the other way to do it would be to have a counter increase from 0 to 255 (or whatever the range you define) and unpack/pack each into an ascii character. -Original Message- From: Mark Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 11:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:

RE: Winnt: How to set the time on a remote machine

2001-02-13 Thread Steven Manross
To my recollection, I do not believe that Time functions are remotely available. However.. The NT Resource Kit has a utility called timesrv.exe (I do not know of any W9X solutions). This is an NT Service that syncs up via a "Master" Time Server (A server you specify to run as Master) or an NTP

I haven't tried it yet but, reading through it, I thought it was sort of tied to the site. Does it give you control of the messages that it sends (I don't think I'd want it to look like spam)? But, either way, I'll definitely be testing it out soon. -Thanks -Original Message- From: Mar

Winnt: How to set the time on a remote machine

I would like to control the time on a couple of NT machines from one central NT machine. How would I do this ? The NET command allows me to set the time on the local machine but not on a remote machine. Is there a Perl modul that can do this ? Thanks Ralf __

I've had some problems with -f (and -e for that matter) in the past. It seems random but I'm sure there's some reason for it. Just haven't figured it out yet. In the meantime, I usually just do a conditional check (-f "the file" OR -e "the file") and then look into any dir/file security that mi

Hi Will, There was no semi-colon at the end of the line - but I don't think one is required there. However, I did notice that there was one white space occurring before 'PATH'. Could that be it ? Are you telling me that the 'PATH' specification should be sufficient and that I should not need the '

This seems more OSish than Perlish, but there is certainly a tie to perl... Back in a younger day, when DOS v3.3 ruled, we all found that appending to PATH was dicey since whether it worked depended on whether the last guy to do so put a terminating ";" in place. Otherwise, silent failures. It wa

I believe that one of the problems with using Oracle on NT is that the ORA_HOME is in the registry. Whereas in UNIX you can set it in the Perl script with: # Location of the tnsnames.ora file you want to use $ENV{'TNS_ADMIN'} = "/home/oracle/admin/sqlnet/tnsname.dir"; # ORACLE_HOME $ENV{'ORACL
