Time frame of partial protection

I've been running this peerless operating system for 12 years. I use my computer, almost exclusively, for my itunes account, word processing, and small bits and bats. I don't net surf. Will I remain reasonably protected, and for how long?
Many thanks in advance, for your best response.
Steve

Hi Steve,
This is a hard question to answer so I will answer it based on what I would do:
XP updates will stop very soon, this essentially means that your computer will no longer receive automatic Windows updates. It does not mean that the computer will become insecure overnight, more that Microsoft will cease providing security patches for the
OS.
If you are like me and have some XP machines, and maintain proper security procedures such as a firewall, and an up to date anti-virus package, and avoid web browsing then your machine should be reasonably fine for now.
The only thing that remains uncertain is if a vulnerability is found in XP at some point in the future. It is a risk but not something I loose sleep over personally.
I would recommend that you keep internet facing applications to a minimum and even go as far as to only allow the likes of itunes pass-thru in the firewall settings.
Also keep in mind that not surfing the net does not mean that you are immune from security issues and exploits. Something as simple as running a program from a USB drive, hard drive or network share with an impacted file can also pass on an exploit.
Also simple things like not choosing to "remember passwords" all help in the event of your OS becoming compromised.
For everyday browsing I would strongly recommend you have another PC running Windows 7 or higher.

M

After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...

Hi 1283ar.
Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later.

How can I execute a command every 10 seconds in a specific time-frame

Hello,
I would like to create a script which in a specific time-frame collects some outputs and also pings every 10 seconds.
To collect the outputs every minute from 22:00PM to 22:10PM I have the following:
event manager applet snmp_output
event timer cron cron-entry "0-10/1 22 * * *" maxrun 30
action 010 cli command "enable"
action 020 cli command "show clock"
action 030 cli command "terminal exec prompt timestamp"
action 040 cli command "show snmp stats oid | append bootdisk:show_snmp_stats_oid.txt "
action 045 wait 5
action 050 cli command "show snmp pending | append bootdisk:show_snmp_pending.txt "
action 055 wait 5
action 060 cli command "show snmp sessions | append bootdisk:show_snmp_sessions.txt "
acionn 065 wait 5
action 070 cli command "end"
To confirm connectivity to the device doing the SNMP polls I would like to execute a ping every 10 seconds in the same timeframe.
Cron seems only to support minutes. Is it possible to combine a watchdog timer + a cron timer?
Can this ping function be incorporated in the SNMP output applet or will I have to write a new one?
Will I need TCL here (I have no experience in TCL)?
Best regards,
Tim

If you wanted the pings to run in parallel, you could have this applet configure another applet to do the pinging, then remove it on the last run. This will require an amount of programmatic logic, though. If you wanted to keep things a bit simpler, add another applet that runs at 22:00 that configures a watchdog pinging applet, then a third applet that runs at 22:10 that removes the pinging applet.
When it comes to embedded quotes when you configure your nested pinging applet, you'll need to use $q to stand for the embedded quotes. You'll also need to configure:
event manager environment q "

Manuals users should not be able to submit a concurrent program at a specific time frame:

Hi
Please let me know is it possible to restrict some users to submit a Concurrent program during a selected time frame .
Eg we have an issue in which Process Lockboxes concurrent Program is submitted by the batch user and is also by the Users manually from Front end .What I want is that during a particular time frame everyday say from 12:00 AM to 6 PM I want to restrict manual users to submit this program ,whereas the Program can be submitted by the Batch user any time .
Please let me if its possible to achieve this and how .
Thanks

FTP Adapter restrict polling frequency active time frame in a day

Hi All,
Is there anyway I can restrict FTP adapter polling frequency to be active during a particular time frame of the day. Say, my service should poll the incoming location for Sales order data for every hour during business hours of the day.
Thanks,

