Shadowman on your shoulder?
Fedora on your forearm?
Tux on your tush?
We’re looking for people with Red Hat, Fedora, Creative Commons, and other awesome open source and related tattoos to feature in the magazine.
Even better, have you been thinking about getting some new geek ink but haven’t yet? Have a friend videotape it and send us the footage.
If you’re interested in showing off your ink, drop us a line.
Thanks!
The command top is a very useful tool to capture information about process running on Linux. Many times this information may need to be captured to a file. This can be done with the following command:
top -b -n1 > /tmp/top.txt
This will run top once write the output to a file and exit.
The command top can also be run so that it will give multiple reports. To run top 5 times and wait 5 seconds between each output the command would be:
top -b -n5 -d5 > /tmp/top.txt
Meet Bela Ban, a developer who began the JGroups and JBoss Cache projects. He’s now the technical lead of the JBoss clustering team, continuing the work he began as an college instructor.
Ban talks about the background of both projects, as well as upcoming developments, including increased throughput, persistence, security, remote accessibility, and other features. He also discusses the business needs that can be solved with these tools–just a small sample from his talk at JBoss World.
This is accomplished through the combination of the SIGNAL SHUTDOWN command from z/VM and /etc/inittab file in Linux. First, logon to z/VM as MAINT, then run the following command:
==> CP SET SIGNAL SHUTDOWN 180
This instructs z/VM to wait 3 minutes (180 seconds) for each guest to complete shutdown. Increase this value if there are services running that require longer to stop.
Paul Frields, Fedora Project Leader, asks:
Fedora is being used in a hundred thousand interesting places out in the real world.
* At NASA to do analysis that makes future space exploration safer.
* In studies to improve development for children with Down’s Syndrome (trisomy 21).
* At Creative Commons, to promote open content discovery, creation, and remixing.
* Powering distribution of food to the needy in Mexico.
We want to hear a story about how YOU use Fedora to do something interesting. Enriching. Educational. Enhancing. At work or in your community. How did Fedora help you achieve something special? Just reply in a comment to [his] blog.
