Open Source XML Programming Tutorial

by Steve Litt

Hi all, Because most XML books and websites force the you to recite Microsoft incantations, I wrote an all Open Source XML programming tutorial using Linux and Xerces-Java from Apache Software Foundation. It thoroughly covers coding of DOM, SAX, and DTD's. http://www.troubleshooters.com/tpromag/200103/200103.htm Enjoy!

by Peter Nikolla

I would like to thank everyone that helped me with the setting of date/time. I think the hwclock command did the trick. thanx Peter N.

Once that is right, it will become clear what is wrong. If you are dual booting, you may be forced to set the hardware clock to local civil time. That is no disaster, but you have to think harder to get it right. I think 'hwclock' should only be used to make small adjustments if the clock drifts after being set correctly. I am not sure what 'date' is for in SET! mode (as opposed to DISPLAY mode). Maybe in case you need to back-date some documents without re-booting. > I set it using date 030310152001 for 3/3/2001 10:15. I almost wrote back "thou fool, hast permuted fields", but the 'man date' page seems to agree with you. Can anybody think of a more obtuse way to write a date? Sometimes Unix is embarrasing. > until I reboot the box. At that time it changes to some other time.

Correct local or correct UCT? -- -- Keith Wright <kwright(a)free-comp-shop.com> Programmer in Chief, Free Computer Shop <http://www.free-comp-shop.com> --- Food, Shelter, Source code. ---

The adjtime file needs a rational setting, which it gets by noting the drift in hwclock time v. "real" time, which assumes that the real (system) time is accurate (nntp service?). This may help... 1. Get you system time set correctly. 2. run hwclock --systohc --utc (you determine if the --utc is right for you. 3. Wait a day or 2 while you system is still up. Don't reboot. 4. Check you system time & make sure it's right. 5. Do step #2 again. Any hwclock time drift will be reflected in the adjtime file. Bill

Re: [Wlug] Set Date/Time

by Mike Gorse

Oops; discard my previous message; I was not thinking at all or reading carefully... Could your time zone be set incorrectly? Make sure /etc/localtime is linked to the correct file (/usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern, for instance), and be sure that your os isn't configured to use gmt when you don't have your clock set to gmt or vice versa. --Michael Gorse, WPI CS '01 / ICQ:22583968 / http://www.wpi.edu/~mgorse/ --

Re: [Wlug] Set Date/Time

by Mike Gorse

Peter, Using date to set the date doesn't automatically modify the cmos clock. Try running hwclock --systohc after running date to set the hardware clock. Read the hwclock manpage for more information. --Michael Gorse, WPI CS '01 / ICQ:22583968 / http://www.wpi.edu/~mgorse/ --

Set Date/Time

Hi, I am having a problem setting the date/time on my Linux box. I set it using date 030310152001 for 3/3/2001 10:15. Everyting seems fine until I reboot the box. At that time it changes to some other time. I checked my CMOS and the time is correct. What am I doing wrong? thanx for your help. Peter N.

UNIX Developer Positions

by B.J. Herbison

HighGround Systems has a couple of positions open for experienced UNIX developers. Our current storage resource management products support several versions of UNIX, and we expect to do more UNIX work when our purchase by Sun Microsystems is completed. Two of the current positions have UNIX in the title, but most of the open positions list UNIX as a relevant technology. Please send me your resume if you are interested in one of the positions. B.J.

Re: [Wlug] Cable Modem

by Stephen C. Daukas

I use the SB4100 - it came with the service (Shrewsbury Town Cable) and the cost is, presumably, bundled with the monthly fee as there was no purchase option. Shrewsbury does swap Modems from time to time... This modem works fine for me (500 Up and Down) but then again, I think of it as just a pipe fitting connecting my LAN (via router) to Shrewsbury Cable. ;-) At 05:50 PM 2/28/2001 -0500, you wrote: >I'm about to take the plunge and get hooked up to Charter Cable for >internet access.
