renaming multiple files
by Nikhil Joshi 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

How to rename multiple files in a directory? Suppose I have 20 .txt files in a directory.Now I want to rename these files to .doc I tried mv *.txt *.doc but I got message that while moving multiple files last argument must be a directory. Please tell me how to do it. -- Stupid, n.: Losing $25 on the game and $25 on the instant replay. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Linux on Palm
by Yogesh Ginde 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

Hi, A "demo" version of Linux DA for Palm is being distributed at http://www.linuxda.com. However, the developers are not yet offering the kernel source code (the download page says "Coming Soon"). Does this amount to a violation of the GPL? Is the distributor of a modified GPLed software compelled to make available the modified source immediately? -YoGeSh

forwarding in Qmail
by noel seq 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

>From: "Tushar Burman" <tb(a)freeos.com> >with any specific forwarding instructions for mail. It is exactly as i >explained - user(a)foo.com /is/ user(a)bar.com. And yes, user(a)foo.com (or >@bar.com) is a POP account for each user. However, it need not be this way. >user(a)bar.com may well be an alias to multidrop(a)bar.com, which would really >be multidrop(a)foo.com so you don't need separate POPs for each user. O.k. i got a solution. Pop accounts can receive mail abc(a)foo.com as well as abc(a)mail.foo.com so whenever i send a mail to xyz(a)foo.com which is not a local user, it searches for the .qmail-default entries which forwards it as xyz(a)mail.foo.com Since i was having some problem sening it out to the net directly, i used an smtp server in my smtproutes file which did the needful. As the pop account recognises xyz(a)mail.foo.com i do not have to create another domain / sub domain or pop accounts/ aliases or forward it or anything else. Thanx for everyhting.

It also has an antialiasing option, which when enabled, renders the text quite OK.

Of these the first two I checked and they seemed to be OK. >(5) $ xset fp rehash >(6) Use 'xlsfonts' to verify that fonts are now there in the current > font path quasi

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] Possible virus, can anyone confirm

I installed the new McAfee DAT files for Linux today and immediately >most of the queue was stopped dead by Amavis (mail virus scanner). The >latest update does find W32.Sircam. I did install Mc Afee. Unfortunately i have not yet been able to install amavis on the mail server. I got some errors and thought that i would install it later. I think it is time for me to try installing it. My mails are scanned at the desktops (in windows) as of now.
