    My tar file contains many files but only the first file will extract

    There are probably 50 or 60 files in the tar. When I cat the tar file the contents of each file are displayed so the tar definitely contains all of the files. tar -tvf does the same and only shows the first file.

This long way of getting this script from work to home has interferred with the...

    Calling shell script with an asterisk * as a parameter

    This would work if my parameter was hard coded. However, the problem is that the parameter that I am passing in is an environment variable (apologies, I did not mention this in my earlier posting) ie. FILE=export.test FILE_EXT=log shell.ksh ${FILE}.*.${FILE_EXT}

    Installing Windows 2000 Server - Linux dual boot

    As I suspected there was a problem with the monitor settings. I copied /etc/X11/XF86Config.install over /etc/X11/XF86Config then rebooted and my Linux desktop has loaded successfully.

    Read XML file/DOM to extract element value

    Thanks for the link to the SAX tutorial, it helped me a great deal. Just one further question I am trying to parse the following using the SAX example from the link and everything is written out to a file except the equals(=) character both before "text/css" and "#F5F5DC". Any ideas why this...

    Does anyone have examples using SAX that will enable me to extract the values myType and myContent from the TYPE and CONTENT tags using the XML example below. The XML could be held in a file, string or DOM: <MESSAGE> <TYPE>myType</TYPE> <CONTENT>myContent</CONTENT> </MESSAGE>

    What object initiated the current object

    It looks like we are trying to do the impossible for the Java version we are at so we have redesigned our app so that we do not need to know the previous class. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this issue.

    You are right there is a space but I think this has occurred when cutting and pasting into this forum because the script I am having problems with does not have the space. Thanks for your input.

    I am running a job using nohup which is hanging then exiting with a SIGTTIN message which I understand is where the program is waiting for some input. It looks like it does not like the rsh command although this works fine when I run from the command line. Can anyone explain what input this...
