There is already an EPEL package named tlock, but it's something different- a terminal lock program. Just a data point. On 07/15/2016 10:45 AM, Pat Riehecky wrote: Neat! Any chance you can get it into EPEL? Pat On 07/15/2016 10:41 AM, Devin A. Bougie wrote: Cornell's Laboratory for Acceler

I long ago quit trusting the OS to bring devices up in any given order. No matter what I did, eventually a new kernel found a way around it. I forcibly associate MAC addresses with device names. It's the only road to sanity.

Since it tells you why it failed, you should discuss this with your email admin. At the same time, those are some stupidly large email headers. Someone at FNAL should look into that. Thanks, Microsoft. On 09/30/2016 11:22 AM, Pat Riehecky wrote: On 09/30/2016 09:28 AM, FRANCHISSEUR Robert LMD

Wow. Connie, you are a national treasure as far as I am concerned. Thank you for all the incredible work you put in over the years; SL and the support from your team were a lifesaver in a previous job, and still very helpful. Blessings on you and all you do! -Miles

The reality is, if you don't involve someone from IT, you have a very high likelihood of causing problems for both yourself and others. IT can't necessarily do all the work here, but they should definitely be involved in the discussion. If nothing else, they should be helping decide which route

I have an ancient HP SCSI scanner (from 1996 or so). If 300DPI hardware scan is sufficient, it's excellent. A bit slow, but great scans. The foam under the lid recently disintegrated; I need to decide whether to refurb or get something that does 600DPI (which I occasionally need). Nothing fanc
