- For building shared libraries on the MAC the following need to be set
-
- The shared library file extension should be .dylib
- The compile flag is -dynamic
- For accessing the shared libraries at runtime
-
- DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to be set to the location of the shared libraries
- Useful utilities for shared library support
-
- The following command will display the table of contents of the dynamically linked library
otool -TV sharedlibraryfile.dylib
In Adobe's own words:"Adobe® AIR® is a cross-operating system runtime that lets developers combine HTML, Ajax, Adobe Flash®, and Adobe Flex® technologies to deploy rich Internet applications (RIAs) on the desktop."
The outcome of this combination of technologies is that developers can design and render quite beautiful user interfaces cross platform. For us desktop Linux users it is nice to have
an additional avenue for obtaining and running attractive desktop applications.Examples of great Adobe air applications are Adobe.com for My Desktop, TweetDeck and the Times Reader. You can download these applications and many more at the Adobe Marketplace.
The easiest way to install Adobe Air on Fedora 12 is to download the latest build from Adobe, click here.
Once you have downloaded the .bin file do the following at the shell:
su - chmod +x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin ./AdobeAIRInstaller.binOnce you have Air installed, there is a slight tweak you will have to do to get it running on Fedora 12, it is related to the security certificates. This can be remedied in one simple line at the shell prompt as root.
su - for c in /etc/opt/Adobe/certificates/crypt/*.0; do aucm -n $(basename $c) -t true; doneWhat this line is doing is using the aucm which is the Adobe Unix certificate manager to set the certificates installed as trusted.
You will now be able to go to the Adobe Marketplace and download and run Air applications without any issues.
Enjoy!

APPEND FROM <table-name>Before when appending into a shared Recital table each new row was locked along with the table header, then unlocked after it was inserted. This operation has now been enhanced to lock the table once, complete inserting all the rows from the table and then unlock the table. The performance of this operation has been increased by using this method. All the database and table constraints are still enforced.
echo "Hello world\n"
// determine how many Recital users are on the system
nusers = pipetostr("ps -ef | grep db.exe | wc -l")
If you have a live linux site that is running vmware virtual machines, you can pause the virtual machines when you want to perform a backup, I use acronis for linux which does incremental backups and you can specify a command to run before and after the backup, this allows backups to be performed at scheduled times daily without any intervention. In my examples below, the virtual machine i want to control is in /root/vmware/Recital/Recital.vmx
To pause the virtual machine on linux:
# vmrun pause /root/vmware/Recital/Recital.vmx
and then to unpause after the backup has completed:
# vmrun unpause /root/vmware/Recital/Recital.vmx
That is basicallty it, no need to attend the backup and it can be perfomed at a suitable time so no users are affected.
Incidentally, vmrun lets you startup a virtual machine at system startup too, without needing the GUI:
# vmrun start /root/vmware/Recital/Recital.vmx
Or alternatively stop it:
# vmrun stop /root/vmware/Recital/Recital.vmx
There are lots of other capabilities of this command, running applications inside the virtual machine etc etc. For full details just type vmrun in a terminal window.
