fuck you 3ware, fuck you dead. </tim_may> So. My question. Is there a way to run 3dm2 on the command line, that doesn't start a daemon, that doesn't require a web browser, and that will give me information over STDIO and allow me to delete all the garbage that that port installed ? Thanks in advance! __________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - Make it your home page! http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
