New project (Hummer HMMWV H1 project)



So I discovered a little company that makes H1 kits called the Urban Gorilla. A kit-car of sorts, for trucks, transforming them into HMMWV (Hummer) look-a-likes. How kewl is that?

Check them out: http://www.4x4bodies.com/

I've just acquired the donor vehicle. A 1986 Chevy Silverado. Good times ahead! It's already lifted a bit and in great condition. See pic.



I am planning on starting this project early spring 2010. Hoping around late March or Early April. My goal is a close-to-military spec in appearance.

I've created a blog, specifically for this project. Check it out.

Some quick Solaris 10 Fault Manager Daemon notes

fmd - fault manager daemon commands:

# Display current faults:
fmdump faulty

# View fault files:
fmdump

# View error log files:
fmdump -e

# View previous log file:
fmdump /var/fmd/fmd/errlog.1

# Rotate log files - you may have to stop and start fmd if the process is
# too busy to rotate the files. This could be a catch 22, the fmd process
# must be running to rotate the files.

# Rotate error log files:
fmadm rotate errlog

# Rotate fault log files:
fmadm rotate fltlog

# Log files:
/var/fm/fmd
