    track down source of interference? package method works in one, not in another?

    Unfortunately, in a situation where I cannot post the full code. So, I have to stick to sanitized examples and philosophy. Windows 32bit perl running on Windows 2008 R2 (64bit). Nearly everything works, except.... #!perl use strict; use Win32::Lanman; use Data::Dumper; my $arrayRef = []...

    use a system lib with Perl?

    I need to get the 'raw' context associated with a given selinuxsecuritycontext for a file or pid. You don't need to know what that means except that the only way I can find to get that info is via the system lib 'context_range_get'. See "http://linux.die.net/man/3/context_range_get". How do...

    determine selinux boolean states?

    I need to query the state(s) of the selinux booleans on a system. The 'getsebool' command appears to do the trick. However, on all the machines I have access to, I can't find an example of a 'pending' status, which appears to be a valid state. I have plenty of examples of 'active/inactive'...

    How to wrap RPM output in XML?

    man rpm says that I can use the --queryformat with the :xml arg to wrap the output of rpm in XML. I cannot find an example of the syntax. Getting formats is pretty straight forward: >rpm -qa -qf "%{NAME}\n" But, how do I use the 'qf' functionality to tell it to wrap the output in XML, as it...

    default protocol for a service running via xinetd

    Hello All, I'm trying to write a little code that determines the protocol being used by a given service that is running via xinetd. I first look in the /etc/xinetd.d/-serviceName- files for an explicitly configured protocol. If not found, I check the main xinetd.conf file. Frequently, there...

    Determine if installed Mac OS is Server or Workstation flavor...

    How can I tell if an installed Mac OS is a 'workstation' or 'server' flavor. We have a few Mac Minis that could be either. From what I can tell, the server version of the OS is identical to the workstation version with a few server admin tools and things like web servers added in. And...

    script strategy to list disks and partitions

    Hello All, Tried the search for this to no avail. I am writing a Perl application that must report disks and partitions on Solaris 8, 9, and 10. I am familiar with the 'format' command and it provides all the info I need. However, it expects someone to interact with it to move through the...
