Hello friends,
I am a IT businessman since 1997, after my graduation, I am heading a software and IT
services company in Singapore. I do several freelance,
projects on emerging technologies. I assit, budding business, IT, and now Linux
professionals to start business in Singapore and California.
I have a strong presence in these two cities for nearly 8 years. I represent several IT
and Business consulting firms as Senior Consultant
and Project lead and help them seek GRANTS, INVESTMENTS, JOBS, from several government
agencies (in Singapore government support to local and
foreign talents are quite straight forward and easy) and other sectors both in Singapore
and United States.
I wish to start (infact started) a Linux Solutions and Consultancy division within my
existing framework in the US and Singapore, (We all can
explore the structure, product and services related to the business anlayzing the strength
& weeknesses) I can organize funding locally but
looking for young, innovative talents, domain experts to shake hands (as I am not a TOTAL
linux guru) we can design, develop and create a
huge academy down the line (I am fairly a successful IT technopreneur & business man
in my Career in this last 8 years). I wish to discuss
this with individuals who are interested to have a one to one chat to take this project
forward.
Candidates looking for a JOB can work for your own company in US / Singapore. Work VISA,
Company, Start up capital, connections and network
is available abundant except talents in this field. Interested friends, feel free to
contact me at linuxeffort(a)yahoo.com (Open for any age
group). As an Indian, I normally help my fellow citizens worldwide as much as I can. Note:
Please send your personal email address while your
communicate back to me.
Dear Friends, I live in Singapore, I am silent member of this group, If anyone is
interested in any of the opportunities explained, we can
meet in SG and discuss the possible happenings in the industry and I can open opputunities
for budding technoprenuers from India.
Regards,
Albert H

New subject: [ILUG-BOM]How do I redirect streams ?
Hi all,
I need some help from you guys.
What I want to do is redirect the streams.
For eg.
Suppose we give ls > /dev/null,
it redirects the STDOUT to /dev/null, but the STDERR
remains to be console.
Suppose I have a program which prints numbers from 1
to 999999 on STDOUT and a random string on STDERR for
each corresponding number in STDOUT.
Now let that program be called myprog.
I run it in the background on the shell prompt.
# myprog &
1 sdfsf
2 sdsdf
.....
7563 ...
Now, I want to redirect the STDOUT and STDERR of the
running background process to some files , say r1.txt
or r2.txt without stopping or affecting the process.
Inshort, the streams should be redirected at runtime.
Please help me out... any trick or utility program or
anything that I can do for it is welcome.
Thanx in advance.
Akhilesh.

Places to look at
Bash Programming Howto - http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-
HOWTO.html#toc3
Advanced Bash Scripting Guide - http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-
redirection.html
You should be able to take it forward from there :)

All these solutions are for the time before starting the program
execution.
I got two suggestions:
1. Use calls like dup and dup2
2. Use things like ./prog >r1.txt 2>r2.txt
But for using the first solution, I need to modify program source which I
dont have.
The second solution is worthwhile only before I start the program. But
what I need to do is readjust streams at runtime. For eg., suppose a
program is running and I see some interesting output on some screen. I
want to redirect it to a file now... How do I do that, without stopping
the process !

You can do the following:
./prog >r1.txt 2>r2.txt &

DISCLAIMER: I don't really know what your intention is. Moreover, I
have never done this, but I _think_ it could work ...
Basically, what you want to do is go and control the specific streams
attached to a running process. I don't know how to do that, but
there's another way, by building a wrapper around this program.
This wrapper could be a simple perl script or maybe a C program. It
should call the original program, and take control of its stderr and
stdout, and connect them to its own stderr and stdout in the default
state. Additionally, it should keep scanning for SIGNALs from you. Now
map different functions to different SIGNALs, which will redirect the
original programs strings to wherever you want ...

New subject: How do I export screens ?
Hi all,
Suppose I am working on machine A. I have a X running on A. I open a gui
program like gvim on A. I started doing some work in gvim. I keep it open
and now I move physically to machine B. I also have an X running on B.
Now, I want to import the gvim window in which I was working to machine
B's display. I want to do it without losing the state of gvim window
(i.e whatever I typed there on A.) How do I do it ?
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
Akhilesh.

AFAIK, that's not possible without a drastic re-implementation of the
X server as well as gvim. You might be able to get the window on
machine B, in principle. But how do you migrate the state of gvim
itself? The contents of the buffer, for example, are completely
unaware of X and vice versa.

New subject: How do I export screens ?
Hi all,
Are there any projects going on where the system uses some fundae as
mentioned by SameerDS (which talks of rewrite of X) ? And I feel that the
X server just does the task of rendering the application... The buffer and
all are maintained at the application level ? I am not very well aware of
the X Windows specification, but I think that the X server just renders
the windows and handles the windowing event.. That means that GUI level
state maintainance is the thing done by X server and any place where the
state is maintained, it is maintained in a well defined format with fixed
state variables. Is there any mechanism which allows us to export this
state to some other X server which will later rerenders the state (GUI)
on that X server terminal ? Sorry if I am doing some big "gooch" in the
understanding of the whole system ? Also, if someone knows a small,brisk,
detailed document which explained the working of X windows system from
head-to-toe without getting into the messy X Windows system specification,
please post the link !
Thanx in advance.
Akhi.
PS: I am not removing the following reply as it is relevant and imp to
understand the above problem.

The closest Akhilesh can get is VNC I guess. Mandrake in perticular has
great support for it, you can export the currect session using VNC, which
I have not yet figured out how to do in SuSE for example [KDE's krfb sucks
as it only allows to connect to your desktop within an hour of creating an
invitation; is there any Gnome counterpart? Though KDE's Remote Desktop
Connection Client is completely awesome!]
Mandrake is supposed to be the easiest distro for newbies, with URPMI
matching apt from Debian with some very nice repositories. I am surprised
people here dont use it much. Unlike SuSE and probably Redhat its
completely GPL too.
