[SLUG] Cron Not Running Scripts
Hi Sluggers: For some reason if I have cron setup like this the script does not do anything: hh mm * * * /usr/bin/perl /path_to_script/scriptname.pl /dev/null 21 When I remove the /dev/null 21 cron finally executes what I want the script to do. Any clues ?? Cheers. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Removing Toolbars etc.. from browser window
Hi Sluggers:
Objective:
When someone clicks on a link, I want a new browser window to open with no
toolbars, menubar. I want scrollbars. I know Javascript has window.open()
to achieve what I want. However the new window opens up from a a tag
from a script. I tried window.open() in the a tag but it did not work. I
have also tried this in the .html file I want to open up in the new
resized browser window with no menu and toolbars.
I have this sample Javascript in the head tag
script
function resizeWindow(width,height){
if (document.layers) {
// resizeTo sets inner size, so use this instead
window.outerWidth = width;
window.outerHeight = height;
} else window.resizeTo(width,height);
}
/script
Now in my body tag I have added this
body onload=resizeWindow(300,300);
This of course just resizes the window. But it still leaves the toolbars
and menu bars. Any ideas on how I can extend the above script with a
window.open() or something similar would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

RE: [SLUG] Anyone used Perl's Filter package !!
Hi Angus: My replies under [Louis]. -Original Message- From: Angus Lees [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 28 October 2003 20:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SLUG] Anyone used Perl's Filter package !! At Mon, 27 Oct 2003 13:17:11 +1100 (EST), education wrote: I download the package Filter-1.26 from CPAN. I'm having problems understanding how to use this package to get Perl code to go through the filter before compilation. Also does this method clearly prevents anyone from seeing the source code of a Perl script ? Unless it uses some form of encryption, then all you've done is obscured the code - anyone who can use the same filter can read the source code. See Embperl for an example of a module which *does* do encrypted source code - you compile a private key into the embperl module and then use it to encrypt source code files (see crypto/README in Embperl source). [Louis] This is not installed on my server. I will get it installed to play with. However I have just read about it from CPAN from the reference you gave. I have some questions about this. Here goes: Q1. This may sound basic. I suppose if I encrypt the file, then if I run it on another server, does it just needs EmbPerl (same version or any version) installed ? I read from the README that the epcrypto_config.h file needs to be edited to enable encryption and choose the algorithm to use. Q2. Does the setup for this part on the other server have to be the same ? i.e for the other server to decrypt the binary and run the perl script the header file has to be edited and recompiled to use the exact algorithm ? Can't EmbPerl detect what algorithm to use when decrypting ? Q3. When encrypting the file from the epcrypto program, can I name the destination filename as a .pl script ? Q4. As this is a Perl script I am trying to encrypt, does the path to perl have to be in the source before encryption ? Will the script work if I add the path to perl manually in the destination filename ? Q5. Finally I suppose all I distribute is the destination encrypted files, and DO NOT give out the source files from the crypto directory ? Once I get it installed I will play with it a little bit. If I need more help I'll post again. Cheers. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] linux help for educator
quote who=Alper Ciftci Hi, I am a Maths/Physics teacher at Sule College and I want to install Linux on my laptop. I got about 80 GB free disk space. My purpose is to run mathematical scientific software free. Of course office programs as well, but teaching software is my preference. I used redhat at uni about 5 years ago. But I do not know how to install. Currently XP is loaded and I want to keep it. At school we have cable modem, and at home I use iprimus dial up. I have a few questions: 1.Which distribution will be the best for me 2.If I select any of the distributions can I install any linux application from the net? Or is there any restriction that an application will only work on redhat and not slackware etc. 3.Can I install multiple versions at the same time to test and evaluate which version is best for me? 4.If possible can I meet with anyone to do the installation process together? I have fast internet and a burner. Can download anything. Hi Alper, Is computer support at Sule College provided by the same person that looks after the IT infrastructure at the Sule College primary school at Auburn? The computers supplied to that school by Computerbank are running Debian and the IT support person was familiarising himself with this distribution. This may be of interest in your choice. cheers, Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Hi Roger,
Do you have a phone on the same line?
I was suffering a similar problem with my dialup account (it was
disconnecting after about 20 min all the time). I discovered that
apparently some older touch-tone telephones can cause enough
interference on the line to cause a disconection. After I removed my
telephone from the double adapter I was using to split the phone line I
had no problems.
This was actually very well known back in the days Before The Internet
[I.E. BBS days}.
The original series of Telstra's Touchphone 200 recharged its internal
memory battery from the phone line by - you guessed it - pulling a certain
voltage from the line at an interval of every 20 minutes - regardless of
the fact that the line was in use or not.
This wasn't generally a problem for voice calls - but for data calls, it
meant disconnection every time.
The solution was to unplug the T200 while making a data call.
Later versions have {the ones with the raised buttons as opposed to the
flat membrane type buttons}, supposedly, had the problem corrected.

[SLUG] ftpd rpm u/g from source build: do I need 'ftpaccess' ?
I have RH7.3, at the suggestion of this list, I installed ProFTPd instead of default WuFTPd that came with RH73 however, when I 1st got the ProFTPD, I totally forgot (being a newbie) that I was 'supposed to' use RPMs. Instead, I downloaded the source, compiled, started using (no credit to me, credit to supplied docs) that worked good. now, however, I came across the updated ProFTPd packaged as an RPM. when I tried to install the ProFTPD RPM, rpm complained about numerous conficlts with WuFTPD files I then RPM erased WuFTPD, then, rpm installed ProFTPD this time, install succeeded. so, now I have rpm-installed ProFTPd, and, it works: Question: when 'rmp=erasing' Wu-FTPD, rpm created: -rw---1 root root 1948 Aug 9 07:28 ftpaccess.rpmsave -rw---1 root root 79 Jul 15 10:13 ftpusers.rpmsave ftpusers got recreated: -rw-r--r--1 root root 191 Nov 3 11:38 ftpusers BUT, I no longer have 'ftpaccess' do I need /etc/ftpaccess with ProFTPd, should I manually recrceate it from ftpacess.rpmsave ? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
