Re: Program for quoting text like in email?
Can anyone recommend a program/shell script/editor plugin etc, that
can take arbitrary text as input and quote it like email programs
quote emails with a preceding character?
awk '{print $0}' filename
or just type:
awk '{print $0}'
paste some text into the buffer, and hit ctrl-D when you're done. It'll
return the quoted text which you can paste into your webpage.
This syntax might be a bit easier to remember than the sed command
Kumar gave. Plus you can add the fmt command he mentioned to reformat
your text to a certain width if you choose.

Re: Suggestion for a mail package
We are planning to run an email server at my university. We would like to use something that has a nice Web based gui for its configuration. Does anyone have any good ideas? We have tried courier and exim, but their web-based GUIs were not that good. Any other email packages out there we can try? I don't know if it's available as a debian package, but Horde/IMP is not bad as far as free webmail goes. It's mail server agnostic, so you can choose what you want. -- section .data sig: db 'Spiro Harvey',0x0a db 'UNIX Specialist, Writer, Editor',0x0a homepage: db 'http://twiddle.starforge.net.nz',0x0a signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: Backup tar (/dev/st0)

A tarball is one single file. The beginning of that file is on the first tape. It scans through the tarball (as the table of contents data is effectively scattered throughout the archive) until it finds your file, then extracts it. Having said that, if you knew the exact bit locations your file starts on the tape, and its exact length, you could extract it with dd. -- section .data sig: db 'Spiro Harvey',0x0a db 'UNIX Specialist, Writer, Editor',0x0a homepage: db 'http://twiddle.starforge.net.nz',0x0a signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: email notification when a process ends?
while ps -ef | grep $processname; do sleep 60; done echo done | \ mail -s subject user But it might be tricky to identify the right process. grepping ps will invariably also return the grep line, so this will hit a false positive. Better to use pgrep rather than ps grep. Using pgrep without any switches will just return the process number. -- section .data sig: db 'Spiro Harvey',0x0a db 'UNIX Specialist, Writer, Editor',0x0a homepage: db 'http://twiddle.starforge.net.nz',0x0a signature.asc Description: PGP signature

My screen res is 1920x1200 at 96 dpi, and with the 10x20 font, an 80x24 xterm takes up almost a quarter of my screen. -- section .data sig: db 'Spiro Harvey',0x0a db 'UNIX Specialist, Writer, Editor',0x0a homepage: db 'http://twiddle.starforge.net.nz',0x0a signature.asc Description: PGP signature

thunar-data package issue in sid
I'm reluctant to post in the appropriate xfce4 mailing list as it seems to be full of bots and autoresponders judging by the archive.. I'm a n00b to debian, so don't know the process to follow, but this is the problem as I perceive it... background: I just upgraded from Lenny to Sid and thunar broke. I don't have all of xfce installed, as I just use fluxbox. turns out that a couple of days ago a Thunar update was approved for amd64... This meant that thunar-data_1.0.0-2_all.deb was uploaded along with new versions of thunar and associated support packages for amd64.. Being an all architecture package, thunar-data_1.0.0-2 got installed on my i386 system. however, thunar_0.9.0-10_i386 and libthunar-vfs-1-2_0.9.0-10_i386 each have a Depend of thunar-data (= 0.9.0-10) so naturally, thunar-data got upgraded, thunar couldn't meet the dependencies, and any packages depending on thunar broke. the only ones installed on my system happened to be squeeze and xfburn. I fixed the problem by manually installing thunar-data_0.9.0-10_all.deb with dpkg, then following that with an apt-get install thunar squeeze xfburn. Is this something I've done wrong? Are there i386 packages on their way? Can I build the packages and upload them somewhere? -- section .data sig: db 'Spiro Harvey',0x0a db 'UNIX Specialist, Writer, Editor',0x0a homepage: db 'http://twiddle.starforge.net.nz',0x0a signature.asc Description: PGP signature
