Just when I had gone and written my own init scripts for MQ, IBM release a support pack for Linux/Redhat. It is in RPM (rpm2cpio.pl anyone?) format, and seems very linuxy. I’ll stick with my own Solaris scripts, but should you run MQ on linux, then check it out.
I’m so used to making branches in CVS.
<br /> cvs tag -b system_test<br /> As the CVS doco states simply, “This splits off a branch based on the current revisions in the working copy”, and these revisions will get assigned the branch name, in this case `system_test’. Simple, powerful enough and quick!
But Rational Clearcase is a different beast as I learn it. You have to make your branchtype.
I’ve started blogging from textmate. And this is one of my recent posts using this app.
A friend uses Textmate and swears by it as his main text editor, so here I am using it more often (Thanks Tim). I’m still a dab hand at vim, BUT now that I can blog from textmate, then its looking like my licence will finally get some use.
From where I stand using the Mac is soooo much more than just jumping on a computer to bang out some email.
I know it has been blogged to death by now, but Mac OSX, my desktop OS of choice, is now officially a standard UNIX. Specifically to the UNIX 03 Product Standard. This confirms it conforms to Version 3 of the Single UNIX Specification. This makes Apple Inc. an official UNIX vendor along with all the other big boys.
On the serverside, I will stick with OpenBSD as my personal server OS of choice, with Solaris following close behind.
Logging on to Warcraft on the weekend, I note that a new expansion has been announced at Blizzcon. It features Arthas as Lich King, no doubt in some mega dungeon that you and 25 of your closest friends get to take down. In addition there is new land to the north including buildings you can take down – towers, etc. – very reminiscent of Warcraft3 for all you old school gamers.
A quick lesson (for my own benefit as much as yours) in applying Access Control Lists (ACL) on files and directories under Solaris (in this case Solaris 9).
To allow group “somegroup” read only access to a folder recursively, you need to set the ACL on EVERY directory and file. This is due to the fact that the Solaris setfacl command does not have a recursive option (do not confuse -r with recurse).
It is really amaing what a “branded” piece of computer equipment can do compared to its 1/2 price no-name competitor.
3 Years ago I purchased a 400W PSU. It suited the PC system fine, but when I got my new Leadtek Geforce 7 series card, it had a molex power connector on it which required dedicated power direct from the PSU. The bus power is just not up to speed o supply this Graphics Beast to drive all those pixels.
I have to say something about policing transport in Melbourne. I have had a number of occasions where I have called emergency services. Only once were they able to respond, and they let the crazy violent people back onto the train – the crazy people acted normal for the Police and resumed their craziness after they left. In the case of calling 000, it is difficult to advise the operator where you will be (which station, town, etc.
Was implementing an MQ cluster at work recently, and the question arose on setting up init scripts for MQ, specifically the listener, runmqlsr. I was advised that inetd is the usual method for setting up any MQ daemon.
However, I read a blog post on A Hursley view on MQ blog, and it stated that launching the runmqlsr seperately, and not using inetd is the now preferred method of having your MQ daemon running.
