Hi All.
I am stuck and need some fresh ideas...
I am writing a script that checks to see if an Oracle db is available. The script reads an ini file to determine if there is a blackout period for certain db's... ie: we don't care if it's up or down 1700 - 700 the next morning.
The ini file... (3 Replies)
I was wondering what other mail utilities besides 'mutt, unix mail, PINE and elm' are available for unix.
Also, what other editors are around besides 'VI, pico, vim and emacs'... I've been searching the net looking for some answers, but nothing much has come up.. thanx! (1 Reply)
We are trying to tune a server which phsycially is maxed out on cpu.
We are maxing out on memory and swapping at a rate of 20-43% of our swap space which is approx 45% of total ram.
We "can" upgrade to twice the memory that we currently have but it will be costly as there are no more seats... (5 Replies)
Just started out with C and are looking for a good editor
in *nix that marks the code with colors.
This is maybe a newbie thing to have the C code in colors
but i like it and you can almost always se when you are typing wrong. :)
Ive heard that emacs should have that option but i havent... (3 Replies)
ACPI_VIDEO(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ACPI_VIDEO(4)NAME
acpi_video -- ACPI Video Extensions driver
SYNOPSIS
device acpi_video
DESCRIPTION
This driver uses the ACPI Video Extensions to control display switching and backlight brightness. The availability of the sysctl(8) vari-
ables depends on the functions offered by the host's ACPI implementation.
SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following sysctls are currently implemented, where <device> is crt, lcd, or tv:
hw.acpi.video.<device>.active
Current state of the output device.
hw.acpi.video.<device>.levels
List of supported brightness levels.
hw.acpi.video.<device>.brightness
Current brightness level of the device.
hw.acpi.video.<device>.fullpower
Preset brightness level to be used in full power mode.
hw.acpi.video.<device>.economy
Preset brightness level to be used in economy mode.
Defaults for these variables can be set in sysctl.conf(5), which is parsed at boot-time.
SEE ALSO acpi(4), loader.conf(5), sysctl.conf(5), sysctl(8)HISTORY
The acpi_video driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.3.
AUTHORS
The acpi_video driver was written by Taku YAMAMOTO <taku@cent.saitama-u.ac.jp>. This manual page was written by Mark Santcroos
<marks@ripe.net>.
BUGS
Some systems only perform output switching via SMM even though they export the proper information via ACPI. On such systems, the proper
hotkeys or OEM driver (for example, acpi_toshiba(4)) must be used instead.
