Hi there, I would like to enable the desktop user to create shared folders, for example using protocols like Samba, nfs and sftp. For the user to make this possible, the user needs (on a Linux machine configured with the defaults of most current Linux distributions) root privileges. However. In a desktop environment, in my humble opinion the possibility for a normal user to configure a simple

Hi there, I try to understand the usage of environments but I'm not sure if I get it. I wrote a test script like this: testenv <- new.env(environment()) myfun <- function(x) { print(testvar) testenv$testvar_2 <- 20 } environment(myfun) <- testenv testenv$testvar <- 10 myfun("hello") ls(envir = testenv) Now, I was wondering if there is any way to create new

hi, How can I open crontab with gedit any any other editor ? i want to edit my cron jobs with other editors beside vi.

The docs to installing cfengine refers to /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root That doesn't exist. Nor does /etc/crontab. Heck I remember that from the "old days", now there are lots of cron entries, in /etc but no crontab. Not installed by default. So, I'm hunting that one down. Nate, what did you wind up doing??

Hi, I have to setup a scheduled task on a server, and I just read through some crontab docs. Now I'm confused. It's not so much the syntax of the cron job to define (I got that), it's more... how do I get to define it? Use a text editor (vi or the likes) to edit /etc/crontab directly? Or create some empty file in /etc/cron.daily or /etc/cron.hourly or the likes and then edit it

Hi, I seem to have a problem with crontab. I am running CentOS 5.5. If I add my bakup scripts into crontab they take very long to run. If I run my scripts manually they run 100%. I have also tried vixiecron, same issue. Any ideas? Thanks Jenny -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi, I have a issue with OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 and crontab (solaris 8). The crontab will not execute correctly the commands if I edit it by using OpenSSH. client (Solaris 8 / Openssh 3.7.1p2) ---> server (Solaris 8 / Openssh 3.7.1p2).

I have a crontab for Nobody. I tried to delete it in a root kcron, which I'm sure is how I dealt with this in the past, but it seems impossible to delete. Should I delete the file /var/spool/cron/nobody? It is owned root:root, perms 600. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?
