Damn. That sounds like a right pain. I wonder if it is oversight or by design... I'm not sure why I would want to shut the machine down without installing the updates most of the time, so surprised the default seems to be the other way around Oh well...

When a W7 machine has pending updates, I can install them by choosing the "install updates and shut down" from the desktop However, if I call "shutdown /t 0" from the command line of the same machine, the updates are not installed - the machine justs shuts down Is there a way to shutdown and...

Hi, I'm new to postgresql. I'm trying to get a function that will loops through a cursor, and update every row. I have tried various permutations of the below, but am getting syntax errors. Can anyone suggest what is wrong with the given example? DECLARE curs1 CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM...

Hello, I'm trying to get my head around MySQL GIS functionality. Can anyone tell me why the below query, lifted from a mysql example page, returns NULL whenever it is run? I am trying to use something similar to query a table based on distance from a point. SELECT ROUND(GLength(...

Ah... Well, the my initial attempt using PEAR didn't work, and neither did my first attempt at using native php support. But passing the parameters in using an array worked fine: [/code] <?php $client = new SoapClient("http://realtime.nationalrail.co.uk/ldbws/wsdl.aspx"); $arr =...

No - I was using the PEAR soap library for php since it works in older versions of php. As it turns out I am running php 5, so I tried it using the native soap client support, but unfortunately got exactly the same error returned :-( <?php $client = new...

Hello - I wonder if someone can give a bit of adice. I came across the API to the UK live train departure boards recently - although I understand it has been around for a while. The interface is described here: http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ldbws/ As my first attempt at retreiving some...

Hello, Yes - the machine is one of a number of old bits of kit that essentially do the same job, but to balance the load across them they need to exchange status messages with one another. This could be done by broadcast, but the original reason behind using multicast addresses seems to have...

OK: The interface to which the machine i want to monitor is connected, and which is generating the multicast paskets, has the following interface config: interface FastEthernet1/0/16 no switchport ip address 1.2.3.254 255.255.255.0 ip access-group location1 in ip multicast helper-map...

Nope...it seems that didnt't work. It looks like it only works with broadcast packets. I did then try ip-multicast-helper to convert all multicasp packets arriving at the cisco interface to broadcast, which would then be sent to the monitoring interfacw, but either I got the commands wrong, or...

Ok - that looks hopeful. The only problem is it looks like helper-address will only forward trafitional broadcast traffic - whiel that is effectively what our data is, it uses a multicast IP address and an unusual port. I see that I can specify a port to be forewarded, but it's not clear if...

Hi, The multicast traffic was, I believe, set up in the mists of time as a way of having multiple machines effectively broadcasting on different addresses on the same subnet without conflict. The machine being monitored (or not) accepts commands on its unicast address, and I have set up a...

Hello We have a Cisco 3750 A machine on one interface generates udp packets addressed to a multicast IP and specified port, containing various status information in their payloads. I want to forward all these multicast packets to another interface on the same switch, so they can be monitored...

We have a netscreen-50 On eth4 is a subnet containing various devices that use multicast to communicate. We have a set of policies set up that allow certain machines on the subnet connected to eth1 to see the network on eth4, and used MIPs so that the source address from those machines on...

Its fixed :-) I added: Dim cwd = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() Dim configFile As String = "config.xml" Dim filePath As String = cwd + "\" + configFile To my code, rather than just relying on the fact that the config file was in the same directory as the executable. At...
