Found a great article on cancer fighting foods. A good amount of these we all know about, but some I didn't. Like brazil nuts!

Somebody finally finished creating a good internet radio streaming application for the iPhone. Surprised it took so long but it seems that it was worth it. It works over wifi and Edge and has plenty of selection (90+). I like the "Chill" station under the dance genre the most. There is also a couple good New Age Jazz stations, as well as NPR, WUSF, etc.

Check it out at flytunes.fm - it's still beta so membership is supposedly limited. It has a great ICO for the iPhone's desktop too! 

So You Want to Run VSFTPD Using DaemonTools! 

After discovering the beauty of Mr. Bernsteins daemontools - when I was learning about qmail - I decided to use it with vsftpd as well. I just thought I would jot down a quick note for anyone that plans on using daemontools with vsftpd. I initially had some issues getting the daemontools "svc" command to properly terminate the vsftpd process.

svc -d /service/vsftpd/
svc -d -k /service/vsftpd/
svc -d -t /service/vsftpd/

None of the above commands would successfully kill vsftpd! 

Svscan and supervise had no issues starting and restarting a terminated vsftpd process but I could not terminate the running vsftpd process using svc.

My simple run file in /service/vsftpd/run originally looked like this:

==========================

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

========================== 

This run script alone is enough to make svc -d not work correctly. You have to launch the program using "exec" in order to make that program run in the same shell that the ./run file is originally launched in. Don't stop reading yet!! With vsftpd it is by default configured to background itself. If it backgrounds then it will not terminate correctly using svc. To use vsftpd with daemontools you must tell it too not background.

 echo 'background=NO' >> /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

To Conclude: 

background=NO

and

use exec in all your /service/*/run files!
