Re: [ilugd] Script to run at login but for non-root users only

[Chirag Anand]

You can use the local versions .profile and .bashrc in the user's $HOME
which won't affect the whole system.

[ilugd] Open Standards policy finalized--major victory for the FOSS community

[Venkatesh Hariharan]

The open standards policy has been finalized and it incorporates many of the
suggestions made by the FOSS community in India. In the previous draft dated
25/11/2009, our major objection was to section 4.1.2 of the policy which
said,

"4.1.2 The essential patent claims necessary to implement the Identified
Standard should preferably be available on a Royalty-Free (no payment and no
restrictions) basis for the life time of the standard. However, if such
Standards are not found feasible and in the wider public interest, then RF
on Fair, Reasonable and Non Discriminatory terms and conditions (FRAND) or
Reasonable and Non Discriminatory terms and conditions (RAND) could be
considered."

Our comment on this section reads:

The usage of terms like “preferably” in a section titled, “Mandatory
Characteristics”
weakens the section and could even render it meaningless. Mandatory
characteristics should be laid
out clearly and unambiguously,

The term “essential patent claims,” is meaningless because a standard cannot
be implemented
partially. Therefore, the ENTIRE standard should be royalty-free and not
just the "essential" parts of it. In other words, ALL patent claims
necessary to implement the standard should be royalty-free. Also, RF on
FRAND/RAND is self-contradictory. If a Standard is Royalty Free (RF) then it
cannot be RAND. Therefore, the wording of this section should be changed to
"ALL patent claims necessary to implement the Identified Standard should be
available on a Royalty-Free (no payment and no restrictions) basis for the
life time of the standard."

As you can see from the extract below, the points mentioned above have been
incorporated In the recently finalized policy. This section now reads:

4.1.2 The Patent claims necessary to implement the Identified Standard shall
be made available on a Royalty-Free basis for the life time of the Standard.

Overall, I'd say this is a major victory for the Indian FOSS community and
more than three years of hard work have paid off. The file can be downloaded
from:

Files in the /etc/ directory are system wide configuration files. 

The solution is already mentioned,

If your script is named "/usr/local/bin/foo.sh", try this in 
/etc/profile:

# Only run foo.sh for non-root users
[ `id -u` -ne 0 ] && /usr/local/bin/foo.sh

I think nobody is here to teach you, but as far as it is concerned to solve
any problem, i have already answered you.

Very good article. Again i would say there is nothing special in this
article. If you know little bit mathematics basics of file system you can
perform it. For more detail on this topic i would prefer you to take a look
at book "Operating System Concept by Galvin". You would definitely like it
and probably you would find the remedy.

algorithm to handle resizing of file systems which take care of files
written in the it.
Think of it once that how do we access any file on the disk?
Every file system has a link associated with the file to access it, more
likely the info about the files in a file system is stored in a table.
Nowadays dynamic file systems are also in use(/proc directory in Unix and
Linux), but we should talk on general scenarios here.
A file system is devided in smaller unit called block, particularly ext3 has
the block size of 4kb.
When we perform resizing OS first look in the file system table and then
perform the resizing operation. It does not gurantees for the protection of
data, however.
It was a brief of file system resizing, but it has a lot more to think and
discuss upon. I would suggest you to read that book.
And yes don't get confuse between LVM and et3 these are two different things
and are controlled by each other.

With all due respect, you haven't.  Taj asked a very specific question:

I haven't seen an answer on this list so far.  And if Taj, with his 
gazillions of years of experience, can't come up with an answer, I doubt 
if there are too many people on this list with the necessary technical 
qualifications who can.  I know I certainly can't.  I was hoping one of 
the deep-dive and/or broad implementation experience types like Ashish 
or Karanbir would have an idea, but given their lack of response, I 
assume they're as clueless as the rest of us on this matter.

Please note that "read up on OS theory" and "read up on LVM 
fundamentals", while useful in themselves, are no use in closing the 
issue that was raised.  He wanted a formula.  He has not got a formula.  
End of story.
