Is OpenSolaris in hot water?

07-25-2008 01:00 PM
Here's how it works: Novell owns Unix's IP (intellectual property). SCO sold Unix's IP to Sun. Sun then included some Unix IP into Solaris. Finally, Sun open sourced Solaris as OpenSolaris. Sounds like trouble, doesn't it?

Water cooled 1U server

I may be able to get a Sunfire X2200 server from work. Dual quad code AMD Opeteron CPU's, 32GB RAM, etc. Since it is a 1U server, its pretty loud. I was thinking that if I could put in a water cooling setup, it would make a better desktop server. Does anyone have experience doing this? Thanks (5 Replies)

tracking high water usage of mount point

Oracle Linux 5.6 x86-64 This may or may not end up being a strictly 'scripting' issue, but I'll start here. I'm looking for a way of establishing the 'max' or 'high water' useage of a given mount point over a period of a week. My first thought was for a cron job, as: */5 * * * * df -h |... (4 Replies)

Man develops Car that runs using water as fuel

It's a metacafe video, doesn't work with tags. Here's the link Man Develops a Car Which Runs Solely on Water ! Video This is good news, I guess if water replaces oil we won't get a heart attack any more when we see fuel prices keep escalating because arabs and israeli's keep fighting. (1 Reply)

Too Hot Here

Officially, we had high of 96°F with a relative humidity of 52% here in Rockville Md today. But my car's thermometer said the outside temp was 110° when I first got in this afternoon. After driving for 30 minutes it cooled down to 103°. I actually have a nasty burn on my hand just from leaning... (19 Replies)

NAME
Exacct::Object::Item - exacct item manipulation SYNOPSIS
use Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object; my $ea_item = Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Item->new( &EXT_UINT64 | &EXC_DEFAULT | &EXD_PROC_PID, $$); DESCRIPTION
This module is used for manipulating libexacct(3LIB) data Items. A libexacct Item is represented as an opaque reference blessed into the Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Item class, which is a subclass of the Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object class. The underlying libexacct data types are mapped onto Perl types as follows: libexacct type Perl internal type EXT_UINT8 IV (integer) EXT_UINT16 IV (integer) EXT_UINT32 IV (integer) EXT_UINT64 IV (integer) EXT_DOUBLE NV (double) EXT_STRING PV (string) EXT_RAW PV (string) EXT_EXACCT_OBJECT Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object subclass Constants None. Functions None. Class methods Class methods include those inherited from the Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object base class, plus the following: new($catalog, $value) This method creates and returns a new Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object::Item. The catalog tag can be either an integer or a Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Catalog. This catalog tag controls the conversion of the Perl value to the corresponding Perl exacct data type as described in the table above. If the catalog tag has a type field of EXT_EXACCT_OBJECT, the value must be a reference to either an Item or a Group object and the passed object is recursively copied and stored inside the new Item. Because the returned Item is constant, it is impossible, for example, to create an Item representing CPU seconds and subsequently modify its value or change its catalog value. This behavior is intended to prevent mismatches between the catalog tag and the data value. Object methods Object methods are those inherited from the Sun::Solaris::Exacct::Object. Exports None.
