Any web based inventory management software available
by Rohit 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

Hello luggers, Now our company have shifted to linux platform.Previuosly we wee using windows OS and tally for managing the company accounts.Now as we have migtared to linux we need some good web based accounting package which can be installed on our intranet server and all the users should have authenticated access to the web based accounting package(for example an application written in php+mysql+Apache) .Also one more reason to have central web based application is that on windows we have to install the accounting package on all the client workstations,but with this kind of web based application we wont need to install any client software and purchase separate license for all those client PC's. I have searched sourceforge.net,googled but with no results.Please point me to some useful links where i can get this kind of software package or if anybody does develop such application's feel free to contact. Warm Regards, Rohit Baisakhiya. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again

In addition, the May issue of Linux Magazine adds two new monthly columns: Law student and MBA Nicholas Well's "On the Docket" focuses on legal issues, such as vendor indemnity and flavors of open source licenses, while MySQL guru Jeremy Zawodny pens "Advanced MySQL". The new columns join Randal Schwartz's clever "Perls of Wisdom", Jerry Peek's instructive "Power Tools", Rod Smith's system administration "Guru Guidance", and more than eight other columns focused on putting Linux to work.

project

hi friends, our group have been alloted a project= on linux where we have communicate with a relay machine using asynchronous= transmission through serial port. we have to use modbus protocol. so= me of the fuctions that we are supposed to do are: starting / stopping the = relay machine or reading the various parameters to which the relay machine = is conncted. now, we are able to write to the machine like make it st= art / stop. but when it comes to reading the parameters from the relay mach ine we are not able to and we are not understanding what is going wrong, ma= ybe some of the flags needs to be activated or deactivated and since we are= novices to linux we really can't get through it. it will be very hel= pful if anyone of you could help us. we have to use 'c' as the progra= mming language, also the code below is the one that we use and it works suc= cessfully for starting / stopping the machine. #include<ter= mios.h> #include<unistd.h> #include<stdio.h> = #include<fcntl.h> #define COMPORT "/dev/ttyS0" = int main() { int fd,i,n; int buff3[50]; struct t= ermios options; int buff[]={0x01,0x05,0x00,0x02,0xFF,0x00,0x2D,0xFA= };//open int buff1[]={0x01,0x05,0x00,0x00,0xFF,0x00,0x8C,0x3A};//cl= ose int buff2[]={0x01,0x04,0x00,0x08,0x00,0x13,0x30,0x05};//read fd = open(COMPORT,O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY); fcntl(fd,F_SET= F,0); tcgetattr(fd,&options); cfsetospeed(&option,B9600= ); cfsetispeed(&option,B9600); options.c_cflag |= ( CLOCA= L | CREAD ); options.c_cflag &= PARENB; options.c_cflag &= amp;= ~PARODD; options.c_cflag &= ~CSTOP; options.c_cfl= ag &= ~CSIZE; options.c_cflag &= ~CRTSCTS; options.= c_cflag |= CS8; options.c_lflag &= ~(ICANON | ECHO | ECHOE | = ISIG); options.c_iflag |= ( INPCK | ISTRIP ); options.c_iflag= |= ( IXON | IXOFF | IXANY); options.c_oflag &= ~OPOST; = options.c_cc[VMIN]=1; options.c_cc[VTIME]=0; tcsetattr(f= d,TCSANOW,&options); tcflush(fd,TCIOFLUSH); for(i=0;i<= =7;i++) n = write(fd,&buff1[i],2); /* for(i=0= ;i<=7;i++) n = read(fd,&buff3[i],1); */ = tcdrain(fd); close(fd); return 0; } when = we tried on the similar lines and what not prmutations and combinations we = just could not read the parameters. it would either hang or just terminate.= but one thing is pretty sure that the machine is sending some bits as the = LED glows on the machine indicating the same. please reply as = soon as possible, as we need to get our project done and submit it. <= BR> thanks.

Re: Problem with mplayer playing .mpg file.
by Trideepraj Roychoudhury 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

In the current month's "Linuxforu" issue there is mpg file (it is a video file of RMS giving speech). This file runs perfectly alright with xine, but with mplayer the audio of the file runs faster then it should normally be. (I am not talking about audio-video alignment.) Has anybody had similar problem ? >>I faced the same problem with mplayer...i even >>tried to view the file with windows media player >>9.x but same problem.

Re: joining the LUG meet on 11/4/04
by Rajesh Rajani 11 Apr '04

11 Apr '04

Hi, I too would like to attend this meeting, but I had a couple of questions. 1. Generally how long do these meetings last ? Is 2 hours enough to allocate for this meeting or is it expected to take more time ? Is it possible for me to leave in the middle in case I need to leave ? >Abhishek Daga said: > > you can also probably add a wireless Access point(router/switch) to the > > LAN so people with wireless access cards can get on easily.. >[snip] > > Thats great. I will get my Access Point and all of us who have the >laptops can connect to them using our WLAN cards. 2. Are we attempting to do the Lan Party (flashmob) in this meeting ? If so then I can get my (Win XP) laptop along too. I have a wired "wan router/4 port switch" which I can bring along if necessary. Regards, Rajesh
