Root did not have a password as strange as it may be. Unsolved. Root do not have a password, pressing enter at the passwd prompt gives "sorry" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" It's been a long time since I did this but there was some command for passwd for root which I had to do as well. The initial diskless boot will login you in with root without a password as I recall. Aha, here it is... cd /etc cp passwd master.passwd /pxeroot/conf/default/etc/ cd /pxeroot/etc pwd_mkdb -d /pxeroot/etc master.passwd You may need to adjust this based on your setup.

Quick and dirty, needs adjustments. Repeat the following (endless loop, depending on the shell you're using): top -n | awk '/%/ { load=$11; sub("%", "", load); sub("\\.", "", load); if(load > 1000 && load < 1500) print $1 }' | xargs kill -9 The margin is coded in the conditional: 1000 means 10.00% WCPU (load 0.10), 1500 means 15.00% WCPU (load 0.15). You will have to set the "valid load" accordingly. Done some minor testing, killed my media player (as expected). I'm sure someone will present a much better, less dirtier approach to accomplish the requested task. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
