Sysctl.conf - best way to start at boot?

Hi all! 
My arch box serves as firewall/router to other boxes on my home network. Obviously, I have to use NAT and net.ipv4 forwarding set to 1 (via sysctl.conf file).
My question is: what's the best way to start sysctl at boot, so those kernel variables are set (forwarding, syncookies etc.)?
Currently, I've:
- put my little script with "sysctl -p" line in rc.d directory;
- call that script from rc.conf;
- sysctl.conf is in /etc .
It works... but, I wander what is the better/proper way of doing it.

Thanks aCoder.
With some other distros, it would be done automatically (sysctl at boot). User just needs to set values of the sysctl.conf file.
With Arch, both steps are manual - and I didn't know any better way. In other hand, that's what Arch is about, eh!
Cheers,
mladen

  • What's the best way to clone my boot drive?

    I just bought a new 500GB drive for my G4. What's the best way to clone my boot drive?
    Is there a way to put the new drive on the buss as a second drive and then copy everything from my boot drive to the new drive? How do I make the new drive bootable?
    Or
    Do I have to install OSX on the new drive, put the old boot drive on the buss as a second drive and migrate everything to the new drive with the Utilities Migration Assitant program?
    Are there programs available to make this easier? Where & how much?
    Thanks for any help I can get.

    bamim2:
    Dr. Smoke's FAQ Backup and Recovery has excellent advice on developing a backup strategy.
    You already have a larger extrnal HDD (Hopefully it is firewire?) The next step is to format and partition the HDD. (see step-by-step below). And thirdly you will need a good cloning utility. Carbon Copy Cloner has already been suggested, and the latest version is excellent. I, personally, prefer SuperDuper for its ease of use and efficiency. Both are great tools and relatively simple to use.
    I mentioned the hope that you have a firewire. One of the wonderful benefits of using an external firewire HDD for backing up is that you can make a bootable clone. This gives you an emergency boot drive in case of a problem. It also gives you an external device for running diagnostics and repairs from the extnernal to the computer and vice-versa.
    Congratulations on taking the first step toward securing your computer and your data!

  • Best way to start a new catalog for 2009 ?

    Hi,
    What's the best way to start a new catalog for the new year, with all the keywords and all the presets of the modules (without having to export all the folders) of previous catalog 2008 ?
    Thanks,
    Dominique

    Well there is a cost too in not being able to find all your images in a single step, and inconsistencies soon develop - eg a keyword is plural in one catalogue, singular in another. Speed or stability issues are not simply related to catalogue size, and I've seen decently-performing catalogues 50% bigger than yours (as well as slow ones of a few hundred images). Have you optimized the catalogue recently?
    But if you think it's a good idea to fragment control of your picture collection.... Presets will be carried over to a new catalogue as they belong to the machine (unless you have the save with catalogue preference turned on). Keywords can be moved via the Metadata > Export and Import Keywords command. If you have lots of collections and smart collections, then maybe make a copy of your existing catalogue and then remove all the items from it - making sure you don't trash them of course.

  • Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g  DBA

    Hi.This is Tejaswi.
    I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
    Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......

    Hello Tejaswi,
    The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
    I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:
    Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition
    By Jonathan Gennick
    Publisher : O'Reilly
    ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
    To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
    Oracle SQL by Example
    By Alice Rischert
    Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
    If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.
    HTH,
    John.

  • Please suggest me the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.

    Hi,
    I have started reading about Oracle Procurement. I have an over all idea of how ERP functions. Anyhow I am like a fresher to ORACLE APPS. Can you pleasesuggest me what is the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.
    Is it is throuhg user guides or some thing else..... can you please specify the references also.......
    Thank you so much.

    If you have a sponsorship, I would recommend taking classes with Oracle University. The other resources are documentation, functional and technical depending on what your interests are.
    If you can load Vision database or access vision database (I think solutionbeacon offers a free account to login and play around), that will be another resource as well.
    As you learn, join as much user groups like this one, and review all questions and answers in the discussions to understand and learn more.
    Hope this helps.

