I prefer one of two methods. #1. ncftpput (which you can install from the Skunkware distribution). #2. using standard ftp and a $HOME/.netrc script. ncftpput is the best, but I've come up against some broken ftpd's that won't allow standard directory listings, which means I had to use...

Just an extra tip... try "basename". No need for awk.

By default there shouldn't be any idle disconnect, but if you aren't the only admin of the box then someone might have configured idleout. It configures the timeout delay in /etc/default/idleout but doesn't get run by default. Check man idleout for what it recommends. But if you can find a...

Don't forget to fix /etc/hosts after modifying IP, sometimes it leaves a mess.

apeasecpc - nope, not related, happens to local or remote, plus I'm not sending any options to the printer, the -T<filtername> parameter is a local spooler option and not sent to a remote printer. Cheers.

apeasecpc - It looks like &quot;submit&quot; behaves similar to &quot;mail&quot;. You can take stdin and print a Reply-To: as well. With respect, however, I suggest never using mmdf unless you know how to stop the &quot;deliver&quot; process from hogging resources and never processing huge...

I agree with using fuser, but in relation to that code from aixmurderer, from the time the fuser was done until the time he execute the mv *, new files may have started writing to the directory and may still be open. How about... (rough pseudo code, may be errors)...

Hi Everyone, I've found the print filter subsystem in OpenServer to be quite handy to standardise some filters no matter what type and how a printer is attached. (eg. make a definition file, and load it through printer manager as a new filter, then on the command line you add -T<filtername> to...

If it's an lpd printer, and you've configured a printer in /etc/printcap directly before enabling remote printing, then you may also get some errors. (lpd doesn't start automatically on bootup until /etc/printcap exists, but then the auth db stuffs up, so make sure it's enabled first).

We had miscellaneous modem terminal problems too, we ended up blaming /etc/getty and found an old version from before our upgrade to 5.0.4, copied it to /etc/getty.old and changed the tty to use it in inittab (plus the files that make up inittab when you make the kernel that it mentions when you...

I have had something go wrong with a server with similar symptoms. However, a clue was left in syslog, it mentioned STREAMS overflowing, along with misc network errors. I got the machine to dump some stream stats etc, every 30 seconds, 10 minutes before midnight and spotted something starting...

How about setting up sendmail? (Or MMDF if you're a masochist). In most circumstances all it needs is the SMTP smarter host configured for outgoing mail. Then ;- uuencode <filename> <filename> > file.uue to uuencode it as sharper suggests. But from here you can send it straight by...

Yeah you need to carefully consider the best option for each printer type and connectivity you're adding. HP Printers with Jetdirect cards -------------------------------- 1. Add printer name to /etc/hosts 2. Use HP Printer Manager to add the printer. BSD/LPD Capable Printers...

It might be worth doing an integrity check on the user auth database. Try running these... /tcb/bin/integrity -em /etc/tcbck /tcb/bin/authck -a -v /etc/fixmog -v Then try logging in again. See man pages for descriptions on the commands.
