The shell (tcsh I guess) eats all of those characters. They just tell the shell how to parse what you typed into the arguments for the exec() function. For example rm "somefile". The rm program only sees somefile, not "somefile" as its first argument.
Also remember that the program will never see your quotes or backslashes which is why all the things you tried are equivalent to rm -rfp. -- tells rm "no more options follow", and./-p gets passed in directly and it doesn't look like an option to rm.
There's nothing magical going on here, it's just the difference between escapes that are processed by the shell before the program ever sees them and correct parameter syntax.
It's ironic that Mac OS X shutdown is basically like pulling the plug out of the wall on the Unix side.
Apple was an early user of soft shutdown and case buttons that interacted with the OS. Windows 3.11 and earlier didn't have software shutdown. You know, because Windows is just a DOS application anyway;).
The fact that Office documents have been in a proprietary format in the past is actually unimportant, since the interfaces to the applications (and hence their documents) are well documented
So you can read Office documents with other programs as long as you have Office and MS dev tools?
The only thing SCSI really has going for it is daisy-chainability and support for lots of drives on one port
hot swapping, designed to run 24/7 reliably, better vendor support, fibre channel / SAN, Ultra320, forward and backward compatibility, wider range of RAID hardware/controllers, internal and external connections, track record in servers
I was pretty much just talking out of my ass, so feel free to ignore me. My employer doesn't use either and I'm out of date on my Zeus knowledge. We don't need virtual hosting.
Apache has a lot of mods, documentation, and community support. That's what I was thinking of in terms of flexibility. Isn't Zeus also closed source? I imagine the gap has narrowed as Zeus has developed. Also, Jim Frost already mentioned problems using Apache with app servers.
Well you could consider it one application. It's not really. It's essentially a complete generalized back end content system that consists of many servers. MQ provides asynchronous interprocess communication on the back end as well as content-based routing and load management. I don't have an informed opinion on DB2 vs. Oracle vs. whatever other than I have complained about DB2's agressive lock escalation. I have no say in DBMS software.
The interest is primarily hardware cost (the big Suns cost over $1m, and EMC arrays are likewise). Another issue is that when you have a few big machines and you do a deployment or maintenance, it's a struggle for the other boxes to pick up the slack. If you had more small servers, you could upgrade one at a time without impacting capacity as much.
What do you think about handling capacity? Do you see sites with a lot of spare capacity? We'd have trouble meeting demand if we lost a server during prime hours (and it happens).

If you compile that and then type "./args -p \-p", you'll see this output:
argument #0 is: ./args
argument #1 is: -p
argument #2 is: -p

You can make relativistic comments like that all day but it still doesn't change the fact that MS has locked people into their file formats!

You do see the folly in that, right?

Yes, apparently hostway.com, his hosting service, can run a web server :).

Sometimes there are two levels of app servers between IIS and MQ Series, and it's not always IPlanet.
