How about using the help file that comes as part of the installation. You will find it rather helpful if you ask it the right question.
To give you a hint, for XP version, fire up Powerpoint and see what the "Slide Show -> Set Up Show" menuitem does.

hi all,
i've just installed fedora core on my other pc. i've got a shell script i want to be executed when a specific user logs in. i need to be able to see the konsole/output. i've tried many different things but can't figure out how to do this. if i try to execute it via the .bash_profile file, the system logs in then just waits, because the script loops, and never ends. i can't see the output either.
does anyone know how i can accomplish this?
thanks in advance,
sam

i've found a way to do this, in /home/user/.bash_profile i added:
konsole -e /home/admin/path/to/my/script &

Actually, all you really should have needed to do was run the script in the background (ie ~admin/path/to/my/script &).
Yet, you'll probably find that if you were to try to run any binaries (or scripts) which read from/write to a terminal (like one of the /dev/tty* devices) or pseudo-terminal (like one of the /dev/pts/* devices) via that script, then those binaries will probably behave a little differently than you might expect. In that case, you have a couple options: force the binaries in question to run interactively, handle the respective SIGTTIN and/or SIGTTOU signals for those binaries.

Hi
I have a bat file that creates an ftp script in a temp file then executes it. An example command may be
echo put somefile.txt>>script.txt
However it would be useful if i could log the result of the command to determine its outcome. I considered doing this using redirection so log the commands output to another file but am not sure how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is the wrong forum but it seemed more suited.
ps both boxes will be on xp

hi,
you need 2 bat files.
with the 1. bat-file you create the bat-file with the ftp-commands
as you described.
with the 2. bat-file you start the bat-file with the ftp-commands.
#sample 2.bat-file:
ftp-file.cmd > ftp.log
exit
if you use >> ftp.log, the output appends to the log file.

how to insert data through the form created through unix(shell scripting)
Piyanka

|
|
|

You want to know how to insert data that has been entered in a form, which in turn was created by a shell script?
Thats nice. But WHERE do you want to insert the data? In a file? In a database? In a vending machine?
Cheers,
Sebastian

I am writing a C# application that needs both read and write access to the IE cache. The only method I know to try is unchecking "read-only" in the properties dialog. When I do this, when I go back to the properties, read-only is checked again. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
A thousand apologies if this is in the wrong section.

IE is turning the ReadOnly on. Any writing that you do to the cache folder will invalidate the entire cache since IE can't trust what it has written into it! Why would you even want to do this?

Hi,
anyone got any experience with this?
Just taken on a new job, and Ive been asked to help out with sysadmin.
Currently have 3 servers:
1x Windows 2000 (with exchange 2000)
2x other Windows 2000 servers
All on 1 domain.
Have got a new server to replace the 1st one. It will have Windows 2003, and Exchange 2003. And plan to scrape the 1st server.
So we have the software from Microsoft Action Pack Partnership thingy.
What about licensing? Will it be carried over, or do i need to repurchase CALS?
I noticed in License Manager, that CALS are stored on individual servers. If that server is replaced, do the CALS need to be reinstalled, or will they remain on the domain?
And one final silly question, are CALS still like a file on a floppy disk like in the old days, or do I need to hunt through the IT cupboard for a serial number?
Any response gratefully appreciated.

One of our machines has recently (04-Nov) begun to misbehave when shutting down.
(PIII-700MHz, 512MB RAM, XP SP2)
When shut down, instead of switching off, it now stalls with a blank desktop background, and a mouse pointer. The mouse pointer can be moved, but hitting C-A-D does nothing (nor does caps/num lock), and if the machine is powered down by pressing the button on the case (not the screen - there are none), it does switch off.
When booting up again, there are no complaints about not shutting down properly etc.
What's likely to cause this? My guess is that something is not closing cleanly, but I'm at a loss to know what this would be. Anyone any clues?
It has Symantec AV Small Business edition installed, and no, there are no recent configuration changes that we're aware of.

Usually a badly behaving device driver can often cause this, but ...
Check that Symantec hasn't got any issues with your device drivers you have installed, or any programs you have installed. For instance, current version of AVG complains that an older version of Roxio Easy CD/DVD may not be fully compatible and should be updated. This kind of thing could easy be a reason for your PC behaving as is.

Like I say, nothing changed (except Symantec virus definition file update).
However, having managed to look in the system event logs, there are startup errors relating to ACPI. On further reading, this could be battery failure on the motherboard, which might also cause issues when shutting down. I'll check this out when I'm actually in the same office. I'm around 120 miles away during the week, which makes this kind of sysadmin difficult

Hi All,
I could not find a better place to post this query on CP. I wanted to know whether there is any setting to display the complete shortcut names on the desktop. By default windows reduces the names display area and appends '....'. For example. If i have a shortcut with name 'Microsoft SQL Server 2000', then the name displayed is - 'Microsoft SQL ...'
I want to display the complete names.
Hope i am clear with my query.
Thanks

In my opinion, try to search this feature in windows registry.

|

We installed a bunch of new machines and some of our users began experiencing this problem. OS is Windows XP Pro w/all SPs & patches.
[Right Click] on [Start]
Choose [Search]
-- Windows Explorer crashes and the entire shell reboots.
I spent 2 entire days trying to nail down the problem. I have a solution but, still don't know why or what software is causing the crash.
Solution
========
Turn off dual-core in the BIOs.
Does anyone know if there is a software solution to this issue?
Searching the web shows I am not alone but, there are no solutions available. Once it happens on a machine, it always happens. It is definitly based on the install and not on the user. Maybe it is due to the order of install/patching. Something is just not happy with dual processing.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Explorer has crashed once while I was doing a search, but it hasn't happened since.
I have done some research and I have found that if you have McAfee Anti-Virus installed, this may cause the problem. Also, try checking for any Mal-Ware that may be installed on your computers.
If this doesn't work, you might try reinstalling Windows or the Service Pack.
Hope this helps.

There is no Mal-Ware present - these are new machines and I tried 3 different spyware removers trying to locate the issue. We do have McAfee installed but, I turned it off trying and resolve the issue. This had no effect.
We are using Office XP 2002, we are thinking a newer version may be more multi-processor friendly. It has not happened on all boxes and Office is the only common software on each and every box.
Reinstalling did work on one box but, we think this is just a crap shoot. Same software/patches installed but possibly in a different order. We are talking 50+ boxes here. It is much easier to turn a switch in the BIOS than start an install from scratch.

True. Maybe an upgrade would do the trick.
What processor brand and model are you using?
