Without having access to unix - looks to me like it is logging into sqlplus via silent mode (user=system/password=manager) and suppressing output by redirecting it to /dev/null, yet accepting echo to terminal. End result (if it works) it should just produce output (of script or character input...

Can you think of any way it could be done within SQL without having to rely on a PL/SQL block ? Is it even possible in raw SQL ?

Hi there, I haven't seen this before, but thought it should be possible... Is it possible to place the results of a query into a variable, which can then be used in another query (or nested query)? example: I want to select the tablename from a table into a variable and then use the variable...

I've used sharity to connect to NT shares and it works really well, but I need to connect to a Novell share. Does anyone know what is the best way to do so ? I would prefer not to expose the box to as much as possible, as I will (most likely) have to put this on the production box. I would...

A silly question, but you are using identical drives within your RAID config ? You could look at available patches and maybe trying a newer version of Disksuite. (but stabbing in the dark - i'm afraid). Mike.

Top is not available as a standard Solaris package on Solaris 8 either. You will have to download and install. Mike.

You can also use the eeprom command to change variables however, some commands aren't usefull or available (which makes sense ;). eg. /usr/sbin/eeprom "auto-boot?"=true Mike.

You could try (If you haven't already :) "touch /reconfigure" and then init 6, or "boot -r" from init 0. When the system comes back up format should display any other available drives. This may be usefull if someone stuck a drive in there without availing it. Mike.

Have you edited the crontab entry via "crontab -e" ? Note: make sure you have EDITOR variable set to something useful, like vi. You also, may want to check to see if the crontab job that you are calling requires any environment variables, as a cron job starts without any environment...

Hi, I'd like to use sqlldr to load a multi-lined file into a single column, single record table. Is it possible ? Thanks in Advance, Mike.

I'm pretty sure you can't boot from floppy. You will need to boot -s cdrom. If the cdrom doesn't like it, you could try swapping it with one that does - assuming you have another machine that has a compatible cdrom.

There are two environment variables that you can use. They are EDITOR and VISUAL. If both are set then VISUAL is used. eg. in bourne, bash, or ksh: EDITOR=vi;export EDITOR; then run crontab with -e option. Mike.

Thanks Mike, :-) I've used metatool on one box (got two to do)... and will know in about an hour how it all went. It's currently resynching the mirrors, however, it looked like I had to delete the db mirror. I think, I'll try the method you outlined for the other.

Hi, I've got to (temporarily) use a disk from a Netra T1 web-server which has it's disk mirrored. Anyone know the cleanest way to stop a mirror, and then when I get the new drive (on order) I can put it back on. Is there a command line utility to use (eg. metadetach) ? Thanks in advance, Mike.

Hi, How do you define/setup xhost permissions (access control) through a serial terminal ? xhost wants a DISPLAY variable set, but i'm not sure what DISPLAY variable to set for the serial terminal. The server doesn't have a display card. Plus, xhost can't be configured from a remote machine...
