I have an number of Java applications installed on an Ubuntu64 9.04 PC, and none of them can resolve domain names (there are multiple JRE's too - some of them are IBM products). If I put the domain name in the hosts file with it's associated IP address, then the Java apps work for those domains only. Every other non Java program - like p...

I'd like to experiment with Google's tcmalloc on Linux... I have a huge project here, with hundreds of qmake generated Makefile's... I'd like to find a way to get gcc to globally link against tcmalloc (like it does with libc)... Is this possible? Or will I have to edit every Makefile? (I'd prefer not to edit all the pro files as there a...

This script will require an .htaccess file but I've learned some htaccess files are not very portable. The htaccess needs to do a simple redirect, like so: http://example.com/dir/string R...

Hi, I need to port a screen capture utility to Linux. I'm not familiar with Linux. On Windows, you can get the handle of a specific window or desktop and using BitBlt in Win32 API, you can copy the image and save it to a BMP file or even convert it to Jpeg format. On Linux, as far as I know there are different desktop environments lik...
I am writing an automated build system to do nightly builds of our code. Under normal conditions every thing works fine, but some of the processes in the build can require user input, if a developer commits a change that opens up one of these the automated builds grind to a halt. Does any one know of a way of causing reads from STDIN ...

I try to call a program (ncbi blast, for those who need to know) from my code, via calling the command in a system() call. If I execute the string directly in the shell, it works as intended, but if I try the same string via system(), the program returns much faster, without the intended results. The output file is created, but the file...
At the moment our backup script explicitly runs svnadmin hotcopy on each of our repositories every night. Our repos are all stored under a parent directory (/usr/local/svn/repos) Our backup script has a line for each of the repos under that directory along the lines of: svnadmin hotcopy /usr/local/svn/repos/myrepo1 /usr/local/backup/myre...
I'm currently developing an application that happens to require some file preprocessing before actually reading the data. Doing it externally was not a possibility so I came up with a fork & execve of "cut options filename | sort | uniq -c" etc... and I execute it like that. However I thought that maybe there was already another option...
Hello all! I am having some trouble reading some data from a serial port I opened the following way. I've used this instance of code plenty of times and all worked fine, but now, for some reason that I cant figure out, I am completely unable to read anything from the serial port. I am able to write and all is correctly received on the...

RPM supports an Epoch header to provide version ordering in cases where its version comparison isn't sufficient, for example with 2.0a3 > 2.0. A package without Epoch specified is considered to have an Epoch of either 0 or -1, depending on some obscure factors. The documentation suggests that Epoch start at 1 and be incremented with ea...
I have an application that receives relatively sparse traffic over TCP with no application-level responses. I believe the TCP stack is sending delayed ACKs (based on glancing at a network packet capture). What is the recommended way to disable delayed-ACK in the network stack for a single socket? I've looked at TCP_QUICKACK, but it se...
First time caller, long time listener... I'm working on a utility that will scan USB ports and mount any Mass Storage devices it finds. I can poll for changes ( with a patched version of Ruby-USB ) but would much rather get a notification, or subscribe to some event. Is there a way for Ruby to be tickled when a USB stick is inserted? ...
