There is an X11 man page browser called xman which does this quite
nicely (for those users with X11 displays).  It accesses all man pages

    It is fairly easy from a program to determine if a file exists, but
suppose I wanted to determine if a given directory is empty or not? What

Actually, this is not the case.

The assertion is that the shell script I posted merely
telnets to the weather server, works it way through the
menus, and dumps back everything to the user.

Take another look at the shell script.  It processes
the data, stripping out everything that is unnecessary,
so that the final report is clean as a whistle (to coin
a phrase).

Subject: Is a getty server replacing multiple getty processes feasable?
Organization: University of Illinois at Urbana
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 06:50:17 GMT

What I was wondering if it would be possible to write a getty server which
would open the ports and spawn a getty to service a port only when input is
detected on that port.

Any thoughts on this?

Our Mips unix system has up to 50 getty/uugetty processes serving modems/serial
ports.  Each process consumes 260k.  So 260k * 50 = 13000k of memory used just
for running multiple gettys.

Seems that you haven't malloc-ed enough memory for your 'str' buffer.

Use awk instead of cut in the first place since it can both extract

>Of course, FD RCS is "better" in other senses.

  For example, the RCS supplied by HP with my Softbench stuff
occasionally dumps core in the manner I've seen with other programs
that try to use the mmap() function [mmap() is officially not
supported by HP and is known to be broken on the HP 7xx with HPUX 8x].
Someone who works at HP on Softbench might want to check and see if
they accidentally left an mmap() call in their RCS sources.

  The fix for this is to move to the freely distributable RCS and CVS
sources (being quite sure to compile them with NO_MMAP configured so
that no attempt is made to call mmap() :-).  This also means that one
gets a more capable version of RCS/CVS than HP sells.  Funny how the
free software is more dependable than the HP software (recall that HP
keeps telling us customers that their software quality control is why
we pay so much for their software :-).

  Oh, folks compiling GNU software that uses the GNU "configure"
program should note that the "configure" program sees the mmap()
declaration in the header file and assumes that it works (while it
doesn't actually work under HPUX) so you normally have to manually
edit the output of the configure program to explicitly reset the
HAS_MMAP thingy to indicate that there is no mmap() function.  
If one does this, problems with getting the GNU software running will 
be significantly reduced (though HPUX is still remarkably time 
consuming to port software to).

A lot of commands/utilities like "who", "login" etc use utmp. It has the

   It can be done using any form of io calls but I guess read/write/open/close

A bit out of touch with the rest of the world, eh?  DOS 5.0 introduced
a workable screen oriented editor that most people can use without
reading a manual.  Where's the equivalent in unix?  I happen to
like vi myself, but it's frustrating to try to help someone over the
phone who doesn't use it frequently (as it was with edlin).  With
DOS 5's EDIT I can usually just describe the changes and anyone who
has used a computer at all can make them and save the file.

I'm sorry folks ... but I've lost archie and don't know where to
find him.  Like most lazy analysts, I put a list of archie IP's
in my 'old' workstation's hosts file ... well  :-\ 

Please e-mail me or respond to this post if you have an archie IP.

Thanks,

Hi,
	I have a question as to how I can use the fopen command to
open a binary file from a C programm in Unix environment. I tried 
the fopen(pointer,"rb"); it gives me a segmentation fault. Can someone
help me with this.

thank you for your time
