    Outlook 2013 - Close original message window when deleting?

    Hi, I know Outlook 2013 and preceding versions have a "Close original message when replying or forwarding" option... but how about when deleting? As I work through my email each day, many of which contain references to support tickets or links to other external sites to do some work or...

    SunFreeware not-so-free.... but OpenCSW rocks!

    This may be old news (I don't do much Solaris admin these days), but to appease the disappointment of SunFreeware.com becoming a paid service... I used OpenCSW for the first time today and it works very nicely. Nice package and dependency management tool too...

    On-premise

    I've seen this term used more and more lately as the opposite to "off-site". It doesn't sound right to me. As far as I know there is not a singular form of the term "premises" when applied to a place? Annihilannic tgmlify - code syntax highlighting for your tek-tips posts

    Solaris for personal use - downloading patches?

    As an ex-Solaris admin I like to keep my knowledge up to date, so I run a VirtualBox Solaris 10 x86 VM. I have fallen behind on patches and the update manager is as useless as ever, presenting an empty error message dialogue box with just an "OK" button on it. So I go to find the...

    HP-UX awk weird "feature" - 't' not supported as field separator?

    How weird is this: $ for l in a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ; do echo abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz | awk -F $l '{print $1}' ; done a ab abc abcd abcde abcdef abcdefg abcdefgh abcdefghi abcdefghij abcdefghijk abcdefghijkl abcdefghijklm abcdefghijklmn abcdefghijklmno...

    'Vacationing' - a verbism?

    I regularly click on this click-to-donate site, and I emailed them to point out that "vacation" is a noun, not a verb: However it was ignored. Might that be because it's actually common usage on the leftmost continents? Annihilannic.

    Spam Can Be Fun - Part II

    Following up on 2ffat's earlier thread on the subject, it seems that spam is coming from higher and higher sources as time goes by! I wonder what's next... divine spam?? :-) Annihilannic.

    Weird characters in sysout/syserr

    Red Hat came back with a response to a bug I raised about the problem described in this thread from July last year: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1559410&page=6 The problem was that I was seeing strange characters such as the following on man pages: --color[=WHEN]...

    Which package does file "x" belong to?

    Hi Tek-Tipsters, Is there a quicker way than swlist -l file | grep /some/file to determine which package a file belongs to? Annihilannic.

    "cw" command broken on HP-UX vi

    Okay, so this is probably more of a rant than a question, but maybe someone has a workaround! ;-) <rant>Let's say I have some text separated by multiple spaces, "blah yak", and I want to replace the spaces with a tab. I would normally go to the space immediately after "h", hit cw<tab>...

    Prevent conversion of VxVM volumes to layered during grow

    Does anyone know how to prevent Veritas Volume Manager from converting large mirrored volumes to layered volumes when growing them? Specifying layout=mirror-concat or stripe-concat on the vxassist grow command-line has no effect. I've also experimented setting with the...

    Is 'sort' broken on HP-UX (or am I going mad)?

    I can't for the life of me figure out why this is happening under HP-UX (both 11.11 and 11.23/11i v2): $ cat t4 XP12K0 XP12K 0F288 CONNECTED A/A XP12K0 XP12K 0F288 CONNECTED A/A XP1283 XP128...

    Writing Javolution Struct to RandomAccessFile

    Please excuse the basic nature of this question, I'm not a fluent Java programmer. I'm trying to write a simple Javolution Struct to a RandomAccessFile but keep on getting unusual exceptions or short writes (only 46 bytes being written instead of the 212 bytes in the Struct, for example)...

    Inconsistent GNU sed behaviour

    Using this sed script: /blah/{s/blah/yak/;n;} /yak/{s/yak/blah/;n;} /foo/{s/foo/blah/;n;} /bar/{s/bar/blah/;n;} On this input: blah yak ugga foo bar I get this with GNU sed version 3.02 on RHEL AS2.1: yak blah ugga blah blah But this with GNU sed version 4.0.7 (note the extra line) on RHEL...

    Solaris 10 - where is zfs?

    I'm confused. I downloaded Solaris 10 x86 so I could play with zfs in a virtual machine. I have it installed and running, but zfs doesn't seem to be installed. So I figured it was only available in OpenSolaris for the time being, and that I'd wait until it was added to Solaris 10 rather than...

    ksh 'command' doesn't work on OpenServer?

    I can't figure out why the command ksh built-in doesn't work on an SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system: $ alias echo="echo hi" $ echo bye hi bye $ command echo bye ksh: command: not found $ whence -v command command is an exported alias for command $ alias autoload='typeset -fu' command='command '...

    PuTTY and 'more'

    Try as I might I can't get more to work properly under PuTTY 0.58 with non-standard terminal dimensions; has anyone had any luck with this? It starts displaying half way down the screen, only displays 23 lines or so, and each subsequent page overwrites the last without properly clearing the...

    for (var in array) - random order??

    Is it just me or were A, W or K sadistic? Trying this code in various awks gives surprising results... surprising to me anyway. BEGIN { a[0]="zero" a[1]="one" a[2]="two" a[3]="three" a[4]="four" a[5]="five" a[6]="six" a[7]="seven"...

    Strange y/[^e]//d behaviour.

    Hi, Could someone please explain why the ^ in the second below expression doesn't do as I would expect? $ echo hereditary | perl -n -e 'y/[e]//d;print' hrditary $ echo hereditary | perl -n -e 'y/[^e]//d;print' hrditary $ I would expect it to delete all characters except &quot;e&quot; from the...
