Subversion-friendly Shell hacking?

What you can do is create a shell function called mv that will check if the file is in a subversion directory and do svn move on it. The function will override the call to mv and you'll need to call the real mv with /bin/mv. This will require some work since you need to have 'mv a b' and 'svn x/y/z/a b' and also handle the case when some files are in a subversion controlled directory but are not version controlled (just temp files of generated files).

SPF is not about guesswork and false positives. For one, it requires the active participation of every domain you wish to be safe about. Since that's probably less than 1% of the domains in today's Internet, you cannot just refuse mail from domains which don't participate in the SPF game. The only thing sensible to do right now, is to refuse messages which fail the SPF test for the domain they *claim* to come from; everything else should be considered neutral. The result? You'd be still left with as much scams coming from random info domains, but when it comes to some high-profile domains which already deployed SPF (microsoft.com, ebay.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com...), you'd filter out all scams pretending to be them. Note that SPF is not something reserved for high-profile domains. Every Nigerian scam domain can deploy SPF and then it'll be verifiable fair and square.

That's because SPF is not intended to solve the spam problem, it's intended to solve the domain masquarading problem. It's basically an authentication method where you trust a trusted 3rd party (the DNS server) to tell you which hosts are allowed to send mail on behalf of the domain that you're querying about. For example, my SPF record is: arik.baratz.org.43200 IN TXT v=spf1 include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all This means that I trust aspmx.googlemail.com to tell which hosts are allowed to send email on my behalf.

The immediate benefit from SPF is that it prevents joe-jobs, some spammer using your domain to send spam from. The future benefit when it is widely deployed would be black-list of domains that have sent spam. Since you can't forge your domain, you'd have to send spam from a domain you own, therefore you'd have to keep on buying domains as the existing ones get into the blacklist. -- Arik = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The 'cp' and 'mv' commands would retain their efficiency. I don't like the idea - it assumes that you always touch only files in your current directory. Baruch's suggestion sounds much more general to me. Efficiency differences are negligible here. BTW - regardless of the aliasing mechanism you adopt - how are you going to handle files which are copied/moved between an SVN directory and a non-SVN one? --Amos -- (a grizzly) can tear through a tree like a Jewish mother through self-esteem. - The Simpsons = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi all,
I am looking for an elegant solution to my internet connecivity.
I use actcom and connect with a script.
What I want is some fine tuning. I would like the script to run.
When my computer reboots (which isn't often, its Linux after all) When my
connection dies (this is the most important since I often access my home
computer from work)
I was given a script to use with cron, but I never found that it worked for me,
but I could be something I am doing wrong.
I would prefer a more elegent approach which checks to see if I am connected,
the way I do manually ie ifconfig and pinging a known address. If the connection
is down then run the connect script.
Any ideas would be most helpful. I will paste the various scripts I have at the
end of this email.
Thanks,
Aaron

There was smth called ppp-watch once. Personally, I use ip.up and
ip.down scripts called by ppp when connection goes up or down to notice
this events and check if the connection down was intentional. If it is
not - a script is being run that attempts to re-connect each 5 minutes
until successful.

Gregory.

It's probably sloppy code, but it works. It check to make sure there is
not already a cablestart running and if there is none, starts one.
