Thank you in advance. I need to get data from the serial port of a linux system and convert it to TCP/IP to send to a server. Is this difficult to do? I have some basic programming experience but not much experience with Linux. Are there any open source applications that do this? Again thank you for any help. ...
I'm using select() on a Linux/ARM platform to see if a udp socket has received a packet. I'd like to know how much time was remaining in the select call if it returns before the timeout (having detected a packet). Something along the lines of: int wait_fd(int fd, int msec) { struct timeval tv; fd_set rws; tv.tv_sec = msec...
I use Linux's mount(2) function in a single-threaded process. But mounting of devices devices like CD-ROM may take a while (worst I've seen is 40 seconds!), as it will ponder a little, spin up the disk, and only then will mount the filesystem. This may block the process from processing other events for considerable time. I cannot seem t...
I'm working on some academic research projects involving scraping large data sets from the web using Python. It's been inconvenient to work on my academic institution's Linux server because (1) I don't have superuser access, meaning I'm dependent on the IT staff to install my packages, and (2) my disk quota is somewhat limited (I would i...
Hi I have written a program which generates parameter index for 2 variables. Say, a and b in steps of 5. like this I have to do for 23 variables. So I don't want to write 23 for-loops to run, how can I make it into a single for-loop which is common for all 23 variables. I hope it can be done with an array, but i don't know how to implem...
I want to add a row of headers to an existing CSV file, editing in place. How can I do this? echo 'one, two, three' > testfile.csv and I want to end up with column1, column2, column3 one, two, three (nb changing the initial CSV output is out of my hands) EDIT: I originally had this as 'using sed' but any standard command w...
I have just installed phpMyAdmin on my new Fedora Core 10 dedicated server. I downloaded the phpMyAdmin-3.1.2-english.tar.gz. I extracted it and placed it in this folder /opt/phpMyAdmin-3.1.2-english and i created a symbolic link in the /var/www/html directory so that I can access it like this: http://www.mydomainname.com/webdb. When I...
How could I forward the X window output from a program under Linux (Debian Lenny)? Any suggestions and / or experience? The easiest way would be to restart the process with a new DISPLAY enviroment variable, but I don't want to take down the process at all. What I'd like is to change the X output to another machine "on the fly"... Appa...
I need to set up a test environment on my XPSP3 machine that runs Apache, MySQL, and PHP. My original test environment was an old box that ran those three under Win2k. That box died. Running on Windows was never optimal because the ultimate hosting environment is CentOS Linux. What is the most straightforward way to set up a virtual mac...
If I use "top" I can see what CPU is busy and what process is using all of my CPU. If I use "iostat -x" I can see what drive is busy. But how do I see what process is using all of the drive's throughput? ...

I am developing some Python programs that I'm running on a remote Ubuntu Linux server (hosted on Slicehost). I would like to work on the source in an IDE on my Windows Vista PC, and have all file modifications sent directly to the Linux box without my intervention (i.e. without having to manually SFTP the files each time I change them). ...

I'm primarily a front-end coder but I'm not a stranger to server-side programming or the command line. Regardless I've still got a lot to learn about setting up servers and whatnot so I was wondering if anyone could help me put together some steps for setting up CouchDB on (preferably) ubuntu. That's my main goal but I'd also like to ge...
Enlightenment DR16 is packaged with openSUSE 11.1 but it's a bit painful to use with KDE apps as there's no obvious (on the Enlightenment site, google etc.) way to provide a systray for KDE apps that require one (e.g., ktorrent). Anyone know of a way around this? I'm not using e for the eye-candy - I'm running on a 2.6GHz Celeron and K...
Presumably there is a library or simple asm blob that can get me the number of the current CPU that I am executing on. ...
I've been using the RestFixture in Fitnesse to test a REST service which is running under Tomcat. When Fitnesse is run on Linux (Redhat to be precise) the fixture doesn't pass any querystrings to Tomcat (the log entries prove this). However, the exact same fixture running through Fitnesse on a Windows machine works as expected. Has anyo...
