I am writing a script to run under the korn shell on AIX. I'd like to use the mkdir command to create a directory. But the directory may already exist, in which case I don't want to do anything. So I want to either test to see that the directory doesn't exist, or suppress the "File exists" error that mkdir throws when it tries to create an existing directory.
Any thoughts on how best to do this?

I am by no means a security expert or even a novice. I'm a newbie at security at best.
Someone suggested I use SHA1 instead of MD5 - why would I choose one over the other? Is one more secure?

Hello
There are some simple entities in an application (e.g containing only id and title) which rarely change and are being referenced by the more complex entities of the application. These are usually entities such as Country, City, Language etc.
How are these called? I've used the following names for those in the past but I'm not sure which is the best way to call them:
reference data
lookup values
dictionaries
thanks
What's the best / simplest / most accurate way to detect the browser of a user?
Ease of extendability and implementation is a plus.
The less technologies used, the better.
The solution can be server side, client side, or both. The results should eventually end up at the server, though.
The solution can be framework agnostic.
The solution will only be used for reporting purposes.
In order to refactor some methods into smaller ones, I need pass by reference, since I can only have one return type. I could create a different return or parameter type whenever I need to do this, but then I'd end up with a bunch of bloated, seemingly unnecessary classes.
What is the best alternative here, besides redesigning the program, which can't be done?
I have an application that I want to represent a users session (just small pieces of data here and there) within a GUID. Its a 16 HEX characters (so 16^16 possible values) string and I want to 'encode' some data within that GUID.
How can I achieve this? I am really after any ideas and implementations here, Ive not yet decided on the best mechanism for it yet.
I would also like encryption to be involved if possible...
Thanks a lot

I have a Python web application consisting of several Python packages. What is the best way of building and deploying this to the servers?
Currently I'm deploying the packages with Capistrano, installing the packages into a virtualenv with bash, and configuring the servers with puppet, but I would like to go for a more Python based solution.
I've been looking a bit into zc.buildout, but it's not clear for me what I can/should use it for.
Hi there,
I have a script to handle http requests. I'm trying to think of some of the security issues I might have with it. My biggest concern at the moment is how I can manage multiple requests from the same source over and over. For instance someone trying to shut down my system.
Do I need to be concerned or will Apache handling this issue. If not what is the best approach to take using php?
Thanks,

I am generating XML using Apache Velocity. What is the best (most straight-forward) way to XML-escape the output?

Anyone know of a good implementation of this whose license is compatible with non-free iPhone apps?
