Thanks guys. These should sort me out.

Thanks Despierto. I had this in mind as a last resort. There must be a way to populate the @StartDate var though, in the same way as a dynamic SQL string can be built and run....I was thinking along the lines of SET @StartDate = N'@EL' + @iCounter + N'A' Doesn't work, obviously, or I...

Hi all, The 'SEARCH' functionality doesn't seem to be working on the site so if my question has already been asked, apologies! I have a table that has a number of date fields names 'EL1A', 'EL2A' and so on up to EL46A. I have fetched the row back via a cursor and am now attempting to perform...

my latest: (1) 'Hi Mr Manager. I'd like to give some of the junior guys training in unix after hours. I need to use the training room.' 'We have tight budgets 'till the end of the year. What does the company gain by this?' 'Ehhh, free training, trained resources, my career progression....'...

Yes, by striping I mean partitioning using the format command. Our HP has veritas on it but, never having been involved in a server setup, I never realised it's significance until recently. I'll have a run through of the sun doco on the matter.

Right. So the reason is purely for /etc being in / is for the single user mode then? That makes sense but I never really thought of it. As the man says, it's better to be making these mistakes on a test server than coming across them o nthe real thing. Thanks, Sean

I was messing around yesterday with the format commant and assigning new partitions for a java mountpoint that I wanted to create. This seems fine where you want to create a new mountpoint but I think that a reinstall is in order, as you say, for the /var, /usr....mountpoints. Are /opt, /usr...

If I mv the /var to the 2nd disk, surely I would have to mv it to /export/home/var? Is this what you mean? I would prefer to have a 'cleaner' setup, i.e. only one var directory @ /var rather than a link to /export/home/var. Is this possible or would a rebuild be in order?

Hi, Recently I came into ownership of a solaris server with a pretty low spec. I am having trouble with the disk setup on it. There are 2 disks which I would like to 'rearrange' a bit. Firstly, a df -k produces: Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on...

Hi, When I try to 'll' the contents of two directories mounted on /dev/vg01, the system hangs. I can do a simple 'ls' and see the contents. A bdf also hangs whereas a 'df -k' provides: /mnta1 (/dev/vg01/lvabin ) : 5991751 total allocated Kb 4495679 free...

Sorry, meant 11 but typed 10. Thanks for the explaination. Makes sense when someone shows you how.

Hi, Can anyone tell me why the second printf returns the sizeof(record) as 4 whereas the first returns 10 as I would expect? Thanks #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> void read_input(FILE *ifile, char *record); main(){ FILE *ifile; char record[10+1]...

Hi, Does anyone have any useful shortcuts/tips/etc for HP, etc? I have found the w! to save ro files when root pretty useful, especially when editing a ro file without realising it! I seem to recall a way to vi multiple files (something like vi s* to edit all files beginning s) but can't...

I'm a helpful sort of guy!! Thanks, Sean

Hi All, Second question in 2 days...getting my money's worth. I (and more worringly, my team lead) think that its time I progressed from inserting printf's to debug code to using a proper debugging tool. From the dim & distant past, I remember using dbx but since I don't have that on my...
