Note that what indicates that it's a shell script is the fact that the
first line contains something like:
#!/bin/sh
or
#!/bin/bash
or
#!/bin/ksh
The only reason to have the suffix ".sh" is that the dramatically
unknowledgeable may be unable to figure out how to figure that a
particular program file contains a shell script.
And the contents should look something like:
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/whatever-odd-place-java-stuff-is/bin:/usr/share/java/libs
export CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/java/classes.zip:.:/usr/lib/java/comm.jar:[...]
It's entirely possible that you don't need to change PATH, as Java
compiler tools are fairly likely to be installed in places already
addressed.
And you may want to use a CLASSPATH that references previously
existant CLASSPATH info, as with:
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/lib/java/classes.zip:.:/usr/lib/java/comm.jar

Thanks for the reply,
Then apm -S command on my machine turns the backlight off but unfortunately
it also puts the machine into standby which seems to halt the processor and
thus the mp3s stop playing.
I'm hoping for a way to turn the backlight off without stopping the
computer. If the kernel can do it after one minute shouldn't it being able
to do it immediately? Unless it just tells BIOS to do it after one minute
I suppose.
Thanks again.

Subject: Makefile troubles
Date: Sun, 18 Feb 2001 13:51:45 -0500
I am trying to write my very first Makefile and it is of course not
working. I get the message
Makefile:17: *** missing separator. Stop.
What in the world does this mean?
Here is the make file.
CC = gcc
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -Wall
COMPILE = $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -c
FOX_HEADERS = -I/usr/local/include/fox
FOX_LIB = -lFOX
all: project
project: projectMain.o CreatePrjDB.o ProjectApplication.o
$(CXX) $(FOX_HEADER) $(FOX_LIB) -o project projectMain.o CreatePrj.o
ProjectApplication.o
%.o: %.C
$(COMPILE) -o $@ $<
The error message always points to line 17, if I put empty lines between
all: and project: such that line 17 is actually an empty line the
message from make still points to line 17.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert

love a graphical set-up for it. Config files are a pain. Any ideas?
2. IMAP server so that mail lives in one place and can be backed up for all

that off-line work is easy.
3. Web-mail tool to allow easy integration with the IMAP server from anywhere,

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a combination of components which would

I have been running Junkbuster-2.0.2-8 with Netscape 4.75 under
RH6.2 for some time with no problems.
I recently updated to Netscape 4.76. The browser now hangs when
I first try to go on line. The message in the lower tray is
"Connect: Looking up host: localhost". It appears that the
browser and Junkbuster are not communicating.
If I temporarily disable Junkbuster, go to a URL, then re-enable
the proxy, Junkbuster works as it is supposed to.
The Netscape Manual HTTP and Security proxies are set to
localhost, Port 8000. Junkbuster is configured to use port 8000.
Ideas? Thanks.

Hi all!
How can I burn CD-Rs which are 90 or 99 minutes long with cdrecord and
mkisofs? Which options should I use. I tried "-ignsize", but it doesn't
work.
My CD burner (a MITSUMI 4804TE) is able to handle such CD-R's.
Thanks

These days, SIGINT (Interrupt signal Control C) can be intercepted by the
program to cause it to do something. Usually, it fluches its buffers, saves
files and tidies up before exiting, but it can be disabled completely.
The only signal that can't be intercepted is SIGKILL.

"Another" is the operative word.
Religion, exploited as a source of power by the unscrupulous, sucks.
OTOH, even in the cave, man was searching for a reason for his existence.
That, and art, is what separates us from the beasts in the field.

There was a sci-fi film a little while ago -I forget the title - where
someone went back in time to prevent JFK's assassination. Somewhere along
the line, it came out that preventing the assassination resulted in global
thermonuclear war.
Perhaps someone from a barren nuclear devastated future assassinated JFK to
prevent nuclear war. Just as likely as Oswald doing it alone.

This is a PPA (windows) printer, so to have it working at all tells me
you found a special driver for it on the 'net. Perhaps check www.linuxprinting.org
and see if there is a better driver, or a later version.

I can't tell what line number is what in your sample makefile since
you didn't label them, but one guess: do any of your "blank" lines
have a blank character in them? Make is very fussy about that.

Ferg,
It sounds like you selected "custom" install.
Why don't you just pick one of the pre-configured installs, like "workstation"?
It will give you a functional system and is good for those who are just
getting started.

If you don't have a RedHat manual, your best bet is probably a Yahoo search.
I just did one on "disk druid," and got many hits. (BTW, to nit-pick, there
is no "Linux 6.2." There's a "RedHat Linux 6.2" - the 6.2 indicates the
version of the RedHat distribution, and not the version of Linux.
Good luck, keep pluggin' away 'till it works, and welcome to Linux!
