I remember reading an article a while back that had a sentence that stuck in my head. First of all, I don't remember if it was about unix or linux, but it was about an operating system. The phrase that got stuck in my head was that the license the guy who started the project chose was good because it kept the project intact because the...

Everything goes fine, but when internet connection is down - bot thinks that it's still connected, and when connection is up again - of course bot doesn't respond to any message. Each time since bot is successfully connected gloox' recv() returns ConnNoError, even if interface is...
From what I can see Gearman does not support scheduled jobs or delayed jobs. I was thinking that perhaps the scheduled job could be queued in at first and then added to the Gearman queue after the at time period has expired. at tasks are persistent as they are written as files to a directory in the spool directory of the server. So the ...

I'm running Python 2.6 on a FreeBSD machine, and I would like to do (and I don't know the correct term for this) two-stage authentication against an active directory. Basically, the process to log in user 'myuserid' is: Bind to the AD LDAP server using a system account created for this purpose (call it DOMAIN\gatekeeper) Verify myuser...
Hi, I am trying to put together a portable set of files/scripts that will enable me to mimic a unix like environment on Windows. I do not want to install anything.

Just out of curiosity, what is the preferred way to achieve interprocess synchronization on Linux? The sem*(2) family of system calls seem to have a very clunky and dated interface, while there are three ways to lock files - fcntl(), flock() and lockf(). What are the internal differences (if any) and how would you justify the usage of e...