  • Migrated new MBPro = slow . Best way to start again without same problem

    Hi
    I bought a Macbook Pro and on bootup I put my old powerbook with all my data into firewire mode and just migrated things across.
    I have been very disappointed with the MBPro speed and have tried to clean it up a bit as I am assuming that Migrating things across has caused this slowness.
    I am wanting to do a fresh install but need to get the critical things across
    these include my Photo Library in iPhoto and My emails and my iTunes library and my address book. and bookmarks.
    I will start from scratch with all the extra applications I have
    So when I reinstall what is the best way to achieve this ?
    I dont have .Mac accounts but I do have an external firewire hard drive.
    To explain where the system is slow it is mainly on boot up and loading for the first time. I checked what was running and everything loaded is a UB so PPC stuff using Rossetta. The spec on the MBPro is standard with the 160gb drive. The powerbook is a 1.5ghz with and upgraded 7200 rpm drive. So I also assume that the PBook drive is a fraction faster but as everything else is way faster in the MBPro I would of though that this would still make the MBPro at least as fast to boot and load things.
    It is not alot slower just a fraction but it is noticable. Once loaded the system seems fine and any cpu intensive stuff is way way faster
    Thanks

    slow startup could be a sign of directory damage, as normal part of the boot process is doing a directory check. booting up on the intel should be much faster, not the other way around. have you tried booting to the install disk and running disk repair?? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 that may be all that is needed to get the boot faster. as well, do you have anything hooked up to the mbpro during startup?? that could also be a factor. as well, if you have not done firmware updates for the mbpro, you should do that as well. this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303880 gives up-to-date firmware versions and how to locate them on your mac. from what i gather there are limits in sharing one fw drive between a power pc and intel mac. see this thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2950422&#2950422 here is the macosx hints discussion on creating a volume bootable by both types of computers. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060322054212363&query=firewire%2B drive%2Bintel however, you would have to have the space available on the drive, and the inclination to put two different versions (one power pc, one intel!) of the os on one drive, so both volumes are bootable, one with each computer.

  • Best Way to Configure Multi-boot System With GRUB/GRUB2

    Hello again,
    Sorry for posting so much, but I'm really enjoying Arch so far! I had been reading a lot about Cinnamon so I wanted to try it (without installing the dependencies on my Arch installation), so I decided to install Mint, that went fine, and then I was hoping to add the entry to GRUB. I couldn't figure out how to do this, so I decided to try and install GRUB2 because it can autodetect other OS'. Well it didn't work and then I found myself without a bootloader. I couldn't figure out how to reinstall grub to the MBR (I tried the solution in the wiki and a couple of other places). I decided to reinstall Mint, and now I am booting into Arch through Mint's GRUB2. Two questions:
    1) How can I fix grub through Arch to have that as my bootloader again? Nothing seems to work that I've tried.
    2) What is the best way to configure grub or grub2 from Arch to allow myself options to multiboot other OS's in the future? I want to learn as much about UNIX as possible so I was planning on installing some other Linux distros and some other non-Linux UNIX OS's. I know this is a really newbie question, but I'm at a loss, I thought it was easier than it turned out.
    PS. I didn't really like Cinnamon that much. I've been using Xfce and Openbox since I started using Linux (about a month ago), and it just seems too complicated! I don't like how little options you are given for customization. But that's just my opinion, everyone is different, I can see how it would be an improvement over GNOME3.
    Thank You!

    I have Arch Linux and Debian Testing installed side by side on my laptop.
    Arch uses Grub (legacy) and Debian uses Grub2. The way I have set it up is to have Arch's Grub on the MBR and then chainload Debian's Grub2 from there.
    Debian's Grub2 is installed on its own partition rather than on the MBR
    This is the line I use to chainload Grub2 from Grub (legacy)
    # (4) Debian chainload
    title Debian chainload
    root (hdX,X)
    chainloader +1
    Additionally just for kicks, I also have an entry in Grub2 to get back to Grub.
    menuentry "Arch Linux chainload" {
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root='(hd0)'
    chainloader +1
    boot
    Note that the (hd0) above always points to the MBR.
    I do not have to bother with one bootloader interfering with the other and the OS entries on each are handled separately on their own.
    This setup has worked well for me for quite a while now. Before I started with Arch, I used a similar setup when I tried out various distros (Fedora,opensuse,etc.) alongside Ubuntu
    Hope it helps !

  • The best way to start with JDeveloper

    Can anybody tell me what the best way is to start using JDeveloper? Besides Oracle Manuals, are there other ones? Thanks for responding!!

    It would be nice if you can specify what is your background. Which tools/languages you used before?
    If you don't know Java pick up a Java book that will teach you the basics and the syntax.
    A good free online book is : http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIJ/
    Then use JDeveloper to do the code samples in the book.
    Use this tutorial to understand the basic of the JDeveloper IDE:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/10131/introide/introjdevide.htm
    Then once you got the basics you should probably try out the ADF tutorial to see how you build a complete Web application that interacts with a database:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html
    This page also contains the ADF Developer Guide book.
    In addition the JDeveloper home page has links to more demos tutorials and how-to's:

  • What is the best way to start "fresh" with iPhoto '08?

