Xargs is pretty neat. You have to remember that there are different
implementations of it, too, so xargs on Linux would probably be
different than xargs on *BSD (it always is different in my experience).
The differences would mainly be in switches and default behavior.
I use xargs with lots of different utilities, just depending on what I
need to do with whatever files I'm catching. For example, let's say I
wanted to rename some files:
locate *.PDF | xargs -I % mv % `basename % .PDF`.pdf
It's handy if you have a bunch of files in one directory that you want
to check somehow:
ls *.{jpg,gif} | xargs -J % file % | grep -v 'JPEG\|GIF'
Moving files to another directory is a popular use:
locate *.suf | xargs -J % mv % /path/to/dir
Note that you do not always need to use xargs.
locate *.PDF | while read name; do
mv $name ${name%.PDF}.pdf
done
There's lots more you can do with it. Your imagination is almost your
only limitation. :-)

Powerful is a funny word to use when comparing Windows/Earlymac software with *Nix. TeX and groff are some of the most powerful typesetting/publishing software ever created, but there's a steep learning curve before you can be productive with it. You have to remember that *Nix was around long before graphical user interfaces were common. There're worlds of software available through a CLI (commandline interface). And, once you get used to it, this type of software has a lot of advantages over graphically oriented software. I am familiar with CorelDRAW (I have version 10) but so long as the software is quite powerful I'd be willing to put the effort in to learn it. I have never used CorelDRAW, so I don't know what all it does. But it sounds kinda like a drawing program with extras. (Probably an understatement.) You might look at some of the graphics packages in the new kde or gnome. Open Office probably has a fairly good graphics package. Some of the word processors have some graphics capability, though I doubt they're anywhere near where FrameMaker and that type of software is (was?). I want to design a yearbook for my college, I've got some nice stuff in CorelDRAW right now. It'd need to be fairly sturdy. Any information would be appreciated. I know of the KDE/GNOME projects but haven't used them, any feedback on these would be good. Your goal, then, is to create camera ready copy, right? I think that's what DTP normally implies, but even that could have changed since I was doing it. ;-) May I suggest that you take a larger view of the project and consider various ways to use the data that goes into a yearbook. It might be possible to create an SGML application with an SQL database that could give you many ways to reuse the data, including camera ready copy for the printer. But if you think of the data clearly and efficiently, you could also generate output for CDs for your class or school, a class website, specialized products for special interest groups in your class (sell the wrestling team or whoever all their data that didn't make it into the yearbook, for instance), or even print a web-based yearbook as well, without the restrictions that come with the printed format. Anyway, you could also just search graphics and desktop publishing and Linux/BSD application sites for software. I just googled desktop publishing +linux and got http://www.epinions.com/cmsw-Graphics-All-Adobe_Framemaker Seems you can get Adobe FrameMaker (with decent SGML capapbility) for some UNIX flavors after all.

This method is easier, but not necessarily an option on many systems. its nice for workstations and cleaning the system out, not so good if a production box that requires all ports that are installed... once pkgdb -F can be run without errors, cvsup, use `portsdb -Uu` then check for old ports using `portversion -l ''`. from this point on, you should have a clean system. to keep it clean, either always run pkgdb -F after installing a port, or always use `portinstall -N` to install your ports, which will update pkgdb on its own... portupgrade is pretty much an all or nothing port... if you use it religiously, its great... if you forget about it, its a hassle later on down the road. its a great port but works best on fresh installs... its a little harder to deal with if you have already installed a lot of ports. This has been one of the most helpful and practical pieces of advice I have ever gotten from this terrific list. Thank You! I'll start planning this operation. (Option 2 first, then Option 1.) (The portsdb is really still a mystery to me, and after letting it get so far out of synch as it is, I hope that I too can have a clean system again without reinstalling from scratch!) The advice above seems so good that I didn't trim it; I hope someone else can get as much help out of it as I have and therefore felt it's worth leaving intact. :-) -- David S.

