Many times when I lose connection to my development server, I just log back in and have a .swp file to deal with when I re-open. Does vim have a mod to allow deleting by initial prompt? Thanks ...
My deploy.rb sets some environment variables to use the regular user's local Ruby rather than the system-wide one. set :default_environment, { :PATH => '/home/myapp/.rvm/bin:/home/myapp/.rvm/bin:/home/myapp/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.1-p378/bin:/home/myapp/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.1-p378/bin:/home/myapp/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.1-p378%global/bin:/home/...
Is there a way to abort a python write operation in such a way that the OS doesn't feel it's necessary to flush the unwritten data to the disc? I'm writing data to a USB device, typically many megabytes. I'm using 4096 bytes as my block size on the write, but it appears that Linux caches up a bunch of data early on, and write it out to ...
In bash, when I go back in history, edit some command and run it, this edited command is appended to history and the original one is left intact. But every once in a while I somehow manage to affect the original command, i.e. my edit replaces the original command back in history. I can't put my finger on how this happens. Can someone exp...
On Ubuntu I compiled sbcl 1.0.35 with threading. I can happily use sbcl from the command line and my hunchentoot website works with threading but when I logout it's gone. When I attempt to nohup sbcl nohup ./src/runtime/sbcl --core output/sbcl.core I get (SB-IMPL::SIMPLE-STREAM-PERROR "couldn't read from ~S" # 9) I've attempted va...
Is it possible to trap Linux signals (e.g. SIGUSR1) through an handler in Erlang? (without having to resort to a driver crafted in C) ...
__thread Foo foo; How is "foo" actually resolved? Does the compiler silently replace every instance of "foo" with a function call? Is "foo" stored somewhere relative to the bottom of the stack, and the compiler stores this as "hey, for each thread, have this space near the bottom of the stack, and foo is stored as 'offset x from bottom...
Hi all, I have a server currently running RHEL 5.1, and I would like to upgrade it to RHEL 5.4. The server is not connected to the Internet, so I don't think I can use "yum update". How would I be able to upgrade my server, and is it just a small-scale upgrade, like Windows patches, leaving everything on the server intact, or would it...
Hi, I've been a visual studio developer for long and just trying to understand how things are in linux/unix worl.

Do all Qt applications require KDE to be installed? Is it enough if the Qt runtime is installed along with GNOME? Can I make a Qt application look exactly like a GTK application under GNOME? Could anyone please point me to some article detailing the relationship between Qt, GTK, KDE, GNOME, X? ...
Where Linux/Unix environment variables are kept? How can I add my own environment variable and make it persistent, not only within currently running script? ...
Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for an easy-to-use GUI automation/macro platform for Linux. If you're familiar with AutoHotkey or AutoIT on Windows, then you know exactly the kind of features I need, with the level of complexity. If you aren't familiar, then here's a small code snippet of how easy it is to use AHK: InputBox, ...
This thread can be treated as a sister thread of previous one posted by me as well. It's will be very tedious that when you want to bind a link local adress to a ipv6 socket you need to the set sin6_scope_id field of sockaddr_in6 struct as well. I'm wondering if someone can provide a good practise like solution here for me or anyone who ...
I have a program that uses pthread library to do the matrix multiplication of 500x500 matrix. Each thread calculates 50 rows of the matrix. When I run tiem command:- shadyabhi@shadyabhi-desktop:~$ time ./a.out real 0m0.383s user 0m0.810s sys 0m0.000s shadyabhi@shadyabhi-desktop:~$ How come sys+user is greater than real tim...
Why is calling a standard library function inside a signal handler discouraged? ...
Hello, Is it possible to hide the Linux hidden files (.* files ) in Windows. Does explicitly hiding the files by changing the file properties in windows have any effect in Linux.. ?? Thanks Kiran ...
I made this bash one-liner which I use to list Weblogic instances running along with their full paths.This works well when I run it from the shell. /usr/ucb/ps auwwx | grep weblogic | tr ' ' '\n' | grep security.policy | grep domain | awk -F'=' '{print $2}' | sed 's/weblogic.policy//' | sed 's/security\///' | sort I tried to incorpora...
This is a naive (and likely dumb) question, but I can't seem to get the R syntax highlighting to work with my Linux setup. I've downloaded a r.vim file that has improved syntax highlighting, and it works on my Windows gvim setup. Does this r.vim file need to be in the /usr/share/vim/v70/syntax directory? Right now, I have it in my h...
I need to find a hosting company that provides a LAMP stack, the P being PHP. Finding that is pretty easy, but I have a further requirement of unixODBC and FreeTDS or some equilant. The project will require a remote connection to a Microsoft SQL 2005 database. Most of the project will use a local MySQL database but it also requires d...
I have a class that I can have many instances of. Inside it creates and initializes some members from a 3rd party library (that use some global variables) and is not thread-safe. I thought about using static boost::mutex, that would be locked in my class constructor and destructor. Thus creating and destroying instances among my threads...
