Scripting question
by Kevin McGregor 01 Feb '07

01 Feb '07

I have this script: #!/bin/bash if [ -e /var/run/pgsql.pipe ]; then while [ -e /var/run/pgsql.pipe ] do psql -q -h padsysdb -U sysloguser syslog </var/run/pgsql.pipe done fi ...running on a Ubuntu Linux server. It's clearly very simple; it just keeps checking the named pipe /var/run/pgsql.pipe and sending the contents to the psql command, which interprets the input as a SQL command and executes it accordingly. My question is, given that I want this … [View More]

Encrypting a filesystem
by Kevin McGregor 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Does anyone have any pointers on how to set up a server which will encrypt, say, the /home filesystem (~300 GB)? I'm open to any Linux or *BSD solution. Don't make me resort to using Windows! :-)

Ruby on Rails 1.2 release...
by Montana Quiring 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Hello, I think Bill was talking about Ruby on Rails at the last MUUG. They've release a new version, 1.2. [quote] We're talking mime types, HTTP status codes, and multiple representations of the same resource serious. And of course there's the international pizzazz of multibyte-safe UTF-8 wrangling. That's just some of the headliner features. On top of that, there's an absolutely staggering amount of polish being dished out. The CHANGELOG for Action Pack alone contains some two hundred … [View More]

Migrate to new, larger hard drive
by Kevin McGregor 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

Here are a couple of links regarding migrating a Linux/BSD system to a new hard drive: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Hard-Disk-Upgrade.html http://reactor-core.org/disk-migration.html They're a bit old, but helpful anyway. Just searching with Google for "Linux migrate to new hard drive" should produce some additional useful links. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=linux+migrate+to+new+hard+drive&btnG=Go…
