I am asked in a bid for tender to assert that my software will cohabit without a problem with VirusScan (v6.0.3) under Linux.
My software is a web application, running under tomcat.
It can create additional JVMs (to run ETL jobs) and writes reporting files (mostly PDF and HTML) in an application directory.
Are there any specific problem I should be aware of regarding VirusScan running on the server my app will run on ?
I'm using Debian Linux and I want to convert a CSV file to an Excel XLS Spreadsheet file. The catdoc package includes the xls2csv command that converts from XLS to CSV. However it doesn't do the reverse.
Since I just have a CSV file, I don't care about formatting or anything like that. I'm not worried if it only generates a very simple XLS file, and doesn't support the fancy new versions. Just so long as it's an XLS spreadsheet.
How can I limit the login times in linux for certain users? For example I have to a user that only needs to be enabled from 8am till 5pm? Is there a way of automating this. My environment is a Centos server administered via webmin.
Where does Google Chrome for Linux store user specific data such as bookmarks ?
I can't find a .chrome or .google directory under my home directory, any other directory I should look at ?
I remember someone here at SU gave a link to a site where you could share your Linux custom configuration files (like bashrc, vimrc and others), but I don't remember what was that site. I already searched it on here and on Google, but I had no luck so far...
Can you help me find out?
We have a Linux server acting as a router/firewall for our office. Occasionally someone will upload a large file that takes up all our bandwidth. I don't want to implement any complex rules or traffic shaping, but I'm wondering if there is a way to slow down a single connection on the spot? I found tcpnice, but it doesn't slow down the transfers in my testing.
Back in the olden days, runlevel 3 was text mode and runlevel 5 was GUI mode. So if you wanted Linux to boot up in text mode, you would just set 3 as the initial runlevel and you're done.
Nowadays it seems that things are more complicated, and since I don't want to break anything, I ask:
What's the right way to get Ubuntu 9.10 to always boot up in multiuser text mode?
Any there any linux tools that will extract the text from a Powerpoint pptx file? I tried catppt but it just returns file.pptx is not OLE file or Error. abiword --to=txt file.pptx also returns an empty text file.
I can open the file in libreoffice but it doesn't seem to have an "export as text" option. As a guess I also tried libreoffice --headless --convert-to txt:Text file.pptx but that doesn't even return an empty file.
I always thought that microsoft gets $$$ indirectly by selling more windows copies & visual studio by investing on .NET framework.
but why is microsoft allowing asp.net & .net to run on non windows systems like linux through mono & monodevelop?
I hope Microsoft will not sink because of this.
On Mac machines the user can schedule the machine to power-on automatically, is there anything for Linux that gives us the same ability? I can schedule shut downs whenever I want, it's powering up that I want to do.
Which Linux server distribution the best to run lamp server for production environment?
1. sharing hosting
2. virtual hosting
3. dedicated hosting
(Ubuntu server, redhat,....)
Thanks,

Top-like utilities are extremely handful in my work and I want to make sure I am not missing any of them. Please extend the following list of performance monitoring (top-like) family of linux tools:
top - original tool
htop - adds support to multicore/cpu
iotop - input/output monitoring
iftop - network monitoring
atop - merges previous elements into a single overview
slabtop – displays a listing of the top caches
?
The only criteria - maturity and similarity in function/style.
I'd like to be notified via email if our Linux servers are under any kind of hacking attempt or service attack. Is there some kind of all-in-one solution that can monitor for suspicious activity and send reports of said activity to an email address?
You probably all know the relatively simple RAID boxes exporting a bunch of SATA disks as one big drive via FC, SAS or iSCSI, like the HP StorageWorks MSA2000, Infortrends EonStore series or many different other models from different manufacturers.
Is it possible to create such a device with Linux, a few disks and an FC controller, using the controller in the reverse direction than usual?
This would come handy to test some ideas and concepts in an emerging SAN environment.
I have about four or five machines in the Pentium 3-4 era and I'm interested in creating a Linux server comprised of these machines. The server's main purposes would be to host several low-medium traffic websites/services (voice and game), and share terabytes of data on a local network.
I could probably throw together one modern computer as a server and call it a day, but I'm interested in using these machines to do it instead. Where would I get started in this cluster/cloud setup?
I have an OpenOfice macro that I want to use to process the contents of an OpenOffice file. I am able to do this by opening the file with OpenOffice and then running the macro. How do I invoke the macro from the Linux command line without using the GUI? Something like:
$ oowriter -headless -o MyDocument.odt -RUNMACRO MyLittleMacro
I want to add usb network support to a real-time Linux distribution we're using at work.
USB devices are recognized, but when connecting a usb network adapter no network interface is created.
From what I've read this requires recompiling the kernel build with usbnet support enabled. I don't mind doing this, but the problem is that I can't seem to find any instructions on how to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I've got some files for a project that's due in a few weeks. The guy sent them in a zipx file. How would I extract the files from a zipx on OS X or Linux?
i'd like to build a similar replica of the virtual server i hire from my hosting company in order to test a windowless application of firefox using Xvfb.
i'd like to do so using a parallels virtual machine on OSX.
i'm happy to run some commands to get info but i'm pretty much a linux noob so be gentle!
at the moment this is all i really know:
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2
thanks :)
