I am looking for a facility to perform timed logout on inactive accounts.
I know that something like this exists and I was hoping to find out whether
this was achieved through third party/ public domain/ or software
specific to a particular UNIX.  Our setup is as follows:

Machines: Sparc Server 670 MP model 52
          Sparc Station 10 model 41

Operating systems:  Currently Solaris 1.1 Sun OS 4.1.3 
                    Moving to Solaris 2.1 (System V release 4).

Thankyou in advance for your reply.

I hope this is the appropriate place to ask this question.

I'm writing elementry network programs using bsd sockets. My program uses
a client-server model. The server does a bind(), and accept()s a connection.
Everything runs ok the first time. The second time I run the program,
bind() fails. Socket was in use. I wait for a couple of minutes, the program
runs fine. I guess the OS is holding on to the sockets for a while and then
frees it.

How can I fix this problem? Can I free the socket before I exit the program?
Is there a UNIX command/program that allows me to examine the status with
regard to sockets? 

Thank you for your help. If this is not the place for this question, please
tell me where I should post this.

Subject: unbuffered stdout
Date: 7 Oct 92 23:50:27 GMT


<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

How does one go about suppressing buffering on stdout?  

We're redirecting stdout to a FIFO, which sends all output to a log file, 
so we can capture all messages for later review.  Although messages to
stdout which end with \n seem to be flushed, that's only true if stdout
is the terminal.  Once it's redirected to the FIFO, everything gets 
buffered.  That messes up our time-tagging of the messages.

We've tried a bunch of different system calls, ioctl specifications, 

  fcntl
  ioctl
  setbuf
  setvbuf
  setlinebuf

and nothing advertised seems to work.  The dumb workaround of the day 
seems to be a bcopy of the stderr I/O structure over stdout.  Since stderr 
isn't buffered (right idea!) then all messages to stdout go unbuffered to
stderr instead.  Further research suggests that just setting the
unbuffered flag in the stdout I/O structure gets the desired result.

So why don't all the advertised methods of accomplishing this work?

This all happens under SunOS 4.1.x.

If you have lpd running on the hp-ux system, try this :
1. entry in /etc/printcap :

lp:\

2. contents of /usr/spool/lp/etc/lprtolp :

#!/bin/sh
lp -s

3. ownership and permissions of spool directory and log file :

drwxrwxr-x   2 lp       lp           512 Oct  8 14:40 /usr/spool/lpd

I need to know what setting the uid and gid bits on directories will do
on these systems:

POSIX

AIX
SUNOS
HPUX
ULTRIX
DYNIX/PTX
SVR4
IRIX
(and anything else, actually :-)

I do know that setgid on HPUX will force the group of files created under
that directory (recursively) to be that group, and the setuid hides the
directory. Under AIX, setuid will deny you the ability to delete another
users file, even with the rw bits set. Unfortunately, manual pages for chown
and chmod are not very clear about this stuff.

	Yes, the way you do this is quite simple there are two ways to
do this.  The first way is to change the .login file.  The second way is
to change your terminal program to send the required char sequence.  

Here is the first way:

1)  Enter your favorite editor and edit your .login file.
2)  Find the line that reads:
	
	'> stty decctlq intr "^C" erase "^?" kill "^U"'
			change this to  "^H"

			or

    Enter the line:

	'stty decctlq intr "^C" erase "^H" kill "^U"'

		Well in either case you edit it to look like the above
		line.
3)   Save the file.  NOTE: it's a good Idea to rename the old .login
     file login_ or something.  

     Here is the second way:

     1)   Enter your comm package's setup routine.
2)   Enter the keymapping, or keyboard redefinition routine.
3)   Change the BS key from a Ctrl H to a <ASCII 127>.

real : Wall clock, or elapsed real time between start of process and 
       termination.

user : Time spent by the system executing the process in user mode, ie
       not running system calls on behalf of the application code (or
       any non-system call libraries it may have linked).

system: Time spent by the system in kernel mode, ie running system calls 
        at the request of the process.

Add user and system times together to get total CPU seconds used by the
process. Subtract that total from real time to get how long the process
spent waiting. Usually most IO overhead is spent waiting. Usually most
of the system time is active IO, actually doing work to move data, but
that depends on what the program does. The time command does not 
distinguish between time spent executing application code (say, in the
main() of a program), and above-system-call libraries, such as stdio.
If you do millions of getc()s and ungetc()s, it will all show up as
user time.

Sun doesn't ship shared versions of the profiling libraries; i.e. there are

In later varsions of "awk" there is a "close" statement.  Try this demo:
:
awk '
BEGIN   {
                for ( i=1; i<=100; i++ ) {
                        bar = "bar." i
                        print "foo." i > bar
                        close( bar )
                }
        }' /dev/null

In earlier versions, you can work around it by writing a script that
spawns a number of instances of itself to do the job.  See below:
:
# @(#) make.zdata - make a test file for 'zawk'
# the data will consist of 10 instances each of 100 different ZIP codes
# starting with 40200
</dev/null awk '
  BEGIN {
    for ( i=1; i<=10; i++ ) { for ( j=1; j<=100; j++ ) print 40199 + j }
  }' >zdata
exit 0
# EOF 'make.zdata'

:
# @(#) zawk - read 1 file & write 100 
# usage: <zdata zawk
[ $# -eq 0 ] && { awk '
  /0[0-9]$/ { print | "'"$0 0"'" ; next }

The first line in the UNIX V6 source code for su.c reveils:

/* su -- become super-user */

A few lines lower down one can find:

main()

Thus the command had no parameters.

I think this is the best you can do:

if ( ! $?NOT_LOGIN_SHELL ) then
    ...
    setenv NOT_LOGIN_SHELL
endif

The NOT_LOGIN_SHELL variable will be inherited by subshells, so the
conditional won't be true.

This doesn't actually detect "login" shells, but any top-level shell.  In
particular, a shell run by rsh or remsh will be treated as a login shell by
this.  And if you do something like "rsh host xterm", the shell that
executes the xterm command will be treated as the login shell, but the one
that runs inside the xterm window won't be.

Your directory should have the same structure as /usr/man i.e.
	~/myman/man1   ... plus others you should need
Put the man files in the appropriate subfolder (corresponding to the
extension).

Then put in your .cshrc file the following line
	setenv MANPATH /usr/man:~/myman
so that you don't have to use the -M option all the time.

The only way i thought so was by Starting a script, which creates a virtual

	I'm by no means a unix-guru, but in my experience setting up a
Linux system, the .2 or .1 helped indicate where a man page should be placed.
Although you could always look in the file itself, it's a lot easier to
type "mv *.2 /usr/man/man2" when you have a few dozen to sort. Just a guess...

   Hmmm - yeah.  I suppose it's the ol' LEFT => RIGHT dataflow diagram.  People
   visualise dataflows modelled on real life situations.  Objects generally
   travel from left to right ...

Then write (legal and it even makes sense):

	<file prog | foo arg ... | bar arg ...

There's your "left right".  Foo.
