Unix beginner...help

Hi
I am a beginner in unix.
echo `date` > ${MOD1}/test.out
what does the > ${MOD1}/test.out means.
sorry for silly question..beacuse i dont understand this in book
thanks
asp

It redirects the output from the command 'date' to
the file $(MOD1)/test.out.
MOD1 will be a variable in your shell script storing
a directory name.Thanks first of all..one more doubt..
is everything enclosed in {xxxx} this kind of brackets represents directory or something else.
thanks

Beginner help with splash of color in a black and white photo

Hi there. I just perchased the Photoshop Elements 7. I have a picture of my niece who has beautiful blue eyes and I want to make it black and white and them leave her eyes there beautiful blue?? Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to do this? I have search all over and the answers I can across where way to complex for my new beginner knowledge. Also I have another photo of the same niece with her prom dress on that I would like to leave her eye color alone and dress, but the rest in black and white. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. I am so lost with this program at the moment. Thank you so much!!

There are several ways to do it. One way which is really flexible is to add a Hue/Saturation layer over your image. Reduce the Saturation in this dialog to -100 to remove all of the color. Grab your paint brush and set the color to black. With the Hue/Saturation layer selected, paint over the eyes to reveal the color of her eyes.
A couple of tricks to go with this.
You can blur the mask to soften/feather the edges after you paint if needed.
If you need to firm up the edges, use levels on the mask...ctrl L.
If you want to mix your own black and white effect, you can use the drop down box in the Hue/Saturation dialog box to reduce each individual color channel's Saturation to -100 (instead of the master which effects the overall); then tune your effect by adjusting the individual color's lightness values. You can also adjust Hue values if desired.

Unix command help!

hey
     i could really use some help here! i just can't figure this out and full disclosure i'm a newbie when it comes to these things.
here is the unix command that i am issuing through ARD
osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "loginwindow"
key code 125
delay .5
key code 125
delay 1
keystroke return
delay 2
keystroke "2634"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
delay 2
tell application "Gaming Introduction 30m"
activate
end tell
EndOfMyScript
two problems:
1) the application "Gaming Introduction 30m" launches fine but it doesn't come to the front and the icon bounces in the dock instead of bringing the dialogue box that is supposed to pop up to the forefront. is this a "focus issue" or something of that nature?
2) the command never seems to finish in ARD, it never completes. it is like it is stuck on something. why doesn't the unix command finish in ARD when once the "Gaming Introduction 30m" has finished launching?
i would really appreicate any help, advice or hints!
thanks so much!
peace will

here is some additional info: here is the script code for the "Gaming Introduction 30m" application:

CALCULATOR DIALOG: Converting Result Field (beginner, help requested)

Hi,
I am a beginner in ABAP/4 programming.
I have been trying to create a calculator dialog.
However, one of the problems that i've run into is that my result field (shows the output numbers) is defined as type p decimals 5. Thus, if you enter 2, then 5, you get the following result --> 2.000005, with the the five not being shown,
Instead, i'd like the result to be 25.00000 and so on if adding any numbers(for example, if 4 was then added, the result would be 254.00000)
How would i change the code to make this possible?
You can view the source code below:

Assuming that result = 2 when you do this:
result_temp = result.
you get result_temp = '2.00000', not '2' as you might expect. Hence if you convert 2 and 5 from type P with 5 decimals to type C and then concatenate you get '2.000005.00000', not '25'. If you want to get '25' try converting type P into type I and then into C.
Also not sure what you are trying to achieve exactly but if you want to accept only integer numbers (such as 2 or 5) and to provide the result with decimals, simply define input variables as type I and only the result as type P.
Hope this helps.

Some Beginner Help

Im a beginner, whose just installed SDK ...Version 1.3_02
Some How , I cant my first Hello World Program to compile ....
It gives me one error that says "Cannot read app.java" where app.java is my program
after i perform c:\jdk1.3.0_2\bin\javac app.java
The Code reads as
public class app
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println("Hello World");
}Please Help !!!

thanks ...it worked ......!!!!!
No problem
but , however my prog doesn't run if java.exe is not
in the same folder ....
See a previous post about setting your system PATH (not classpath). Or see the installations instructions, #5 (I think).
i also set the classpath variable for that purpose
...but didn't help!Classpath WILL NOT HELP your system find java.exe. The PATH setting is what you need.

