This was my proposal during the meet, for the benefit of everybody who cannot afford the expensive magazine subscriptions of various linux journals. However, there were two points against it: one, that the donation doesnt cover this kind of costs. Second, that logistically there are several problems with this setup (who manages the library, wherre does the magazines stay, who ensures that they are returned on time, etc.) - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandip (at) puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt.

Tex qualifies as a mathematical type setting tool, can our resident Tex experts demonstrate that or the use of Klyx or Lyx for generating Tex output.

Re: [ilugd] Infrastructure for ILUGD
Hi all Is this possible, that we could ask a major library to allow ILUGD members access to their resources at subsidised rates(it _is_ a large group) and pay the subsidised membership fees from the sponsor's donation. I am not aware of the membership fees of some of the major libraries, so please excuse me if they are low enough for students to pay. Thanks Shehjar __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.

Re: [ilugd] Tool to check mailflow.
Joe Spammer wrote: The network monitoring tool nagios comes with plugins to check whether an smtp server is up. These plugins are independent programs which exit with an error code indicating whether the smtp server is accessible or not. Maybe you can reuse such a plugin on the servers in your case. Thanks for the info, but to check if a SMTP server is up, I could write a script to send mails using that server at regular intervals. Mostly the problems with the mail flow is not caused by the SMTP server, but some other problems in the network, or the Mailsweeper software which is used to scan the mails for spam and virus etc. I'm actually looking for a program which sends and receive mails at regular intervals and alerts me when it's not able to do so. We've a script which sends mails every 15 minutes, but to receive we use Thuderbird. Someone has to check manually if the mail is coming every 15 minutes. When we are busy with much important work, we fail to do this. Hope that you got my question. -- Mejo ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
