Hi, How do I get the full width result for the *nix command "ps"? I know we can specify something like "--cols 1000" but is there anyway I can the columns and just print out everything? ...

Web Design Process - Planning Stage...
What I want to know is when you decide that you need to create a site, maybe for a customer, maybe not, what do you do? What is your process? What do you do in the planning stage to make it easier to create the site. I'm looking at this as in more of a web app... I've only technically created on business site, and it was mostly just ...
Has anyone read Web ReDesign 2.0, and if so, what do you think about it?
Has anyone read Web ReDesign 2.0, and if so, what do you think about it? (Link: http://www.amazon.com/Web-ReDesign-2-0-Workflow-VOICES/dp/0735714339/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224432120&sr=8-1) And, also, if you know of any other books similar to this that you would recommend for process flow, I would be interested in ...
Determining the reason for a stalled process on Linux
I'm trying to determine the reason for a stalled process on Linux. It's a telecom application, running under fairly heavy load. There is a separate process for each of 8 T1 spans. Every so often, one of the processes will get very unresponsive - up to maybe 50 seconds before an event is noted in the normally very busy process's log. ...
How to determine which process is holding a file in Windows
Sometimes you cannot delete a file that is used by some other process in Windows. Error can be something like "sharing violation". Is there any way to determine which process is holding a file? Is there any utility that can do that (I can use utility call in a program) or is there any other way to get that information? ...
What do you think when a Boolean "if" has three resulting code paths?
(Background: from a previous job, a co-worker and I would end up discussing the bug pile during lunch. We began to develop a topic called "bug of the week". I doubt I have material for 52 posts a year, but here's the first one...) Reported by: QA tester was reading HTML/JS code to write a functional test of a web form, and saw: if (fo...
Limiting assembly execution number of cpu cycles
I have a project that dynamically loads in unknown assemblies implementing a specified interface. I don't know the contents or purposes of the assembly, other than it implementing my interface. I need to somehow restrict the amount of processing power available to these assemblies. Processor priority is not what I'm looking for. I can't...
When deciding on a feature, what do you do?
Do you primarily think of reasons TO implement it, or reasons NOT TO implement it? What are the advantages of each? ...
Agile in small bites: most bang for the buck
What single aspect of agile development should we implement first to improve our development process, and why? I'm in a situation that's requiring me to "tweak" my process, rather than re-engineer it, and "agile" seems to be the mantra of the day. If we can make only one change that will improve something--quality, time to market, do...
How would one share data between a parent and forked child process in Haskell?
How would I even go about forking a child process using Haskell in the first place? Also, if pipes are an obvious solution to the data sharing question - is there any other way to do it besides using pipes? I'm familiar with the use of shared memory segments in C (the shmget, *shmat, shmdt and shmctl functions). Could Haskell be able to...
What is the scope of finalizer thread - per application domain or per process?
Based on all my reading there should be one GC thread to invoke all finalizers. Now, the question is what is the scope of this "one" thread - per process or per application domain, as the whole intention of domains is to separate and make "independent" different applications in one process space. I read here: If an unhandled excepti...
What is the HOME method?
A client asked me if I knew anything about the HOME development method. I, together with wikipedia and acronymfinder, drew a complete blank. Has anyone here heard about a development method called HOME? ...
How to blend CMMI and Scrum?
I work in a shop that is certified at CMMI level 5. This certification is important because it gives us access to certain customers and contracts. I'm looking at how to blend Scrum with CMMI. I've found some info on mixing Scrum with CMMI-3, but quite a bit of it is "hand wavy" and wouldn't hold up to intense scrutiny. Specifically, ...
access denied trying extracting an archive on the windows user temp folder
I'm trying to run a command-line process (which is extraction of a .7z archive) on a file that lies in a temporary folder on the windows user temp directory (C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp), using Process in my c# app. I think the process return error that happens because of "access denied" because I can see a win32E...
Debugging hung php
I have a php web application that is occasionally hanging. When I navigate to the page it will just sit there trying to load for hours, even though max execution is 210. This is an application uses curl behind a proxy to download stuff. Error reporting is set to all, but that dosn't matter since the page is blank and hung. I can not f...
Engineer accountability and code review processes
In your “enterprise” work environment, how are engineers held accountable for performing code inspections and unit testing? What processes do you follow (formal methodology or custom process) to ensure the quality of your software? Do you or have you tried implementing a developer "signoff" sheet for deliverables? Thanks in advance! ...
What kind-of stats does your company collect to define code / software product quality
Most programming houses / managers i know of can only define quality in terms of the no of bugs made / resolved in retrospect. However most good programmers can innately sense quality once they start meddling with the code.(right?) Has any programming houses that you know of, successfully translated this information into metrics that...
JVM Launched via CreateProcess() Loses Classpath Library
I launch the following command line (process) from a Windows VC++ 6 program using CreateProcess (or _spawnv()): java -cp c:\dir\updates.jar;c:\dir\main.jar Main and class updates in updates.jar (overiding some in main.jar) are not read or found. It is as if the updates.jar library cannot be found or read. If I launch the same line ...
How do I send ctrl+c to a process in c#?
I'm writing a wrapper class for a command line executable. This exe accepts input from stdin until i hit ctrl+c in the command prompt shell, in which case it prints output based on the input to stdout. I want to simulate that ctrl+c press in c# code, sending the kill command to a .Net process object. I've tried calling Process.kill(),...
How to make child process die after parent exits?
Suppose I have a process which spawns exactly one child process. Now when the parent process exits for whatever reason (normally or abnormally, by kill, ^C, assert failure or anything else) I want the child process to die. How to do that correctly? Some similar question on stackoverflow: (asked earlier) http://stackoverflow.com/ques...
