I cannot use many stop scripts any more (e. g. apache) because they couldn't find the kill command anymore. The reason is, that root is running the shell ash on my system (cause I had some big problems with bash). ash seems to have no buildin kill command and didn't find a kill command. I used th

The Linux and DOS partitioning programs don't work for the "other side." At least it didn't work for me. If you want to install DOS use fdisk from DOS. If you want to install Debian use cfdisk or fdisk from the Debian installation CD. In other words it sounds like you have already partitioned th

Sorry... I automatically made a link between binary data and hexadecimal data... You could shift 8 bits of the unsigned long into a unsigned char one at a time, and print that character with a %c in the printf, or use putchar() or something. eg: unsigned long l = 0x38c9616e; unsig

But isn't %[Xx] just prints out as Hexdecimal? I just tried, and it prints out something like: 38c9616e which consumes 8 bytes in a file. Given that unsigned long is 32 bits, I want to use exactly 4 byte to represent it in order to save some space. Thanks. Shao. Matthew Dalton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
