My apologies again. I have been up working on a number of different emergencies this week until about 3am each night. This PDF issue is just one problem I am having at the moment and my attention is divided. I'm not trying to rile anyone up. Thank you again for looking at this.

No worries. I completely understand the stress of working many IT coding issues at once and juggling many balls all up in the air at the same time.

I will reopen the original thread and merge this post. into it.

OBTW, I am not "riled" or upset or angry in any way. I am like a "admin robot"... I just insure this site is healthy, running fast and smooth, protect the site from harm, and insure our mission, rules and guidelines are followed.

SOAP BOX COMMENT: Sidebar (not specific to your post):

Sometimes I ask a question or ask for input, to insure that questions are clear, not only for me, but for future generations who visit the site and have similar questions. This site is not a "put a nickel in and get an answer out site", as some would like it to be. Our mission is to teach people to solve their own problems, not to do other's work for them, like the old saying (paraphrasing) which I am sure you have heard before:

"Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach that same person to fish, and you feed them for a lifetime."

In the age of the Internet and social media, people have become too dependant on others to do their problem solving (and thinking) for them. When I created this site decades ago, long before FB, reddit, stack*, medium, and more; our goals were always to have a very high "signal to noise" ratio and to never become a "put a nickel in and get an answer site", to encourage people to describe and solve their own problems with our help.

I will continue to encourage all users in that direction, even if we are the last site on the Internet to be this way. Smilie

csplit limitations

I am trying to use the csplit file on a file that contains records that have more than 2048 characters on a line. The resultant split file seems to ignore the rest of the line and I lose the data. Is there any way that csplit can handle record lengths greater than 2048? Thanks

pdftotext / PDF conversion to .txt binaries

Good day, I've been trying to look for a way to compile the Xpdf sources in our HP-UX server, but have been failing to do so because there is no GCC installed, and I don't have privileges to install GCC. I was looking for a functionality to convert PDF files to .txt, which is exactly like the...

I'm running a simulation (programmed in C) which makes calls to gnuplot periodically to plot data I have stored. First I open a pipe to gnuplot and set it to multiplot: FILE * pipe = popen("gnuplot", "w"); fprintf(pipe, "set multiplot\n"); fflush(pipe); (this pipe stays open until the...

Solaris limitations

Hi, I recently started working with Solaris, and what I noticed is that a lot of commands I used to regularly use don't work, like sed -i and grep -r. I have found work arounds for these problems though but it's a pain in the ass. I'm just wondering why they decided not to include these handy...

A2ENSITE(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       A2ENSITE(8)

NAME

       a2ensite, a2dissite - enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host

SYNOPSIS

       a2ensite [site]

       a2dissite [site]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the a2ensite and a2dissite commands.

       a2ensite is a script that enables the specified site (which contains a <VirtualHost> block) within the apache2 configuration.  It does this
       by creating symlinks within /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.	Likewise, a2dissite disables a site by removing those  symlinks.   It  is  not	an
       error to enable a site which is already enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled.

       The default site is handled specially: The resulting symlink will be called 000-default in order to be loaded first.

EXAMPLES

	      a2dissite default

       Disables the default site.

FILES

       /etc/apache2/sites-available
	      Directory with files giving information on available sites.

       /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
	      Directory with links to the files in sites-available for enabled sites.

SEE ALSO

       apache2ctl(8).

AUTHOR

       This  manual  page  was written by Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org> (based on the a2enmod manual page by Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net>) for
       the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
