I'm trying to run R in batch mode on an LSF managed cluster. In simple settings, I can do it just fine. The trouble I'm having is when I try to pass arguments to the batch job. For example, bsub R CMD BATCH --args 1 3 commandfile.R & LSF doesn't like the &, and it doesn't run. I'm hoping one you can help me submit a job to an LSF cluster that allows me to pass

Hi, I had a quick question I was hoping someone might be able to answer, as my journey through the source code so far has not been very profitable. I have a command line program that embeds R, and the program works just fine when run from the command line. However, when I run the program as a job in the LSF cluster at my institute, the following error occurs: Fatal error: you must specify

Hi, I have a tftp client which loads quite happily from a tftpd built from netkit-tftp-0.16 but which fails to load from from a tftpd built from tftp-hpa 0.29. In both cases, tftpd was built from pristine sources and run from xinetd under Redhat 7.3. [netkit-tftp-0.16 is the ancestor of tftp-hpa, predating HPA's maintenance of same] [the tftp client also.. .. fails with the prebuilt tftpd

I'm converting my NT 4.0 Print Servers to Samba Print Servers. Which printing system should I be using? LPR, LPRng or CUPS. I would love to have some feedback on the advantages and disadvantages or what the Samba Team recommends as a standard for working wih Samba. In case you need it, my system is SuSE 7 kernel 2.2.16 running under VM on s/390. Thanks, Josh Konkol, CNE MCSE Senior

I just wanted to post this so that it was out there and Googleable. Hopefully it will save other people a bit of time. If you have a Cisco phone (I was testing with a 7970, though presumably it would affect 7960 and others as well) that is looping trying to fetch the CTL tlv file - it may be because you are using Debians 'tftpd' (should be netkit-tftpd...*cough*hey, Debian

I'm attaching an small text file on "Getting your stuff organized in R". (Sorry if sending an attachment is not considered a correct etiquette in r-help, but this is only 7911 bytes, plain ascii text and I cannot post it in a web page at the moment).

Hi Printing in Samba is done this way: 1) Win 95 / 3.1 / NT uses the printer driver you selected there the same way, as if you would print directly to the parallel port, but insted if sending the data to the parallel port, it is send over the network to your samba server. 2) Samba recieves the data, and stores it in a file on your server. 3) Then, lpr ist called with the file the data was
