Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello,
My first question is fvwm related:
Does anyone know how to make a fvwm desktop button act like a on|off
switch, i.e. when its pressed down, its on, and when its beveled, its
switched off.
Switching it on should launch some command plus changing the button
appearance to non-beveled.
Clicking on it when its non-beveled, should launch another command, plus
make the button beveled again.
In an earlier .fvwmrc file I had something similar configured for the
pager control, that would disable or enable mouse movements slipping
over to a neighboring desktop area, it looked like:
*GoodStuff Scroll clamp.xpm TogglePage
But on my new .fvwmrc file the similar syntax does not seem to work,
maybe the thing was attached to a larger function? but I could not
replicate it in my new .fvwmrc file which seem to use a slightly
different syntax, assuming the equivalent would be:
*FvwmButtons Scroll clamp.xpm TogglePage
My second question is probably a bit easier:
I have a bunch of files in a directory, i.e.:
blabla.html.bak
blablabla.html.bak
bla.html.bak
blabla.shtml.bak
(plus many more..)..
I would like to is run a single command to rename all files to the same
basename but without the .bak, so the resulting files would be named:
blabla.html
blablabla.html
bla.html
blabla.shtml
Something like:
mv -[whatever basename minus the .bak] *.bak
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Kati

I'm having similar problems with the INITIO Ultra SCSI card and a
Yamaha 6x4x16 CDRW. I'm pretty sure what happens is that the Yamaha
gets confuzzled when the termination isn't just right and then does
some sort of SCSI bus reset that crashes the machine.
In my config I have the Yamaha and an AIWA 4mm DAT connected at the
same time. The DAT is external. Someone mentioned in another thread
that sometimes the SCSI card doesn't have enough juice to power the
internal and external terminators. So my next attempt is to enable
the terminator power on the DAT and see if things improve. You might
want to try something similar.
This is either a bug in the Yamaha firmware or the INITIO device
driver, I can't tell which yet.

'Controlerless' modems come in several flavors, with or without DSP.
What is missing from all 'Controlerless' modems is the micro-processor
that drives the DSP, etc. This micro-processor element presents a
'normal' RS232 serial port interface on the PCI bus -- it makes the
modem look just like a COM port. 'Controlerless' don't have real COM
port logic, although the Win* driver *fakes* a COM in *software*.
It *sounds* like this is in fact a 'Controlerless' modem (aka a flavor
of winmodem).
ALL external, RS232 modems work with Linux -- this is a no-brainer
claim.

There is a program called mmv meant for multiple moves, that can do
it. So far I know, it is nowhere in the standard installations. You

Hello.

between the SURFboard 1000 (internal) and the SURFboard 1100 (external)

Linux ... oops, look at that, you can click the Connect button, but then
it waits for a reply that never comes ... I look around at the source
some, and I saw that if I go to http://192.168.100.1/connecting.html in
Linux, it'll connect ... but, I can't figure out how to disconnect,
and I know that it's not supposed to be this hard to set up ... I am
running RedHat 6.2 with the 2.2.16 kernel, and I really, really would
appreciate any help that you could give me. Right now the only way that
I can disconnect in Linux is to unplug the phone line from the wall for
about 30 seconds ...

I've commented out the following line in /etc/inittab:

ca::ctrlaltdel:/bin/cat /etc/noreset.txt
BTW, is it possible to execute this line more than one time?

newsgroups with similar messages while hiding behind a N/A name will
make you look like a complete jerk and you will be put into a lot of

Just to throw in a csh/tcsh example for the mv command:
% foreach i (*.bak)
? mv $i $i:r

%
the :r strips the extension.

Hello,
I'd just got hse yesterday in montreal. Went and hooked it up to a RH 6.0
machine with pppd 2.3.7 , and pppoe from roaring penguin. cpu is idling
mostly, and things are wroking.
But the transfers come in bursts, between which there is a considerable
delay, and the sustained transfer rate is about 7 or 8 KB/s as reported by
browsers ( lynx also ).
Ping times to my interface were identical to those with other computers
inside sympatico. 50-30 milliseconds. Ping times to yahoo.com ranged from
70ms ( rarely )to 120 ms ( most of the time). A check at dslreports pegged
it at 70kbps up , 80 kbps down once and then 144 kbps up 80 down.
Any idea if this is a line thing?
My 56 k modem never goes above 33.6 , even before I had "hse" ( what a
