@ewwhite My only concern is jboss, but the entire stack is very cool stuff. Can't say much more about it :D

I'm a real boy!

@JoelESalas Eh. $$$

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite is jboss $$$ in your experience

@JoelESalas Web company?

I've made the choice to drop all I know about trading systems... I'm going to a place that will be more database and web-heavy.

Joel E Salas

@ewwhite It is a web application, yes.

ewwhite

You won't lose your skills. Just keep abreast of what's happening.

@JoelESalas It's only dirty if you make it dirty.

Oh, and @joel, you'd better show up to Jessica's meetup.

@WesleyDavid That's the 2nd shot of a cat like that I've seen this week. Wondering how much of that's Photoshop.

Michael Hampton

@Adrian Just one side of it.

Michael Hampton

Can't you get rid of Exchange?

G'day

Good morning!

it's dark !

Oh, that won't last much longer.

Iain

it shouldn't really be dark now but we have heavy cloud

Michael Hampton

6:18 AM

Ha. My RSS reader just popped up with "The Lesbian Porn Viagra Boner Challenge!"

"Did you start the service, you idiot?"

Iain

quiet in here last night

Michael Hampton

I wasn't here. :)

Oh god, some of these questions tonight. I want to downvote the users with a hammer.

Q: how to instal snmp server in redhat linux?

I am having some problem with snmp server installation.I want to install snmp server and agent also by which i can query to my local host. i have downloaded the snmp tar version as I want to write a program to get some data from a device and I did that ,but when I want to check the localhost dat...

Almost as bad: SO sent us some total crap. serverfault.com/q/420305/126632

Iain

@MichaelHampton :(

Shane Madden

@MichaelHampton Please do provide the proper solution for this

Michael Hampton

@ShaneMadden Which one?

Shane Madden

@MichaelHampton That's in the migrated one

Michael Hampton

6:45 AM

@ShaneMadden OK... but it's going to be the same, exactly...

Iain

I really do wish we could just stop migrations. The benefit to the OP is far outweighed by the grief/work they cause on a target site

Michael Hampton

They definitely seem to be overused.

Shane Madden

At least require a couple approval votes on the receiving site before it fires

Michael Hampton

That might work.

Iain

that still requires work on the rx site - just plain close them OT and tell the OP based on the voting that $othersite may be more appropriate

it's not like copy+paste is hard

Michael Hampton

6:50 AM

@Iain Copy+paste is hard.

Shane Madden

There has been a drastic drop in the number of migrations we get, though

Iain

has there ?

Shane Madden

Yeah - the incoming migrations in last 90 days stat from SO has dropped like a rock. 6 or 8 months ago, we had gotten 1000-1100 in the last 90 days

Today it's 360.

Michael Hampton

I finished that bloody SELinux policy. And only had to ask for help on the selinux mailing list once.

Iain

@ShaneMadden I wonder what's been done then

Michael Hampton

6:53 AM

Who the hell schedules chat room events for THIS time of night?

Iain

@MichaelHampton it's a reminder for the sec.se community

Shane Madden

@Iain That's probably the full force of the "4 votes to migrate to the same place or it doesn't migrate" rule for SO.. on the other hand, I remember our reject rate being around 11% then.. now it's 16%.

Michael Hampton

@Iain Right, I know, but it's confusing :)

Iain

@MichaelHampton annoying that you can't opt out too

Michael Hampton

Speaking of rejects, good morning @ewwhite ;)

@ewwhite 7/10 would rage again

Iain

8:45 AM

@ward you about ?

Ward

@Iain Yeah

what's up?

Iain

@Ward a late one eh - can you do me a quick favour and go to review|close votes and do 4 o5 and let me know what you did close/do not close and especially if you were the 5th vote

I want to see how it's counting the votes and reviews left

Q: How to I retain text case while using %h in mt-daapd's config file?

In my mt-daapd config file is the line name = %h which, if I understand correctly, when my hostname is aCoolHostname this will evaluate to name = acoolhostname in lowercase. How do I use the %h but keep the lovely case formatting?

linux shell-scripting formatting

voted to close NARQ (my vote was #4)

is that what you want?

Iain

I don't need to know how or on what really just yes/no and if yours was last

Q: Why am I gettting errors about unpackaged files while trying to build an rpm?

Trying to package up wget-1.13.tar.gz into a rpm (I am re-learning this process) and I'm running into these errors when I do a dry run. error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /etc/wgetrc /usr/bin/wget /usr/share/info/dir /usr/share/info/wget.info.gz /usr/share/locale/be/LC_MESSAGES/w...

voted to close OT (migrate to Unix, my vote was #4)

Dan

8:56 AM

Can someone help with such a stupid issue

Iain

@Dan ...

Ward

another one I was the 5th vote to close

Iain

@Ward great - it looks like the total only goes down when a question gets closed

Ward

another vote to close, I was #4

another vote to close, I was #5

Iain

that explains why the total isn't going down very quicky

Ward

8:59 AM

another vote to close, I was #5

Dan

Basically, I wish to run this script:

http://blogs.citrix.com/2012/04/25/bash-ing-xenserver/

But I'm having major problems with encoding, I think do the use of funny quote marks

Ward

Do not close\

another vote to close, I was #4

Dan

I've chucked it into Notepad++ and tried to change them all it, but I still get syntax errors. I'm putting it onto the box using WinSCP

Ward

I assumed the total isn't going down because new questions are getting a vote or two and added to the /review list.

Also because I've been too busy the past week or so to do much more than read a bunch of SF questions and vote on Q&A, haven't been reviewing or reading the other SE sites I normally do.

Iain

@Ward it may be partly that but it definitely only goes down when a question gets closed

Ward

9:02 AM

A Do Not close vote...

One last one, I was the 5th vote to close

Iain

@Dan taking a peek

Ward

@Iain It's been hovering around 1200 for a while... Goes down a bit when I have time to /review and make a comment here that gets a few people interested.

Iain

@Dan where is the syntax error - I don't have xen

Dan

@Iain Sorry, the output I'm currently getting is

getmac.sh: line 24: ((: j<xe vif-list vm-name-label="$namelabel" | grep device | wc -l: syntax error in expression (error token is "vif-list vm-name-label="$namelabel" | grep device | wc -l")

Iain

@Dan with source colouring on it all seems to go wrong 2 lines up

writeline=.\.$namelabel\."

remove the " at the end and the colouring looks right

and if that doesn't seem right then put a \ in front of the "

I don't think it's the latter though as there is no closing " in the file

Dan

9:22 AM

Wait, you get dots?

Cos I shows as
writeline="\"$namelabel\""

For me

Iain

@Dan when I paste it into vi I get . when I paste it into notepad++ I get magic quotes

@Dan change that line to

writeline="\"$namelabel\""

and the next to

writeline+=","

then line 37 to

writeline+=","

and line 40 to

echo "$writeline" >> output.csv

and 42 to

echo "VMs and their respective MAC addresses have been written to output.csv in the current directory."

Dan

Yeah, I think that's the point I'm at

Anarko_Bizounours

hi

Iain

10:01 AM

@Dan pastebin.com/CQXHp0YZ

try that magic quotes all aver

Dan

10:28 AM

@Iain You absolute star

Iain

Dan

Yeah, I couldn't make head nor tails of it. Don't know why people touch funny quotes in code
