For ages I have been keeping docs and notes in Public Folders inside an Exchange server and want to move this out to a more modern facility that allows tagging and searching via a web interface for keywords so I can keep all my notes more organized. Anyone have any personal recos for the slickest system to do this with. Given the nature of my home setup, its routinely used to lab stuff up so I

Two quick and simple questions; I want to install the "WinPower" software for my new UPS. On their web site, they have a tar.gz file available for download. I know the reasons for staying with RPM, if at all possible. I''ve Googled and Yahood for ""WinPower"+RPM+Linux and get hits, but no obvious RPM. I tried "yum install winpower" and the response was

I have been searching the net for directions on rhel and centos 5(1) to log in to a windows domain and have found many examples, all different and none work for me.

Trying to rsync a rather large file from a windows server to a centos server and all but this is working fine. As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc... A quick look at

Anyone got any experience/suggestions for a way to store a directory of sensitive information on a CentOS box?

I have a user w/o a shell that runs an app as a daemon that needs to use mutt to email an attachment from a script. During testing when the app was ran as root everything worked:) Now that we obviously are running as a user w/o a shell this little bit broke. I used mutt as I needed to send the attachment as mime, and the ability to specify a muttrc from the cli when executed was useful so we

Hi everyone, I''m trying to convert some Xen HVM images to run on VMware ESX, unsuccessfully thus far. I believe the problem is that ESX by default wants the VMs to use SCSI virtual disks, but my HVM VMs are configured to use IDE virtual disks. If you have any experience with this sort of thing, please get in touch. Thanks! Diwaker -- http://floatingsun.net/

Anyone know how to submit jobs to at or anything else that allows jobs submitted to a queue to be executed consecutively? I have a series of servers that submits a job via an ssh background job but I can only have one execute at any given time. Possibly some clever bash work? Thanks! jlc

Any way to initiate a call and execute a playback of an audio file from the cli? My only chance to debug or make changes is usually when no one's at the office including me! Thanks! jlc

How does one do this? Also, is it possible an rpm installed by rpm and not yum does not indicate what it provides to yum when yum queries needed dependencies for another package?
