I have a C linux application (A) that spawns another process (P) when it is started. When I want to debug P I start A as usual and I connect with ddd/gdb to P. Problems appear when I want to debug the entry-point (start of main) of P. If I follow the usual approach when I connect the debugger to P is already to late. The solution I've f...
I'm studying an introductory course in databases and one of the exercises is to work with MS-Access. However I'm using Linux at home and although I can use the computer classes at the university it is far from convenient (limited open time - my studying time is mostly nights). So how can can use an Access file (*.mdb) in Linux, by use I...
I have an executable module created by third party. I would like to "inject" my code (kind of watchdog running in separate thread) into this process. So far there are two possible ways - one is to run my code as executable and dynamically load a proess on top of it (seems to be very hard and tricky) or to make my code a shared object, ...
This morning, I tried to commit a revision to Subversion and found that all of a sudden I did not have permission to do so. Can't move '/svn/db/txn-protorevs/21000-ga9.rev' to '/svn/db/revs/21/21001': Permission Denied Looking at the revs directory, I noticed that somebody had committed the 21000th revision, and the group write permiss...
I need to do a number of network-related things in C++ that I would normally do with ifconfig in Linux, but I'd like to do it without parsing the output of a group of system calls. Which C or C++ libraries can I use to tell if a network adapter is up or down, read or change an adapter's IP address and netmask, and change the default DNS...
The application that I am working on generates files dynamically with use. This makes backup and syncronization between staging,development and production a real big challenge. One way that we might get smooth solution (if feasable) is to have a script that at the moment of backing up the database can backup the dynamically generated f...
I'm looking for a lightweight way to make my program (written in C) be able to play audio files on either windows or linux. I am currently using windows native calls, which is essentially just a single call that is passed a filename. I would like something similar that works on linux. The audio files are Microsoft PCM, Single channel...
Our dev team is looking for an IDE like vi or nano or even textpad for windows that has the capability to autocomplete and error correction for bash or shell script for linux. Basically something similar to .NET autocompletion where you will be able to see if an if[ $# -ne 5 ]; then has no space between the 5 and the ] will tell yo...

I recently moved from the Microsoft world (Windows XP) to a virtual machine and I am now using Ubuntu Linux. I would like to learn to program in this environment, but I need guidence as to any book that outlines the basics. I am also not sure which language to start in (Java, Python, Perl). What is the best place for me to begin? ...
Hello folks, I've been trying to put a QX11EmbedContainer in my app, and I need to start a terminal within it (because with konsolepart I can practically do nothing). QX11EmbedContainer* container = new QX11EmbedContainer(this); // with or without "this" I got the same result container->show(); QProcess process(container); QString exec...

I had a typo in my fstab and it boots to a commandline but is readonly, I know what the error is but i can't change it because it's mounted as readonly. I want to mount the filesystem and make the changes. I know I can boot a live distro and edit it that way, but i was wondering if there was an easier way to do it. It's debian lenny by ...

I want to execute something in a linux shell under a few different conditions, and be able to output the execution time of each execution. I know I could write a perl or python script that would do this, but is there a way I can do it in the shell? (which happens to be bash) ...
Mostly for my amusement, I created a makefile in my $HOME/bin directory called rebuild.mk, and made it executable, and the first lines of the file read: #!/bin/make -f # # Comments on what the makefile is for ... all: ${SCRIPTS} ${LINKS} ... ... I can now type: rebuild.mk and this causes make to execute. What are the reasons fo...
I realize this is wildly offtopic but this is my last hope. I would like to only send mail from my computer, both locally and to remote servers, so I don't think I need postfix to run a daemon, but I can't find anything that will tell me how to configure it. Would anyone happen to know? ...

Once the script is started, I don't need anymore to change the ip OF THAT SPECIF...
