Hi,
What possible way that I can optimize the boot-time of a Linux OS? Should I modify some scripts or init scripts? If yes, what are the scripts? Can I modify the kernel source?
Many thanks
Is there an easy way to use emacs key-bindings when you are using a not-English (Russian) keyboard layout?
Whenever an international layout is on, all keystrokes are interpreted literally, M-? instead of M-a. As a result I can't use commands.
It would also be nice if Linux could interpret non-prefixed and shift-prefixed keys according according to an international layout, while keeping the rest English.
I want to embed my network connectivity application into a linux installed rack-mount server and sell it bundled. I googled some but couldn't figured out which it would be?
Do you have any experiences with these types of hardware and recommend some?
Hello,
I'm doing some kind of performance evaluation using two different vanilla Linux kernels, 2.6.22 and 2.6.31, since I assume each of them uses a different scheduling mechanism: 2.6.22 uses the old O(1) scheduler, whilst 2.6.31 adopts the CFS. Could anybody confirm the correction of this assumption?
I'm looking for an equivalent to GetTickCount() on Linux.
Presently I am using Python's time.time() which presumably calls through to gettimeofday(). My concern is that the time returned (the unix epoch), may change erratically if the clock is messed with, such as by NTP. A simple process or system wall time, that only increases positively at a constant rate would suffice.
Does any such time function in C or Python exist?
I was looking for the best way to find the number of running processes with the same name via the command line in Linux. For example if I wanted to find the number of bash processes running and get "5". Currently I have a script that does a 'pidof ' and then does a count on the tokenized string. This works fine but I was wondering if there was a better way that can be done entirely via the command line. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi.
I'm getting a runt-time "Unsatisfied link error" for libraries installed in Linux system library, which are definitely visible. This project works normally when I let Eclipse to manage it.
Does someone know if there any caveats regarding JNI and Maven, and can advice about this case?
Thanks in advance.
i want know whether we need to download GTK for making graphical interfaces in c on linux,since i have read somewhare that it is bydefault installed??????????
I'm having a code written in C that works on Linux. I want this program to work in windows, Are there any differences that I have to make in the code ?
It is a code for Server/Client communication using sockets taken from here :

I am need to parse a pdf file. I would like to use objective-c and Cocoa classes to do so, but I need the resulting application to run on Linux. Is this possible? My experience to Objective-C revolves around the iPhone so I'm relatively new to Cocoa. Thanks.
Hi,
I want to learn C , UNIX and LINUX, and more about embedded systems. Very much interested in them. Are there any online courses or websites which can guide me. And please suggest books to read in learning them.
Thanks for your time.
I'm a pretty Huge n00b when it comes to Linux
exec ('whoami', $output, $return);
echo $return;
// Outputs 127
Which means the command is not executing. I can get it to execute when I root into the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have some experience with Eclipse and Qt creator and am somewhat disappointed in their debuggers, less so in their editors. On Windows, I like Visual Studio for debugging and SlickEdit for editing (SE is also available on Linux). Is there an IDE that is somehow better than the two mentioned?
Is there an equivalent C function in linux for reading the CPU counter and its frequency?
I am looking for something similair to GetWPC and GetWPCFreq winapi functions that uses the 64bit counters in modern cpu's
I have a list of files named:
file000
file001
file002
file003
...
file1100
How can I match all files that have a number greater than 800 but less than 1000 ?
I am using linux bash
Thank you
Edit
Actually, my files are named like:
ab869.enc
cp936.enc
g122345.enc
x2022.enc
abc8859-14.enc
aax5601.enc
cp936-1.enc
so the first solution dont match the correct files :(
How can I match files that have number between 800-999 ?
How can I search the memory state of an process in Linux? Specifically I wish to identify certain regions of interest, and peek at them at regular intervals, possibly occasionally poking new values.
I suspect an answer may involve calls to ptrace(), and reading /proc/[pid]/mem, but need more to go on.
How can I sum (using Linux shell) numbers in a column? If possible, I don't want to use powerful tools like awk or perl. I want something like giveMeNumber | sum
Since the Linux kernel is getting bigger and bigger, do you think its monolithic design will be a problem to scale up well? Do you know of any project undertaking a redesign of the kernel to ease its growth?
I'm curious what the CPU ordering is in Linux. Say I bind a thread to cpu0 and another to cpu1 on a hyperthreaded system, are they both going to be on the same physical core. Given a Core i7 920 with 4 cores and hyperthreading, the output of /proc/cpuinfo has me thinking that cpu0 and cpu1 are different physical cores, and cpu0 and cpu4 are on the same physical core.
Thanks.
Where Linux/Unix environment variables are kept? How can I add my own environment variable and make it persistent, not only within currently running script?