CSM ret-code time-frame

A company I work for has a number of CSM modules (WS-X6066-SLB-APC) installed in 6513 chasis switches. The CSM modules are running version
4.2(14)
These CSM modules are configured to load-balance a number of vservers via serverfarms, each serverfarm containing multiple real servers.
Here is some example configuration:
vserver SITE
virtual 10.1.2.3 tcp www
serverfarm SERVERFARM
persistent rebalance
inservice
serverfarm SERVERFARM
nat server
no nat client
predictor leastconns
failaction reassign
retcode-map RETCODE-MAP
real 10.2.3.4
inservice
real 10.2.3.5
inservice
map RETCODE-MAP retcode
match protocol http retcode 503 503 action remove 5 reset 300
The company is facing a problem with what seems to be related to return code checking. Every once in a while a server will suddenly not receive any traffic for 5 minutes. This always occurs right after the server has sent a HTTP 503 return code. However we cannot see in the CSM logs that the CSM module has actually disabled the real server. For other serverfarms which are running regular HTTP and/or ICMP health checks to real servers we can clearly see in the CSM logs when a real server has been temporarily disabled due to health check failures.
The return code checking is set to disable a real server for 300 seconds after the CSM has received five HTTP 503 responses from the real server. If we check the real server log however we cannot find more than that single 503 return code right before the server stops seeing any incoming traffic unless we move back at least hours in time.
I have tried to figure out what time frame those 5 return codes must be received within for them to count towards the maximum allowed return codes, but nowhere in no documentation can I find any information about this time frame.
For all I know the CSM could keep track of every incoming 503 forever, until the maximum of five 503's is reached, and then the server is disabled for 300 seconds.
Does anyone have any information about the time frame within which those return codes must be received by the CSM to count toward the maximum configured number of return codes before the configured action is taken?

Hi Christopher
EDIT: It might actually be me who misunderstood your reply. You probably gave me the correct answer already, that there is no time limit at all to the counter, and the counter will increase until it reaches 5 even if those 503's are spread out over several months time. Could you please confirm that this is what you meant? I'll leave my original reply down below for you to look at.
ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
Thanks for your reply, but I think you might have misunderstood my question, and I don't exactly blame you because I had some difficulty explaining what I meant.
I know what each and every key word in the following line mean, and I understand the command.
match protocol http retcode 503 503 action remove 5 reset 300
We match the protocol http, and look for when/if the server sends a return code 503 back to a client. Each time a 503 return code is returned from the real server a counter is increased by one. When the counter reaches 5 we take the action to remove (disable) the server. 300 seconds after the server was disabled it will be enabled again, and the counter will also be reset to zero at this point.
But I'm asking about the time frame for the counter, or rather if there is a default timer that resets the counter back to zero after a certain amount of time. Let me give you an example.
I enable return code checking for HTTP 503 and configure it to disable a server after five HTTP 503's have been seen by the CSM
1 minute later the server sends three HTTP 503 messages to a client. Now the return code check counter is at 3. This is where the "time frame" that I speak of begins.
Another 6 minutes later the server sends one HTTP 503 message to a client. The time frame within wich the CSM has seen HTTP 503's is now 6 minutes, so the CSM has seen four different HTTP 503's within 6 minutes. The counter would now be at 4.
5 months later the server sends a fifth HTTP 503 message to a client. The time frame is now five months and six minutes. Will this fifth HTTP 503 message increase the return code check counter to 5? If it does, then the server will be disabled for 300 seconds, even though it was 5 months since the previous four 503's were seen by the CSM.
What I'm wondering is basically if there is a limited time frame (like a sliding window) after which the return code check counter is reset back to zero? I cannot find any information about this, and as far as I can see there is no command I can use to see what the return code counter is currently at either, so I cannot manually verify this.
It would have made sense if the feature worked like this instead, and I'm still hoping that someone can provide documentation that says this is the way it is supposed to work (because if the above example is true, then the feature is broken and useless)
I enable return code checking for HTTP 503 and configure it to disable a server after five HTTP 503's have been seen by the CSM
1 minute later the server sends three HTTP 503 messages to a client. Now the return code check counter is at 3. This is where the "time frame" that I speak of begins.
5 minutes later the counter is reset to zero, because no 503's have been seen for over five minutes.
2 months later the server sends a HTTP 503 message to a client. This increases the counter to one. The server is never disabled. After another 5 minutes the counter is reset back to zero again.
I hope that the above examples make it a bit clearer what I meant with my original question.

