    Question about linux's basic graphics software that uses the "Q" command

    d'oh - yes, you're absolutely right (goes looking for a blush smiley)

    Question about linux's basic graphics software that uses the "Q" command

    to be fair, if you pass a filename it will create a new file with that name. You definitely don't Q out of vi though To the OP - it's possible that Q was just an alias and not an actual binary file (I'm guessing though since no-one has identified the application yet)

    solaris swapfile - not permanent after reboot

    I recreated this on a test box with a slightly different disk layout (/opt is part of / and the only other filesystem is /export) I created two new swapfiles and added them bash-3.00# swap -l swapfile dev swaplo blocks free /dev/md/dsk/d10...

    solaris swapfile - not permanent after reboot

    thanks for the idea... but my swapfile is the very last entry in vfstab anyway. I'm going to have to do this as a rc2.d script but it's really bothering me that I can't work out the reason.

    solaris swapfile - not permanent after reboot

    We have a production sparc server running Sol 10. We needed to add more swap and re-partitioning was not an option So... I did the following: # mkfile 4g /opt/swapfile # swap -a /opt/swapfile All was good, and a 'swap -l' confirmed it had been added (and so did 'top') So, I...

    exec /usr/bin/script and mailx

    Bones - thanks.... I'm going to play with that and see how effective it is Maximus825 - I actually changed the requirements a little and am doing something a little similar to what you suggested... basically, each user gets a .profile with the following ENV=$HOME/.kshrc export ENV...

    exec /usr/bin/script and mailx

    we have a requirement to log all our contrators terminal sessions (in solaris) remotely I can add this to their .profile: exec /usr/bin/script /path/to/logfile and then send the logfile but is it possible to do it in one command? Something like /usr/bin/script /tmp/outfile | mailx...

    So I switched away from Gentoo...

    The is an 'oldconfig' option to make when you compile the kernel... as long as your .config is in place it will take all the old settings and prompt you for any differences.

    Gentoo Users Assemble!

    Or in other words - if it aint broke, compile it again anyway :-) I've been a Gentoo user since 1.4 and never had any major problems that couldn't be fixed with a couple of emerges

    Sabien or Sabian?

    not sure about more user friendly... it's based on Gentoo and don't run an emerge world unless you're prepared to fight some major battles. It looks fantastic (eye-candy wise) but takea a lot of horsepower. My 512mb 2.4GHz PC was virtually unusable with it

    Debian: USB HDD for backup - scripting questions

    I think you need to look into uuid which gives each external device a unique identifier... also udev rules could probably handle exactly what you want to do

    cp time remaining?

    You can use vcp (curses based) THe gentoo devs submitted a patch which enabled a progress bar but it was rejected upstream. You can get the patch and apply if you *really* want it
