Thanks for any help, I think I am thinking myself into a corner... In my database I have (among others) 2 tables. One is a list of people who owe money (debtors) and the other is a list of individual debts. A debtor can have one or more debts. Debts are assigned a 3 digit status code. What I...

I have 2 queries which perform aggregates (sum) on the same column, depending on the value of a different column in the same table - similar to this: SELECT SUM(TotalCount) WHERE PaperSize = "Letter" SELECT SUM(TotalCount) WHERE PaperSize <> "Letter" The actual queries are slightly more...

I am in the planning stages of writing an application that will make a small modification to a Postscript file & then send it to a printer. I can't find any information on LPR in any of the VB help or in the MS KB. It's easy from the command line: lpr -S <server> -P <port/printer> <filename>...

I am trying to come up with a script that can be run periodically (via cron?) that would grep ps -A for Xvnc, and if it is not found, start vncserver. Any help would be appreciated. jafrank

I am doing some work on an old DOS app which runs acceptably well in a Win2k console window. Unfortunately, it is hard coded to print it's reports to a dot matrix printer on LPT1. The ouput from this app has to be entered into another program, and currently someone has to retype the data from...

I am writing a VB app that opens a text file, manipulates the contents a little, and writes out to a new text file. I can make it work perfectly using manual controls, but what I would like to do is have it 'watch' a folder and have it do the conversion on any file that appears in the folder...

I am trying to find a simple way for a user to transfer some Postscript files from their OS 9.2 Mac to a Win2K Pro workstation. Unfortunately, I'm mostly a PC guy, and I suspect I may be making it too hard. The Pro version of Win2k doesn't have services for Mac - and there is no budget for...

Is there a way to tell which cpu an Ultra 60 is running without opening the case? Even better if it can be done without rebooting.... Thanks! Allen

Is there a way to capture, say, 60 seconds or so of ps output? Our system uses a customized user interface which has a button to save accounting info to a file. What I am trying to do is figure out what program it calls, so that I can set up a cron entry which runs the process on a regular...

Ok, I know I should know how to do this, but apparently there's a dead brain cell right there.... I need to run a program from the command line as su - can someone help me with the syntax? Thanks! Allen

Is there a way to use the command history in csh in the same way that you can in bash, or even DOS (Doskey)? I love the way you can use your arrow keys to scroll through the command history with the arrow keys and edit recent commands right on the command line. I have read the man pages on...

Hello, I am trying to use a cron entry to clean old files out of an archive directory. I have set it up using the following command: 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * find /var/spool/archive -name &quot;?f*&quot; -mtime +1 -exec rm -f {} \; Every 5 minutes, it checks...

I have searched the forums and see that this subject has come up before, but the suggested remedy did not have any effect for me. I am running Outlook 2000 on Win98Se, accessing an Exchange 5.5 server. Every time I add or change a calendar event, after about 5 minutes I get a dialog with the...

Is there a way in WIN2K to capture a network printer and map it to a local port like you can do in Win98? We have a legacy application which needs to print to lpt1, and we would like to send it to a network printer... Thanks JAF

Has anyone done this? I have an opportunity to pick up a very slightly used 21&quot; Sun monitor - I don't have the model number right here in front of me - for a very good price. I know I can get a vga to Sun adapter for the cable, but I am wondering if I have to do anything special to make...

I am planning to install an Ultra 10 in another city as a print server/controller for a production print device. All print work will come from a host in my city, and will be sent via LPR as a Postscript file. We would like to find a way to lock this machine down to the point that it will only...
