I have no idea what you're asking about: you're certainly in the wrong
newsgroup. (see the group FAQ for more information.)

No, but my english is not so good.

I have to know whether a typical file (under Linux) a symbolic link is
(in the sense of the stat()-Funktion).

You know?

OK, that's a clearer question, but it's not a C++ language question.
You know?
You are off-topic in this newsgroup. One of the groups in this FAQ
http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lit...t.html#faq-5.9
may be able to help you.

Hi, it seems that I have the following issue when trying to create a symbolic link within a script: FROM COMMAND LINE: The owner is set to myself. Thus, it works. FROM WEB PAGE: It doesn't work as expected. I know that it runs as one user at the command line and a different user from the web page. Thus, is it possible to do the following within the script:

i have a python program which attempts to call 'cls' but fails: sh: line 1: cls: command not found i tried creating an alias from cls to clear in .profile, .cshrc, and /etc/profile, but none of these options seem to work. my conclusion is that a python program that is executing does not use the shell (because it does not recognize shell aliases). is this correct?

Hey Ya'll, I basically have a bunch of unix servers with a dataset scrambled through about 10 of them. On unix, I maintain a symbolic link file tree so that for each server it appears to have access to all the files through auto mounting and so forth. I want to be able to access this same file tree from my asp.net web app and NFS - however, it's not working and I've tried everything. Microsoft Services for Unix just doesn't cut it...

Hi, I've done this before so I don't see what I could doing wrong here. I'm running mysql 5x on freebsd. I'm using the default data directory of "/var/db/mysql" In there I have several dozen mysql datasbases that are functioning perfectly. I am trying to add a database which will be stored on a different drive, therefore the entry in "/var/db/mysql" should be a symbolic link

I am trying to create a link to a file, which I can then use in an HTML page. The system is Linux on a hosted web service, running python 2.3. Other than that I have no knowledge of the system. The link is created OK, but when I try to use it as filename for the IMG TAG, it does not get displayed. The page source of the created page is pointing to the link as temp/test1.jpg

Informix recommend that symbolic links be used for chunks. These links are then used in the dbspace definition. Does this advice hold for DB2? The equivalent would be to create symbolic links for containers and use the link name when defining tablespaces. Wouldn't this allow containers to be physically moved/ renamed without having to use db2relocatedb? I haven't tested this but couldn't you just remove the link, move the container,...

*** I posted this on comp.lang.c++.moderated a couple days ago, and got a near-flippant response from someone who clearly didn't take the time to consider the import. I replied, and it's still not in evidence. Maybe it's my fault for having reacted with a little annoyance, but anyway I'm tired of waiting days for moderators, have had several posts not get through moderation at all which were certainly not inappropriate, and an email from...

Hi, I've developed a MFC program under VS 6.0. My debugger *was* working fine and I've used it often for my project. Then, one day, the errors below appear and they prevent me from using the debugger. I know that I get these warnings because the OS symbols arn't installed (a few of them loaded fine). As far as I can remember, I didn't touch anything that should mess with the debugger so I don't know how to fix it and I need to be able to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
