For systems that do not have the xterm libraries installed, please install these to use xterm, or set the DB_TERM environment variable to start Recital from a terminal:
DB_TERM=gnome-terminal; export DB_TERM
This setting can be added to the /opt/recital/conf/recital.conf (text) file to make it available system-wide.
Please note that the Recital ODBC Driver for Linux requires a 32 bit ODBC Driver Manager.

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.
If you want details about how storage devices are performing on Redhat/Centos/Fedora use the vmstat and iostat commands.
After installing Centos 5.3 the iostat command is not available. To install it use yum:
# yum install sysstat
If when your attempt to create device meta-data fails this is drbd preventing you from corrupting a file system present on the target partition.
$ drbdadm create-md drbd0
v08 Magic number not found
md_offset 30005817344
al_offset 30005784576
bm_offset 30004867072
Found ext2 filesystem which uses 190804004 kB
current configuration leaves usable 29301628 kB
Device size would be truncated, which
would corrupt data and result in
'access beyond end of device' errors.
You need to either
* use external meta data (recommended)
* shrink that filesystem first
* zero out the device (destroy the filesystem)
Operation refused.
Command 'drbdmeta /dev/drbd0 v08 /dev/sda4 internal create-md' terminated with exit code 40

Once you have confirmed that the file system present on the target partition is no longer required at the prompt type the following:
Replace /dev/sdaX with the block device you are targeting.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdaX bs=1M count=128
Once this has completed the drbdadm create-md drbd0 command will complete with a "success."

"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

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!
Unfortunately java does not support __FILE__ and __LINE__ but you can get the same functionality with this code which can be placed in one of your libraries.
public static void showTrace(String msg) { if (msg.length() > 0) System.out.println(msg); System.out.println("Trace: " + "file " + new Throwable().getStackTrace()[1].getFileName() + " class " + new Throwable().getStackTrace()[1].getClassName() + " method " + new Throwable().getStackTrace()[1].getMethodName() + " line " + new Throwable().getStackTrace()[1].getLineNumber()); }
A quick tip for optimizing TCP performance on linux.
