    Setting screen resolution at login, RHEL5

    Hi, We have several Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 servers (Dell PowerEdge 2950) and it seems the DRAC (Dell Remote Access Card) doesn't play well with resolutions above 800x600. If I log in as root and set the screen resolution at 800x600 then we can open the console via DRAC no problem. But...

    OpenSUSE and OpenOffice

    Hi, I have OpenSUSE 11.3 installed on my netbook (Acer AspireOne), and for the most part I absolutely love it but there is one tiny annoyance. When I double-click any OpenOffice document (.odt, etc), the system prompts me asking if I want to execute, display, etc. the document. For Microsoft...

    Changing users in GroupWise 8

    IN former iterations of GroupWise I could change who I'm logging in as with the /@u- switch, but that no longer seems to be the case with GroupWise 8. Instead it seems to cache my username/password until the next time I reboot my machine. Occasionally I need to log on as another user (for...

    Having problems with Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04

    Started up Ubuntu this morning, it's been running great for me but all of a sudden today, my icons are huge, my sound card is no longer installed, and I can't even reboot. When I pick reboot or shut down it just takes me back to the login screen. What the heck?

    Microsoft Management Console has stopped working

    Question about Table of Contents and Page Numbering

    I'm currently transcribing an old out-of-print book (church history archive) into Word 2007, and I'm trying to maintain the original formatting as much as possible. The preface and introduction to this book are numbered using lower-case roman numerals (pages vi. and xi. respectively), and then...

    Need a script to determine password

    At our school, we have at least three different desktop images floating around, and each one has a different Administrator password. Luckily, they all use the same Administrator account. However, I'm trying to create a batch file that will use lsrunas to run a command as the administrator...

    Bad interpreter?

    This is a weird one. I have a script that runs on our PROD system and it works flawlessly. I copied the script over to our TEST system (identical platform - RHEL 3 with Kernel 2.4.21-60 ELsmp) and try to invoke it, and I get this error: : bad interpreter: No such file or directory I'm...

    Scritp runs fine, but not from CRON

    So I have this script and this is what it does: #!/bin/sh # # Active Sessions - displays number of active sessions and puts # a new entry into a log file. # # Adds a line (for readability) and datestamp into log echo '' >> /home/luminis/scripts/sessions.log date >>...

    Restore mailbox without restoring PO?

    Is there a way to restore the contents of a mailbox, or allow a user to restore the contents of their mailbox selectively (as with the Restore Point) without restoring the entire PO? We've only got 51GB of available space to restore to but the PO is over 60GB. I've done restores to mailboxes...

    Problem with ZEN App (7.1)/McAfee distribution

    OK, so here's the situation. We need to replace our antiquated eTrust AntiVirus (our support contract ran out and we no longer get definition updates) with McAfee VirusScan. Honestly, I thought the hard part would be removing eTrust (there's no uninstall script so I had to build an app that...

    Word 2007 question

    I had a question that intrigued me. I was asked if, when a user opens a document in Word 2007, can Word automatically go to the end of the document? I said, just hit Ctrl-End and it takes you there. The response: I'm lazy and I don't want to do that. So there's the question. I looked...

    Identical user

    Greetings. I'd like to create a new user that is based on the rights/permissions of another existing user. Is there a way to do this in Linux or no? In Windows, I select a user and click "Copy User" to do this. But I don't see any way of duplicating users with similar rights and permissions...

    Zen7 Support Pack 1

    Is there any way to just install the Support Pack or do I have to reinstall the whole kit n kaboodle? I can't find just the support pack anywhere! And reinstalling just to update the support pack seems ridiculous! Thanks in advance.

    Is something going on with MSN?

    I use a Yahoo, Hotmail, and Gmail accounts for testing our email system here at the college. When I open Firefox in the morning, it's set to automatically open tabs for the three email services plus a couple other pages (this forum being one of them). Last week, I started getting a message...

    Stopping a service with command line

    I'm trying to figure out if I can stop and start a service using a command. As I'm writing this I'm thinking it may not be possible, given the service I'm trying to stop. The problem is, our antivirus is slowing software distribution horribly, and even though we're pushing apps out through a...

    One for you script junkies out there

    There's a lot of really good scripters on this forum, so I'll put this question to you: Back in the DOS days I used the CHOICE command a lot. Since Win98 that command is no longer available in the Windows environment. So how could I write a batch file that would achieve the same result in...

    Odd behavior opening messages

    GroupWise 6.5.5 on Windows 2000 sp4 When the user opens certain messages (not all), the message doesn't appear, the box is just a blank grey box (not white like a blank text box, just a blank grey box). If he then clicks on the Properties tab, the Outside-In Viewer starts, and the properties...
