What's the problem with telnetting/sshing into the machine and rerunning the VNC server? That's just like an X client crashing. It's also strictly one user per machine. Of course not. I've run multiple VNC servers on one machine -- every user just gets a different display number. Also, does VNC works with a simple X terminal? I know the original version required a local client, but I remember hearing something about the latest VNC being able to work with any X terminal. Is it true? AFAIK, it still needs a local client. 4. Does the VMware Win32 display driver improve the speed when working on a remote X terminal? No. I tried this, and it runs like molasses. I ran vmware itself on a strong computer (PII450, 512MB RAM) and displayed it remotely. It was completely unusable (compared to running it by itself on the remote machine).

Re: VMware configuration as a Win32 app server?
You raised important issues, but there is a technical issue which is
more important.
I think the most important question about VMware should be the
following:
The beta releases had problems with display of Hebrew (in menus,
labels, etc.). When the special SVGA driver of VMware for Win95/98
was used, underscores ("_") were displayed instead of Hebrew letters.
The Hebrew version shared this problem with some other languages (e.g
Arabic, Thai, etc.), and it is even mentioned in the "Most Commonly
Reported Incidents" page of VMware (
http://www.vmware.com/support/commonreports.html ). You could avoid
the problem by using NT rather than Win95/98, or by using 640*480*16
resolution, or by avoiding the special SVGA driver. But these methods
are not relevant for most users (without the special driver, the
overhead exceeds impossible limits).
So the BIG question is: Is this incident (according to Hetz - #679)
resolved with the final version of VMware
Last time I asked a similar question (it was about build 152), the
answers were: "Try it yourself". Unfortunately, currently I don't
have any available computer with the minimal requirements; All of
them are FAR from the minimal requirements, and even a theoretical
test is not relevant, due to "100% used" disks.

Udi Finkelstein writes: Ideally, I would like to see a front end program that would even manage the number of sessions (allows me to limit them), and could even hold a session open and allows a user to use an open session (saving the VM reboot time). I guess this is possible, but it probably requires major coding (a program pretending to be an X server, keeping the session open, but which really only serves the X traffic to a "real" X server somplace else on the LAN). Now that I think of this - could this be done by combining VNC in front of VMware?

Maybe if they'll stick they're logo also in the cover you'll get a discount - just a thought... Last year (?) I talked with a CD pressing factory and according to my calculations it's worth it to use them if you make more than 300 CDs, at which point the cost of each CD is the same as of a blank CD-R (~10 NIS). Of course more CDs after that are far cheaper. (The only problem is with the initial cost; you have to make a stamper which costs 1800 NIS before you can stamp CDs.)

Free Linux Web Stats program
Hi everybody. I made a web statistics analysis tool for Linux. What it does is monitor all the web traffic coming to visit you on your Linux box. Its FREE for you when you are ready to download it now at http://www.magicstats.com I'm going to release it as open source soon after I complete the documentation. I don't know whether or not you've experienced a tool yet that gives you exactly what you want and that you were really glad that you installed it after you downloaded it. Whether MagicStats is the first tool like that for you to use or simply the next tool in a string of helpful tools that you already use to accomplish what you want, I'm confident you'll be pleased when you use it. There is also a demo of MagicStats for you to look at now at http://www.magicstats.com/stats too. I welcome any and all feedback so replies can be directed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] warmly, Kent Sayre "Let MagicStats rise up and overcome the commercial web stats analysis programs in the same cooperative spirit that Linux will rise up and overthrow Windows."

As to the monitor, all you need to know are the refresh ranges for it, which have to be in the manual. As a stab in the dark, I'd say that the ranges for your monitor are 31-74 horizontally and 50-120 vertically. But check the manual for the exact numbers.

Re: VMware configuration as a Win32 app server?
Hi, Our company has a mixed environment of Sun workstations, servers and X terminals. I'm trying to figure out the best way to enable people to run hebrew word (or other required Win32 software) on their desktops. I dropped NT TS right out of the questions, Not so fast. Try Windows 2000 Beta 3. Don't let the "beta" fool you, it's probably the best OS Microsoft has ever released. It's definitely faster and more stable than NT 4 (This was not a typo: fastER and MORE stable). ..And it has a terminal server option built in (and, of course, full hebrew support - like the NT Enabled version) - Aviram Jenik "Addicted to Chaos" - Today's quote: I never think of the future - it comes soon enough. - Albert Einstein

I believe that when you create shell scripts, they'd better be generic,
unless there is a special reason, and if there is, it should be documented
in the script. (like using functions, which work in bash/ksh, but not in
the generic /bin/sh on many OSs.)
I know "$variable" works on bash/ksh.
Sigh.
As long as we're trying to be ``generic'', how about consulting the original
sh(1) manual from the Seventh Edition release of the Unix OS, from (then) Bell
Telephone Laboratories. You know, the sh written by Steve Bourne.
Blank interpretation.
After parameter and command substitution, any results of
substitution are scanned for internal field separator char-
acters (those found in $IFS) and split into distinct argu-
ments where such characters are found. Explicit null argu-
ments ("" or '') are retained. Implicit null arguments
(those resulting from parameters that have no values) are
removed.
So just treat Vadik and I as purists.
The suggestions made here have been anything but ``pure''. The answer to the
original question is in the man page.
${parameter:=word}
If parameter is not set or is null set it to word; the
value of the parameter is substituted. Positional
parameters may not be assigned in this way.
This is from a SunOS 5 man page, with the following heritage.

(It's also in the Open Group UNIX 98 specification. But the use of the colon,
which adds the null test is missing in the original Bourne shell.)
I think most people can settle for this. If you want to be outrageously
``generic'' you can use "$VAR" or x$VAR. Using them both works too, but since
we're analyzing the ``best'' way to do something, it's just plain...
unnecessary.
