If you don't use exec the process will run as a child process of the

Bash will also leave {} untouched since it doesn't expand to anything, so
I don't see any point in quoting it as shown.

I tried and failed to find a way to do this, and just
use 'm c' after starting telnet ('m line' to go back to

erstandable documentation or man pages for
these things. Regarding return codes, they're often implicit and not
documented; often the term `exit status' and others might be used. Shell
commands always return an exit status if 0 -- meaning true -- if the command
doesn't fail, and usually 1 otherwise, but some other exit values are used.
See also EXIT STATUS in bash(1).

ssh implicitly provides your local user name as the user on the

I suppose that could be (mis)used to implement some form of polymorphism
in shell scripts; the script executes g, but has no control over what g
actually is. Could be useful/confusing/dangerous...
I guess the same applies to sourcing function definitions from within
a script, since the f
ngs
you ought to know what you're doing, or you're there's a good chance
you're going to break your system. If you want a viable system, then
leave that and other system directories alone, and put your customized
stuff in /usr/local/bin/ or equivalent, perhaps ~/bin/, etc. But I
your application
to use a custom wrapper script, and not run the packaged ruby1.8 directly.
On my system /usr/bin/ruby1.8 is a binary, and not a shell script as I
thought you were showing.

I don't know, but would suggest adding some simple debug statements
to your wrapper and other scripts to check and make sure you're doing
what you think you're doing.

ely places, e.g.,
$ ls /bin /usr/bin | grep man
and so on. I would agree that these things should be in a default install,
and would be surprised if they were missing.

t;setup" the second card, but why? I have plenty of systems
with 2 cards, but I've only done it to host a local net on one card,
with an upstream net connection on the other. While you haven't said
much about the "firewall", I'd suggest looking at shorewall and its d
safe on a
debian system. debian doesn't mess with those parts of the filesystem,
and as long as the installed stuff doesn't mess with the non-local
system directories, libraries, etc., there should be no conflicts.
If the sources you're installing from *do* put things into "system
in find,
and dimly recall fighting and failing with trying to pipe inside a find
-exec construct. This is easy to do with a shell loop, e.g.,
for f in *.jpg; do "uuencode $f $f | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]"; done
(Sigh, for all this I assumed uuencode is running as a filter, which somehow
I doubt, given the two filenames given. I think you'll want to use a single
argument to get the output to stdout.)

allows a cache to be maintained over a long period without it
growing out of control. The configuration option
APT::Clean-Installed will prevent installed packages from being
erased if it is set to off.
Running apt-get clean will likely reduce the stuff cached in your
27;t do it, but could probably be made to approach it. The ReadKey
function can be given a timeout, so that if no key is pressed it returns
with no return value, and this could be used to detect if a key is held
down (I think...).
Emitting the sounds while this is going on might be a trick. One way
would be to fork another process to make the sounds, and communicate
with it via a pipe to turns the dits and dahs on and off. This may
sound complicated, but it's the Unix Way, and the tools support it
very well.
Just a thought...

drives, which would presumably
be local, but the rsync operation might be on a remote system where the
lights aren't visible. For that matter, umount also blocks... I often
use sync before umount, but I suppose it's not really necessary.

the convention is to top post, trim heartily, try to get the attributions

other programs that might be operating on the same files are doing.

it should be possible to swap out characters in a line, but the line
size would need to stay the same, perhaps using padding with spaces
or something. Probably much more reasonably and conventionally doable
with fixed-sized records, but if the need was there I don't see why
it should
ave proabably never set NF. I'm not sure what you're
trying to acheive, but good luck with it!