Hijacked mac-unix gurus, help me please!

This is a very weird situation, please bear with me:
My ibook and desktop g4 were running 1.3.9, the plain consumer version. Or so I thought.
But here is the weird part: after splitting with my ex, I found i had no root access on either of my macs - and no way to regain it.
1.there is a Security Agent installed
2.a Thawte security cerificate/ w key is in the ibook's keychain, the password encrypted and obviously news to me.
3.the ibook HD is locked.
3.Remote desktop agent, apparently running from ibook, controlling every aspect of the desktop.
4. crucial logs are either missing or encrypted.
To clarify, both machines are mine, but the ibook was used primarely by my ex, who claims to be computer illiterate.
Who also denies any knowledge of anything.
And now for the most bizarre part: the ARD, and network manager parts are hidden - the machines "look" ordinary.
The whole operation is camouflaged in the most mind boggling way. By sheer luck, I stumbled on the ibook's "other" interface - just enough to note that the menu is different, and there are weird java scripts all over the place that trigger actions in ways I never saw in Kansas:
example a: itunes extra library stashed in documents folder, which, when imported, added one mp3 file to itunes, but it was no tune - it's name: "connect to server".
example b: expander alias on the desktop - if clicked launches the classic- which runs without showing in the dock, and launches something else...
There are modifier keys involved, but i have no idea what they are - pressing the right ones gets you "in" (to OZ?), otherwise a bogus system preference is launched - I found the script that spells this out, AFTER I have seen it happen
So, there is a very sneaky system within the system, but also very protected:
Every time I wipe, zero all data etc, on a drive, after installing a brand new system....it then "rebuilds" itself to whatever it was before. Yup, complete with email addresses.
So there is apparently an invisible volume on all my drives, where there are munchkins that track and rebuild whatever I
"screw up" - most of all, tell the installer/disk util. how to "wipe".
After 3 weeks of no sleep and sifting through hundreds of pages of logs and scrambled files...I realized whatever is on these two machines is certainly not a case of someone trying to hide the **** surfing; furthermore, I took the plunge and installed a new HD on the ibook, in hope to get rid of it all. At first, the Panther would not install on the new drive - but after I removed the airport card and the extra memory - the installation was fine.
So, what in the world am I dealing with? Everyone I talk to says you can't hardwire any data into macs, but everything points to some doctored part.
True, the new drive does not have the secret volume with X-serve on it, but SOMETHING is still there -sorry, I sound like Aliens script, but i have been reading logs on the ibook and there are a lot of weird apps, jobs and actions trying to launch, then quitting when they don't find the mother ship, that is the server, ftp or whatever.
Please help me out.Until this, I knew nothing about java, and now i am in java ****.
I basically lost both my macs, and what's worse, my IP and my personal name have been whoring on the web, and I have no way of tracking the ftp sites, it's all encrypted.
The cops tell me no laws were broken because I lived with that person - who denies doing it, anyway.
I am supposed to believe there is a Trojan, or a hacker who made it through the password protected network, reformatted my drives, installed the server software, ARD manager, iChat
Agent, Security Agent, deleted all important installation logs, oh, and "upgraded" my ipod as well.
I have text files and many screen shots, if anyone is interested.
Thank you for having the patience to read through this rant.
ps: just to save some time: open firmware, single user, sudo, password reset - nothing works in that sneaky ****.
Thank you.

"But here is the weird part: after splitting with my ex, I found i had no root access on either of my macs - and no way to regain it."
Here's a question: have you gone in to NetInfo Utility confirmed that root is enabled under the Security menu?
"there is a Security Agent installed"
There is always a security agent installed. How do you think this security agent is messing with your system?
".a Thawte security cerificate/ w key is in the ibook's keychain, the password encrypted and obviously news to me."
That just means your ex surfed the web and bought something from a merchant who issued her a Thawte certificate. When that happens, OS X will offer (or perhaps automatically) store it in the user's keychain.
"The ibook HD is locked."
What do you mean by that? you should not be able to copy files to system directories or other user's directories. without first gaining administrative access. Do you have an admin level user account? Did your ex? I suppose it's possible she disabled your account's admin privileges. You can check under Accounts in System Preferences (you may have to boot from your Panther install disc and use it to reset your ex's password
"Remote desktop agent, apparently running from ibook, controlling every aspect of the desktop."
What do you mean by every aspect of the system? Is it controlling the mouse? Is it controlling behaviors or configurations? Does it show up in Activity Viewer?
"crucial logs are either missing or encrypted."
which logs?
"The whole operation is camouflaged in the most mind boggling way. By sheer luck, I stumbled on the ibook's "other" interface - just enough to note that the menu is different, and there are weird java scripts all over the place that trigger actions in ways I never saw in Kansas:"
Please tell us how you stumbled on the other interface and what sorts of actions these javascripts trigger.
"There are modifier keys involved, but i have no idea what they are - pressing the right ones gets you "in" (to OZ?),"
how do you know pressing a certain combination gets you in? in to what, exactly?

