"uname -r" gives the revision of the kernel (the 2.6.24-15-rtai part), so this command would change depending on the kernel version running when you issue the command. The other interesting thing you can do is "/usr/realtime*/bin/rtai-config" (without the quotes). I'm not sure if that will run all matching commands or just the first one, but that will go to a directory that begins with realtime, and execute the bin/rtai-config found within it.

There's also a link for "View Other Revisions", where you can see every change that has been made to that page, along with the notes (if any) the editor put in when making the change. It's not quite CVS, but it's reasonably easy to go back to some date for a particular page (not the whole site though) - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
