And don't you know if there is a version of Core with Rebcode for 
linux?

I have a problem that my httpd (an old Apache installation) goes 
into DE-FUNCT state from time to time. But I don't have any clue 
why. And, it never happend before. The last thing I did, was to disable 
SSL mode and I now have a SSH server running in port 443.
My installation is an old RH7.2


Has anyone an idea where I can take a look to find out what the problem 
is? I checked the /var/log files but no hint in there.

dlna? What's that a program?
I just found a media server reference for this aconym.
How can I get back the output of a shell command? I tried:
>> procs: ""
== ""
>> call/output procs "ps -A"
== 100
>> ? procs
PROCS is a string of value: ""
Got it. The call is:

call/output "ps -A" procs

If you need more control, Gabriele and Doc have a great async-call 
module.

This works as a simple watchdog script. So no big deal.

I do the same thing (on WIndows). We have a lot of REBOL processes 
running, so mine also sorts and filters, showing the top CPU users 
and the stats for all REBOL processes.

In reference to my "comment" on sunday, it's the second time that 
something that wasn't intended for AltMe got into a group here - 
I was searching for "dlna" on Google. Funny thing is that I don't 
recall AltMe getting focus at the time.

Is Altme set to grab focus on receiving a message?

You can configure it in the settings, but I'm not sure it works for 
Linux

On Ubuntu with Compiz Fusion, AltME just brought itself to the top

I just downloaded vmware image of CentOS (based upon RedHat enterprise) 
and would like to run httpd automatically after my system starts. 
How do I do that? I can log into X, start services config tool and 
start httpd manually, but I would like to run it after the system 
boot. httpd is configured in /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd .... don't remember 
where to put it to have it started automatically ....

Does CentOS have update-rc  by any chance?   update-rc.d httpd defaults 
 will configure the init.d scripts for all default run levels on 
Debian.   For CentOS (I don't know CentOS utility bits) try
# chkconfig --level 235 httpd on
# chkconfig --list httpd

Which will set httpd to run at levels 2 3 and 5.   *Assuming # is 
the superuser prompt, not the bash comment.

Umm,  how to describe.  bootup and shutdown modes.  5 is GUI, 2, 
3, 4  is console (or gui on some distros)  multi user, 1 is single 
user only  0 is go down  and it is similar to protection rings on 
the x86.   Move into and move out of control sequencing.  With a 
fairly hairy system of named scripts controlling whether they get 
executed and in what order  S80 K10 kinda things.  S is "normal", 
run me at startup, and all through symbolic links our of init.d
Nice to know about if you really really need to figure something 
out admin wise ... for home use, su's crontab and utilities like 
monit can make life a little easier on the brain, but perhaps less 
secure.  Just don't let the scripts break during boot in superuser 
mode if you don't play the rc game.  :)
Just read a couple; this is a good intro.  http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/212


and I was just about to his ^S on this entry and then noticed the 
 :-)   :)  Oh, well

I've been looking at D-Bus. It looks useful, and easy to implement 
in REBOL in a cross-platform way.
At least the client would be, anyways.
BrianH

You could implement one-to-one communication with no difficulty, 
even on platforms with no message bus.

Hey!  What are you doing in this group?   I love DCOP ... too handy, 
definitely one of the beautiful things about KDE.  It'd be neat to 
see D-Bus catch on.

Escape the .Net Brian, Come to the light side.

Umm, if you ever get sick of this running gag; just yell at me and 
I might stop.  :)

The're porting D-Bus to Windows, and the object model is as much 
like COM as it is like CORBA :)

KDE is running on Windows already (in alpha). It's becoming just 
another distribution :)

I think I can live with that actually, as long as Aero doesn't port 
it's way over to Debian, I'll be ok.  :)

They're already doing it. What do you think Compiz and such are?
All of that 3D fluff is just as silly on Linux as it is on Windows.

I was just going to add, I wonder if Windows could handle Beryl.

Agreed.  Until we get laser beam to the eye HUDs, yep.  Fluff.

Wake me when there is some real point to turning on the WinXP/2003 
Themes service, let alone Aero.

Don't like blue either, so KDE doesn't appeal that much :)
I'm hoping the black in KDE 4 will be better.
Of course this is why I have other people mock up my GUIs, like in 
DevBase - my taste isn't common.

Love the KDE blue ... but to be honest, prefer a white background, 
black text and a CLI
BrianH

White background, black text can strain your eyes after a while - 
I often prefer the opposite. I like the CLI though.

I grew up on Amber and Green screens.   Take that eyeballs.  :)  
 Especially when you have a couple of each colour (we had four or 
five tubes each ... windowing at it's finest).

btiffin - thanks for pointing me out to runlevel articles. I simply 
expected something as easy as autoexec.bat or startup-sequence :-)

Has anyone much experience with using Wine?  I'm running my application 
under wine and all the decimals are being displayed in scientific 
notation.  So, instead of seeing 14.5, I see 1.4500000 x10^1 etc.
Gabriele

REBOL is using a windows function for decimal to ascii conversion 
that wine implements incorrectly.
