Is having too many Linux distros a problem?

Priyanka Sarkar — 2013-05-20T10:27:32

Dear All,

A lot of debate happened on our FB wall on the topic 'What are the
advantages & disadvantages of having multiple Linux Distros?'. Here is
the link
https://www.facebook.com/OpenSourceForU?ref=tn_tnmn#!/photo.php?fbid=10151620073774433&set=a.112258614432.84824.58079349432&type=1&theater.


We are planning to do a story on the same and we would really appreciate
if you let us know your thoughts on *'Is having too many Linux distros a
problem?*'. Please share your views on what you think on this.


Regards,

Priyanka

Re: passing html values to shell script

Hi Hari,

Normally a HTML form sends the data to a URL by GET or POST methods.
There will be server-side code to handle the incoming data, validate
it and if it is valid do some operation with it. So you have to write
all the logic of sanitizing the input and calling the shell script in
the server-side code in your favourite language (PHP, Python, Ruby,
Perl, Java and etc.). It is not a good idea to blindly trust the
client-side input data and perform operations on it, hence validation
and sanitization are required.

Thanks & Regards,

Re: passing html values to shell script

I don't mind helping people with difficult problems, but this is an easy
one.
Learn to use Google, my friend.

Here's a hint: Google for "CGI" and "shell script"

My suggestion is to abandon shell scripting altogether, and learn Perl.
Perl is much more sophisticated!
With modules like CGI.pm ( ancient, elegant, robust ) Perl is better suited
for web programming than shell.

Cheers,

Can you describe the nature of the application which demands such kind of
implementation?

passing html values to shell script

hari prasadh — 2013-05-20T06:02:21

Hi Everyone,

Can somebody provide some sample program in detail how to pass html values
to shell script.

<form name="input" action="create_job.sh" method="get">
Username: <input type="text" name="user">
Password: <input type="text" name="pass">
JobName: <input type="text" name="jobname">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Passing those values to shell script.

Hi ,
      Please help me how to write a automated shell script to copy files in
daily basis without any duplication using cronttab.


Why not try rsync and cron the job? Saves copying in mod if I Redon files everyday.

The world / india does not need another mark zuckerberg. You be the real
you.

our India have created Tatas, Reliance, Infosys and many biggies....

Learn to accept the people from here rather than importing it.

just that we always brag about the products / people from west and forget
our own people.

our people have stopped knowing our own history. only then, we know how
good we are.

the spirit of entrepreneurship is in getting things done.

are you ready for that?

Linux sysadmin consultant

Vijay Varadan — 2013-05-19T08:58:22

Hello,

Not sure if posting a job requirement is appropriate for this forum; if 
not, moderators - please delete.

Quick intro: I run a game development studio in Nungambakkam (

What I'm looking for: A sysadmin on a contract basis to help setup and 
maintain Linux servers in a mixed network with Windows. There is 
existing infrastructure (hosts & base VMs are set up) and you would be 
expected to expand and build on it.

Skills: Expertise with Ubuntu 12.04 server, KVM, LDAP (particularly LDAP 
auth using Active Directory via winbind), Zimbra OSE 8, VPN (non-PPP).

If you're interested, please send me an email (off list) with your 
resume.

Thanks.

Re: Installing grub in the root partition

Mehul Ved — 2013-05-18T08:15:44


He is trying to install BCD boot manager on the boot sector. In such cases,
bootloaders like grub and ntldr go to the root partition of their
respective installs. That's the correct way since the selection of which OS
to boot is now handled by the boot manager.
You'd use this strategy for multiple Linux installs too, only one install's
grub goes on MBR, all the other go on the root partition.

I am too late to answer this, though. Would like to know from OP if he
fixed it? I haven't seen this error before. Is he using GRUB2?

Re: Making the mailboxes readonly

Mohan Sundaram — 2013-05-18T05:51:30

There is a specific reason for asking this question as it is related to an
Organization and they need this sort of feature.

Easiest thing to do then - modify the  web mail front end html pages by removing the delete buttons.

Re: Making the mailboxes readonly

Shrinivasan T — 2013-05-18T05:40:45

Who do you want to prevent deleting emails?

Instead of removing the delete option you should look to a archiving
solution. Search for archive, and mailarchive.

Try zimbra for nice UI.

Making the mailboxes readonly

Ravi Kumar Tenneti — 2013-05-18T05:35:09

Dear All,

We have requirement and we need to install a mail server and all the
mailboxes should be readonly meaning the users should not be able to delete
any mails.

They should be able to receive the mails and send the mails but they should
not delete the mails.

We are comfortable with installing mail servers like Postfix, Qmail etc.,
but would like to know if this can be achieved.

POP/IMAP access will also be not given to the users and only webmail will
be given . We may load Squirrelmail, Roundcube etc., for this.

Any pointers will be highly appreciated
