Thanks. I didn't know about response.flush. I will look further. I also take your comment on the JavaScript. I expect that majority of users would have it enabled, but since by default I have it off, I may have focused on my case too much.

Hi, Problem: I have an ASP page that executes a SELECT query then displays all records in a table. The pages takes a few seconds to load, with no indication that work is being done. I am looking at optimizing the database query, please don't suggest that. I am already on it. Additionally, I...

The KVM switch should connect directly to the server as the console. There should not be any need to set DISPLAY variables. Is there any more information you can provide

Since they all run SSH, you can use plink.exe (See PuTTy) to automate running a single script against each one. Your real problem is responding to the interactive prompts to change the password. I recommend you look at Expect, which was designed for this sort of problem. Google should help...

The /etc/profile is read first for all users, then the individual .profile for the user logged in. This is for bourne and korn shells.

It is a Veritas Volume Manager volume. Shouldn't it still work though?

Thanks for the feedback. I will open the SunSolve account as suggested.

I am attempting to develop a structured approach to dealing with a file system at 100% (or near a threshold). I know that proper monitoring should prevent that but bear with me. I am thinking about 2 situations 1. A file system may have shot up very quickly. In this case I would run a find...

Thanks all for your suggestions. I plan to do the following: 1. Implement an alias for rm -r on all servers to rm -ir 2. Attempt to prepare guidelines for server housekeeping, and script as much of it as possible 3. Evaluate what Solaris offers that will allow users to work more as their user...

A recent incident at my workplace resulted in a live database being deleted in the middle of the day using rm -r What measures can I implement to prevent this incident ever recurring?

On Linux, I can issue the command grep -v -f <filename> to ignore many values from the grep output. I keep getting an error on Solaris. Can anyone say how it can be done.
