I don't get this.
cat concatenates one file to another.
This other file can be stdout.
Redirecting is not a function of cat, but a function from the shell.
So you will need a shell if you redirect a file.
Obviously you will need a shell to use cat in the first place.

No it's not (at least not IMO).
You create a new file, with as input the output from another file.
You could very well put some filtering in between.
cat file1 | grep -v "a string" > file2
You must agree that this is not copying, but not essentially
different from what you did.
You can call it copying, without the filter, I won't do that.
(But hey, I never liked to conform anyway :-) )

yeah and tar/zip constructions that untar/unzip again too.
Still copying?
You tar something on your system.
I untar it here. Still copying?

Why didn't you ask the authors? Personally, I don't use midi, don't
know what it is, and have no interest in it. But as far as I recall,
the SB live! has no midi hardware (check! my recollectionss are worth
2c) and midi is a software only thing for it. As such any software only
solution would have worked .. such as compiling timidity and telling it
to talk to /dev/dsp, which you would set up by running the alsa oss
emulation drivers on top of the basic alsa sound support.

What's power off? Do you mean telling the mobo to power down after

I am trying to make my dell 300 reboot when I say
so, but alas no, it won't. Is that related? It reboots fine under kernel
2.2.18 but 2.4.0 just leaves it stuck there and halted, saying "system

Being aware that apm/apci and smp don't mix (it's a dual mobo with one
processor in at present, and an smp kernel), I have all kinds of anti
apm innoculations in the lilo append line, such as

Sounds like broken apm or mobo without apm/apci.

Because you're concatenating it.
(I'm afraid the laws of mathematics don't suspend themselves for you).
A better riposte would be:
why doesn't "cat > file" make an empty file?

In that case, according to you, a pile of dung is an elephant, since
the result is the same: an area of ground you have to walk around.
We learn to distinguish function from composition. The very point here
was that the functionality wanted can be achieved by decomposition and
reassembly, so it IS done that way, as that reduces redundancy and
forces all the code paths through the same few lines of code, which
tests them thoroughly.

No, completely wrong. Not even the functionality is the same in this
case. The two results are observably different in almost every way.

But the point is fundamental, and yes, one should tease him for not
getting it, or he will continue to not get it, and you will continue to
have to answer questions that arise out of his not getting it. Such
as "how do I erase all the files that end in .txt in this directory
hierarchy".

I used slrn for serveral years and it is a good newgroup client.
However I've since switched to Pan, it's really growing on me.
I've only used Pan for several weeks, and haven't decided if it will
replace slrn - however if you wish to have an excellent GUI news
reader, Pan might be it for you.

One way: explicitly define everything you want to exclude:
cat oldfile | grep -v "X-DateReceived:" | grep -v "X-Auth-No:" | grep
-v "Return-Path:" >> newfile
Another way: retain everything AFTER "Return-Path:"
grep -A999 "Return-Path:" oldfile >> newfile

how about providing some info: like what smtp server are you running
(sendmail, qmail, any at all)? Whichever you use they tend to generate
log files (otherwise change syslog.conf) - what does it say in there?
How do you send mail out to the network (using your own smtp server or
some other server)? And as someone mentioned you should have an MX record
pointing to your machine or at least not one pointing to another :)
Btw, do you really need to run your own email server? I used to do it for
fun and I'm quite happy/relieved I'm not doing it anymore. Depends on how
serious you take your email, of course.
ciao, Gerald

In short, no.
In long(er), Quicktime 4+ use the proprietary Sorensen Video codec.
Sorensen is famous for their unwillingness to license their codec for less
than fantastic sums of money or to release a binary version for anything
other than Mac/Win.. Thus, no Linux (or any *IX, for that matter) version
is forthcoming. You could bug Sorensen, but people have been bugging them
for *years* with no effect.

For the purpose of walking around, they are the same thing, for many
other purposes, no. My point is just that if command(A,B) takes a file A
and produces a file B that is byte for byte identical to A, then
command(A,B) is copying A...

No, one should not tease, but explain, like you did in your post and
like the post I complained about did not. That post only mentioned a
Unix Way without explaining what it was.

Do you mean that this is not a legitimate question to ask?
What if I have to delete all files ending with *.txt in a directory
hierarchy? Is it forbidden in Unix?

This is a summary.
A said: to concatenate files you use cat.
B said: ok, I was used that in dos I could use COPY both for copying
and concatenating.
A said (not literally :-) no! in the pure Way of Unix, cp is ONLY for
copying, we don't mix things together.
I observed that you can use cat to copy files, because that mentioning
the Way of Unix wasn't really explaining much to B... and I wanted
people to think about this.
A, mostly to save the original argument, replied that by no way cat is
copying files, you need also redirection by the shell.
I replied that also to concatenate files with cat you need redirection
by the shell (if you want a file as a result), so my use of cat for
copying was legitimate for the sake of the discussion.
> cat concatenates one file to another.
> This other file can be stdout.
This is not entirely correct, cat ONLY writes to stdout, never to a
file.
> Obviously you will need a shell to use cat in the first place.
Not really, you can use it from a program without using a shell, but
that's not important.

Yes, that is different, because the RESULT is different. But I
considered two, simple operations both producing an exact copy of the
file, and I was saying that both could be said to copy the file.
In another case, maybe the file has been sent on Mars three times
before producing the copy, which makes it an unnecessary complicated
way of copying, but it still would be copying.

Here is the offending line:
xterm -e ./process > /tmp/myPipe &
It turns out that it's not a script problem. I have issued this command
from a terminal window and the redirection fails in that case also. It
seems that the xterm program cannot process the redirection.
What I am trying to accomplish is the ability to have my users start a
suite of programs by just double-clicking on an icon. The icon on the
desktop is a link to a script file that starts each program in its own
xterm with predefined size/location. The xterm windows will display
stdout, but all the programs' stderrs will be redirected/multiplexed
into a single named pipe. Some other program will read the named pipe
for an integrated log/display (on a different machine).
Thanks for any suggestions.

you're right.
cat never copies :-)

Could you show me an example of this?
I'll skip the rest, as it's becoming a matter of opinions anyway on
what the difference is between copying and creating something new,
that is equal to another original.

Netscape 6.01 still has many bugs, and needs work.
I'm sure work is in progress for Netscape 6.1, but does anyone have any
info regarding the release date for Netscape 6.1 ?

I'm a non-programmer using Red Hat 7, and I find that it works very well=

I've compared it side-by-side with TurboLinux 6 and Linux-Madrake 7.2, =

still pretty easy to live with.
