| convert jpg image files to pdf | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - ImageMagick's convert command: convert *.jpg publish.pdf. I can't think of how much simplier you can get... - | |||||
| linux reset screen -->Re fixing garbled display | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - linux reset screen -->Re: fixing garbled display - | |||||
| no such device or address, no such file or directory | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - If the drive is being recognized, you should have two lines in `hwconfig -h` output. You get a "%tape" line at boot time, indicating that the driver is configured to allow access to a drive. Then, the first time you access the drive, you get a "%Stp" line giving more specific details of the actual drive. - | |||||
| Mac OS X dmg file | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - While a file is being downloaded, some web browsers set the file type to a special value which is recognised by Finder as meaning "this file is busy". (It is something obvious like 'bzy '.) You can delete these files from Finder (assuming nothing is actually accessing the file) by using a file type utility such as XRay to change the type to something else (e.g. 'TEXT'). - | |||||
| add cr/lf carriage return line feed crlf -->Re ADD CR/LFTO FILE | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - Well, your little program is not what he needs, because the file he has to work with has NO NEWLINES in the first place, so I suspect your addcr/rmcr would not do what he wants, which is to add a NL/CR after every 2048 bytes in the input. - | |||||

| - difference between character raw and block devices -->Re:When is raw access appropriate: - | |||||
| tar exit codes SCO_OSR5 | 1997-2004 | 2011/11/15 ShellyS | |||
| - Values over 128 represent the OR'ing of 128 with a signal that killed tar (or any other program). SIGINT = 2; 128 + 2 = 130; SIGTERM = 15 ... Skimming the tar source turns up these exit codes: - | |||||
| gunzip File Size Limit Exceeded (core dumped) | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - The size of an individual file is limited to 2GB in OpenServer. Presumably you mean that the unzipped size is ~5GB and the zipped size is smaller? The amount of data that can flow through a pipe is not limited to 2GB. (But it will still fail if any individual file stored in the tar archive is larger than 2GB.) - | |||||

| - cancel all print jobs -->Re: using command line to cancelall jobs for a remote printer - | |||||
| dvd region code reset | 1997-2004 | 2010/04/17 anonymous | |||
| - After you've changed the region code the fifth time, the drive will be permanently stuck on whichever region you last selected. There is apparently a "dealer reset" mechanism which gives you another five changes, but this procedure can also only be applied a limited number of times (two or three). - | |||||
| Mac OS X hidden files | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - A file can be invisible because it's listed in .hidden OR because its attribute (/Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo -a filename) is V. Some of the files are both, so you'd need to use /Developer/Tools/SetFile to change them to v AND remove them from /.hidden. - | |||||

| setup chroot jail ftp | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - setup chroot jail ftp - | |||||
| sh vs. ksh | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - The Korn shell does not fork a separate shell in this situation; running the same script under `ksh` would make it work. It was a design goal of ksh to eliminate these language oddities where the scope of a variable is constrained by forces outside your control. - | |||||
| using tar basics restoring tar tape -->Re tape mount andfile system type? | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - using tar basics restoring tar tape -->Re: tape mount andfile system type? - | |||||
| disconnected telnet sessions; keepalive | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - A machine which is going down in a power failure does not send out "I'm dying now" messages. It is normal for sessions from a rebooted machine to stay alive for a while. Once the client is finished rebooting, next time the server sends it anything on the telnet session, it will get a TCP "reset" packet (meaning "What are you talking about? I don't have a session open with you on that socket number!") - | |||||
| kill -l on Solaris -->Re SunOS & SCO differencekill -l 132 | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - The "kill" command is often a shell builtin, which can confuse people because it may work differently on different systems; - | |||||
| Printing through vpn -->Re Using print servers over anInternet VPN - HELP | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - Printing through vpn -->Re: Using print servers over anInternet VPN - HELP - | |||||
| ls -lT full time stamp -->Re ls -lT | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - Writing a script that uses "touch" to _set_ a file timestamp arbitrarily and exactly, and conditional expressions to compare with a file stamp that you want to know until the exact value _is_ known, is...stupid, but feasible ;-) - | |||||
| download sco openserver -->Re SCO Download | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - Downloading SCO - | |||||
| Environment variables - maximum size of a variable? | 2011 03 | 2011/03/07 BigDumbDinosaur | |||
| - An 18 MB or larger variable is much more than any shell script is likely to need, but it does show that you need not fear assigning fairly large chunks of data if you need to. - | |||||
| colors in vim vi | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - Well, the vi editor doesn't have colors. Its purely a two-color editor (background, foreground) determined by the terminal (xterm, etc). - | |||||
| serial number activation key -->Re SCO licensecode | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - serial number activation key -->Re: SCO licensecode - | |||||
| EPERM error -->Re grep usage failure | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - If you're using 5.0.6, you have a grep that understands characters encoded in octal: $ grep '\00111\0011' /usr/include/sys/errno.h - | |||||
| find large files -->Find Largest Files | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - Recently a single line script was posted to UGU to list the largest files in a filesystem in order of descending size. The script worked as posted on AIX but required tweaking for SCO OSR5 and UW7 (and Linux). - | |||||

| - - | |||||
| xenix | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - Just to point out for those unfamiliar with Xenix, the OS itself is actually under 50, heck, under 10!. An entire Xenix filesystem can not even exceed 512M, though you can have multiple 512M fs's mounted for a total system that exceeds 512M. - | |||||

| cpio backup script -->Re Newbie needs backup help | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - A lot of folks on this news group will eschew any home grown backup solution in favor of BRU, Loantar, Backup Edge, etc.., but you can build a reliable script using cpio. The following is a mail message from by home-grown script that I install on all my client's servers. - | |||||

| RAID performance -->Re read cache hit rates at0%? | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - time cat some_big_file > /dev/null && time cat some_big_file > /dev/null - some_big_file should be big, but not bigger than your cache (15MB would be a good test size). Assuming some_big_file is not already in your cache, the first one should be slow, the 2nd fast. If the time on your 2nd run is about the same as your first run, then your system is not caching. - | |||||

| - Restrict ssh access with AllowUsers. - | |||||
| streams resources pseudo ttys -->Re Out of streamresources | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - The pseudo-ttys are used for network logins. The pseudo comes from the fact that they were not hard wired serial terminals. Today, hard wired terminals are quite scarce. These old Unix systems were often working in very limited memory - 256MB was not at all unusual - | |||||

| Why system rebooted -->Re Why is my systemrebooted? | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - Software failure would be caught by the kernel, kernel failures would yield a kernel trap, often seen on NT as the blue screen of death. - | |||||

| rlogin .rhosts rhosts user equivalency -->Re Telnet AutoLogin | 1997-2004 | ||||
| - There's a bit more to user equivalence then you mentioned. If you fail to take into account the other aspects, your users aren't equivalent. Symptoms of this would be the "r" commands like rlogin, and rdist not working as you'd expect. - | |||||
