[SLUG] Linux from M$ (The Register)

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/1/11730.html I think they are missing the point though. I don't care if people sell Linux distributions. As long as any changes to the OS remain under the GPL. - Jill. ___ Jill Rowling Senior Design Engineer Unix

RE: [SLUG] Religious Wars: The Next Battle?

Is screen Linux-only or has it been ported to other os's ? (Not that it really matters I guess... I still prefer X and if I get a non-X console then I just sh all round the place. I can usually remember up to 3 deep or so :)) - Jill. ___ Jill Rowling

RE: [SLUG] Running every 60 seconds

AFAIK cron kicks in every minute. Unless you use a real time kernel, that is. Is your application time critical? If not, just get it to run forever and sleep for 50 seconds. Set its priority to low (man renice) if necessary. - Jill. ___ Jill Rowling
