AW: Timestamp a command?
I usually send the output to syslogd (and to a central loghost) - and there any message is getting its timestamp: vmstat 5 86400 | logger -p local0.info -t myvmstat This might be a good solution if you want the output on a central place anyway Regards, Jürgen Friedrichs -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Tom Duerbusch Gesendet: Dienstag, 23.

The command: vmstat 10 8640 vmstat.out I start this up at 5 PM, so I can see if some process starts using the Linux system at night. Great results, but without a timestamp, I don't know what time, something start using the system.

Re: curiosity: pronouncing sudo
It is an interesting question. The fact o the matter is that Linux is named after Linus Torvalds. The predominant pronounciations of Linux are: 'LINE-ix' and 'LI-nucks', but the name Linus (in Helsinki at any rate) is pronounced 'LEE-noose'. So the 'correct' pronounciation of Linux should technically be 'LEE-nukes' I have heard both pronounciations and arguments for each. It is true that it stands for Substitute-User DO but it is also allowing a user to use a psuedonym (I realize this is something of a stretch) It is also worthwhile to note that the SU part comes directly from the utility sudo is intended to replace: su That command has been pronounced 'Es You' by everyody I have ever heard pronounce it, so perhaps it's 'Es You Do' though that also sounds an awful lot like Ef You Dude.

With Intellish h/w on 100 Mbit ethernet, I do not compress. dd if=/dev/dasdb \ | gzip -1 \ | ssh example.com gzip -dc \ | dd of=/dev/dasdb I think bzip compresses more, gzip compresses faster. Probably, to send over a network you don't want the absolute most compression (and hence the -1). You might want to use bs= to send larger blocks, and if you have buffer (it's in debian) you can use it to keep the pipes full by overlapping disk and network I/O. Note, one can use tar similarly. Tar is best when you want to change filesystems or filesystem structure, dd when you don't. Both may require some extra fiddling.

Re: curiosity: pronouncing sudo
Erik N Johnson wrote: It is an interesting question. The fact o the matter is that Linux is named after Linus Torvalds. The predominant pronounciations of Linux are: 'LINE-ix' and 'LI-nucks', but the name Linus (in Helsinki at any rate) is pronounced 'LEE-noose'. So the 'correct' pronounciation of Linux should technically be 'LEE-nukes' Iff you're a Fin. The point I take from his explanation (it was used for a while as a sound bite for testing RHs sound setup) is that Linux should sound fairly like Linus. I have heard both pronounciations and arguments for each. It is true that it stands for Substitute-User DO but it is also allowing a user to use a psuedonym (I realize this is something of a stretch) It is also worthwhile to note that the SU part comes directly from the utility sudo is intended to replace: su That command has been pronounced 'Es You' by everyody I have ever heard pronounce it, so perhaps it's 'Es You Do' though that also sounds an awful lot like Ef You Dude.

NFS - z/OS and Linux
TNG here, so please bear with me. I am in need of additional information regarding an NFS mount between z/OS and Linux (RHEL). I understand the how-to. It is more of the underlying process that I am curious about. Particularly, if once mounted (zOS being server, and Linux being client) and writing/copying file directly to mounted directory, is there translation going on (I assume yes). and also, are the file attributes (record length, blocksize, etc) required/preserved when going to/from? Basically, what I am trying to do is share data between z/OS and Linux. I have found the other thread zLinux access to z/OS DASDhttp://www.mail-archive.com/linux-390@vm.marist.edu/msg47939.html and appears that final recommendation is to go with NFS mount, but need to know the above information. I apologize if I've mixed any concepts. Thanks for any information.

Re: NFS - z/OS and Linux
If this helps, here is how I have mine mounted: From our RHEL server named ldxzvm03 in /etc/fstab: hiper-cpur:/hfs/u/abcdef,binary/sftp/abcdef/center3 nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0 hiper-cpur is the Hipersocket IP of a z/OS LPAR. On the z/OS side, we have the following defined in the NFS export file: /hfs/u/abcdef -access=hiper-ldxzvm03 hiper-ldxzvm03 being the Hipersocket IP of our Linux guest. Any translation would be specified in the mount commands (man mount on the Linux side) or in the servers NFS attributes file. In our case we are pushing things across in binary mode. Some of the z/OS side NFS server attributes you might want to look at are: # translate related text/binary CR, CRLF, LF, LFCR, or NOEOL. blankstrip xlat(member) cln_ccsid(819) srv_ccsid(1047) # for files created via NFS recfm(vb), blksize(0), lrecl(8196) dsorg(ps) space(100,10), blks norlse dir(27) So the answer is it depends on if/how you mount the client and configure the server as to whether data is automatically translated. We have some MVS data sets mounted out to AIX that we translate automatically. One thing we ran into there was when we converted some of our AIX files to Unicode. NFS can't tranlsate a multi-byte character set down to a single-byte character set, so beware of the code pages. Or, make the NFS mount binary and translate it once you get to the other side with something outside of NFS. We do both ways. z/OS NFS manual: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/CPN1CO60/CONTENTS?SHELF=CPN1BS60DT=20080710133848 __ Tom Stewart Infrastructure Analyst John Deere - z/OS Support Services em: [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Leigh Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2008 12:59 PM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: NFS - z/OS and Linux TNG here, so please bear with me.

Re: Piping dd to tar/bzip/etc for in stream compression
I am looking to take dd disk images of some small disk volumes and compres= s the dd output in stream rather than after the fact. Is that possible? My experiments so far seem to indicate that it needs to be a two step process.= I'd prefer that it be one step, but I've not succeeded in getting it to work with pipes. With most systems you don't need dd for disks, just for tapes. For unix I/O to tapes it is one read/write per tape block, so dd is often used to reblock data. tar will write block of a specified size, but most other programs don't. tar cf - . | dd of=/dev/tape obs=32k tar cf - . | gzip | dd of=/dev/tape obs=32k to compress a raw disk to a disk file, dd if=/dev/disk ibs=32k | gzip outfile but I think you can also just do gzip /dev/disk outfile You only need dd if you need reblocking, either as input or output. If you want to write the result to tape, gzip /dev/disk | dd of=/dev/tape obs=32k or dd if=/dev/disk ibs=32k | gzip | dd of=/dev/tape obs=32k Disk I/O is normally buffered by the system automatically, but it may be faster and/or more efficient to use a large block size with dd. dd without an if will read stdin, without of will write stdout. gzip without any parameters will compress stdin and write stdout. -- glen -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
