Have you though of setting up a perl script, which could then be run via the
cron daemon (crond) every x minutes (or however often you wanted to analyse
the results).
perl can access the db, and can be made to analyse just about anything, some
major companies happen to use it for checking their data for fraud, and
today i just found out from slashdot that their is a 7 kline piece of perl
that will decode DVD CSS encryption (perhaps an insult to the term
encryption!)
perl could do it nicely. but you will have to write it yourself. but you can
find tutorials on how to do this for free on the net. and example code..

Hi,
I have to build a web page with a questionnaire. People will respond
to some questions, then send the results back to me. We already have
decided on the PHP4/mySQL/Apache alternative, running on a Linux system
(RedHat 6.2). What I'm looking for a an application, running on Linux,
which could do data analysis.
What I mean is, the system should be able send the responses of the
user to an application, running on the server, which would do some
medium to advanced statistic analysis on the data, and then send some
results back to the user, and store them in the DB too. So, I'm looking
for suggestions on how to do this? Is there any Linux application
available (free or not) that could automatically get data from a mySQL
DB, or any other data source which I could produce using PHP/mySQL, and
then do a series of computation, returning the results in my DB or in
some other way...?
Looks complicated, and I'm open to every suggestions! :)
Thank you,
Guillaume.Boudreau

It depends on whether you already have an interpreter already present.

ncurses.
The same is true for X terminal displays. If your distribution sets
the TERM to something strange like xterm-24-color, you can simply
reset it to a generic value from the command line:
$ TERM="xterm"; export TERM
10.3. INET: Warning: old style ioctl... called!
You are trying to use the old network configuration utilities. The new
ones can be found on
ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/Networking/PROGRAMS/NetTools/ (source only,
I'm afraid).
Note that they cannot be used just like the old-style programs. See
the NET-2 HOWTO for instructions on how to set up the old-style
networking programs correctly. Even better, see the NET-3 HOWTO and
upgrade your networking software.
10.4. ld: unrecognized option '-m486'
You have an old version of ld. Install a newer binutils package that
contains an updated ld. Look on tsx-11.mit.edu in
/pub/linux/packages/GCC/ for binutils-2.6.0.2.bin.tar.gz.
10.5. GCC Says, "Internal compiler error."
If the fault is repeatable (i.e., it always happens at the same place
in the same file--even after rebooting and trying again, using a
stable kernel) you have discovered a bug in GCC. See the GCC Info
documentation (type F1-i in Emacs, and select GCC from the menu) for
details on how to report the error. Make sure you have the latest
version, though.
Note that this is probably not a Linux-specific problem. Unless you
are compiling a program many other Linux users also compile, you
should not post your bug report to any of the comp.os.linux groups.
If the problem is not repeatable, you may be experiencing memory
corruption. Refer to the answer: ("Make Says, "Error 139."")
10.6. Make Says, "Error 139."
Your compiler (GCC) dumped core. You probably have a corrupted, buggy,
or old version of GCC--get the latest release or EGCS. Alternatively,
you may be running out of swap space. Refer to: ("My Machine Runs Very
Slowly when I Run GCC / X / ...")
If this doesn't fix the problem, you are probably having problems with
memory or disk corruption. Check that the clock rate, wait states, and
refresh timing for your SIMMS and cache are correct (hardware manuals
are sometimes wrong, too). If so, you may have some marginal SIMMS, or
a faulty motherboard or hard disk or controller.
Linux is a very good memory tester--much better than MS-DOS based
memory test programs.
Reportedly, some clone x87 math coprocessors can cause problems. Try
compiling a kernel with math emulation ("How Do I Upgrade/Recompile My
Kernel?") no387 kernel command line flag on the LILO prompt to force
the kernel to use math emulation, or it may be able to work and still
use the '387, with the math emulation compiled in but mainly unused.
More information about this problem is available on the Web at
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/.
10.7. Shell-Init: Permission Denied when I Log In.
Your root directory and all the directories up to your home directory
must be readable and executable by everybody. See the manual page for
chmod or a book on Unix for how to fix the problem.
10.8. No Utmp Entry. You Must Exec ... when Logging In.
Your /var/run/utmp is screwed up. You should have
/var/run/utmp
in your /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/*. See, ("I Have Screwed Up My
System and Can't Log In to Fix It.") Note that the utmp may also be
found in /var/adm/ or /etc/ on some older systems.
10.9. Warning--bdflush Not Running.
Modern kernels use a better strategy for writing cached disk blocks.
In addition to the kernel changes, this involves replacing the old
update program which used to write everything every 30 seconds with a
more subtle daemon (actually a pair), known as bdflush. Get
bdflush-n.n.tar.gz from the same place as the kernel source code ("How
Do I Upgrade/Recompile My Kernel?") and compile and install it.
bdflush should be started before the usual boot-time file system
checks. It will work fine with older kernels as well, so there's no
need to keep the old update around.
10.10. Warning: obsolete routing request made.
This is nothing to worry about. The message means that your version
route is a little out of date, compared to the kernel. You can make
the message go away by getting a new version of route from the same
place as the kernel source code. ("How Do I Upgrade/Recompile My
Kernel?")
10.11. EXT2-fs: warning: mounting unchecked file system.
You need to run e2fsck (or fsck -t ext2 if you have the fsck front end
program) with the -a option to get it to c

