The bash(1) man page says:
: { list; }
: list is simply executed in the current shell envi-
: ronment. list must be terminated with a newline or
: semicolon.
Kernighan and Pike (p. 169) says:
: The characters <{> and <}> are like <do> and <done>--they have special
: meaning only if they follow a semi-colon, newline, or other command
: terminator.
> Second, how do you find out the bash version installed?
Try
$ /path/to/bash -version -c ""
or
$ echo $BASH_VERSION
(inside the shell).

Yes, I meant "the 250th millsecond" i.e. "the millisecond labelled
0.250seconds".

That was exactly my question: what is going to happen if the machine
*is* loaded, but only with 'normal' but hyperactive processes? (In my
cases, they would be video encoders). Or with other time-critical
processes? (On Indy, each of them receives a specified time interval
during which it is non-preemptible, after which it is scheduled normally
if it still has processing to do).

I've seen mention of these, and the real purpose of my question was:
does sched_setscheduler work on Linux, for my requirements? Or do I have
to look at these patches? (I assume I'd better not touch them if I don't
need them).

I do not know what version of logrotate. logrotate --usage did not
print the version. The installed rpm is logrotate-3.3-5mdk.
I modified the syslog, logrotate configuration file for my news and mail
to the following. (The ... denote stuff I have left out)
/var/log/mail/!(*.gz) {
...
}
They used to look like:
/var/log/mail/* {
...
}
I think that logrotate was rotating everything in the directory
including the rotated logs... I do not know if my fix will work or not.

Hmm, yeah, that was my first impression. And it is also the reason
that I went the other way. But... let me show you it is doable in
Solaris:
$ mount
/ on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 read/write/setuid/largefiles on Tue Dec 19 21:56:18 2000
/usr on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 read/write/setuid/largefiles on Tue Dec 19 21:56:18 2000
/proc on /proc read/write/setuid on Tue Dec 19 21:56:18 2000
/dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid on Tue Dec 19 21:56:18 2000
/export/home on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 setuid/read/write/largefiles on Tue Dec 19 21:56:20
2000
/tmp on swap read/write on Tue Dec 19 21:56:20 2000
$ uname -svpr
SunOS 5.6 Generic_105181-20 sparc
See the last line "/tmp on swap"? Heeheehee, guys, got to think about
it, 'cause Linux shouldn't be too much different from Unix. well,
hopefully it is not, :-)

Hi group,
I'm trying to zip a 5 GByte *.tar file with "gzip filename.tar".
As a result I get an error message that says
"Value too large for defined data type" and no compressed

What is the maximum file size gzip can handle?
I couldn't find anything in the man page.
Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance

No, Linux isn't to blame. Microsoft is. If they didn't put out such

Subject: Oracle on RedHat 6.1 - cannot get webdb to work
I have installed Oracle 8i and WEbdb2.2 on a RedHat 6.1 laptop. I cannot
get the webdb configuration page to load to my browser (I had to do a
manual install of the PL/SQL for Webdb 2.2 into Oracle).
I'm using Apache for my listener, not the Oracle listener, since I
couldn't get the oracle listener installation script to work at all.
It's the part where you enter
http://localhost/cgi-bin/wdbcgiw/admin_/gateway.htm
I get an error in the httpd/error.log that indicates "premature end of
script headres". According to the Apache FAQs, that means your script
quit early, probably because of a permissions problem. Unfortunately,
since wdbcgiw calls wdbcgi, which is a compiled executable, I don't know
where the problem is because I don't know what all wdbcgi does.
The error occurs with the printback of the CGI variables to the
error.log where it prints out PATH_TRANSLATED. It seems to be assigning
wdbcgi to the doc root (which is /home/httpd/html in the default Red Hat
installation).
Anyone overcome this particular problem?
Thanks,
JC Kelly

I have a HP deskjet 320 on the parallel port using Debian.
When I use it, it prints the first line and starts the next line at the end
of the first line
eg

I have tried looking at the printcap file but that hasn't shed any light.
Can anyone help me with this problem or specify the correct settings in

Probably not. PC sales are down compared to last year - no Y2K panic
buying anymore. If PC sales are down, then so would be bundled Windows
and Office license packs. That and a lot of Windows users figuring out
that Windows ME, 2K and Office 2K aren't worth the hassle much less the
price of upgrade.

There is another fix for the gforce which was posted a while back by a
guy who went by the handle of Sam S. Onite. As I recall, he suggested
changing the os-agpconfig.h file from the nvidia kernel 9.5 driver.
After the following line,
#include<linux/autoconf.h>
Insert this line,
/*
Then go down to the following line,
#endif
*/ (insert the asterisk forward slash here)
#ifdef AGPART
(file continues on without further addition)
Once this change is made to the os-agpconfig.h file, type make<ENTER> to
properly compile the kernel driver. Then install the nvidia glx 9.5
driver. I have used this aand it works fine. You do not need to go to
Xfree86 4.02.
Good luck.

Yes, this is an error introduced by bash 2. Use bash 1 to get proper
functionality. COmplain.
(you need a semi-colon now at the end of a list in braces).

Absolutely. And do the elements have a separator or a terminator?
I.e. is it
OBRACE [ { elem SEMI }* elem ] CBRACE
in the grammar, or is it
OBRACE { elem SEMI }* CBRACE
?

You go "man bash", which tells you how to find out the bash version.

I believe a pipeline is necessarily run in a subshell if any of the
elements are not shell builtins (or something convoluted similar to
that). Or at least I have encountered instances of behaviour where that
is the only possible conclusion as to the semantics.
