emacs ~/.history
vi ~/.history
etc.
The ~/.history is just another of those pesky plain text files that
Microsoft says is too hard to deal with...
Warning: it is certainly possible to totally confuse bash (or tcsh) if
you trash the ~/.history file. Not fatal or anything, just a lost
history. I don't know if messing with the history file itself will
affect any live shells, but it should affect tomorrows shell(s).

This is possible too. How does the system run with a *stable* (2.2.16

Subject: Logging ttyS0 ?
Date: Sun, 19 Nov 2000 17:05:22 GMT
Hello!
Does anyone know how to log the communication made over the serial
(/dev/ttyS0) port? I would like to make a log file over what characters
are sent to and received from the ttyS0. There is no need to know the
settings of the port (like setserial etc.)
Does anyone know a program that can do this?
If you have any suggestions, please also send an email to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks in advance!

Wierd having this in green.
Same way you run anything: just put in an entry in your
crontab. If you want in /etc/crontab, it would look like
this (you would not need all of it):
# M is minute to start: 00 - 59
# H is hour to start; 00 - 23
# D is day of month to start: 01 - 31
# m is month to start: 01 - 12 -- 01 is January, etc.
# d is day of week to start: 00 - 06 -- 00 is Sunday, etc.
# run-parts
# cron.daily is run Monday - Saturday.
# cron.weekly is run Sunday only.
# Do not start things from 01:00 to 02:59 because they will run
twice
# when the fall switch from daylight savings time to standard
time occurs,
# and may be skipped in the spring when 2:00 AM is skipped.
#M H D m d user program arguments
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
18 4,10,16,22 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.4xdaily
03 1 * * 1-6 root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
03 3 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
17 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
If it is to go into your personal crontab, it would look like
this one (in both cases, you should make them do what you want
and not what I do):
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.6081 installed on Sun Oct 1 18:52:29 2000)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37
vixie Exp $)
# M is minute to start: 00 - 59
# H is hour to start; 00 - 23
# D is day of month to start: 01 - 31
# m is month to start: 01 - 12 -- 01 is January, etc.
# d is day of week to start: 00 - 06 -- 00 is Sunday, etc.
#M H D m d program arguments
13 * * * * /home/seti/bin/check.output
You can find out all this by reading the manual pages for
crontab.
perl has nothing to do with it, just be sure it is executable;
you may need:
#! /usr/bin/perl
(or whereever your perl is) as the first line of the file.

What "Download Files To" directory? and how do you configure it?
In all the Netscapes I ever used, when you go to download something, it puts
up a dialog box asking where to put the stuff. It provides a default that you
should look at. You should fill it in if you do not like the default. If your
memory is poor, write it down before downloading. If you can remember part of
the filename, you should be easily able to find find them with the locate
command if you wait a day for updatedb to update the database. If you do not
wish to wait, run (as super-user) the updatedb command.

make the script executable (it should also have the "#!/usr/bin/perl" as
the first line, specifying *your* location of perl if not in /usr/bin/)
and then
42 * * * * user /path/to/perlscript
man crontab
man 5 crontab

You used LILO or such to boot, didn't you ?
I guess the problem is that the SB16 needs to be initialised on bootup
you've got 2 possibilities:
the clean one:
use isapnptools to initialize the card and load all the modules
afterwards
the "workaround":
use DOS, WINxx, or whatever to boot, make sure that SB16 drivers (DOS)
are loaded
and the initialisation exe is executed before booting the kernel using
LOADLIN.
(You can get around modules that way, as Linux can use compiled in
drivers if
it is booted "warm" with the soundcard being initialised before.

no idea, i suspect the problem to be somewhere else.
