    up2date won't run

    my estimation is this where rpm is being a little overprotective of its stores... Try : # rpm -Fvh up2date-[complete-with-tab] --nodeps --force THEN # rpm -Fvm up2date-gnome[complete-with-tab] [complete-with-tab] means, of course, hit the right tab while in the directory where the file (in...

    Automate importing macro into new spreadsheet

    Thanks Mike! Ok "worksheet that contains the macro": you mean the auto open macro, right? I just ran this macro again. Three .xls files are currently open (at completion) in three windows: personal.xls = always open with excel, contains a handful of general macros; the ones that...

    Automate importing macro into new spreadsheet

    Please help with a slight problem automating a process for my user. Currently, with one click of an icon, they can open a text file ftp'd from the Mainframe, have it put into excel columns, and have it "made attractive" with text formats and colors. There is one part that I cant...

    Show warnings with mysqlimport

    thanx sleipnir214. Sorry, i got ahead of myself here. The feature &quot;SHOW WARNINGS&quot; is not currently available. It is proposed for the 4.1 release (alpha only currently) and may not even be available there (see the comment at the end of this reference manual page...

    Show warnings with mysqlimport

    Hi, Using mysqlimport (from the shell command line) is more convenient at times than running LOAD DATA INFILE... from within mysql. However, I don't seem to be able to view warnings that the import may produce. If it was run from within mysql, then the command SHOW WARNINGS; immediately after...

    Command line parms to init services

    Please help with somewhat of a newbie question: I want to change the way a service starts on boot: to run with a particular command line parm. Is this the normal procedure (speaking generally)??: (emacs or vi) /etc/init.d/<yourservice>d ----> look for the execute line in the script ----> add...

    Non-text multi-user switching

    thanx venkman the script works fine! had a gui running on :0 so it found :1 open and started a new kde session there. AND although it's perl it looks easily portable into my existing bash &quot;startx interface&quot; script. (of course, maybe it's time to stop putting off learning perl...)

    Non-text multi-user switching

    venkman, would appreciate that script very much. I had tried it myself with: echo Listing possible handles for an existing session who -w if [ -f /var/run/console.lock ] ; then cat /var/run/console.lock fi wmg: I'm not hijacking your post - you simply started a good discussion :-)

    Non-text multi-user switching

    Red Hat starts tty1-6 as text terminals by default. tty7-12 are therefore reserved/available for gui (&quot;X&quot;) sessions. they of course correspond to cntl-alt-F7 thru F12. In the startx command the &quot;--&quot; separates the client part of the request from the server part. &quot;:n&quot...

    Runtime Java and installation of OpenOffice

    actually probably not a problem with ms compatibility... I first got this message installing staroffice a year ago (whatever the last free version was) on a red hat system. Recently I downloaded the newest Open Office version (1.02?) and did a upgraded what I had on RH 8.0. Got the same message...
