thanks to both of you....i tried to give stars but the stars didnt work (?) both methods work, being lazy, i went with johnwm's shorter appraoch, but both are appreciated. daveleo

hello i am trying to write the text "<BR>" into a rich text box control when a command button named [cmdLB] is clicked. i intend to mouseclick within the text already in the text box, then click the [cmdLB] button and write "<BR>" at the cursor location. i am stumbling around my books here and...

thanks Chacalinc.....that did it. specifically it was fuser -k /dev/dsk/cxtxd0 that worked for me. much appreciated. daveleo

hello i tried my first use of the CDROM in my HPC3000(HPUX11.0). i put in a disk, successfully mounted it, looked at the files then reached over and pushed the "exit" button on the drive. nothing happened and i decided it was because i did not first unmount the drive. now, when i try to unmount...

hi there i have an old HP 715/100 through a KVM switch to the same monitor with 2 PC's.....the KVM is a Belkin Omni-View SE 4-port. *Don't * by this switch.....it went wild upon switching between the PC's....to the point that i re-attached mouses (mice) to each PC and only use the KVM for the...

hi there i am very new to working with HP11 and mozilla, but i did install mozilla and it runs fine..... before you install mozilla, you have to install the GTK windowing toolkit and a Java plugin.... this website helps.... www.hp.com/cgi-bin/products1/unix/java/mozilla hope this is some...

as gilda radner used to say on SNL .... "nevermind" i correctly edited the /etc/hosts file for additional aliases for this computer, and email now works..... every step is a challenge..... daveleo

hi there i am using HPUX 11.0 and trying to set up the mailer utility to send mail over the internet. i loaded mozilla and have that set up for email and it works fine, but i dont like it and prefer mailer. i go through a router to the internet....i can ping internet websites and of course view...

thanks enormously. your comments sent me reading up on various ways of executing scripts, what subshells mean, shell variables, etc i made (almost) all the changes suggested then typed in . ./davestest.sh (the space between dots is important!!) and it ran fine and worked as planned. i am...

apologies for this simple question....i have several books here that say this should work, and it doesnt.... i have HP-UX11.0 and my default shell is /sbin/sh i tried to write a long script and run it and it didnt work, so i backed up and started with this simple script and it doesnt work...

to close out this topic..... i did learn enough about configurable kernel parameters to go ahead and make the changes, and yes, i had to recompile the kernel, but in SAM it was a one-click operation (though i did sweat a lot watching it reboot). so it was one of those 4-hours-and-ten-minute...

hi I own and operate an HP-ux11.0 machine, but am not a unix systems wiz, and don't have direct access to an expert..... and I have a problem running a new piece of software that is correctly installed on this machine. The error message when trying to run the program was: "Pid 4627 receieved a...

thanks malvin i will add that to my bag of tricks. i have a new machine arriving today....cant imagine how much trouble i'll be in by midnight! daveleo

thanks for the idea of using SAM logs. however the unit would not boot up to the CDE and was giving me a fraction of a second for the console login prompt before it cycled trying to restart the CDE again..... so getting SAM up at that point was (i think) not possible. i even tried going in...

thanks for the replies. i did finally hack my way to to the CDE and got it networked and to the internet.....though not quite sure exactly how i crashed it. daveleo
