I'm writing a script to sync some mp3 files. Due to a limitation in the number of destination files that can be read from my thumb drive, I'm not looking to preserve the original file structure (actually, I'm looking to sync *only the files* to the new destination directory). The source files are all subfolders under /backup/Music: ./Adrian Legg/Mrs. Crowe's Blue Waltz/Paddy

I have two identical disks /dev/sdb1 == source /dev/sdc1 == dest When I rsync the source -> dest rsync -a /tree2/ /tree2m the destination size id considerably larger. /dev/sdb1 17654736 6513064 10244848 39% /tree2 /dev/sdc1 17654736 7691192 9066720 46% /tree2m When I look down into the directories I find the following /tree2 ...

hello everyone, i am setting up my computer and want to establish internet connection over ADSL. For this i have to use pptp. The annoying thing is, that doing 'pptp 10.0.0.138' i get a connection only every second time. Perhaps it is a problem, that i cannot stop pptp but killing it, and therefore pppd has to clean up? i am using pppd 2.4.3 and pptp 1.5.0 Thanks in advance

I have a data set that is comprised of, for simplicity, a vector of numbers that I want to march across in overlapping windows of say 10 values each, computing a couple of values for each window. Is there a vectorized way to do this, or do I truly need to resort to looping--I think so? Any other clever thoughts? Thanks, Sean [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, Using openssh 2.1.1p1 I have tried to use scp to copy a file from one remote system directly to another remote system - e.g. 'scp -i ./ecp eros:jhf alice:jhf', so the file jhf is copied from the remote system eros to the remote system alice via an intermidate system (the one where the command is issued from). The key is in the file ecp. Using protocol 1 it doesn't seem to

Hi - a tiny bug report: the list of mirror sites given at www.r-project.org/ mentions http://cran.mirror.aarnet.edu.au/ This domain does not exist (well, from Western Australia netscape says the domain doesn't exist) but I found the mirror at http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/CRAN/ regards Adrian Baddeley -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Martin Maechler <maechler@stat.math.ethz.ch> replied: well, the explantion isn't hard: look at seq.default :-) That's the "efficient cause", I was after the "final cause".

A student is trying to cluster some data. Tree-building things seem to be pretty hopeless (we've tried most of the ones in R, I think). Multi-dimensional scaling produces somewhat tantalising results: things do clump together somewhat, but the clusters overlap a lot. I was wondering if these was an artefact of squeezing it down to 2D, and whether 3D might be better. So loc <-

I have found XLispStat's spinning plots illuminating. I'd like to do the same thing in R. A dozen or so probes with help, help.search, apropos haven't turned up anything, and I've even resorted to grepping through the entire R source distribution looking for 'spin.*plot', to no avail. Either the feature is called something else in R (what?), or it's in some other

We've recently had a thread on beginners and FAQs and the like. I decided that it might be a good idea to offer a short list of on-line help pages that beginners should read. Goals: - the list short be short (I think mine is too long) - many of the commonest questions should find answers there (fairish) - I should have found the pages helpful myself (no question about that) - it's a

I have a "list" of character vectors. I'm trying to see if there is a way (in a single line, without a loop) to pull out the first element of all the vectors contained in the list. listOfVectors[1:length(listOfVectors][1] doesn't work. ========================== If you want more details.. Here is my listOfVectors which is called "uuu" >

I have some data on a moving vehicle where, amongst other things, it looks as though it would be informative to fit a model with the following structure: Z = B.Y + errorz Y = C.X + errorz The X variables are observed predictor variables; 6 of the variables look promising (on the basis of what they mean). The Z variables are observed response variables; there are 4 of them. There is a

Bringing up an old topic on a small technicality. In the help documentation on seq. Value: The result is of 'mode' '"integer"' if 'from' is (numerically equal to an) integer and 'by' is not specified. The arguement in seq specifying length also creates "double" which is not obvious in the wording, as "by" is not specified

All, Are my eyes deceiving me, or is the Australian mirror site (http://samba.mirror.aarnet.edu.au/samba/samba.html) linked-to from www.samba.org, out of date? The main page has the release of Samba-3.0.0 RC3, dated Sep 8 2003, as the first news item.

I'm in e-mail contact with a geochemist who maintains a well regarded geochemistry web site. He's drawing diagrams either with a Turbo Pascal program running in a DOS window or with Excel. I'm trying to persuade him that R would be a better choice. Something he's particularly keen on is ternary diagrams. I think he is talking about ternary phase diagrams, and if so, it looks as

I have some data which records, amongst other things, age (recoded by me to be in months), and drug group (a factor). The drug group is a 2 digit number, but there is no numeric relationship, and only 50 of the possible groups occur So > asd <- read.table("asd.dat", header=TRUE) > asd$group <- as.factor(asd$group) > plot(age ~ group, data=asd) gives me a series of

I use the ugly hack shown below as my .Rprofile (mainly because I couldn't find any other way to spawn a new mozilla window on starting R or calling help.start(), but then send all the help html documents to that new window). With a recent change from a cvs checkout to the released 1.9.0 I find that the new hs() appears if there is nothing of that name in .RData, but if there is the old hs()
