Hi there! We are currently a Tivoli Storage Manager (aka Spectrum Protect) shop. We'll be evaluating EMC Networker for a very specific use case (protecting long-term data on an Isilon cluster). As part of the POC, I plan to test Networker's efficacy as a traditional backup product...

OK...I created a database with the Launch option of 'Open Designated Frameset'. The left pane is a menu, the right frame contains the content. No problem there. When accessed from your Lotus Notes Workspace, everything works great. You can open up any form you wish, submit it, and then get...

Korn Shell. How the heck do you echo out a trailing space? rmt="/dev/rmt1" output=$(echo $rmt" ") That's not working. It's gotta be something simple, I just can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Rick! I'll look into that. Thanks!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Christiaan!

Thanks for the speedy reply, earthandfire! I've heard of this....Reflection...but haven't taken a good, hard lok at it. :) Again, thanks!

Here's a noob question for you. Lets say I have written an email class that is used by hundreds of programs. It's easy enough to add a reference to this class in each program, but what happens if I change the email class 6 months down the road? Do I have to recompile EVERY program that...

Good afternoon! I'm interested in writing a program that can kick off a batch scripts, monitor their progress, and receive return codes from them when they complete. Kindly point me in the right direction. Thanks! - Mikeymac
