How do i get a network name? HOSTNAME=... doesn't work anymore

Hi,
I'm sure this question sounds very n00by, but this used to be working just fine in archlinux by setting the hostname variable and that was the network name as well. No issue and worked like a charme. However, i reinstalled my system and i got the (unpleasant) surprise of a lot of changes.
So, what's the "new" equivalent of HOSTNAME="pc-name" so that it works on the network again? I'm using just the default stock network stuff but with a static ip, no special things.
Right now i do have my hostname set in rc.conf but i can't ping my machine by that name. No, nothing in the local network changed. It really is only a reinstall of a local machine.
Cheers,
Mark

Do you also have the hostname set in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts?
ArchWiki wrote:
A host name is a unique name created to identify a machine on a network. With Arch Linux, a machine's host name is set in /etc/hostname or until a restart using the hostname command. Host names are restricted to alphanumeric characters. The hyphen (-) can be used, but a host name cannot start or end with it. Length is restricted to 63 characters.
Simply put your host name in to /etc/hostname (archlinux is the host name in this example):
archlinux
After setting a host name, it is also important to include the same host name in /etc/hosts. This will help processes that refer to the computer by its host name to find its IP address, as well as programs that rely on the gethostname() system call to determine the system's host name.
Edit /etc/hosts and add the same HOSTNAME you entered in /etc/hostname:
127.0.0.1 archlinux.domain.org localhost.localdomain localhost archlinux
And do you have a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf?
If none of this works, can you try using dhcp in your rc.conf just to make sure it's a config problem?

Hi,
I tried your suggestions and using dhcp it works partly.
This is my static config:
interface=eth0
address=192.168.1.99
netmask=255.255.255.0
broadcast=192.168.1.255
gateway=192.168.1.2
When i use dhcp (so comment out the lines except interface=eth0) then i do get the name assigned, but i can't ping the pc or access it by name. I can by ip.
If you have more suggestions, please do share
Cheers,
Mark

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to connect to a Slingbox

How do I get the user name and password for the Apple Extreme Router to set up my Slingbox? It will not accept the Apple Extreme Name and password.

The AirPort Extreme does not have a User Name, but it does have a device name and device password, which you may have already tried.
There is also a Wireless Network Name and Wireless Network Password for the AirPort Extreme, which might be what the Slingbox is looking for if you are trying to connect it to your wireless network.
There are no other "user names" or "passwords" on the AirPort Extreme.
You established the device name, device password, wireless network name and wireless network password when you originally configured the AirPort Extreme.
If you cannot remember these, you will need to perform a Soft Rest to reset everything. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document:

Actually, I really don't know what you say.
But when you see the properties of a file in Windows, you can see there are two file size. One is called "SIze" and the other one is called "Size on disk".
Therefore, I would like to know the size on disk but not just the size.

See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You could also try a reset as well.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How can I get Sender Display Name using Get-MessageTrackingLog?

Hi, could you please help me. We have got a monitoring system at work which monitors some devices, so if something wrong happening with these devices email is sent from MASTER email (Customer Name <[email protected]>) to us. I'm trying to get a list
of all emails of that monitoring mailbox using PoweShell command
Get-MessageTrackingLog and export them to CSV file. In the end of the day I need CSV file with 3 columns: TimeStamp, MessageSubject and SenderDisplayName! Yes, I need Sender Display Name cause all emails are sent from one MASTER email
(Customer Name <[email protected]>) and only difference between them is sender Display Name which is cexactly what I need.
This is the code I'm using:
Get-MessageTrackingLog -EventId Receive | Select Timestamp, MessageSubject, Sender | Export-CSV C:\NagiosAlerts.csv
–NoTypeInformation
So how can I get sender Display Name(Customer Name) using Get-MessageTrackingLog insted of Sender email (<[email protected]>)?

The DisplayName is not recorded in the Logs only the EmailAddresses are so there Is nothing you can do with Message Tracking to get this the way you want. You need to look at another property may soureIP or include something in the Subject
of the Email (eg a customerId in the Subject is a much better option) to give you some differentiation. Otherwise you need to access the Email directly from the Mailbox it was sent to and then extract the DisplayName from the message (or use a journaling
on those emails etc)

How do I get the file name?

I'm kind of new to javascript -- working with a colleague who has Adobe Acrobat Professional -- I've got an *old* version of Adobe Acrobat and most of the functions don't work -- but how do we get the file name -- we're trying to develop an application -- so if the user opens c:\something.pdf, we'd like to know the file name (something.pdf).
If we get a fully qualified path, that's fine -- I think I can parse it.
Thank you in advance.

The 'paty' property of the 'doc' object has been available since version 3.01.
Using the following in the JavaScript console when the Acobat JS API Refenece is open:
this.path;
returns:
this.path;
/C/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 8.0/Help/ENU/JS_api_reference.pdf

How do I get the directory name that a class is located in?

How do I get the directory name that a class is located in? I have a class located under /com/dhcmc and I want to be able to retrieve the "/com/dhcmc" that the class is residing under so that I can then use this directoy name to build a relative path name for the other directories supporting the application such as the images directory etc i.e.
|---com
|   \---dhcmc       (my class resides here)
|       +---images (supporting app dirs under the class dir)
|       +---config (supporting app dirs under the class dir)

You can try the methods.
Class.getClassLoader()
Class.getResourceAsStream()
Class.getResource()
You probably wont get the complete directory path, but you might
be able to load the files relative to your classes directory.

How do I get the procedure name

Hi,
With help of our application we are updating one table (P_Balance) in this account status and date through some procedures.
in some situation only account status column get proper value, but date column having NULL value.
Now we decided to track this, through which procedure this date column get updated null value.
For this I decided to write one trigger for the table "P_BALANCE" through which procedure this update is happening.
How do I get the procedure name.

You could use DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK and do it. Something like this.
SQL> create table track_call_stack
2 (
3     program_name varchar2(30),
4     call_stack varchar2(4000)
5 );
Table created.
SQL> create table t
2 (
3    no integer
4 );
Table created.
SQL> create or replace trigger t_trig before insert on t for each row
2 begin
3    if :new.no is null then
4       insert into track_call_stack
5       (
6          program_name,
7          call_stack
8       )
9       values
10       (
11          'T_TRIG',
12          dbms_utility.format_call_stack
13       );
14    end if;
15 end;
16 /

C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?

C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?
Say I have a filepath=/mnt1/file1
Using some OS API like stat, can I get the Filesystem /mnt ?
Thanks in advance,
-V

Enter the command up to the point of entering the file path and add a space, then drag the file into the terminal window. It will fill out the path.
If you need to go further into the contents of the Application package, you can continue with /Contents...
Another way is to start typing and then hit Tab to auto-complete. It will stop where it can't determine the next letter.
So, type /App tab and it will fill in /Applications. Type a / and start with the name of the app, then tab and it should complete. Continue till you have the correct path.
Spaces will be replaced with \<space>, so, App Store would end up as /Applications/App\ Store.app
