gnu/linux on NT..:D

... "If Linux runs on every architecture, why should another operating system be in its way? " ... Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows (see Screenshots). http://www.colinux.org/ -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Linux Command Docs

Dear Friends, I remember that there was a discussion some months back -- something about wanting docs for RHCE. Well I have a four PDF Docs on The Essential Command Line a.k.a The Linux Commands Primer by Mr N Deepak ( www.ndeepak.info). It is released under the GNU Free Documentation License. The original docs were in a zipped text format. I copied them to The OpenOffice.org Writer and exported them to PDFs. I am attaching them as the folowing four files- 1) 1-intro.pdf 2) 2-imp_cmds.pdf 3) 3-advanced 4) 4-vi-emacs.pdf I am sure this will also be useful to all those who want to seriously master the command line & for RHCE preparations. Please scan the files before downloading.I have scanned them before sending. I do not know whether attachments are allowed in this mailing list here or not. But if I have blundered here then apologies in advance to the list moderator. Hope everyone finds this useful. Regards, Suhas Win an evening with the Indian cricket captain: Yahoo! India Promos.

ok Philip, i tried writing from a different function. and the code is like this. [ this is from my program ] void write_file(char *src, char *dest){ char buff[4096]; uint16_t n,fd,ft; fd = open(src,O_RDONLY); ft = open(dest,O_CREAT | O_WRONLY,RW_EVERYONE); while(n = read(fd,buff,sizeof(buff)) > 0){ printf("\n n = %u",n); if(write(ft,buff,n) != n){ printf("\n write error"); getchar(); } getchar(); } } -------------- RW_EVERYONE is #defined getchar() has been used to step through. n is still 1. i am very frustrated ( n = 1 ); can u figure out this problem... can anybody please help me out with this. also please tell me why does this happen. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

READ ... problem
by Linux User 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

my program downloads a 20mb file and then copies it to a file in some other folder. Now when i copy...i.e when i try to read from this downloaded file n = read(fd,buff,sizeof(buff)); n is always 1 even though the buffer size is different. i want my copy to be fast and not 1 byte at a time. WHY IS N = 1 ? whats going wrong ??? thankx __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html

Reminder for you... (cool script)
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Can anyone help me to adapt this script to: (i) give me a reminder not just for the current day, but all upcoming days for the entire month. Maybe the next 15 or 30 days, to allow me to plan ahead. (ii) Pipe this reminder to email to myself. Thanks! FN ---------- Forwarded message ---------- TWO INTERESTING tiny scripts below, from *Wicked Cool Shell Scripts* (Dave Taylor, No Starch Press, 2004, San Francisco). Both combine to implement a simple calendar program that help you keep track of the events. Extremely useful in the real world of work... The first script, *addagenda*, enables you to specify either recurring or one-time events. All dates are validated and saved, along with one-line event description, in an *.agenda* file in your home directory. For its part, the second script, *agenda*, checks all known events, showing which are scheduled for the current date. Useful for remembering birthdays, events, appointments, schedules. HOW IT WORKS: Weekly, annual and one-time events are accepted. As entries are added to the agenda file, their specified dates are 'normalized' and compressed so that 3 April becomes 3Apr, and Thursday becomes Thu. The *agenda* script checks for events by taking the current date and transforming it into three possible date string formats. It then simply compares each of these date strings to each line in the *.agenda* data file. This script, writes Dave Taylor, just "scratches the surface of this complex and interesting topic". It would be nice to have a look a few days ahead. This script could be used on a *nix box to send out systemwide reminders. Imagine newspaper reporters getting a reminder of what's on the schedule on that day. Simply have the *agenda* script on each user's machine point to a shared read-only .*agenda* file, and then add a call to the agenda script in each user's *.login* or similar file.

Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux
by Trevor Warren 24 Mar '04

24 Mar '04

Book review: O'Reilly's Pocket Guide to Linux by Henry Kingman (Mar. 23, 2004) O'Reilly's "Pocket Guide" series of books are among the most-used books on my book shelf. These slim volumes are a refreshing departure from the "bigger is better" norm among computer book publishers, most of whom use large fonts, out-of-date excerpts from the Linux Documentation Project How-Tos, and of course a CD or two in the back to amass reference tomes more impressive in bulk than in content or organization. As an editor myself, I understand the value of organizing and condensing information. Mark Twain certainly said it well when he ended a long letter with an apology about not having had the time to write at shorter length. http://www.desktoplinux.com/articles/AT7471953382.html -- ( >- -< ) /~\ __ Scaling FSF/OS in the __ /~\ | \) / Enterprise : trevor.w(a)pvision.biz \ (/ | |_|_ \ Call Now: 9820349221 / _|_| \____________________________________/

Hello Luggers, My query is withe respect to JAVA Native Interfcae (JNI) on Linux A JNI call is an inproc or outproc call? My thought: Its an inproc call. Any java application has at least one instance of JVM (a process). All the java byte code would be executed using functions in libjvm.so and other helper shared libs. A System.loadLibrary() call will invoke some func in libjvm.so (or other helper) and do the task of making the said library available to the current JVM (I.e. the .so will be loaded in JVM process 's address space) Thus a native method call would be an inprocess call. Is my thinking correct?Indiatimes Email now powered by APIC Advantage. Help! HelpClick on the image to chat with me
