			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes you want to be able to run a script through the interactive Python Shell that comes with IDLE, but using a different text editor (such as <a href="http://www.ultraedit.com">UltraEdit</a>). In this case, you want to run IDLE from another program. To do so:</p>

<pre><code>idle.py -r scriptname.py
</code></pre>

<p>or</p>

<pre><code>idle.pyw -r scriptname.py
</code></pre>

<p>Strangely, the <code>-r</code> command-line argument doesn&#8217;t appear to be in the <a href="http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/idle.html">Python documentation for IDLE</a> at all.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> The idle.py script is typically located at <code>C:\Python31\Lib\idlelib</code>, or very close to it.</p>

<p>Some other notes on specific to UltraEdit:</p>

<ul>
<li>An example Command Line is: <code>C:\Python31\Lib\idlelib\idle.pyw -r "%f"</code>.</li>
<li>For Program Type, set to Dos Program, not Windows Program.</li>
<li>Do not capture any Command Output.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are using the <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&amp;uid=swg24000647">IBM WebSphere MQ Q Program</a>, also known as <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&amp;uid=swg24000647">MA01</a>, you may receive the following errors on Windows or Linux:</p>

<pre><code>Error loading MQ library  RC(11)
Error loading MQ library  RC(126)
</code></pre>

<p>For both Windows and Linux, you simply have to download one of the appropriate <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24009961">WebSphere MQ V6.0 Clients</a> (<a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24009961">MQC6</a>) or <a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019253">WebSphere MQ V7.0 Clients</a> (<a href="http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24019253">MQC7</a>). Free registration is required for these downloads.</p>

<p>On Windows, reboot your system after installing the Client libraries but before using the Q program. On Linux, you should add the command-line parameter <code>-l mqic</code> to the Q program for it to correctly find the necessary libraries.</p>

<p>If you have difficulties finding the installation instructions for WebSphere MQ like I did, you can grab the WebSphere MQ Quick Beginnings book for your appropriate operating system for <a href="http://www-2000.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/library/v60/quick_beginnings.html">WebSphere 6.0</a> or <a href="http://www-2000.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/library/quickbeginnings.html">WebSphere 7.0</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are installing <a href="http://centos.org/">CentOS</a> or <a href="http://www.redhat.com/rhel/">Red Hat Enterprise Linux</a> on a machine without a DVD or CD drive, then your best option is to create a <a href="http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Installation_Guide/ch02s04.html#sect-New_Users-Alternative_Boot_Methods">bootable USB drive</a>. The Red Hat manual provides instructions for Linux, and it is simple to translate these instructions for Windows:</p>

<ul>
<li>Download <a href="http://www.chrysocome.net/dd">dd for Windows</a>, as well as <code>diskboot.img</code> from your OS distribution media.</li>
<li>Write the disk image to your USB drive using the command <code>dd if=diskboot.img of=\\.\x: --progress</code>, where <code>x</code> is the Windows drive letter of your USB drive. The <code>--progress</code> flag is optional and lets you see that the records are actually copying to the USB drive.</li>
</ul>

<p>That&#8217;s it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not sure why I&#8217;m getting this from within a <a href="http://www.vmware.com">VMWare</a> session when running <a href="http://www.mysql.com/products/database/cluster/">MySQL Cluster</a>:</p>

<pre><code>WARNING: timerHandlingLab now: 4194521 sent: 4194399 diff: 122

</code></pre>

<p>How can I increase the watchdog timer? This is definitely a problem that seems exclusive to running in a virtual machine, but I need to do so for simulation purposes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I did a minimal installation of FreeBSD a long time ago. At the time, I did not install manual pages. To later install these man pages, I should be able to do the following:</p>

<ol>
<li>Run sysinstall.</li>
<li>Select Distributions.</li>
<li>Select man.</li>
<li>Pick an FTP mirror and install.</li>
</ol>

<p>Unfortunately, I received the following error message:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Warning:  Can&#8217;t find the `7.2-RELEASE-p2&#8242; distribution on this FTP server.  You may need to visit a different server for
  the release you are trying to fetch or go to the Options
  menu and to set the release name to explicitly match what&#8217;s
  available on ftp.freebsd.org (or set to &#8220;any&#8221;).</p>
</blockquote>

<p>To solve this issue, I went under the options for sysinstall and set the Release Name to <code>7.2-RELEASE</code>, instead of <code>7.2-RELEASE-p2</code>.</p>
