How? RDBM, perl, bash, c-shell, c, Java.... Precise your query; greater chance of response...

Thanks, I figured as much. But how do I determine what the kernel resource is? Specifically, I want to use cdrecord. cdrecord fails unless I do a 'modprobe ide_cd' prior to using it. Just running cdrecord does not automatically load the ide_cd driver, as one might expect. So, how do I...

Hi, How do I specify a certain module to load at boot time? I have a RedHat 9 server and need the ide_cd module to load so I can use the CD-RW device. Manually typing 'modprobe ide_cd' loads it perfectly, but I want the module to load automatically when the machine boots. Any pointers...

When you restart the sshd server you just restart the listening service. Each scp session spawns a new sshd process. The 'stalled' process is unaffected by the restart. Do a 'ps ax' or 'pstree -hupla' to list the running processes. 'top' will also show if you have a cpu-hog, or I/O-wait issue...

your best bet is to try RH9 which presumably has more drivers available; and one that might match your scsi-card...

tar -tvf /dev/rmt0 ?

Thanks, problem solved. Apparently enclosing the variable with double-quotes solves my problem. Thanks, ~Mike

Folks, I have an issue with disappearing newlines, when performing commands in bash scripts or at prompt. Basically, when a command is executed and returns several lines, each line ends with a <new line> character. But, when the same command is executed and the results are placed in an...

If the machine complains about hiddev and hub modules are missing, maybe they aren't installed? If I remeber correctly, hiddev has to do with Human Interface Device, i.e. drivers for USB devices such as keyboard, mouse, and possibly emory stick. Do a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' to see what...

mrn, Annihilannic - thanks for your tips! ~Mike

Run dmesg to see if the device is detected. And if so, which device it uses.

Try running kudzu or mouse-config to re-detect the mouse. I might update your settings and drivers.

Strangely enough I do remember experiencing the same problem. But it was several years back, and if I remember correctly it was due to a problem with the terminal emulation on the console. Logging in via a telnet/ssh worked ok, but sitting directly on the console had problems as you describe. I...

Are you sitting on the console or logging in via telnet/ssh?

This is very interesting - we all seem to have similiar views and experience. So the next thing that comes to mind; is there any way we together can benefit from each others experience, apart from 'been there, done that too'? If nothing else, I'm sure a 'coaching forum' or 'mentorship forum'...
