Subject: .netrc entry for default ftp connects
Summary: How do you specify a default machine entry in .netrc?
Keywords: ftp netrc
Date: 12 Sep 92 18:40:12 GMT
Organization: NASA/MSFC

.netrc works fine if I specify the machine that I want to contact. Often, tho,
I want to jump out on the net and use anonymous ftp.

I tried the word 'default' as a machine name, (seems like I vaguely remember
that from the dim pas) but it has no effect. 

Thanks,
Keith

Subject: Process hangs when lockd crashes
Reply-To: rjohns@brtph46.BNR.CA (Richard Johns P205)
Organization: Bell-Northern Research Ltd.
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1992 18:53:45 GMT

I'm using fcntl to lock files across file systems.  When the remote lockd goes
down, my process hangs until lockd comes up again, which can be quite a long 
time.  Is there any way to recover from this situation, or better yet avoid it 
altogether?  Since the parent process is init while the process is trying to 
lock, users can't kill it.  Ideally, I want to test to see if the remote lockd
is up, but a nice way to kill the process would be better than nothing.

For what it's worth, I'm using HP-UX 7.05 and 8.07 on 9000/425's.

Thanks,
 Rick Johns

While radio works for many things, it can't work directly on the CD-ROM.
Why?  Because the audio from an audio CD only goes to the headphone jack.
It is not converted to a mono .au file and placed on the SCSI bus.

You'd have to take the output from the audio jack, wire the left and right
output together, reduce the gain, and feed it into the mic input connection.
Then you can digitize the CD audio and use radio.

	Even though you are correct (to some degree), this is not a very
useful answer. The file MAY be gone. It depends on how your system
administrator setup your machine. There are various utilities in existence
which mimic deleting files and store them elsewhere. In addition many
sites do regular to semi-regular tape backups. In this way, you can ask
your administrator to restore your file from tape. Only sites which are
flagrantly misadminstered will not have some means of retrieving rm'd
files.
	Finally, without arguing the merits of various file preserving
methods (where have you been Kamens!? ;-) one very simple thing to do
it alias the rm command to mv all files to a 'wastebasket' or 'tmp'
directory and then later clean that directory out manually or with
a cron job. Obviously, the more creative you are, the more flexibility
you can add -- and believe me, there are many methods already in 
existence!

Two ways:
	- edit /sys/conf.netinet/in_proto.c
	find the declaration `` int udp_cksum = 0'' and change it
	to ``int udp_cksum = 1'' (near the end of the file)

That doesn't make any sense.  Audio level matching is very easy.
I don't know of any reason this shouldn't be feasible, but I

I'm not sure how this would differ on your machine, but what I've done
on ours (3B2 w/ SVR3) is go to the cron file which calls your script, and
in that line redirect the output of the script to /dev/console, or whatever
port you would use.

e.g.:
00 12 * * * /usr/local/script 2>&1 >/dev/console

alternatively, you could redirect the output of your 'echo' statement.

Just a suggestion...

  If only I could get the output from a script that

knew it, cron had mailed 411 messages to root. the messages
were one liners, the line that was suppose to be echoed to

 there is a line in the script that reads:
  
     echo "bla bla bla bla"

 I have tried to use wall, xmessage, tmessage, and a few others.
I tried redirecting crons output, but am not sure that I had done
it correctly.
 I'm on a Data General AViiON 300 workstation, running DGUX 5.4.1

Here's a thought: ~e puts you into your default editor as specified in

It it vendor dependent.  I know there is least one vendor that
is primarily BSD based that support multi-processor systems (DEC).
I don't know if Sun considers itself more BSD or System V based
these days, but they also multi-processor systems.  I'm sure there
are many more.

For DEC, the ULTRIX operating system supports most of the multi-processor
VAX systems and the DECsystem 5800.  The current version is V4.3.  I think
the MP VAX systems that it doesn't support is the VAX 6000-600 family
and the new VAX 7000 and VAX 10000 family.  Some level of multi-processor
support has been in ULTRIX since about V2.2 for the early dual processor
VAX systems.  This early supported was asymmetric, allowing a master and
slaves.  In V4 the support became symmetric, but some device drivers
still have an affinity for the boot CPU.

You might want to have everything following a csh alias as parameters to
the first command in a pipe, like:
    alias mtoday 'from \!* | /usr/bin/fgrep "`date | colrm 11`"'

The words of a csh command shell include pipes, semicolons, and

This question REALLY ought to be put in the FAQ -- "Where do I get the
FAQ?" That might sound silly (given that once you have the FAQ, it may
seem as if you don't need it to tell you where to get it) but in reality,
this is not the case. At least if you lose your copy of the FAQ you may
remember where to get another copy. Given that this question comes up
way too often, FAQ sites should really be posted more frequently.

Nope, can't be done.  The audio data goes to the headphone jack only.  It
isn't available on the SCSI port.

Subject: How to measure CPU times of commands ?

Hi Folks!

I am trying to get the performance figures (CPU [ SYS, USR ], I-O , .. )  of
processes. Is there any way of doing it ?

The ps command lumps the CPU times and is very inaccurate. It does not give
the I-O figures either.

The timed command does not work for daemons which spawn a new process and
detach:-(

Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
