I have some systemd services that I set up to run as a non-root user. I can do a 'status' on the services as that user, but I can't stop or start them without being prompted for the 'root' password. Is there any way to set this up? In my .service definition files I do have the following...

We use a third party app that I'm not sure I can identify right now. We host it internally. It's written in Java and hosted on Tomcat on Windows Servers. Just a couple weeks ago, some of our users started experiencing a problem where they could log in ok, but their data wasn't being displayed...

Ok, to start, I'm not sure what Forum to put this into, but this one seems to be the least wrong. [bigsmile] I recently moved to another state, to a fairly remote rural location. I'm on 3.5 acres, so my nearest neighbor is far enough away that our WiFis don't compete. What I have found is, I...

It's supposed to be possible to put a "DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" and/or "ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" clause on a TIMESTAMP or DATETIME column when creating a table. I'm getting an error on the "ON UPDATE". Is this not possible with MS SQL Server? CREATE TABLE testTbl ( id INT, txt...

I'm sure you've heard the term "Eating Our Own Dog Food", meaning, using our own product. I just heard a variation I like MUCH better. Much better! [bigsmile]

I have a Dell XPS 8930 that I've had less than a year. In the last month or so it's been turning itself on in the wee hours of the night. Looking at the "uptime", it looks like it started at about 5am this morning. I would like this to stop! I've Googled and found several "solutions", but none...

I'm listening to my company's first quarter 2020 kick off meeting, and heard something new. Apparently the purpose of the meeting is to get "all of the wood behind the arrow". Uh, ok.

I have something weird that's recently surfaced. I have some CentOS and RHEL servers that all of a sudden, before login, I'm seeing a weird character at the beginning of each line displayed. It's just in front of the pre-login "issue" stuff and he login prompt. As soon as I log in, everything is...

Ok, I'm mostly comfortable with the Korn shell. Since I'm doing some stuff on Linux now I'm trying to use bash a bit more. I'm finding that the 'read' command seems broken. This test script in Korn shell works great... #!/bin/ksh echo $SSH_CONNECTION | read FROM_IP FROM_PORT TO_IP TO_PORT...

Does anyone have any experience with the browser called Brave? I just came across it, and it sounds good, but I was wondering if anyone had any real world experience. Any cautions or caveats. https://brave.com/

Does anyone have suggestions on the best way to learn Photoshop? I know it can do a lot more, but I'm a photographer and would be only using it for manipulating photographs. I'd like to learn layers and all the wonderful things that gives you. I'd like to be able to fix exposure issues and make...

I have an app running on an HP DL580 that's having some performance problems. It's apparently due to the machine having 4 NUMA nodes and being badly impacted by cross node memory access. Does anyone know of a way to tell how badly it's being impacted by the NUMA conflicts? Any kind of monitoring...

I have a question about string manipulation in SQL Server. I have more of an Oracle background and can do this in SQL*Plus, but I'm having trouble coming up with a working SQL Server version. The situation is, I have an application that sits on MS SQL Server. It uses LDAP to authenticate users...

You are going to run exactly two laps of a track. You can run the first lap at any speed you want as long as it's a constant speed. How fast do you need to run the second lap for your total average speed to be twice the speed of the first lap? Apologies if I didn't describe it clearly. I'll...

Do you have any programming puzzles that you "assign" yourself? I have a couple puzzles that I have given myself over the years. I thought I'd share them and hopefully see what others may have done as self assigned programming exercises. One I've used for a very long time, and have done in at...

Wow, went to add to one of the most popular threads and found it dies on the vine (thread1256-1759681). Anyway, I got this for my Jeep. 4X4+MUD

Found a very interesting thread from early 1992 where Andy Tanenbaum bashes LINUX and promotes MINIX as the better OS. The very same day, Linus Benedict Torvalds speaks up in defense of LINUX. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/comp.os.minix/wlhw16QWltI%5B1-25%5D

Hi, I'm an Oracle guy that's now supporting some SQL Server databases (without proper training [bigsmile]). It there a table that tracks queries that have been submitted to the database? Some of the databases are being hit with queries that are impacting performance of the app that needs it. I...
