How often should you do the maintenace cron scripts??

Hi all,

thanks...
Johnny

macuserguy,
You may find Dr. Smoke's excellent FAQ about Running the Mac OS X maintenance scripts helpful.
The FAQ suggests approximately weekly basis (especially if your Mac is shutdown or in sleep mode overnight) though perhaps more frequently if you have a smaller HD as these log files can take up alot of room.
Hope that helps some,

How long should you use the Macbook is the fan is at Max?

Hey all, the reason i ask is because sometimes when i visit a site with embedded video the CPU rises and heats up so the fan goes up to max. How long should you keep there with out damaging anything? Sometimes the videos are 45 mins, there tv shows and by 5th min is heated up and i dont want to keep it running for the rest of the 45 mins and wreck somthing. Whats the max time for that?

Not really an answer but I was wondering where your computer is located or how you are using it? My kids were putting a quilted blanket on their lap and then running their notebook on top of the blanket. The blanket had a terrible insulating affect on the computer. And to make matters worse, sometimes the blanket would block the fan exhaust! I had to scold them and teach them to put something else on the blanket over their lap, like a book, and then put the notebook on the book. That really stopped the fan from running a lot.
It's just something to be aware of. The MB will run cooler if there is space all around it.

How often should I condition the Raid?

Can someone help me understand what this does and how often should it be done.
Why wasn't an automated feature added to do this periodically?
Can bad things happen when you condition an array?
Thanks,
Jorge

FWIW I have never conditioned any of my arrays, and I have 16 of them, all of which have been running 24/7 since they day they were each installed. I've never even thought about doing it.

As often or as rarely as you like.

How often do you use the List bar to Navigate

Hi Ppl,
I'm trying to build a custom sequence editor. In the Sequence Editor while the executions are run the sequence file view tab is open. So most of the time I use the tab's to navigate between sequence view and execution view. However in the full featured UI the sequence view is not visible while executing. So we have to navigate using the list bar.
I wanted to know will it be better to implement the way sequence editor displays the sequence view while executing. I can use a combo box to navigate to various sequence files and executions within the respective views. How often you guys use the list bar to navigate ?
Thanks

Of course I have no idea what "isn't so great" means. Relative to what?
Is it worse than the current user search?
Is it better that the current user search but not as improved as the new forum search?
Is it just different?
Are the user search results better, but the interface is harder to use?
One thing could be improved. There should be a way to sort partial matches by the number of posts so inactive members don't clutter the first dozen pages of the search result. For example, if I search for "Dennis", I want him on top of that huge list. (many, many pages!)
If I search for "Dennis K" I still want partial matches, but currently there is no result if I do that. (Why does "Dennis" return many matches while "Dennis K" returns nothing (!!?), and "Dennis Knutson" again works????)
To answer your questions as best I can, the new user search is just different. The way that it presents information is different (you can check out Lithium's community to see what I mean). When I do a search, the user I expect to show up first does not necessarily show up first - in that way, it's about the same as your Dennis example. I think the current search works better for me because as an Admin I get the ability to search more fields.
On the plus side, you get the option to sort the user results by Login name (alphabetically), rank, posts, or registration date, all which could help you with finding Dennis.
So to summarize, I think the actual results will be similar with some added sort functionality. The user interface is very different, in more of a grid view as opposed to a list. I don't know that I would classify it as better or worse. That's a great wishy-washy answer, right?
Thanks,
Laura

How often are you using the Internet on the iPhone?

I was wondering how often you guys are using the Internet on the iPhone?
Do you guys enjoy using the the Internet on it?
Also, do you like the keyboard on it?
Just letting you know that I am typing this on my iPhone!!
Sam

I flew from PDX to DAB today browsing the internet both via wi fi (fast) and Edge (slow, but usable) at various airports and other locations. This browser is the best! I do not have to take a laptop with me anymore. The re size feature is the key, all phone browsers will have this in the future.
Its been years since I was excited about anything in the tech world (and I own a Software company) but I gotta hand it to Apple they really did a job with the iPhone.

How often should I recharge the batte

I'm disappointed with the fact that every single thing you do with the Nomad Xtra seems to cause extra drain on the battery - change the volume, change the track, use or disable EAX, and so on. Be that as it may...
Is it okay to recharge the battery every day, no matter how much "juice" is left in it's Some say yes, some say wait till there's one bar left, some say wait until it's completely drained.
By the way, I returned the 40GB Nomad Xtra, the battery question being one of the reasons. I currently have a GB flash player, but I might return that (the controls are weird and difficult to use), and I might get another Nomad Xtra instead (ironically, the removable battery was the final selling point in convincing me to go Creative the first time around). If I do go back to the Nomad Xtra, I want to be a more informed consumer.

