Sendmail - send a mail to all users
Without resorting to software like MailMan or Majordomo, it is possible for a sysadmin to send an email (such as a notification of down for maintenance) to all users on the server with sendmail easily.
- Create a list of aliases of all users of the system:
# Awk-F: '$ 3> 100 (print $ 1)' / etc / passwd> / etc / mail / ALLUSERS - Include a list of all users in / etc / aliases:
ALLUSERS:: include: / etc / mail / ALLUSERS - Run the command 'newaliases' or' make restart 'in the / etc / mail
At the end of these short steps you have to do is send a mail to ALLUSERS and all users of the server will receive your communication.
Linux ready for the Mission Triticale, word of HP
"Linux is ready for most applications," he said, noting that already many major telecommunications companies are using Linux to entrust to him their mission-critical databases. This number of companies is growing more and more. To really understand the interest of the enterprise Linux market, HP has even commissioned a market research. The results say that three out of five people in the decisions are ready to use Linux for mission-critical applications over the next two years while only one in five said that this will happen over the next five years. The study, conducted on a sample of about 600 employees in decisions, revealed that the failure, and total interest to some variants of Unix and Linux in mission-critical environments derives mainly from their non-proven security and reliability. ... From this point of view we can say that Linux is very secure. As for reliability, I believe still has some problems but is already making good progress " |

Sun ODF Plugin 1.0 for Microsoft Office
Sun has already released some time the filter / plugin for Microsoft Office (versions 2000, XP, 2003). You can download it from this link. I was just making a comment, you could make a plugin leaner? 30 Mb, so is the size of the plugin to download what has Sun? We want to distribute documents in ODF format for those not using ODF, make it easy, starting with a tiny plug. CyberTek to us we are sure that Sun has wrong.
