RE: KDE + GNOME?
I'm contemplating installing GNOME . I am currently using KDE. Does anyone know of any issues I should be aware of before I proceed. I'm mostly concerned about dependency issues, especially wtih respect to the xorg clients and firefox. Essentially I would like to be able to choose which environment I am going to run on a per-session basis. Any hints, pointer, RTFMs, would be greatly appreciated. I am running the current GNOME release and I have experienced zero problems. The only thing I don't like about my current installation is that the GNOME systrey does not work. Besides that it runs very nicely.

I reworked your script a bit, it is working for me maybe it will for
you:
#! /bin/sh
echo -n Enter the IP or Hostname of the Server:
read host
ping -c2 $host file2;
if `test $? = 0`; then
echo Server is up and working $host
else
echo Server is not up and not working $host

TEST:
hde{/usr/home/hde} $ ./test.sh
Enter the IP or Hostname of the Server: 193.169.1.1
Server is up and working 193.169.1.1
hde{/usr/home/hde} $ ./test.sh

Also, noticed your code is flawed, you never used a namespace, nor
explicitly stated one. cout is part of the 'std' namespace, so either
' using namespace std;' for global/local use of namespace, OR do
'std::cout ' instead. Try the hello.cpp I sent you in the last email,
that one should work for ya :)
I'm not nearly as adept with C++ as I am with C, Perl, and a few other
geek tools, but doesn't C++ default to the std namespace if none is
specified?
Perhaps this is a compiler specific behavior?
No, you have to either tell the compiler by using std::METHOD or say
using namespace std; to annouce you are using std as your primary
namespace.

If not, issue /usr/local/sbin/grub from a command prompt and duplicate your test. If that's broken, make sure your ports tree is up to date, make sure /usr/ports/devel/autoconf259 /usr/ports/devel/automake19 /usr/ports/devel/gmake are up to date (grub's build dependancies) then deinstall, clean, and reintsall the grub port.
