Keywords: server processes, background jobs, charge back
Date: 16 Dec 92 22:45:46 GMT
Organization: Computer Sciences Corp. @ General Dynamics

I manage a large number of UNIX workstations for a defense contractor.
The costs of the workstations go against the contracts that the
contractor has.  A single workstation can be used on several contracts.

To handle this, I have a "charge back" system which runs at login time
and prompts the user for the contract identifier.  The contract number
is appended to the most recent record in the wtmp file and written to a data
file.  Later, the wtmp file (via last) is correlated with the record in the
data file.  The result is a record that contains the user, the login time,
the elapsed time, and the contract id.  These resultant records are summarized
and used to determine how the workstations costs are allocated to contracts.

The problem I have is that UNIX wtmp accounting tracks only login sessions.
Background jobs, and processes that are servers are not tracked.  rsh's are
not tracked either.  This kind of work is an increasingly large % of the
load on the workstations, yet I am not tracking it.  UNIX has some
additional abilities to track processes, like MULTICS cuc (command usage
count) but I would not be able to identify the contract id for these
processes.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to track server processes, rsh's,
background jobs per contract?  Know of any off-the-shelf packages, etc?

Thanks,

Harold McCabe

I think it's heading that way, but "not yet".  Most of the 
problem seems to be endless bickering among the different vendors
of OS's and GUI's.  I've been around Unix for 10 years, and am 
starting to feel like that's enough, waiting for it to really get 
its act together.  I'm going to slant my future learning efforts 
towards NT.
 
C'mon guys, the Unix pie isn't that big to support so much 
in-fighting.  At the moment, it looks like a slice of lemon, 
cherry, blueberry...  Think of this:  if just 10% of 
approximately 100 million DOS users switch to NT in the next 
three years, that's what, a bigger slice than any of the existing 
Unix vendors? any two or three of them put together?
 
Cooperate, don't Litigate.

Ladees and Germs,
Hi.  I have a bit of a problem:  it used to be, in the days of yore, that
when I ran my terminal emulator on my UNIX machine, I could do something
nonstandard like:

     stty rows 27
     tset

for my vt100 emulator, and on that 27-line emulator, it would work!  Even
though the termcap file specifies that the vt100 has 24 lines.  Now, however,
when I do this on the Sun Sparc running 4.1.x, the Sun insists on setting
the terminal to 24 lines.  I guess it's because it's now using terminfo
instead.  Well, how do I get it to believe that I have a 27-line vt100?
Make another terminfo entry (yuck!)?
Thanks!

Hi everyone...

I am trying to get a text file mail list into a UNIX usable format.  The way the list was sent
was something like this:

alias bob 	blah@blah.blah.blah
alias phil	blah@blah.blah.blah
alias mary	blah@blah.blah.blah

alias bp		bob phil
alias bpm	bob phil mary
alias mb	mary bob

Is there some sort of "Mailing list" that uses this format?  Some kind of .mailalias file or
something?  I assume the list came straight off a UNIX machine.

Thanks a lot...

The translation of LF to CR/LF is controlled by the "onlcr" and "opost" tty
mode, which apparently wasn't enabled on the console when you ran your
script.  Add "stty onlcr opost" to your script.

I'm not sure why this problem only affects your script and not the programs
that the user on the console is running, unless you were doing this while a
full-screen program (such as Emacs) was running -- they usually put the
terminal in raw mode, which disables NL->CR/LF translation.  Also, some
systems seem to leave the console in raw mode when it's not logged in.

things first, no matter how crude the solution, and then tidy up, but this
was so ugly, I'll offer it in the hopes that someone else will show both of

I think Ramez confused two different things.  The answer he gives
doesn't work.  (Is it so hard to test something so simple before
posting or is this just a case of a major typo?) Since the original
poster had a csh script, there are several obvious possibilities.

test -f alive.n.well || exit
test \! -f alive.n.well && exit
if (! -f alive.n.well) exit

On many platforms [ is just a link to test, and when test's argv[0] is
"[" it checks that its last argument is "]", so the following two lines
may also work:

[ -f alive.n.well ] || exit
[ \! -f alive.n.well ] && exit

Notice that the space after "[" is essential.  Many Bourne shells
have [ built-in since it is used so much.  Actually, I would recommend
to the original poster that he practice scripting with /bin/sh instead
of with /bin/csh.

Hope this helps,

This isn't an X question, sorry.

Could someone tell me what unix utility was used to chop up

contrib-3.00	contrib-3.09	contrib-3.18	contrib-3.27	contrib-3.36
..

But how did they get created, split and csplit on my system only works
on text and cuts binary files into all sort of sizes.

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

   Yes, but PINE is too much. Damn annoying at 2400 baud, and it's trying
to be too AP (ASCII-Pretty). Elm is functional, and non-nonsense. Great

I have a strange problem with signal(2).  As soon as I
call signal(2) with the address of the handler for SIGHUP, it jumps 
to the handler.  On checking the signal number passed into
the handler and also errno, they are both zer0.  If not for a 
wait(2) the program would exit immediately.  If I remove
the call to signal(2), the code behaves as expected (ie. does not call
the handler).  A similar signal using alarm(2) and SIGALRM works just 
fine (doesn't go to the handler until a SIGALRM occurs).  I am 
somewhat baffled.   Rather than burdening the net with code, please 
write me if you have any ideas.  Thank you!

No, I mean (1) evening out line length to some average (concatenating
short lines and limiting longer ones). Then, pre-pending some variable
string (like "JB> " to indicate Joe Blow's text).

>If you mean just limiting line length, look at fmt(1).

If fmt(1) could do all that I wanted, I wouldn't have posted (see the original
for a statement of the problem). Besides, on my system [Ultrix], fmt(1) is so
brain dead that it doesn't even accept a line-length option, so it's useless
for the task I have laid out. What I want to do, I expect, takes a short
perl or awk script, and I figure *someone* out there must have one.

Other suggestions are still most welcome.

Hello there,

	I am going to write a program for number crunching on UNIX. I am
considering between Fortan and C and I am wondering which one would be faster or
what factors would affect the speed of the program.

	I would appreciate any advise.

Thanks,
Chris.
