RE: forcing a reboot


Correct me if I'm wrong, however, would not a shutdown -r now command
not immediately kill the system and reboot?

Subject: Re: forcing a reboot

if you really nead a reboot and you have sysrq (Magic Sysrq Key in the
Menu Kernel hacking) enabled, you can use 

    echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger 

to reboot - if your system is still alive then you can try the
combination

    ALT+"Print Screen"

to get the Sysrq-Menu in the console and then press the key as shown on
the oncoming menu.

more information you could find in the file sysrq.txt in the
documentation directory of the linux kernel sources.

Do You have a (1st and 2nd) SIIG UltraATA PCI Controller or is this the first 'add on' PCI IDE card?

If BIOS can recognize the drives on the new controller card,
 I will bet that linux will be able to use them.  'Somehow make existing 
linux'
recognize the drive just like it somehow recognizes the current drives.
Edit 'fstab' or mount the new partitions manually with a script.

shell/Perl question

Hi everybody

I have several directories (around 10) named ABC, DEF, GHI,...
Each directory contains more than 50 files named, for example, 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 
3.jpg,...50.jpg
These names are the same in each directory (this is what digital cameras do, 
they give the same names...)
My problem is: I want to put all these files in the same directory, for 
example, Photos, with the following names:
1ABC.jpg, 2ABC.jpg, ...50ABC.jpg, 1DEF.jpg, 2DEF.jpg...50DEF.jpg,...
each image filename (such as 1.jpg) will be split and to insert the name of 
the directory (such as ABC..) after the first part of the name and finally 
append the extension (.jpg) to the filename.

Any idea?
Thanks

Vick

Two examples:

	for dir in ABC DEF GHI ; do
	 for file in `(cd "$dir" && echo *.jpg)` ; do
	  mv "$dir/$file" "Photos/${file%%.jpg}$dir.jpg"
	 done
	done

	find . -type f | sed 's!^\./\(.*\)/\(.*\)\.jpg$!mv \1/\2.jpg Photos/\2\1.jpg!' | sh

If any of the filenames contain spaces, it gets more complex.

Re: shell/Perl question

love Vick's short ones.

I use perl for tasks like this.

There is a perl module called File::Copy that is great for this.
something like.

opendir(HANDLE, "dir to read" ).

while ( $eachfile = readdir( HANDLE ) ) {

	move( "$eachfile", "new_location/new_prefix_$eachfile

}

I can send you examples if you are interested.

You might also look at 

http://www.stanford.edu/~epop/igal/

To organize your photos.
