2009-02-19 Thread anooop . anooop
Hello All, I was using venti/write to store off small data sets which are less than a datablock in size earlier. But now I have started using vac for larger data but I have come across this problem: Writing the same datablock to the venti server used to give me the same score always. But vac

Hello once again, I was wondering whether if there are any libraries that I can include to call vac and unvac directly from my C code. Currently I am executing them in the shell using popen and capturing the output. I am looking for better ways. ~Anoop

for (i in `{seq 1 100}) {echo BEGIN RUN $i ; emu sh -c /usr/a/bin/sh/emuerr; echo END RUN $i ; echo} [...] what is rc confused about? i think the question is, what does emu do to rc. i think it kills the note group: minooka; rc -c '@{emu sh -c date}; echo done' Thu Feb 19 17:13:08 GMT

has anyone looked into porting or building an RDP client? I think it would be easy to port the standard Linux offering (I forget the name) if you speak X. It has the screen handling in one module, but I found I didn't have a clue. ++L

but, like so many other things plan9, i didn't. so i posted to 9fans. Evelyn Waugh wrote about a senile itch to write to The Times. Perhaps posting to 9fans is a modern equivalent, at least for people of my generation.
