Whenever I do a commit cycle in svn, I examine the diff when writing my comments. I thought it would be really nice to show the actual function that I made the modifications in when showing the diff. I checked out this page, which mentioned that the -p option will show the C function that the change is in. When I tried using the -p ...
I use Emacs for shell scripts. I know I read somewhere there's some mode to make it easier (code completion, autocomplete, bracket matching, syntax highligting, check syntax) to write Shell scripts on Emacs but haven't been able to find it. In short, I would like to turn Emacs into a Bash IDE. Also, is there any other tool/IDE to make s...

I read that it's supposedly possible to change the I/O scheduler for a particular device on a running kernel by writing to /sys/block/[disk]/queue/scheduler. For example I can see on my system: anon@anon:~$ cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler noop anticipatory deadline [cfq] that the default is the completely fair queuing scheduler. ...

I'm on a Linux system where I am not allowed to use the 'ping' application (ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted).

Primarily I have a "debug event" thread which simply loops waiting for waitpid to return and delivers the received events to...
Programming isn't my main job, though I enjoy it and sometimes get paid for it. For many years now I've been hearing about Linux and my friends have shown to me many *nixes (or *nici?), though I stick with Mac OS. Do you think there are any parts of the Linux kernel that I could enjoy looking at, that would help me understand what's the...
