The 1.4.6 version of Shorewall makes additional demands on the shell. I have found that both the RH9.0 version of ash and the version of ash that has long been available from the Shorewall download sites are *not* suitable for use with Shorewall 1.4.6. The LEAF Bering version of ash on the other hand works fine. Attached is a small shell program that will allow you to test your shell for

R-Listers. The following is a rant originally sent privately to Frank Harrell in response to remarks he made on this list. The ideas are not new or original, but he suggested I share it with the list, as he felt that it might be of wider interest, nonetheless. I have real doubts about this, and I apologize in advance to those who agree that I should have kept my remarks private. In view of this,

Thanks, when I change it do the following I get a syntax error #!/bin/bash # while read LINE do echo $LINE done < cat list.txt ./test_bash.sh ./test_bash.sh: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `list.txt' ./test_bash.sh: line 6: ` done < cat list.txt'

hi all, I have a small script that seems to be exiting and hitting the sleep 60... The smwebsocket just connects to the web socket provided and outputs the data. This works manually. the myprogram just opens a database and writes the line... My desire is to run the smwebsocket, connect to the websocket and output the data (line by line) when we get a line that matches Location take that line

You are probably looking for VMware Converter which can p2v or v2v. IMO: if you are creating a VM image which is a binary blob or image then you are doing it wrong. Have the VM/server/desktop be a simple next/next/next install and the

Hey, I've heard that in a few fringe cases, WINE actually improves performance in a game. I believe I may be in one of these few fringe cases. Anyway, is there anyway to run a program in wine, while on windows? I've downloaded the windows binary .zips and I have no idea what to do with them. I've tried running the game through the wcmd.exe, but that does not seem to change

My goal is to prepare a thematic map of the US, with states shaded according to their values for a variable of interest. I would like to include an inset for Alaska in the upper left and an inset for Hawaii in the lower left. If possible, I'd like to use Albers conic projection, or something similar. Thus far I have tried using the maps package with its state database (which omits

Hello I was directed to discuss this issue here. As I understand the issue with using the unquoted variable is that it expand globs unless noglob is set.
