OOo Basic crash course: Creating a simple application launcher

Wed, 28 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT
In previous installments of the crash course, you've learned how to build a simple basket tool, a task manager, and even a word game. This time, let's take a look at how you can use the skills you picked up from those exercises to create a simple application launcher, which will allow you to start virtually any application without leaving the convenience of OpenOffice.org. While working on this project, you'll learn how to create and use functions, handle errors, and how to populate list boxes using records from a database table.

Sudden application crash in servers

Hi, This weekend there was a sudden application crash in the server. I did not know where to start to investigate the problem, so I first looked into the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log, and this was what I found : Dec 17 00:38:02 L28bi01 sshd: error: accept: No buffer space available Dec 17...

ABRTD(8)							    ABRT Manual 							  ABRTD(8)

NAME

       abrtd - automated bug reporting tool's daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       abrtd [-dsv[v]...]

DESCRIPTION

       abrtd is a daemon that watches for application crashes. When a crash occurs, it collects the problem data (core file, application's command
       line etc.) and takes action according to the type of application that crashed and according to the configuration in the abrt.conf config
       file. There are plugins for various actions: for example to report the crash to Bugzilla, to mail the report, or to transfer the report via
       FTP or SCP. See the manual pages for the respective plugins.

OPTIONS

       -v
	   Log more detailed debugging information.

       -d
	   Stay in the foreground and log to standard error.

       -s
	   Log to system log even with option -d.

       -t NUM
	   Exit after NUM seconds of inactivity.

       -p
	   Add program names to log.

CAVEATS

       When you use some other crash-catching tool specific for an application or an application type (for example BugBuddy for GNOME
       applications), crashes of this type will be handled by that tool and not by abrtd. If you want abrtd to handle these crashes, turn off the
       higher-level crash-catching tool.
