[OT] while(condition) vs while(true) break

Hi All, This is probably a very basic question but here goes anyways -- which would be faster in C/C++ (or would it make no difference at all?): while(condition) { ... } OR while(true) { ... if(condition) break; ... } Thanks, Siddhesh -- Siddhesh Poyarekar This document validates as Plain Text

> you can do ssh key exchange between the hosts, for a particular user login. > beware it will never ask for password, when you do ssh to that box, or > create a shell to exit if done ssh It does ssh key exchange without a password provided no passphrase exists for the key. In case a passphrase exists you have to put it in. Also since keys are dependent upon user account or user permission from which the command is being executed so the appropriate ssh key of that person stored in the ..ssh or appropriate directory is used. In case you do have a passphrase you can use an ssh agent to load the private and once you key in the private key the agent takes care of the connection and for further it will not ask for the passphrase. I think you can also tell the ssh agent not to take input from a file and not standard input. Look for it other ssh agent will solve the purpose. See ssh-add it will do the trick for you. By default it loads the private key from the identity file. Regards, Vivek -- Put a rogue in the limelight and he will act like an honest man. -- Napoleon Bonaparte, "Maxims"

SCP command line within PHP
by Abhishek Daga 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

I am currenty SCping using the command line, where i am asked for the password in order to run the command. Now I wish to run the SCP command from within a php script. I'd rather enter the password each time in a form rather than store it within the script itself. How can I handle the password request? i.e., pass the password to the remote system when it asks for it. thanks abhishek ____________________________________________________________________________________ Choose the right car based on your needs.

Switch to Linux! GNU/Linux, or simply Linux, is an alternative to Microsoft Windows. It is easy to use and gives more freedom to users. Anyone can install it: Linux is free as in freedom, and often available free of charge. http://www.getgnulinux.org/ Can point to newbies to GNU/Linux.

Fedora7 with Multimedia--Installation Report.
by Rony Bill 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hello All, Though faithful to the Debian based distros, I could not help flirting with Fedora 7 which is being touted as a great distro. It was the bootable DVD that came with July 2007 LFY. The hardware, Pentium-4 2.4 Ghz., Intel 845 GEBV2, 256 MB RAM, Samsung 80 GB IDE HDD, Sony DVD writer, Samsung CD writer. The DVD cleared the media test and the installation began. When you come to the partitioning part, please note that like other distros it does not list choices in radio buttons or check boxes. It is a drop down list. I did not see the list and checked a manual option placed below. However the warning that my entire disk will be formatted saved me from a Himalayan blunder. The drop down list has the actual manual option. After that installation was smooth. When it comes to the packages part, please select everything you want from the DVD in this step itself. I did not do that and found that the DVD repo is not added to the Yum package manager after installation. So everything selected later is downloaded from the net. By default, only Gnome is the installed desktop. Installation looked slower than Kubuntu, though the number of packages is similar. Fedora 1007, Kubuntu 950 approx. Post installation was smooth too. The screen resolution was 1280 x 1024, a very nice thing. However it was switched manually to 1024 x 768 for easy reading. Sound setup comes up during first boot and you can play a test sound. The wallpaper is great. You are floating above the clouds with hot-air baloons around you. The top panel bar does not have any applet enabled on it but you can add whatever you want manually by right clicking on the panel and selecting 'Add to panel'. I liked the 'Dictionary' utility very much. 'Eyeballs' are nice too and move as you move your mouse. Next to the date is the user's Name, which is handy for the boss to know who is logged into the desktop. By default the user does not have sudoer rights so you need to open a terminal and 'su -' with the root password. Edit the file /etc/sudoers. In that file, go to the entry which mentions '## Allows people in group wheel to run all commands'. Uncheck the option below it. Keep the % sign. Then edit the file /etc/group. In the line containing the wheel group, after root, put a coma and add the user_name. This will make this user, a sudoer. For multi-media codecs, go to http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/2853 and follow the instructions as given there. Copy the commands and directly paste them into a gui terminal using Shift + Insert. Please add sudo to the beginning of every command or do the whole exercise as root 'su -'. From that web page, please note that VLC player installation is optional and not necessary. The same is true for the installation of Amarock, as it is kde based and is a whopping 77 MB of download from the net, due to extra kde components. It can play mpg, wmv, mp3, 3gp, dvds etc. DVD playback is good. However VCD playback is kinky and after a few seconds of video and sound, it crashes whatever player you use. I tried 3 and all crashed. Looks like the new kernels are not VCD friendly. I could not try the USB of the MTNL ADSL router as mine is a 4 port one without usb. Overall a very good system and very pleasing to look at. I could not try out kde in it as it would have to be downloaded from the net. With latest hardware and more RAM, it should be a pleasure to work with. So go ahead and try it out. Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Anyone interested in OpenMoko Mobile Phone
by Saurabh Mehta 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hello Friends, Some of you might have heard regarding Linux based open source mobile phone OpenMoko. OpenMoko is a GNU / Linux based open software development platform. Developers have full access to OpenMoko source and they can tailor their implementations to underlying hardware platforms. If interested read more at http://www.openmoko.com/index.html For details of Standard Kit please check link below. http://www.openmoko.com/products-neo-base-00-stdkit.html This is a Developer Version<http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Developer_preview>Version. Currently its priced at 300$ (Approx INR 12300) and doesn't have stable OS as well as complete applications. The Consumer Version will be available in October and will be priced at 450$. Apart from better hardware, it will have stable OS and good applications. Read more at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02#.22Phase_2.22_.28GTA02.2C_.22Mass_Marke… I am very much interested in buying this phone, one problem is high transportation cost. It costs around 90$ for 1 piece from Taiwan to Mumbai. If three pieces are ordered it costs around 120$. So average total cost of mobile comes out to be 340$ i.e. approx 14000. Is anyone interested in buying this phone? Comments and questions are welcome. -- Keep Smiling and Mailing, Regards, Saurabh

Hi, We have installed Oracle 10gR2 with patch updated to 10.2.3 on a RHEL 4 , update 4. Some how the dba made a mistake to install the database file on / folder instead of the /var folder which had loads of disk space. Now the / folder is used upto 100% of the disk space. Can creating a softlink to /var/database/ help in this case. Is there any other way to resolve this problem thanks Hozefa

[OT] Sysadmin Day

24 Jul '07

http://www.sysadminday.com/ <quote> Show your appreciation Friday, July 27th, 2007, is the 8th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. On this special international day, give your System Administrator something that shows that you truly appreciate their hard work and dedication. Let's face it, System Administrators get no respect 364 days a year. This is the day that all fellow System Administrators across the globe, will be showered with expensive sports cars and large piles of cash in appreciation of their diligent work. But seriously, we are asking for a nice token gift and some public acknowledgement. It's the least you could do. Consider all the daunting tasks and long hours (weekends too.) Let's be honest, sometimes we don't know our System Administrators as well as they know us. Remember this is one day to recognize your System Administrator for their workplace contributions and to promote professional excellence. Thank them for all the things they do for you and your business. </quote> -- Anurag <B20A82C1>
