net etiquette/News Group tip:
Please set your browser to line wrap at 72 characters.
Some people will not respond, if they have to re-format your post.
Helps if you provide what distro and release level you are using
when you post questions to the news groups. Different distros
have different commands, files, and links to files. Even happens
between release levels of the same distribution.
Oh, back to you question, remember, You get the right answer to
the wrong question.
So here is the question I am answering.
How can i set up an alert for when a specific bash user logs
into my Mandrake linux machine?
Why not check LOGNAME in /etc/profile ie:
if [ $LOGNAME = user_to_spy_on ] ; then
mail -s "He's here" murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU < /dev/null
fi

That is the problem. The only good WYSIWYG HTML editor runs on

PS.
This is the partition table output for the first disk.
The 3616 MB logical FAT32 partition is not formatted. If you do not
want this partition, then delete it using Linux fdisk (hda6).
If you want this partition, then note that the type (ID) should be 0B
and not 0C. This can be changed using the Linux fdisk t command. Also
read the fdisk man page about preparing a FAT partition for
formatting. Be careful to format the correct partition.
If you want more help for this, I can do it in mail when the lost
partition problem on disk 2 is solved.
(And regarding the output from suntong1.bat: If you cannot post the
output for confirmation from another PC, then just reboot and
carefully look at the result).

No, the kernel is not strong real-time; i.e., pieces of the kernel
cannot ask for execution-time guarantees of any kind. They're more
likely to execute in a given time than is a userspace app, but they are
not certain to; interrupt handler upper halves can pre-empt *anything*,
including pieces of the kernel, so even they cannot make guarantees
about execution time.

Subject: console based backup to DAT or cdrom from laptop (new user) - preferred
programs?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (safeas.milk)
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 22:29:59 GMT
I am a new user of Linux and finding the full distribs such as RH 6.1
were too much to run on my h/w (Compaq LTE Elite CXL 4/75 laptop, 32MB
and IBM TP 380XD 233MMX / 97MB) I have just started trying the lite
distribs like Vector Linux 1.8. That aside, from the time of trying RH
4.1 I wondered how to create most easily a DAT (or burn to cdrom)
backup from a console app so I could restore the ENTIRE system in event
of newbie destructive urges etc.
In W95 I have done this by creating manually a boot disk, adding
the relevant laptop's card and socket services drivers, pcmcia
scsi adapter driver (Adaptec APA 1460-2) and booting from that;
then from separate diskette running a DOS DAT backup prog after
mkdir on (if need be) a newly formatted c: drive and copied
the DOS backup prog there. Tape disgorges content to drive and then
doslfnbk supplies the long file names (or use the bundled W95 long
file name applet). All done in plain DOS, multiple restores this way
have worked no probs (unlike the boot disk creating automated backup/
disk image programs).
So what is the equivalent level of ease for a console based app,
kernel 2.16 up, laptop requiring card and socket services and scsi
recognition either of DAT drive or cdr burner? Archives show a few
console based apps for this but anyone favour one over the other
in particular? I have tried tar and frankly find it too fiddly
without some sort of menu front end at least.
I'd really like to get some pointers on this so I can record my system
once I've got the hard researched tweaks in place to have it up and
running...

Nope, this has nothing to do with real-timeness. Even though Linux is
not a real-time OS (i.e. applications cannot ask for and receive strong
guarantees of time-to-execute-in), it *could* implement a new scheduling
class (called, when this has come up on linux-kernel, `SCHED_IDLE')
which received time only when nothing else did.
The problem is that this can have horrible effects on the rest of the
system through what is called `priority inversion'. The problem is that
such idle-time processes can grab locks that can affect higher-priority
processes, which can lead to low-priority processes *blocking*
high-priority ones for arbitrarily long periods of time:
A (SCHED_IDLE) B (SCHED_OTHER, normal) C (SCHED_FIFO, high)
Takes lock FOO
Starts work, blocks A's
execution
Needs lock FOO, but blocked
C is blocked until B (a lower-priority process!) lets A have enough
CPU time to release its lock.
Possible fixes for this include killing SCHED_IDLE processes whenever
they have lock contention with a higher-priority process (unwise because
just because something is SCHED_IDLE doesn't mean it is unimportant; a
simulation run that's been going for three weeks shouldn't be
killed!)... and other strategies, most of them fearfully complicated and
most of them penalizing the common case of taking or releasing an
uncontended lock (a very, very frequent operation).
i.e. this scheduling class Just Isn't Going To Happen.

Hmm, you can build our own video-streaming server with bttvgrab and
a small nph-cgi scipt.
bttvgrab is a small console-program, so it could compile on AXP.

Subject: Problems getting mouse to work on dual boot box
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 23:30:05 -0000
I have a linux box with Redhat and Turbolinux installed.
I am currently using LILO in order to control the way the system boots up.
Redhat is the default distribution that LILO boots too. I had to make some
adjustments to lilo.conf to get this working. When I chose to boot to
Turbolinux, everything runs find. The only problem is that the mouse
doesn't work when I'm running Turbo. Why is this?
I think the reason why this doesn't work is because I'm missing the
"initrd=/boot/initrd" line in the lilo.conf file. I can't put this there
because an error occurs whenever I try to update lilo.
Whats going on here?

A couple of worthy information resources on Java:
<http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/index.html>
<http://people.debian.org/~bortz//Java/policy.html>
The material is somewhat specific to the Debian distribution, but
addresses licensing issues that will be relevant to people on _any_
distribution, or, quite frankly, on just about any OS platform.
Quick precis:
-> There are a lot of tools that "emulate" Java 1.1 fairly
satisfactorily
-> Jumping into "Java 2" sometimes called "Java 1.2" likely requires
that you depend forcibly on Sun's good graces; the specs for it
are basically being treated as trade secrets.
As a result, you probably want to track Java 1.1-based functionality
at this point...

At this point, several of them are just plain immature [in terms of
integration with Linux], and are simply not ready for general use.
Likely so for SGI XFS, IBM JFS, and Tux2.
A _realistic_ comparison is something you would need to do yourself,
by reading the source code to the FSes you're considering using, and
analyzing their strengths and weaknesses based on the code.
I'm not up to doing that, personally, and most of the people that are
would likely spend their time more effectively by fixing up one of
these FSes to make them more functional or more mature.

It should work fine under Gnome, however. As long as the QT libraries are
installed, and *possibly* some of the KDE libraries, it will run no matter
what DE you use.
To the previous poster, Quanta isn't quite everything the chap wants. It is
only pseudo WYSIWYG; you enter the code (by means of the standard buttons,
to be sure) and it shows you a preview in another window. Personally, I like
this better than real WYSIWYG, but that's not what he's after.

Does the "initrd-x.x.xx.img" where x.x.xx is the kernel version exist in
the /boot directory or partition?
initrd=/boot/initrd # not correct at least in redhat

try retrieving with gpart . You should find it on the CD's of you
distribution.
use dd to safe your boot records
e.g. safe to floppy disk:
dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/floppy/hda1_br bs=512 count=1
safe mbr with "hda"
use dd to copy your linux partition (bevore hacking), too.
