Re: Managing very large files
Steve Bertrand wrote: man 1 split (esp. -l) That's probably the best option for a one-shot deal like this. On the other hand, Perl itself provides the ability to go through a file one line at a time, so you could just read a line, operate, write a line (to a new file) as needed, over and over, until you get through the whole file. The real problem would be reading the whole file into a variable (or even multiple variables) at once. This is what I am afraid of. Just out of curiosity, if I did try to read the entire file into a Perl variable all at once, would the box panic, or as the saying goes 'what could possibly go wrong'? Steve Check out Tie::File on CPAN. This Perl module treats every line in a file as an array element, and the array element is loaded into memory when it's being requested. In other words: This will work great with huge files such as these, as not the entire file is loaded into memory at once. http://search.cpan.org/~mjd/Tie-File-0.96/lib/Tie/File.pm Jorn ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Strange df
The math is off because some space is reserved for UID 0 / root. Read these two man pages: ~BAS NEWFS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual NEWFS(8) NAME newfs -- construct a new UFS1/UFS2 file system -m free-space The percentage of space reserved from normal users; the minimum free space threshold. The default value used is defined by MINFREE from ufs/ffs/fs.h, currently 8%. See tunefs(8) for more details on how to set this option. TUNEFS(8) NetBSD System Manager's ManualTUNEFS(8) NAME tunefs -- tune up an existing file system -m minfree This value specifies the percentage of space held back from nor- mal users; the minimum free space threshold. The default value is set during creation of the filesystem, see newfs(8). This value can be set to zero, however up to a factor of three in throughput will be lost over the performance obtained at a 5% threshold. Note that if the value is raised above the current usage level, users will be unable to allocate files until enough files have been deleted to get under the higher threshold.

Re: Managing very large files
Check out Tie::File on CPAN. This Perl module treats every line in a file as an array element, and the array element is loaded into memory when it's being requested. In other words: This will work great with huge files such as these, as not the entire file is loaded into memory at once. http://search.cpan.org/~mjd/Tie-File-0.96/lib/Tie/File.pm Thanks everyone who replied to me regarding this issue. The above appears to be my best approach. Although I have not the time yet to look into Tie::Find (and I've never used that module before) but I will. So long as I can read chunks of the file, load the data into variables (I like the array approach above) and process each array independently without loading all of them at once into memory, and without having to load the entire file into memory.

If you got it in answer to a message you sent, it means that the sender thinks that at least one of the following things was wrong with your message: - You left out a subject line, or the subject line was not appropriate. - You formatted it in such a way that it was difficult to read. - You asked more than one unrelated question in one message. - You sent out a message with an incorrect date, time or time zone. - You sent out the same message more than once. - You sent an 'unsubscribe' message to FreeBSD-questions. If you have done any of these things, there is a good chance that you will get more than one copy of this message from different people. Read on, and your next message will be more successful.

IV: How to submit a question to FreeBSD-questions V:How to answer a question to FreeBSD-questions I: Introduction === This is a regular posting aimed to help both those seeking advice from FreeBSD-questions (the newcomers), and also those who answer the questions (the hackers). Note that the term hacker has nothing to do with breaking into other people's computers. The correct term for the latter activity is cracker, but the popular press hasn't found out yet. The FreeBSD hackers disapprove strongly of cracking security, and have nothing to do with it. In the past, there has been some friction which stems from the different viewpoints of the two groups. The newcomers accused the hackers of being arrogant, stuck-up, and unhelpful, while the hackers accused the newcomers of being stupid, unable to read plain English, and expecting everything to be handed to them on a silver platter. Of course, there's an element of truth in both these claims, but for the most part these viewpoints come from a sense of frustration. In this document, I'd like to do something to relieve this frustration and help everybody get better results from FreeBSD-questions. In the following section, I recommend how to submit a question; after that, we'll look at how to answer one.

Here's a typical message: Welcome to the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list! If you ever want to unsubscribe or change your options (eg, switch to or from digest mode, change your password, etc.), visit your subscription page at: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions/[EMAIL PROTECTED] (obviously, substitute your mail address for [EMAIL PROTECTED]). You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'help' in the subject or body (don't include the quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions. You must know your password to change your options (including changing the password, itself) or to unsubscribe. Normally, Mailman will remind you of your freebsd.org mailing list passwords once every month, although you can disable this if you prefer. This reminder will also include instructions on how to unsubscribe or change your account options. There is also a button on your options page that will email your current password to you.

Normally, unsubscribing is even simpler than the message suggests: you don't need to specify your mail ID unless it is different from the one which you specified when you subscribed. If Majordomo replies and tells you (incorrectly) that you're not on the list, this may mean one of two things: 1. You have changed your mail ID since you subscribed. That's where keeping the original message from majordomo comes in handy. For example, the sample message above shows my mail ID as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since then, I have changed it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I were to try to remove [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the list, it would fail: I would have to specify the name with which I joined. 2.

