I have mysql running on FC3. In the mysql/var directory, I see there are a bunch of host.bin.0000x (where x is a number like, 1,2,3, etc) files. They look like old data in the db. If I do a drop database in mysql, does the data in that db automatically deleted? Also, if I know those...

Hi, I have a .src.rpm file and did a rpm -ivh to it. It creates a spec file as well as other tar file. If I run rpm -ivh again on the created binary, the resulted files are put into the default location in /etc. Is there a way to change /etc to somewhere else? I know I need to edit the spec...

linney and outonalimb, thank you so much for the info!! I finally got the 2 computers share. What I did was instead of just having tcp/ip in local area connection, I put in NWLink NetBios and NWLink IPX/SPx NetBIOS compatible transport Protocol. Also, I unchecked the Win ICF on my laptop and...

Both machines' windows ICF are unchecked. For a moment, I was able to ping my desktop from my laptop and saw my desktop in network places on my laptop, but not vice versa. After a reboot of both machines, they couldn't ping each other anymore. linney: if i start my desktop in safe mode with...

I just ran the same script I posted (with a few syntax fixes) and it displayed fine on my machine. Can you run the following code in the directory that has all the .doc file. Also, make sure your dir path is good. <? $dir = "."; if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { while (($file = readdir($dh)) !=...

looks good, just remember to put quotes around like "From: smile@smile.com

I have PC-cillan on both machines, but I exit out of it when I do the ping. Unless something is running in the background that I am not aware of. Quitting the appl should take care of the software firewall issues. I am using xp pro with sp1 only (installed sp2 before, but uninstalled it coz...

use the mail call.. the syntax is like mail(receipient_email, subject, body message, mail headers) The mail header is optional. You can specific the sender email address there like "From: smile@smile.com

Try this, if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { while (($file = readdir($dh)) != false) { if ( (is_file($dir."/".$file) && (strcmp(".", $file)) && (strcmp("..", $file)) ) { print "file = $dir/$file\n"; } } close($dh); } This prints all files...

You can use fopen to get a file handle, and then use fwrite to write your result to a file. Check out the php website for the syntax

how about $ans_quantity =~ /^\d{1,3}$/ this matches 1 to 3 digit

I have a tree structure that represents the network topology and would like to display this tree on a browser. One thing that came to my mind is XML. I can expand and collapse the topology in a browser. Is this a good way to go? If it is, what cpan module is available for going from Tree...

I agree with Dian. Java provide you the mechanism to avoid deadlock and ensure mutual exclusion. It is up to the programmer to utilize it. You are talking more of a design problem rather than an implementation problem
