You need to specifiy what you want done with stdout and stderr. As an example
50 23 * * * /home/wrm/bin/make-gif hd6 >/dev/null 2>&1
redirects stdout to /dev/null and the 2>&1 says to lump stderr into stdout.
This is probably a bad idea until the scripts have been really debugged
and even then stderr could be valuable if something ever breaks.
Someone may have other solutions that *may* work but will be Linux
specific. This works on any Unix I've ever used so it is quite portable.

Subject: Can'r read DOS floppy on one machine
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 10:12:20 -0700
We have 4 RedHat linux boxes that can read from the same DOS floppy on 3 of
the 4 systems. But on the 4th system it won't read the floppy. The
/etc/fstab has the same entry for the floppy unit on all 4 machines, as
follows:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto, owner 0,0
Here's what happens. On the machine that we have a problem with we do the
following:
a) Log in as root
b) cd /mnt
c) mount floppy
d) cd /mnt/floppy
e) ls
When we type 'mount' the floppy drive's light goes on while the drive
mounts. But when we do 'ls' we get absolutley nothing except for the '#'
prompt returned to us. Yet on the other three machines it works fine,
listing the two DOS files that are on the floppy.
What's the problem?
Thanks,
Micromans

The cu program is dying as soon as it is started. Using the line

This question has come up here before, I think it turned out to be
something to do with not seeing the memory on the graphics card. Have a
look through some old posts and there's a more full explanation there of

you want to get rid of linux entirely, and reformat the space so dos can
use it?
did you set up dual boot? (ie can you still use the comp at all?)
would you be content with however much space you gave to unix being a
seperate partione (ie E: ) under windows?
if all are yes then you just go into fdisk, chsange the filesystem on
the linux partion to dos (fat) from ext2 and then type format e: (or
whatever)
all from dos window. all very dangerous so well worth a back up.

Ports by definition are source code.
Packages are the equivalent of RPMs,
From my experience, building any GUI from source is an investment; yes
it takes longer than RPM, but you'll save time in the long run as it
generally runs faster than a 'one size fits all' binary RPM.
Something huge like gimp or enlightenment generally gets a
./configure;make

make install-strip

You clearly did something wrong. I've installed Linux on
machines with considerably less than 5 GB. I don't think that
even if you install absolutely everything you can you can get
much over 2 GB. And that would include all sorts of applications
which would not be part of Windows for example.
Doesn't Corel come with instructions? I would suggest at
least trying to reinstall and see if you can do a better job
of it. During the installation process, you should be able
to repartition the disk to your needs. Also, if you want
to remove it, you should be able to use the installer to
delete the existing Linux partitions. Finally, to remove
the lilo boot loader from the master boot record, if it was
put there, boot from a Windows startup disk and then run
the command
fdisk/mbr
That will make it possible for you to reboot windows.

I did this once and the upgrad install saved me. Did you try to

was booted from the RedHat install CD and installed the whole thing
as an upgrade. I lost a few config. files because it overwrote them

You can get around mput and mget asking for confirmation for each file by
using the -i option when invoking ftp. -i turns off interactive prompting.

You have offered a better alternative to using 'MAILTO=""', which
sends _all_ of cron's messages to null. Your method can be applied
selectively.
Also, I've used procmail's (.procmailrc) ability to send cron's
message to different mailboxes, this creates logs without junking
up your mailbox. Although I have never done it, think procmail's
ability to filter Header and Body could be used to direct important
mails to root's mbox.

Greetings.
We have an IBM laptop that runs Win95 at the moment, and we'd like to
install linux on it instead, preferably RedHat because that's what
we've got running elsewhere.
The catch is, the floppy drive to the thing has long since
disappeared, and we don't have a CD ROM for it. It does have a
network connection, though, so we can mount a CD over the net.
Any ideas on how this might be done?
Thanks.

Saw that happen on a few Apple ][ games. Never saw it happen myself on
a DOS game, but that was because I never used a PC until '95 or '96.
The PSX discs do something slightly different--IIRC, they have certain
data written into the pregap or TOC, which is a bit difficult to reach
with a normal CD-burner. If the PSX can't find the data there, it
barfs, unless it's been mod-chipped.
*Sigh*. From "Copy II+" in the Apple ][ days to mod-chipping to DeCSS,
I'd think it's been proven that copy-protection is a bloody horrible
failure that inconveniences users and slows pirates not a bit, but
obviously those in control don't think so.

Check /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.
You have a line like this:
NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80
But then you don't have another section that defines it
that should be something like this:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80>
DocumentRoot /hosts/docs
... other parameters
</VirtualHost>
That's just a warning so I don't think that's what's causing the
problem (though you should fix that if you want the virtual host
to work or if you're not using one).
Look for: <Files ~ >
Change to: <Files ~ "^\.ht">
Restart Apache: killall -USR1 httpd
Should work.

Subject: highlight stderr, leave stdout alone
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000 15:05:22 -0400
I've always been on the lookout for a way of somehow highlighting a
program's stderr output while leaving its stdout alone. I never found
anything, so i wrote the attached program. Unfortunately, i can't seem to
run a shell with it - the shell immediately exists for some reason.
Is there a flaw in the program? Is there a better way of accomplishing my
goal?
In case you can't tell, here's how it works:
- a pipe is opened
- the program forks
- the child closes stderr and uses the pipe as its stderr
- the child executes the command
- the parent prints out anything from the pipe, surrounding it with ansi
codes to highlight it
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#define HEADER "\e[31m"
#define FOOTER "\e[0m"
#define BUF_MAX 8192
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
char buf[BUF_MAX];
int p[2];
int f;
int status;
if(argc < 2) {
printf("Specify a program to run, you clod.\n");
return 1;
}
if(pipe(p)) {
printf("Couldn't get a pipe! %s\n", strerror(errno));
return 1;
}
f = fork();
if(f == -1) {
printf("Couldn't fork!\n");
return 1;
}
if(f) {
close(p[1]);
do {
f = read(p[0], buf, BUF_MAX - 1);
if(f > 0) {
buf[f] = 0;
fprintf(stderr, "%s%s%s",HEADER, buf, FOOTER);
}
} while(f > 0);
wait(&status);
return WEXITSTATUS(status);
}
else {
close(p[0]);
close(fileno(stderr));
p[1] = dup2(p[1], fileno(stderr));
if(p[1] == -1) {

}
stderr = fdopen(p[1], "w");
