You are trying to run 'filename' as a program/shell. Probably NOT what you want. If you are trying to edit that file, you should say 'ssh -Y me@there 'emacs Documents/filename' To log in and run the editor THERE and have it display HERE: ssh -Y me@there emacs Documents/filename

Xforwarding is set to 'yes' but it keeps telling me 'Name or service not known'. The command I'm issueing is: ssh -Y @192.168.0.3:/home//Documents/ On Mon, Apr 30, 2012 at 2:34 PM, Matt Graham wrote: > From: "Carruth, Rusty" > > First, edit your .ssh config file to allow x11 forwarding. >

First, edit your .ssh config file to allow x11 forwarding. Then, 'ssh -X me@overthere' Done. Just do NOT change 'DISPLAY' on the remote machine (which will look something like "localhost:10.0" IIRC). From: plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-boun...@lis

Bummer. You need to install smartmontools. Sourceforge is your friend there, if your package manager doesn't have it... (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/smartmontools/wiki/Download) Rusty From: plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-boun...@lists.plug.phoenix.

One quick way to tell if any partition is currently 'dead' is to do an ls of each mounted directory (e.g. if /dev/sdb2 is mounte on /mnt/foo, then ls /mnt/foo) Let us assume you have 10 partitions mounted, spread all over the various disks, but they are not all someplace handy like /mnt. So