How do i set the time frame of a waveform chart programmatically to be a 30 sec window or a 24 hour window

i'm using LV7.0 and what i need to do is to be able to set the time frame or range of a waveform chart programmatically before i start taking and plotting data. sometimes this window needs to be 30s wide and sometimes it needs to be 24 hrs wide. (in the first reference, i need the chart to fill up with 30s of historical data then the whole chart scrolls with each new data point). the data acquisition records data at a rate of once per second. i've tried to use the chart properties of XScale.offset, XScale.Range.Minimum and XScale.Range.Maximum but no matter what i do the time-stamp on the x-axis is always "00:00:00 PM" and "MM/DD/YYYY" even though values are seen being plotted on the right side of the chart as expected.
Attachments:
BX0265 ShelfLife DAQmx.vi ‏120 KB

Okay, there seems to be some confusion here -- the X axis values are of type double, but they can be represented in the HH:MMS MMD:YYYY format if you want in which case it interprets the floating point as the number of seconds since 6pm Dec 31, 1903.
You can programmatically set this value using the XScale.Minimum and XScale.Maximum properties, but note that if you wire a waveform to the chart after setting these values the t0 parameter will override what you set using the property node for XScale.Minimum. If instead you leave the t0 parameter empty you can use the XScale.Offset property and wire the same value in that you wire to XScale.Minimum. Changing the amount you add to XScale.Minmum to obtain what you wire into XScale.Maximum will determine the time window size.

Any time frame for when we will be getting the Android 5.0 upgrade on the Verizon G3?Type your question

Any time frame for when we will be getting the Android 5.0 upgrade to the G3 on Verizon?

No one from Verizon can or will give you a timeline. They have no idea. Verizon can't even test 5.0 until they get it from LG first so perhaps you should be asking them.

Time frame for SAP implementation query

Hi guys,
I am a university student and am currently trying to collect some information for my paper on development of ERP systems in industrial companies, particularly SAP. I'm meant to do some field research, but it is proving to be rather difficult, which is why I wanted to ask for some help from people who have experience in the implementation of the SAP system.
What I'm looking for is the time frame that the SAP system takes to integrate into an industrial firm. Also, the scope of integration (ie how many and which modules were added on top of the core SAP system) and the number of users after the full implementation of the system.
I don't need the name of particular companies, as I understand that that may be disclosing too much corporate information, but it would really help me if someone could give me a realistic time frame of the implementation process for SAP.
Thank you, in advance!
Anya

Anya,
Update to your queries:
size of the company that this SAP implementation took place at:
Answer : In terms of revenue $200 million +
Interms of employees 6000+
HR module in particular - whether it can be fully implemented separately and how long would it take?
Answer:
Definately, it can be fully implemeted and other modules may not be used
Time period - 3+ months as Business packages are available in SAP.
Regards,
Ganga

Expecting a response within a specified time frame

Please can any write a small example for this threading concept.
I am very new to this.

Let suppose this is your communication dialog window:
call createTimer(int sleep) after you send a request to the server
class MyDialog extends JDialog implements ActionListener
    private javax.swing.Timer   m_timer    = null;
    public MyDialog(*********)
        super(*********);
        addActionListener(this);
    private void createTimer(int sleep)
        m_timer = new javax.swing.Timer(sleep, this);
        m_timer.setRepeats(false);
        m_timer.start();
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        if(e.getSource() == m_timer)
            // check your "response flag"
}lic void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