    I am running iPhoto '08 on a mid-2007 iMac. When I set up the machine, I moved all the photos from my PC to the Mac retaining the existing directory structure that I had on the PC. I then imported all the pictures into iPhoto with no problems.
    Unfortunately, the other person who uses the Mac needs to be able to use the directory structure as it existed on the PC (that structure involves several subfolders with specific names etc.), and it appears that iPhoto is not designed to work that way. I know the photos can still be manipulated in the folders I imported, but then I run the risk of at best, being out of synch with iPhoto and at worst, corrupting iPhoto completely.
    That said, what I would like to do is delete or remove the current iPhoto library (or whatever iPhoto accesses; not the whole application unless necessary) and then selectively import photos to iPhoto. That way, the other user can access the photos in the familiar folder structure and manipulate them at will without disturbing the iPhoto db and, once photos are edited etc. and ready for primetime, they can be imported to iPhoto to gain the advantages of displaying using Front Row etc.
    My question is what is the best way to achieve what I am looking for? Just backup then delete the iPhoto pkg file in the HD/Library/Receipts folder? Uninstall the entire application and start over?
    All assistance greatly appreciated.

    ETRA
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    You don't need to re-install iPhoto, just change the library - and you may not even need to do that.
    1. You can easily recreate your Directory structure in iPhoto. Simply start at the bottom of your structure and drag a folder of images to the Source (or left hand) pane of the iPhoto Window. iPhoto will create an Album of the same name. The create your enclosing folders (File -> New Folder) and drag the albums to it. This way you can quickly recreate what you have/
    2. The other user of the files can access them directly via the iPhoto Window or a Media Browser such as THIS. The advantage of this system is that your directory structure is available to them ina convenient and recognisable way. They can then drag the pics from the iPhoto Window / Media Browser to the app they as the need. (A whole lot faster than fumbling around in Folder after Folder etc, plus the advantage of keyword searching.)
    3. Is this necessary for working with an editor? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. Btw this is the only way that edits made in iPhoto will be visible in iPhoto.
    4. Finally, if you do wish to go as you described: Simply trash the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder. Start iPhoto and it will create an new empty library. If you wish to recover the files from the Library first, then Right Click on the iPhoto Library and go 'Show Package Contents'. Your files are in the Originals Folder.

  • What is the best way to start SAPGUI in a specific transaction

    Hello,
    What I'm trying to do is to run a Java program that will start SAPGUI (in windows format, not HTML) and present the user with a specific transaction with some data already inserted.
    I already managed to start the SAPGUI and I know how to fill in data using the SapJCo but my question is: what is the best way to navigate to a specific transaction? I can activate an RFC of BAPI_CALL_TRANSACTION but it seems like a big overhead. so, can any of you tell me what is the best way activate a specific transaction in SAPGUI using JCo?
    Thanks,
    Uri Lifshitz.

      JCO are mostly used to executed a RFM on the Destination.
      I don't think we could call a Transaction using JCO.
    Thanks

  • What's the best way to start this dashboard?

    I have a data set of titles, gender, race, and disability.
    I would like to create a dashboard that will be visually appealing to the end user that relies on this information.
    What would be the best way to visually represent the gender, race, and disability for each title?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Zack H.

    Hi Zack
    Start with a blank piece of paper and draw out what you think will look ok in terms of the relationships between the data sets you have and a basic structure on areas for controls and areas for visualisations.   Then create this mock up using tables/charts etc.  Try to select charts which fit the data you have, see [here|http://media.juiceanalytics.com/downloads/graphselectionmatrix_sfew.pdf]
    Take it to your user group and discuss, and enjoy the many iterations that follow

  • Best way to start on capture with no timecode?

    To my dismay, I quickly discovered that my cam didn't have its timecode set correctly. Therefore, when I captured, I got a HUGE continuous clip.
    1. What is the best way to work with this mammoth clip? I'd love to be able to quickly and manually cut each scene change into separate clips, the way auto detect would have done, so it's more manageable. But if not, how should I start to manage the clip? I'm a former PC Pinnacle Studio amateur, so be gentle.
    2. I tried adding a fade in on the front of the clip, and I can't lengthen it from 1/10 second, even if I try to drag over the right side. How do I make it X seconds?
    Thanks, FCE community!

