    Remote boot an HP9000 HP-UX system

    Does anyone know of devices or mechanisms to remote boot an HP9000 HP-UX system? It is attached to our network. We are currently disaster planning for the case that no one could physically get into the server room to boot it if it went down due to power loss or the like once power is restored...

    Printer won't print multiple copies

    We have an HP Linejet printer that is on out ethernet network that we print to from an HP 9000 with HP-UX 11.1. It prints fine except that anytime we print multiple copies, only one copy comes out. I can either print with the -n or lpalt with the -n, but only one copy comes out. We have other...

    Setting up HP Linejet 1000Q for network printing.

    We've got an HP Linejet 1000q printer hooked up to the network, but have only been printing to it from an old MPE system. We've been trying to get it set up to print both from Windows XP workstations and our new HP Unix system. We've tried everything it seems, but we can't quite get it. From...

    Gender bias in IT

    Those things are rediculous too. I never said they weren't. But as my grandmother taught me a long time ago, two wrongs don't make a right. I minored in history in college and know all about the KKK crap and the Religious Right. Sadly, it still exists. What you are advocating is a regression...

    Gender bias in IT

    Then Xutopia, you've never not been hired just because you are one race. Isn't that what we want to get away from? "...doesn't hurt too much." That is the most rediculous thing I've ever heard. I've never owned slaves, I've never descriminated in my life. What did I do to deserve...

    Gender bias in IT

    Descrimination either way is still descrimination. All it does is build resentment and that is not good in the long run.

    Exporting to fixed position text

    I know RTF didn't work for me either. I found that exporting things as text didn't work as CR seemed to try to change some of the formatting. I exported as "separated values" but specifide nothing as the delimiter and separator and that seemed to work great. It kept any formatting I...

    Exporting to fixed position text

    I need to export data to a fixed position text file. IE, name from colums 1 to 20, address from columns 21-40 etc. Is there any tricks to positioning your fields in the report layout that would do that or is it just trial and error? Any other ideas are welcome also. Thanks!

    Kind of amazing

    That is just why some major corporations are gonna start imploding on themselves. Some are already starting.

    Interviewing skills?

    A little tip I would give you, from my own experiences, is not to get too detailed or technical. I was in an interview once and one of the persons interviewing me started asking these little detailed picky little questions, quite a few of which I didn't know. They of course were just about the...

    When we upgraded to CR9 from CR8.5, we started getting Minisoft errors when creating reports. Very simple inquirys to our HP3000 database work, but just link 2 datasets and pull 2 fields from each and boom. "Failed to open a rowset. Details: 42000:[Minisoft][3kodbc.dll]Syntax error in...

    Group Selection Dilema

    Thanks for the help. Your basic idea worked although I had to modify it slightly for my specific application. And this is going to help me on something else I need to finish up also.

    Group Selection Dilema

    I have a database with a one to many relationship of a student record to many activity records. I am grouping on the student id of the student record. I only want the student to print if there is not a specific value any of the activity records. IE, if any of the activity records have an...

    How come the "Bad Guys" never post to these forums.....

    It can be a dog-eat-dog world out there, and otherwise decent people "turn to the dark side" just to protect themselves. Maybe it's not the right thing but they perhaps see it as the only way they can do it. Or at least they take it as easier than working hard or searching for a more...

    Eval version of Crystal 9?

    I suspect that if they advertised it, they would get bombarded for it.

    Why do we retain managers who know nothing?

    One reason they stay on is that if they are removed, it looks bad for those who hired him in the first place. If they have been there a while also and the "official reason" they are released has been going on for a while, an attorney can start asking why wasn't he released earlier and...
