[luau] Testimonial Solicitation
We would like to make our www.hosef.org site a better portal for those interested in Linux but having no idea where to start. This will include links to articles, our own essays and experiences, and the testimonials of those who we have helped. It occurs to me that one way to humanize the open source experience for those interested but uncertain would be to have testimonies from the list. I believe that there are many of you using OS software in many ways that would be very compelling to someone still trying to figure it out. I know, for instance, that yuser does a simple but wise trick of printing receipts, etc. to a pdf converter that stores them on a samba share. A lot of you are using OS app's in your business. It would be great if you had the time to write about how/why you use OS software and what it does for you. I imagine that many of us on the list would be interested if you just want to reply to LUAU, but if modesty overwhelms you, send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I really hope that of the several hundred of you on the list that at least a few will have the time to write something. It would be awfully helpful to someone still trying to figure out why they should do this. scott
[luau] server question
Hello, I've got an embedded device on which I need to run a small server program. It basically provides a client with access to some custom hardware. What I've been doing is telnetting in to the device, then starting the server. What I'd like to do is integrate the server more tightly with the system, and have it come up with the system. Would this be a candidate for daemon process? Or would it be better to just add a startup entry in the rc.local file? Thanks, -Charles

Out of curiosity, what architecture and manufacturer are you using for the embedded device? Would this be a candidate for daemon process? Or would it be better to just add a startup entry in the rc.local file? I am not sure what you mean by a daemon vs. rc.local. Adding something to rc.local is a quick hack, but you might want to add a script to /etc/init.d and offering start/stop services so things run more cleanly. -Vince

Is there a pointer or reference or example on how to do a start/stop services script like this? Aloha, Rob __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Here is a template. If you want something more detailed, you can
read through the startup scripts on your favorite distribution.
#! /bin/sh
# $Id$
case $1 in
start)
# start
;;
stop)
# stop
;;
*)
# usage
echo Usage: `basename $0` { start | stop }
echo

RE: [luau] Testimonial Solicitation
Have the main menu follow throughout the site instead of jumping back and forth from the home page to a link and back to the homepage for another link. The way it is set up now has too much redundancy. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

I doubt it, they may only have rc.local? If you have /etc/init.d, use it, otherwise it doesn't hurt to use rc.local. Warren