Beginner help to send an email from PHP

I hope this isn't too easy to answer - I think I must be doing something fairly simple wrong.
I want to send an email from a PHP page, using SOAP so the mail appears in the sender's sent items, as if it was done in the usual way.
We're using Groupwise 8.02
Using the example code in phpClient/phpClient.php I have got a list of folders/emails in my mailbox, so the authentication and access to Groupwise is obviously working. However, in that file there isn't a send mail example, so I copied the one from phpSOAP/client.php and it doesn't work.....the error seems to be 59920 which might be something to do with the session missing, but I find this hard to believe since the folders can be retrieved with the same object.
Here is the code for mail sending I'm using:
$mail = new Mail();
$mail->subject = "php item";
$dist = new Distribution();
$from = new From();
$from->displayName = "Paul Green";
$from->email = "[email protected]";
$dist->from = "[email protected]";;
$dist->to = "Paul Green";
$rlist = new RecipientList();
$recip1 = new Recipient();
$recip1->displayName = "Peter";
$recip1->email = "[email protected]";
$recip2 = new Recipient();
$recip2->displayName = "Andy";
$recip2->email = "[email protected]";
$rlist->recipient = array ($recip1, $recip2);
$dist->recipients = $rlist;
$mail->distribution = $dist;
$mp = new MessagePart();
$mp->_ = "This is a test!";
$mb = new MessageBody();
$mb->part = $mp;
$mail->message = $mb;
$sir = new sendItemRequest();
$sir->item = $mail;
$sires = $gwservice->sendItemRequest($sir);
Looking around, it seems to me that some of the objects haven't got the properties that the above code expects (eg the from object), so is the schema wrong somewhere?
What I would like, but couldn't find, is some simple example code that works!
Does anyone know the simplest way to send an email via SOAP?
Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

The phpClient code was a proof of concept.
I only hand fixed a few of the requests.
If you use that code, you will need to go into each
request you want to use and put in code to put in the
session string. You need to do that in GroupWiseService.php.
You may need to modify the individual files, ie Filter.php.
The phpSOAP code works better / easier. You shouldn't have
to modify that code. (You should be able to just use it.)
That said, I only did a spot check. The code is as is. There
is no support for it.

Import package does not work - beginner help

Hi, I'm a beginner with java. I just trying to figure out how to use packages. I followed everything in the tutorial, but I can't figure out why my simple example does not work.
I made the following directories three, for the sake of the example.
in /home/username/Desktop I created a directory named it
inside it I created prove
inside prove I created test1 and test2
Inside test1 I created the following sample class:
package it.prove.test1;
public class HelloWorld
     private String message;
     public HelloWorld(String message)
          this.message = message;
     public String getMessage()
          return this.message;
}in the directory test2 I created this other one:
package it.prove.test2;
import it.prove.test1.HelloWorld;
public class HelloWorldProgram
     public static void main(String[] args)
          HelloWorld hw = new HelloWorld("Guten Tag, Welt!");
          System.out.println(hw.getMessage());
}So now I have this three:
it
it/prove
it/prove/test1, it/prove/test2
As I said in test1 there is HelloWorld.java and in test2 HelloWorldProgram.java.
When I compile HelloWorld.java, it worked fine.
When I try to compile HelloWorldProgram.java, the compiler says that cannot find package it.prove.test1..
Why that? What did I make wrong?
Sorry both for my bad english (it is not my first language) and for the really trivial question (I'm a really beginner).
Tnx to whoever will help

Assuming you are running on Windows here.
Packages are directly tied to the classpath. Before java can find the it.prove.test1 package, it needs to be a part of the classpath. To make this possible, you need to add the root of the path, where the 'it' directory is in, to the classpath, like this:
javac -cp .;/home/username/Desktop file.java
the -cp switch tells java which classpath to use; it consists of two elements:
. = current directory
/home/username/Desktop = the directory containing the 'it' package root
When run like this, it should work. The same goes for running the code, you would run it like this:
java -cp .;/home/username/Desktop it.prove.test2.HelloWorldProgram
Hope that gives you the hints you need.