RedHat 6.0, Kernel 2.2.5-15
When I changed user's password with 'passwd' command, Linux gave me
an error message:
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: Critical error - immediate abort
then the passwd command is hung in the process.
I've tried to kill it with kill -9 , but it didn't succeed.
Any other way I can kill the process ?
I think it did kill it; did it still have a process number? It may
be zombified, which basically means that it is dead, but it's parent
hasn't mourned/noticed yet.
When passwd expects to receive a password, it changes the terminal
settings so nothing gets echoed.
Type:
reset
or

to restore to a normal terminal (believe me; passwd did get killed

The only time kill -9 won't work is if there was a kernel oops - I've
only seen this in cutting-edge only-works-for-the-developer kernel

Trying to connect to my ISP.
I have no graphic environment.
When I execute pppd, the connection goes only so far
and then I get disconnected AND the root session closes
on me.
The log file mentions this :
tty_io.c : used obsolete /dev/cua1 - update software to use /dev/ttyS1
This isn't the problem; give the 'debug' option to pppd and show
us a more verbose log.
[snip]
I also get the same message when I use setserial on cua1.
Maybe the error message from the /var/log/messages
file has nothing to do with me losing the connection
and terminating the Linux session.
But if it did, I guess I need to update something here.
What? From where? How? are my questions.
Change (wherever the setting is) the device of the modem you
are using from /dev/cua1 to /dev/ttyS1 - /dev/cua1 is now
obsolete. If you tell us which method (linuxconf? pppd directly?)
you are using to connect, someone can give you more info on this.

I understand your frustration. The Compaq comes with a weird
Windows which will not work on another computer. If I am not
mistaken, the installation of windows is not done in the "normal"
way - it's done using a "refresh" or "restore" disk which adds a
whole lot of other software as well as the drivers for keyboard,
modem ect - usually a huge install (takes FOREVER) because of all
the shit they add. I have an HP which uses the same OS
installation method. It says on the "restore" CD that it will
not work on another computer. I found out (much to my chagrin,
that a format, then install a "normal" Windows, it does not work.
If I partitioned the HD and put the "restore" version of win on
the first part and a regular version on the second (just to test
things) everything works fine. I believe there is something in
the BIOS which detects the presence of the HP version of Windows.
My roommate is the IT guy for a local company with a bunch of
Compaq's and he told me that the OS is quirky when trying to use
dual boots.
I urge you to try install RHLinux on a Presario 5834 (or some
thing similar) to
verify what I'm saying.
Its not so much a conspiracy against Linux. But this is for
their profit, I guess.

Hi
At the present time I'm using win95 system. I plan to upgrade to win98 next
week and I would also like to have and use a linux installtion on my system.
My question is how should I go about installing both operating systems? Are
there instructions to do this? Which version of Linux should I use?
Thanks
David
