Just a suggestion, but there's no point in doing a yum update in your script, just add a repo line and install anything newer than what's on the inhouse repo while doing the install. jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

tccat -i /dev/dvd -T 1,${i} | dd of=ch${i}.mpeg bs=1M
will read 1 MiB blocks, one at a time from tccat then write it to the

there is no more data to read or it has read a complete block.

[CentOS] OT: Forum or mailing list for Bash-related questions?
Hi, The subject says it all. After a few years of writing scripts the quick and dirty way, I've decided to take the plunge and learn Bash correctly, using the O'Reilly Bash Cookbook. I'm currently looking for the right place to ask questions, but curiously enough, Google searches about "bash forum" result in nothing conclusive. I took a peek in the corresponding USENET newsgroup, but there seems to be close to no activity. Any suggestions for that?

In fact, we've seen far more off-topic discussion here than that... Not that I think bash is off-topic here, actually I would say most or at least a large part of users in this list are sysadmins and bash is an intrinsic part of our daily interactions with Linux, in this case, with CentOS...

There's a place for widely portable bourne-shell syntax, and a place for simple things that you can do with text substitutions and i/o redirection, but if you need more than that, why not just switch to perl or another more capable (and perhaps even more portable) language? -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] wordpress on centos, rpm or source?
Hello, I'm looking for opinions here. Do people generally use wordpress via an rpm package, 2.8.3 which always informs me to upgrade, or via a source install? I'm looking to get it going for multiple domains, each having a separate blog. Thanks. Dave. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] wordpress on centos, rpm or source?
Personally I always download the source. 1) I prefer to put it where I please. This will be especially true for you if your running multiple blogs and want to share the code as I do. 2) Updates sometimes require special handling. You don't want to drop an new version in automatically and have it require database updates that need to be done manually or via a script or control panel. 3) some updates of wordpress are not as stable as some would think.