[Beginner] Help! How to change the packet name for an jax-rpc example

Hi
I am new to the JWSDP, I tried to build and deploy the helloservice application (the example in
tutorial), it works fine. But I want to change the packet name from helloservice to books, it
returns error message during the building process.
Here is what I did.
I changed the folder name from helloservice to books.
In helloIF.java and helloImp1.java, changed to "package books"
In build.properties:
example=books
war.path=${tut.root}/examples/jaxrpc/books/${dist}/${deployable.war}
context.path=${hello.context}
portable.war=${context.path}-portable.war
deployable.war=${context.path}.war
In jaxrpc-ri.xml,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webServices
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/dd"
version="1.0"
targetNamespaceBase="urn:foo"
typeNamespaceBase="urn:foo"
urlPatternBase="/ws">
<endpoint
name="MyHello"
displayName="HelloWorld Service"
description="A simple web service"
interface="books.HelloIF"
model="/WEB-INF/model.gz"
implementation="books.HelloImpl"/>
<endpointMapping
endpointName="MyHello"
urlPattern="/hello"/>
</webServices>
In config-interface.xml,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jax-rpc/ri/config">
<service
name="MyHelloservice"
targetNamespace="urn:foo"
typeNamespace="urn:foo"
packageName="books">
<interface name="books.HelloIF"/>
</service>
</configuration>
When I run "ant build", it returns the following error message:
run-wscompile:
[echo] Running wscompile:
[echo] C:\jwsdp-1.3\apache-ant\../jaxrpc/bin/wscompile.bat -define -d bui
ld -nd build -classpath build config-interface.xml -model build/mo
del.gz
[exec] error parsing configuration file: XML parsing error: com.sun.xml.rpc
.sp.ParseException:1: com.sun.xml.rpc.sp/P-067
[exec] Result: 1
All I want to do is just change the packet name, anyone know how to do it?
Please help me.
Thank you.

For future reference, please post JAXRPC related questions to [email protected]
There is something syntatically wrong with your config.xml. Try reverting back to the original, and try that. Then try modifying it again making sure to only change the packageName.

CS3 Beginner help - Overlapping?

I'm new to Illustrator and I'm sorry if this is a silly question but I've tried all sorts of things and I just can't work it out. I'm wondering how you partly remove the overlap of an object on another object. I'm thinking it has something to do with Pathfinder but for the life of me I can't make it do it correctly. I've attached a file to show what I mean. What I would to do it work out how to make the top group look like the bottom group (as in each object overlapping another in one area but under another object in another area). I can do it by cheating, as shown in the bottom group, but I figure there must be a way to do it properly.
Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and I'm using Illustrator CS3.
Thanks

I don't seem to have a Minus Front - only a Minus Back. I've tried everything I can find on the Pathfinder tool bar but nothing seems to work. It obviously must but I must be doing something wrong. I've done a picture of the item. Square was created first, then circle, then star, but I want to know how to get the top edge of the star to go under the square like it does in the second picture (which I faked). Hope the pictures show ok.

Applescript beginner help

Hi
I am a new to applescript. I thought making a mini game using applescript might be a good starter. I know some of the basic commands.
Anyway, I thought of creating a mini game that generates a random number and then asks the user a basic mathmatical question regarding that number. Here is my script:
display alert "Lets play The random number game"
say "generating random number between 10 and 20" using "zarvox"
set firstVariable to random number from 10 to 20
display alert firstVariable
set Num1 to 42 - firstVariable
set answer1 to text returned of (display dialog "First question - 42 - random number" default answer (0))
if answer1 is Num1 then
display alert "You are correct"
else
display alert "You are incorret"
end if
end
When the user types in the correct answer an alert box should come up saying: You are correct. Instead is says: Your are incorrect. I
don't know where I have gone wrong. I have tried different things but still no go.
As I said, I am new to applescript I just created this basic script so I can practice managing inputs from the user. If someone can help me that
would be great.

