2. To send legally-formatted Hebrew SMS message, certain flags in the

(it is supposed to be a Perl script), so I did not check this.
I will look into it. Any pointers to specific information will be
welcome.
I tried to follow your hint, and found the following configuration options in
the rc file:
encoding={koi|win|translit}
separator_length={70|160}
I tried it with win/70/unicode but got the same results without sep
If vicq is really a single Perl script, then E-mail it to me and I'll
look for hints there.
it is a 61K download from http://gonzo.kiev.ua/projects/vicq/vicq-0.4.2.tar.gz
but since you asked for it I will send the script to you privately.

kernel module question
Hi, I'm writing kernel module for 2.6 linux. The purpose is to intercept all writes to disk devices and to notify user mode application about sector/length of write. I want to change function pointers of request_fn and make_request_fn to my own routines. The question is what is a difference between this two functions? Sometimes I see device like sda which has both pointers and both functions get called upon I/O. Sometimes I see only make_request_fn (for instance in LVM case). Which function should I intercept? I did it for make_request_fn and checked with application that writes to some sector on disk. But in kernel I got write to different location. Make_request_fn gets bio as parameter so I got writes info from it, but request_fn gets only queue as parameter.

AFAIK, make_request_fn is the function that produces the request queue = it queues requests for a device. request_fn is the consumes the queue - it's the function where the driver reads the queue and handle the requests.

Re: Kernel I/O Errors
Hi,
I patched the BIOS of that computer with the latest patch.
The good news is that it solved few things (not related) that I
thought to myself that they are not right, and in I was shucked to see
that I'm actually right ...
The bad news is that it did not solve my problem at all.
I tried all of the dma speeds possible to use, and only using
ide=nodma on grub parameters works.
I have two more ideas, but I would be very glad to get additional
ideas from any of you, if you have any ...
My first idea:
1. Compile your own kernel.
2. Try completely different hard-drive (I have an old hd, with dma of
133 or might even less).
Any more ideas you might be able to give me ?

Hi,
Thank you all for your answers.

Now, how can I make it permanently off in linux boot (what parameter
should I give for grub) ?

Re: good book in tcsh shell programming.
yahav Biran wrote: Hi, Does any body know a good book with examples for learning tcsh. First, I don't think there is such a thing as tcsh programming. I'm not aware that programming tcsh is, in any way, different than programming csh. You are far more likely to find what you need by searching for C-Shell programming. I would like to learn the benefits of using it by scripting such as: variables and arithmetic, looping, functions and other stuff. At the risk of starting a flame war, why not study bourne shell programming instead? The way I see it is this. If you want to do any amount of serious scripting, shell scripting is not the right tool for the job. It's too easy to get security problems due to non-standard file names and wildcard expansions. If you want to code large code segments, use perl, python etc. Which leaves shell scripting for one of two things: 1. Small scale programming 2. Programs intended to run on systems where perl/python may not be installed. For 1, it doesn't really matter. For 2, bourne shell is much more likely to be around than csh. That aside, csh has some serious down sides for serious programming, with some constructs (especially having to do with complicated redirections) simply not being possible. For that reason alone, if you have to learn something, learn bourne shell. Thanks yahav Shachar -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting ltd.