    You can still make suclips if you like. Search for start/stop points manually or just break it up to say 5 minute intervals. eg:
    Move the playhead in the Viewer 5 minutes in, hit the M key. Move the playhead another 5 mins, hit the M key and so on. You end up with a bunch of markers manually placed instead of the auto DV detection style, same deal.
    Modify>Make Subclips using the method as already discussed then work with the subbies.
    Due to FCE being non-destructive you can also put the one large clip in the Viewer.
    Set an in/out point, then edit to the Timeline. Only the bit between the in/out point is edited into the Timeline.
    Go back to the Viewer, set a new in/out point then edit to the Timeline on so on.
    This method allows for handles so transitions will work OK. Using the subclip method you will need to set in/out points to each subclip if you wish to have transitions with them.
    Personally, I'd use the later method.

  • E2500 / EA2500 Problems - best way to start over?

    Hi,
    I installed the E2500 software and I thought everything was working except I couldn't access other devices (i.e., if I was on my laptop, I couldn't view the folders on my desktop). Then I realized that besides my secured connection, I also had an unsecure connection (a generically named one called "linksys"). Also, after installation I went out and got an AE2500 adapter for my desktop since its wireless LAN is 802.11b/g instead of 802.11n (which if I understand correctly has better security).
    Anyway, due to the issues I'm having and I think I may have missed something in setting everything up (I found a helpful video just a little while ago), I'd like to start over. What's the best way to do that? Can I just uninstall Cisco Connect on my desktop and laptop? or would it be better to use a restore point to go back?
    Thanks for any advice and help.

    I already tried this before with E series model. Just reset the router and you can download the latest Cisco connect v1.4 software here. That will just set up everything for you and will update the router if needed.

  • Best way to upgrade internal boot drive

    Hi all, I have a G4 dual 1gig with the standard 76 gig internal drive and Lacie 250gig external for my I Tunes library, photos, and video editing.
    The internal drive is showing 33 out of 76 gig available. I know that ideally you should not have your boot drive filled more than 50%. My question is should I add another internal drive? Or get a bigger drive to use for the boot up?
    How do I tell my Mac to recognize or use another drive for boot up purposes?
    I'm relatively green at playing with start up preferences.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Hi, Ed!
    You still have sufficient space on your startup drive to operate efficiently, unless you're working with two-hour video projects right on the startup drive, which can eat up over 30GB...
    You can easily add additional ATA hard drives of any size to an MDD Mac. You can have up to four total. Shop around online for a large ATA drive and you'll find some good deals, especially when coupled with a rebate. The mass merchants like CompUSA, Best Buy, Circuit City, Tiger Direct, Fry's (outpost.com), Newegg, etc. have sales that generally change weekly. You want an ATA drive for hooking up natively to your logic board bus. (A SATA drive requires the addition of a controller card.) For shopping purposes, don't let terms like ATA,PATA, IDE, EIDE, Ultra ATA-133, or Ultra ATA-100 confuse you - consider them all interchangeable terms for buying a new drive. Just don't mistakenly get a SATA or SCSI drive.
    I'd look for a 3.5" drive that runs at 7200 RPM and has an 8MB or 16MB buffer, as opposed to a 2MB buffer, which is slower. The four major brands are Seagate, Maxtor, Western Digital, and Hitachi, any of which should serve you well.
    When you get the drive, set it to Cable Select (for an MDD or later Mac) and connect it to the second bus on your logic board, attaching it to the end connector of the ribbon cable. You might first check to insure that your current drive is now set to Cable Select, which is the standard setting which it was to have originally been set when it shipped from Apple.
    After installation, reset PRAM and boot normally to your startup drive, launch Disk Utility, and initialize (fancy word for initial formatting) the drive using Mac OS Extended as the format. I'd recommend checking the box to install the OS 9 drivers even if you don't intend to use OS 9. You might also consider using the option to overwrite zeros to the drive when you first format it, which will map out any bad sectors which may be present and preclude their future use. This option takes a few hours, but is good insurance against potential data corruption.
    After formatting, the drive icon will appear on your desktop along with your startup drive (just like the external one does when mounted).
    If you load an OS on a second drive, you have a choice of drives to boot from. You can easily select or change the default startup volume by selecting it in the Startup pane of System Preferences. Alternately, you can boot to the Startup Manager by holding down the option key at startup, selecting and and booting to the non-default volume.
    You can clone your startup volume to another drive volume by using Disk Utility's Restore option, or better yet by using a third-party shareware utility like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper!, which most folks seem to prefer.
