OscarRyz's questions

I'm currently using this script line to find all the log files from a given directory structure and copy them to another directy where I can easily compress them.

find . -name "*.log" -exec cp \{\} /tmp/allLogs/ \;

The problem I have, is, the directory/subdirectory information gets lost because, I'm copying only the file.

For instance I have:

./product/install/install.log
./product/execution/daily.log
./other/conf/blah.log

And I end up with:

/tmp/allLogs/install.log
/tmp/allLogs/daily.log
/tmp/allLogs/blah.log

And I would like to have:

/tmp/allLogs/product/install/install.log
/tmp/allLogs/product/execution/daily.log
/tmp/allLogs/other/conf/blah.log

How can I mount windows share file system into RHEL?

I'm not a sysadmin, but I got this task assigned :(

I've tried this solution

mount -t smbfs -o username=samba,password=samba //Desktop/Public /mnt/public

But the output is:

mount: unknown filesystem type 'smbfs'

How can I mount a windows share into RHEL 5?

FWIW I've successfully created a link with the menu: Places>Connect to Server>Service Type:Windows Share

Which creates a link in the desktop, but I would need to programatically save files in that machine, hence I need it mounted as filesystem.

Thanks in advance

In my current work we think we can get benefit from having a knowledge base, so the next time someone has a question/problem etc, that base can be consulted and an answer will show up.

Also, it will reduce the risk from having people leaving the company with the knowledge and we would have to start all over again.

My question is, what strategy can we follow to implement/buy/get/build/etc this knowledge base?

Are there software ready for this? Would it be better to have something build by ourselves ( we have some programmers )

This is an small company ( < 30 ) and the base should be accessible from outside the office ( when the employees are with the customer etc.) so I guess a webapp is in order.

Like for instance login into my bank account or knowing what information do I submit via HTTPs?

I'm not sure what proxy server do we have.

Would it be possible/feasible/desirable that any "cloud" provider grab the source code of the Google App Engine SDK in order to break the "vendor lock in" it imposes?

I have just seen this video: Google container data center tour

What is not quite clear to me is, what's the benefit from placing the servers inside containers?

Does anyone knows where to find the description for an Oracle issue? That is the oracle issue database?

I have found a patch for my product, and the release notes says ( in my own words )

Fixed that important problem eveyone's having: ( Issue #844073 ) 

But I don't know where that issue may be to know if THAT problem is MY problem too.

EDIT

I have reviewed into metalink, but I don't find where to enter this number.

I can't find the definitive answer.

I saw somewhere ubuntu9 is not supported, but I can't find the link

EDIT:

@LukeR.

Actually I performed the steps described the link you posted which are pretty much the normal way. The problem I had ( and now reading the link the poster did have too ) was installing the parallels tools.

From your link step 25:

...I’ll update this tutorial with the steps required to install Parallels Tools in Ubuntu 9.04 once Parallels updates (currently it doesn’t work).

Which lead me to this question. Parallels tools enable the use of full screen among other things ( afaik )

I want to modify a file in vista ( C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts ) but I can't write it to disk.

Similar thing happen with other files that are not under my user directory. C:\Users\me

I am in the administrator group.

What is needed to edit these files?

Is it possible to configure sharepoint server to handle both versioning and file overwrite at the same time?

Do you have a link for that :P

:)

Thanks

EDIT

background.

I saw a small demo, where , when a file is being uploaded, there is a checkbox that reads "Use versioning". If checked, a new version of the file is created. If not, the server reject the upload saying the file already exists.

I've been told that Sharepoint can be configured to overwrite an existing file. So, in this case what I would expect is if the "versioning" checkbox is selected, a new version of the file will be created. If checkbox is not selected, the file will be replaced ( overwritten )

The problem is, I don't know if this "configuration" is possible or not.

I've read some long time ago something about the stories of a sys admin complaining about their LUSERS

It was something like the bastard sys admin or something like that.

Do you have a link from the original history?

EDIT

Thanks for the link.

What's the story ( history?? ) behind BOFH.
