For netscape try looking in /opt as well, some distros I think might put it there too, which would explain why it isn't in the path.

[techtalk] Sending pictures from cron
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to email a webcam snapshot via a crontab entry. I have the entry done and it works, but 'mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] < webcam.jpg' results that account receiving a garbled mess instead of an image. (Yes, I know the mess -is- the image). Is there any way to send this as an attachment so it does not get so garbled? Can pine work in a one-line command without invoking the whole program? Thanks! ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

Re: [techtalk] X/windowmaker
I know that's what I did on my box at home (link wherever netscape was
to /usr/local/bin/netscape), but I think what happened here is that I
installed all of the base/shared files but didn't install an actual
version of netscape with executables and all that... :o)
As far as the font problem goes, I don't have a .gtkrc in my home
directory and my global Netscape.ad doesn't appear to have any font
settings outright.
I have a gtkrc in my ~/.gimp/ directory, which sets the default font to
adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-10. Logically, this means the gimp's
fonts come up smaller :o) So I tried creating a personal ~/.gtkrc
containing the same style text:
style "default"
{
font="-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}
And then I try running gaim to test the sucker out... and it appears it
doesn't like it. wmakerconf didn't change either. I tried restarting X
and then running gaim (or wmakerconf) and they both still have the big
ol' fonts. I checked in my .gaimrc, and there's no font settings there.
Ditto for .wmakerconf/. I also tried adding that style to
/usr/share/gtkrc (at the top, I also modified some to be smaller, like
from 14 to 12 or 12 to 10)...still no change.
Closer, but not quite there.

Re: [techtalk] Sending pictures from cron
After trying uuencode and trying mpack (after digging it up), mpack works better for me. :) Thank you, everyone, for your time and suggestions!

Any feedback is > appreciated. Ok, Shell Scripts are actually pretty simple. They are a text file where each line* is a command you could normally run on the command line. You start the file off with this: #!/bin/bash Which has to be the *first* line in the script, Linux -- and all other *nixen use this to identify what program will interpret the file. After that, '#' starts a comment which lasts until the end of the line. I don't really have time to get into the if/then stuff, but hopefully, someone else will pick up the slack (time might avail itself a little later for me to continue). * Well, technically there are multiple line commands... but the definition above is good enough for now... -- Jeff -BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK- Version: 3.12 GCS/M/>P d-(pu) s+:- a17>?

[techtalk] telnet connections refused randomly?
I'm trying to work on a clients machines. All are basic RH6.1 gnome workstation installs (ftp and nfs added) I'n telneting into the main machine without any problems. But when I try to get to the second machine, sometimes it allows, sometimes I get the "connection refused" errors. Sometimes I'll be logged in and it will randomly close.

Re: [techtalk] Shell Scripts
Hi Lisa, May I recommend an excellent "take you by the hand and walk you down the garden path" book. It is called UNIX Shells by Example by Ellie Quigley. This book does C, bourne, korn, awk, sed, and grep. There are a multitude of "example" snippits with line by line explanation of each and comes with a CD-Rom. Hope this helps, Phil At 20:16 22/03/2000 -0400, Lisa Dickson wrote: >Trying to learn more about shell scripts. Examples would be of great >benefit as would site recommendations.

[techtalk] help for a newbie
Hi all. I have been reading this list for about a month, and finally got the nerve to try to install RedHat 6.1. So far so good, except, I can't get my NIC card to work. It is a Lynksys LNE100tx. I found the tulip module, it seems to be in the right place (per what I have read on the net). I did the alias line in /etc/conf.modules. Now it sees the card on boot, but fails to initialize it. Looking at dmesg I get the following: Unknown Tulip-style PCI ethernet chip type 11ad c115 detected: not configured. I figure I am missing something very easy here, but can't see the forest for the trees. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!! And if you tell me the card is crap, to go buy one natively supported, I will understand, that is what I had when I built the box, but one friend has already told me to do just that. mc "A child of five would understand this.

I'll try that, thanks :o) On my home machine (where the fonts are smaller) it's that way (100dpi before 75dpi) but I'm willing to give it a shot :o) thanks, nicole ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