mozilla 1.1+ for 4.5
Hi, I need a package of mozilla at least 1.1 that will run out of the box on a 4.5-STABLE system. mozilla.org has them only for 4.6. Please don't suggest I cvsup just now. This box has been in production since 3.0-STABLE and has been cvsupped to death. Before I can do another cvsup and rebuild, I'll need to wipe and reinstall a RELEASE level from scratch--the rebuilds and port updates have just been too messy. That will be when I get the time(TM). So, short of upgrading, any ideas on where to get a mozilla1.1 or later package that doesn't require libgtk-1.2.so.9? TIA! -- David S.

testing memory speed
Is there a utility to test memory speed? I looked at memtest in ports, but it looks like that mainly tests for faulty memory. I did a websearch and found a command: dd /dev/zero /dev/null, but that doesn't seem to summarize the memory speed easily for me. Can anyone else give me a pointer to how to test my machine's memory speed? How can I find out whether a memory stick is compatable with an old box? TIA. -- David S.

xargs -J
Hi,
I've been trying to use |xargs -J [] mv [] [].suffix
but to no avail.
I've tried |xargs -J mv \[\] \[\].suffix and variations but that
doesn't seem to work either. It seems to work fine with the -i
command under GNU xargs, but not under Freebsd.
An example would be
$ touch one two three
$ ls one two three | xargs -J [] mv [] [].suffix
I should now have one.suffix two.suffix three.suffix. At least,
that's what happens with GNU and the -i \{\}. (FreeBSD manpage says
to use -J [] without escapes though.)
Can anyone lend me a clue here please?
TIA.

Re: Window/File Manager
-Original Message- From: Ryan Sommers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 03 Nov 2002 21:55:37 -0600 Subject: Window/File Manager I recently decided to bring my old Presario 1220 our of retirement and make a small toy laptop to play around with. Unfortunately it's only a 200mhz/64mb RAM system with a 2.1gb harddrive. I would like to use X if possible but given the hardware limitations I really can't have a bloated featureful WM or FM and still have a usable laptop (after all if the GUI is slow I might as well install 98SE). What are your favorite ultra-light WM's and/or FMs? I'm just looking for something that does the job, looking nice would be an added benefit but I doubt I'll have a high color depth to play with anyway. Fluxbox seems to run fine on every old piece of junk machine I have around here, but there are lighter ones. Still, FB meets my needs on old 486's with 16-24mb RAM. If you need faster than that, I suggest you look at simply using a TTY and a terminal multiplexer like screen. As for a file manager, I haven't used one in almost ten years. The bash command line does everything better than any file manager I've ever seen. If you're looking for a fast and lightweight way to manipulate files, with more power than you will ever use, pick up a book on your favorite shell, such as bash or pdksh or whatever (I'm sure lots of folks here like csh-like shells too!). -- David S.

I tried installing Limewire from the website and it requires a bit more configuring than I care to do right now. Thanks guys. The biggest thing with Limewire is it requires the latest and greatest java runtime libraries, which usually run under linux compat. mode. Some other gnutella clients I've tried and liked are lopster, gnapster, knapster (I think...), and gnut and teknap for cli environment. I think I've also tried gnutella and gnubile but don't remember much about them. Give lopster and gnapster a try for opennap servers; that will probably work out best. -- David S.

yet another sendmail permission problem
Well, I had been getting this error: Jul 23 14:02:18 juno sendmail[2386]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(dsj): can not write to queue directory /var/spool/clientmqueue/ (RunAsGid=0, required=25): Permission denied until I recently copied the submit.mc file from /usr/src/contrib/yadayada to /etc/mail. Did a make submit.cf and restarted the sendmail daemon using make stop and make start I also double checked the permissions on various files and directories according to what I found in UPDATING and /etc/mail/README as well as in the archives. Now I've got an error I haven't seen before: Jul 23 14:46:29 juno sm-mta[2675]: g6NIkT53002675: SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot write ./dfg6NIkT53002675 (bfcommit, uid=0, gid=25): Permission denied I've done a locate sm-mta but can't find it (using several regex's).