What I plan to do is let the battery drain, or at least wait until there's only one bar in the battery indicator. The second or third time that happens, I'm going to start making it a habit of re-charging the battery on a pretty much daily basis. How does that sound, is that okay?
Really the 2 or 3 charges at the beginning aren't even necessary. When you get the player, the first thing to do is charge it fully. After that it is better for the battery life to shallow charge. I wouldn't worry too much though about how you charge the battery, unless it's really important to you.
I do have one concern, however... when I start re-charging the battery every day I plan to let it re-charge overnight. On the surface, that seems to go against the advice given on page C-6 in the User's Guide, in the "FAQs and Troubleshooting" section:
<EM>"Should I leave my player plugged into the AC adapter?</EM>
<EM>"No, you should not. After charging the battery or using the player, disconnect it from the AC power adapter. Leaving it plugged in leads to heat buildup, which is not good for the player or the battery."</EM>
Any advice, comments or whatever?
It's just some incorrect comments in the manual. Any charging battery will generate a little heat. The Lithium Ion batteries that the Xtra uses don't generate much heat, and once the charge has finished the charging circuit turns off. Therefore no heat buildup will occur, and the battery will not continue to charge.
The only issue is that if you leave a mains adapter plugged into the wall, the mains adapter itself will continue to use electricity whether it's plugged in to charge the Zen or not. So for the good of the environment and your electricity bill you might want to turn off the wall socket or remove the mains adapter from the wall.

How often should you power off Airport express?

Hi there, I just got an AirPort express, and its working great.
However, I did notice that it gets pretty warm after a while, is it necessary to unplug it when you're not using it, or at night?

I have two Expresses set up in a WDS and they stay on continuously. Other than the occasional restart every three months or so, I haven't had a bit of trouble.

Do you have to update adobe weekly. or how often should you update it? OR does it update automatically? Thanks

I just got Adobe and wondered if it updates itself or do I have to remember to do it?

You can set your update preferences [Edit | Preferences | Updates].

How often should the SMP server get restarted? Cockpit message "Restart Required!"

How often should I restart the SAP Mobile Platform server? I have received a message in the SMP Management Cockpit that states "Restart Required!".

Hi Darrel,
Batish is right there is no need to restart server unless you change specific settings that need a restart. Ex. cache settings. You can find an "i" symbol next to these fields which need a restart if you change these values.
Also server restart is needed if you change any config files ex. admin-role-mapping.xml.
Are you able to reproduce this issue. Could you give a screen shot of this issue. What is the version of server?

How often do you turn off iphone and iPad?

How often should you turn off (power down) your iphone and ipad?
For that matter, how often should you shut down your imac?
I've been getting conflicting answers...

For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

How often should the Cisco 6509 and 3750 switches be rebooted? Does Cisco have a best practice recommendation?

How often should the 6509's and 3750's switches be rebooted?
Does Cisco have a best practice document on this and recommendation how long the switch should be up before it gets rebooted?
Why is a reboot needed if there are no indications of issues on the log?

I'd agree with Larry here.
If you're not seeing any issues with your IOS revision and there are no relevant PSIRTs (security notices applicalble to features and or exposure of your device requiring an IOS upgrade) then you can go a very long time without rebooting, if ever.
I'm sure it's far from a record, but our corporate distribution router that supports >1000 downstream devices day in and day out has never been rebooted since installation just over 5 years ago. I have a top of rack Layer 2 switch (2900 series running CatOS) that's almost at 10 years.
That said, you should have some monitoring scheme that assures you everything is healthy. But as long as memory and cpu are happy, the device will run forever.

Do you know where is the rules of engagement ? How often do you read It ?

Hi,
Do you know where is the [rules of engagement|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/FgQ] ?
Many people know exactaly where it is, but i noted that major of SCN never read this document.
Today i noted this document link in:
Left box menu in [Community Guidelines|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/communityguidelines] on the folowing pages: [Forum|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forums] , [Wiki|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki] and [Blogs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs].
[Expert Forums|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1]
Some Forum has a locked thread like [Welcome and Rules of Engagement|Welcome and Rules of Engagement;
There people that never saw this document before. Others already saw but they never read( this is other problem ).
The SCN is a dinamyc community so the rule can be changed at any moment. How often do you check it for updatings ? We know that the general rule probably won't be changed but new rules can be added !
Wouldn't It be a good idea if this document link stay in All Threads next to link Reply to this Thread or in any place of this page ?
Thanks,

Hi Marilyn,
Please tell me if I'm wrong but when I see new SCN member or someone that doesn't respect the community's rules I add the one of the following phrase:
"Welcome to SDN Forum. Don't forget to read the [rules of engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] !" As the follow [thread|Program with Top includes;.
"Don't forget to close this thread and all yours previous when your question be answered !" As the follow [thread|ABAP or MII;.
"Lets make the SDN better we are responsible for this !" As the follow [thread|want to upgrade GUI to ECC 6.0.;.
"PS.: Others SDN member can use your question resolve their problems, so is important you don't forget to mark this Thread as answered when your question be answered !" As the follow [thread|SAP ECC 6.0 GUI;
I noted that it's working for some people ! mainly for New SCN members !
