I have HTML files (and other files) in templates/. I have some common files in common/. After any changes, this is run: perl mkMake.pl > Makefile make all mkMake.pl: $all=''; foreach $r (`/bin/ls templates/*`){ chomp($r); $r=~s/templates\///; $s=''; foreach (`/bin/ls common/*`) { chomp; $s.=" $_"; } print "/11/http/website/$r: templates/$r $s\n"; print "\t /home/satyap/homepage/up2date.pl $r\n"; $all.=" /11/http/website/$r"; } print "all: $all"; #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w $srcdir='templates'; $common='common'; $upload='/11/http/website'; $tag='SPPUpdate'; #$srcdir=location of HTML source files with special tags #$common=location of common snippets #$upload=Complete files placed here ready for upload #All paths relative to script directory. All paths do not end in / #$tag= $file=$ARGV[0] || ''; if($ARGV[0] eq ''){print "Argument missing\n";exit;} print "Updating $file\n"; $file=~s/$srcdir\///; chomp($file); open(I,"<$srcdir/$file") || die "$0: $srcdir/$file: $!"; open(O,">$upload/$file") || die "$0: $srcdir/$file: $!"; while(<I>) { if (//$1/; open(SNIP,"<$common/$_") || die "$common: $!"; while(<SNIP>) {print O $_} close(SNIP); } else {print O $_} } #EOF Slopy, doesn't use strict, etc., but it works. yay. -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> Coffee not found: user halted

Linux Sucks?
by aditya newalkar 10 Jun '02

10 Jun '02

Hi Luggers, here is something to laugh about.... http://www.linuxsucks.com Check out the Linux vs. Windows NT link. Enlightening ;) However SOME points written about GNU/Linux cannot be ignored. Like limited hardware support (I myself am a victim of SiS6215) and lack of multithreaded kernel on GNU/Linux (this prevented us from porting our software from Solaris to Linux). Nevertheless site is worth a look-laugh and ignore... ===== rgds, Aditya N. ---------------------- Junior Research Fellow, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Powai, Mumbai, 400076. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

by Poonam P 08 Jun '02

08 Jun '02

Hello, Is it, in any way, possible to use Internal modem (Motorola-SM56) on a DOS only (MSDOS 5.00) PC ? It is called WINMODEM, so I guess there is no simple way to use it, but if there are any turn-arounds ... Thx in advance.

by Poonam P 04 Jun '02

Hi All, Can someone help this novice with a shamm Shell / Perl script to be executed at the prompt. I have a MySql db with TABLE=TEST FIELD=LIST RECORDs= 1pc49 6qh79 sbe59 etc. I need a script that will connect to the db and append each record to a text file till end of database. there may be simpler ways to do this, but i need a script to do this as I have further processing to do. the script can be directly executed from promtp as ./script_name Any pointers will also help. Thx in advance.

Connecting to Dishnet DSL
by Himanshu Shukla 02 Jun '02

02 Jun '02

Hi, I have been trying to get Dishnet DSL working on my Mandrake 8.2 machine. This is a USB modem supplied by Dishnet in Mumbai, and is probably a Conexant-make (as is seen in Windows). When I plug this in Linux, the power light does turn on, as in all USB devices, and on running `usbview' I can see it listed as "USB ADSL modem". But my problem is how do I connect to the net? Is there any tool available, like wvdial, that allows ADSL connections, through USB modems? If not, what are the scripts for ppp? Any specific parameters for Dishnet? Any pointers to the same will prove extremely useful. Thanks, --------- Regards, Himanshu

linux PPC assembly programmers
by Philip S Tellis 31 May '02

31 May '02

if anyone is (or knows) programming under linux on the PPC, specifically assembly, then a friend of mine needs your help. Contact colin(a)colino.net AFAIK, this is non-commercial. ie, you probably won't be paid. It's more like adding features to an existing Free Software project.