Use the following line:
if (answer1 as number) is Num1 then
(95182)

ABAP beginner HELP

Hi all,
Well, I am planning to migrate to SAP. Since I have much experience in software development I thought of exploring SAP ABAP. To use it I planned to download SAP Netweaver trial version and registered at SAP.com but now I am pretty confused to download exactly what? and any useful links for me to begin with.
Thanks
-Rehgrds

Hi Saad,
the SAP NetWeaver ABAP Trial Version at [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/downloads] is a good place to start. You do not need ECC to practise ABAP.
The associated pages give you plenty of information on what the hardware requirements are and how to install it.
There is also plenty of stuff in the eLearning and the Wiki to get you going as well as plenty of books available if your budget allows.
As a beginner there is one thing I think you should be aware of. ABAP is a very old language that has been evolving for decades. It is SAPs strategy to make the ABAP language as backwards-compatible as possible. This means that language constructs that are 20 years old are still supported in the language alongside the latest language enhancements such as regular expressions, chaining of method calls, etc. For a newbie this mix of old and new can be at least distracting and at worst confusing.
Take your time to understand the old and the new to really appreciate ABAP.
Cheers
Graham Robbo

Ora-25215 from windows to unix - please help

I have successfully set up streams replication from unix to windows -- it works beautifully!
However, when I set up streams with a different set of tables going from windows to unix, I get the propagation error, "ora-25215: user_data type and queue type do not match"
I have been all over metalink and the internet trying to find a solution or explanation, and there is very little out there. I found a dozen hits on my metalink search on ora-25215 and one of them was "How to resolve ora-25215..." Alas, it really doesn't address a fix for simple streams, it goes into setting up a payload, etc...
Like I said, my unix to windows works like a charm, but unix to windows doesn't. By the way, my windows is 2k and my unix is solaris 8. Anyone have any ideas for what the problem is?
Thanks,
jimmy

Jimmy,
Make sure your propagation is configured correctly. It is also possible to get this error in Oracle9iR2 if you use the wrong queue name or schema when configuring propagation.

Need some beginner help on formatting and images

Just getting started with ID so am going through the learning process and could use a little help getting past some of the road bumps.
Are ID character and paragraph styles similar in use and effect as those in Word? In other words, are there important differences in when to use text styles and paragraph styles? Do they cascade? Did I make a mistake by setting up two styles, one character and one paragraph, and applying them to a paragraph? Is there a good practice anywhere where you don't use a paragraph style to set character styling but instead use a character style and a paragraph style together?
Get the idea? I'm looking for sort of an ID styling 101.
Thanks in advance
Tom

No Style is not a style. It is a lack of style. It exists in the list of
styles because there has to be something there to choose from when you
choose to base a style on nothing, or when you want to *not* apply a
paragraph style to a paragraph. When you don't want any style, you want
no style (hence the name). The only time I deliberately apply No Style
to a paragraph is when I want to "lock down" the formatting so that it
won't change if I change a style (because No Style has no definition to
change).
Basic Paragraph is a special style that can't be deleted from the list
of styles. For my books, I like to make a text style, give it a name
like "text", and then base everything on that. As far as I can tell, the
danger in basing everything on Basic Paragraph is simply that you may
have it defined differently in another document and if you copy material
from one document to another, everything will change (because everything
is based on Basic Paragraph and Basic Paragraph is defined differently).
Again, as far as I can tell, this is no different than having two
documents, both basing everything on a style called "text" and defining
"text" differently in those two documents. Either way, if you copy
styled text from one document to another, you may see changes if the
style exists in both documents and is defined differently.
Your particular workflow depends mostly on the people you're working
with. It's certainly possible to set up a Word template containing all
the styles your writers will need and then tell them to use them. Then
you won't have to do anything except Place the Word file. My experience,
though, is that 99% of Word users don't even know styles exist, so this
may require some education...
In my workflow, I almost always get Word files after they've been
written (and usually formatted to death). I Place Word files, keeping
formatting, and then search and replace the formatting that I want to
keep for styles and then select all and Clear Overrides. This way I get
to keep the author's hard work but dump all the garbage the author
introduced.
