UPDATE-DEFAULT-ISPELL(8)UPDATE-DEFAULT-ISPELL(8)NAME
update-default-ispell - update default ispell dictionary
SYNOPSIS
update-default-ispell [--dico-postinst] [--triggered]
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Not to be used from the command line unless you know very well what you are doing.
This program is intended to be called from ispell dictionary package postinst, from select-default-ispell or from dictionaries-common
postinst (with --dico-postinst).
When called under dpkg control without the --dico-postinst option, a dictionaries-common trigger is enabled to be run later. In the
triggered run (or when is called from the command line or with --trigger option), reads the system default from the debconf database and
set default links in /etc/dictionaries-common pointing to the appropriate files in /usr/lib/ispell/. Also updates the system-wide setting
/etc/dictionaries-common/ispell-default. and rebuilds the /var/cache/dictionaries-common/ispell.db and the emacsen, jed, and SquirrelMail
support (to be put in /var/cache/dictionaries-common/) from the files in /var/lib/dictionaries-common/ispell
When called from from dictionaries-common postinst with --dico-postinst symlinks creation step will be skipped and trigger not enabled.
OPTIONS --dico-postinst Do not enable trigger nor try to set default symlinks. --triggered Run all the code instead of trying to enable
update-default-ispell trigger

sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)

I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.

Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