The Complete FreeBSD: errata and addenda
The trouble with books is that you can't update them the way you can a web page or any other online documentation. The result is that most leading edge computer books are out of date almost before they are printed. Unfortunately, The Complete FreeBSD, published by O'Reilly, is no exception. Inevitably, a number of bugs and changes have surfaced. The Complete FreeBSD has been through a total of five editions, including its predecessor Installing and Running FreeBSD. Two of these have been reprinted with corrections. I maintain a series of errata pages. Start at http://www.lemis.com/errata-4.html to find out how to get the errata information. Note also that the book has now been released for free download in PDF form. Instead of downloading the changed pages, you may prefer to download the entire book. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Documentation/CFBSD/ for more information. Have you found a problem with the book, or maybe something confusing? Please let me know: I'm no longer constantly updating it, but I may be able to help Greg ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Equations (WAS: good replacement for open office)
Since you seem to use the equation feature quite intensively, maybe you have any clue on making the equation editor perform better. Sorry I can't really be of much help with OO.o equations. What I do personally is a kludge, but it works well enough. For documents that I create for read-only use, I use groff and friends. For those that require collaboration, I use Wordperfect to create the equations (it has an equation mode like troff's eqn), export them into Word format, and then read them into Word. The equation mode in Word is crippled, and you need to purchase MathType (I think that is the name) to make it usable. The same goes for references, BTW: you really need to purchase an add-on to make Word usable. In troff I just use refer together with Refbase. I've just not had much luck with OO.o's equation mode. If often crashes Word, and since all the people I collaborate with use Word, well, I use Word rather than try to teach them troff (or TeX). While they are all top-flight scientists and engineers at major US research Universities, their computer literacy is surprisingly low. I've given up on trying to find a BSD or Linux program that is good enough for this purpose -- none really are. So I just use Word in a VM and am done with it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

freebsd, scsi waiting on device to settle.
This morning our IBM x306 series was rebooted and for some reason it does not complete the booting process. The machine is showing on the screen a message that says: Waiting 5 seconds for SCSI devices to settle. I believe this message comes from FreeBSD and not the machine because FreeBSD was already showing the hardware details on the screen. The problem is that the machine gets stuck on the message and it does not go anywhere. Any idea of what might be causing this problem? I have not done any changes to the machine lately and it was rebooting fine until now. The hard drive seems to be working because the machine recognizes it and FreeBSD started the booting process. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

don't recall even seeing pict as a file option for
graphics software on Mac, Photoshop, or other program that edits
image files.
Since X11 can be installed on OSX and Gimp will run on Mac under
X11, I would think that it would have accommodation for that.
I just launched it and did not see that as a save as option. There
is a stripped down version of Photoshop available, Photoshop Elements
that may do it without the cost of Photoshop.
But there is probably someone with more knowledge on this than I.

tcpdump -- non-local traffic not showing
Hi all, Running 6.1 I'm having trouble seeing packets which are not going to or from the machine on which tcpdump is running. Is there something special I need to do to enable this? It's my understanding tcpdump puts the interface in promiscuous mode, and dmesg seems to confirm this. However I see the following behavior using tcpdump -fntl -i ed1: If hosts .x, .y, and .z are all on the same network, and if tcpdump is running on host a.b.c.x and on host a.b.c.y I do ping a.b.c.x I see the icmp packets. But if on host a.b.c.y I do ping a.b.c.z I see nothing. Does the interface drop packets with a different mac address, even when supposedly put in promiscuous mode? Clues?

You're probably plugged into a switch (learning bridge). Switches partition your collision domain -- they learn which MAC is available on which port and only send on that port.

Re: good replacement for open office
Frank Jahnke wrote: what would be a good replacement(s) for most of it's functionality (word processing and spreadsheets are what matter to me) You really have to decide what you want to suite to do. Otherwise, your problem is underspecified. 1) Collaboration (complex). If you collaborate with colleagues who use Word (for example) then practically you have to use Word if you deal with complex documents. By collaborate I mean exchanging documents back and forth, with edits in each pass. Mine are always heavy in equations and chemistry. Run it in a virtual machine (VMware, Win4BSD, qemu/kqemu) on XP, W2K or 98SE. You probably don't need the latest and greatest version of Word unless you colleagues are very sophisticated. Word 2000 has been fine for me. 2) Document creation. If you only want to create documents, and Office compatibility is not that important, then there are many options: Abiword/Gnumeric are quite good if you want WYSIWYG (but do install all the extensions), the formatters TeX and groff are exceptionally powerful if you learn them well. Abiword does not read Word files well; Gnumeric has many short-comings in reading Excel (particularly for graphics) but is very good otherwise. Personally I use the groff family for all my complex documents, but I have used it for 25 years and know it inside and out. (Well, it was troff and friends long ago.) 3) Read-only. You can use Antiword to get the raw text, but you lose all formatting. It is a pretty lousy choice in my opinion. Textmaker/Planmaker do a very good job for this. 4) Mixture. If you have a general mixture of these tasks and don't want to set up a VM, use Textmaker. The programs are quite good, they are quite compatible with Office (but choke on obscure files I use regularly, as does OO.o and all the others), and much better than OO.o and Aibword/Gnumeric in my opinion if you like Word. They are also quite inexpensive -- you can often find them for $20 or so on sale from the publisher. Personally, I use groff (with chem, grap, pic, refer, tbl and eqn for all the heavy text formatting), VMware/XP/Office 2003, Win4BSD/W2k/Office 2000, Textmaker/Planmaker, OO.o, Abiword/Gnumeric, and Windows computers. What I use depends on what I am doing. Good luck!
