  1. Place to post status and whereabouts.... on Technology In Katrina's Wake · · Score: 1

    Hurricane Katrina has displaced thousands of people. We've seen a barage of people desperately trying to find out if their friends and family are okay. Usually survivors think to connect with their closest relatives but they are often unaware that there are many other people who are concerned about them and their safety.

    StillSafe.net is a website dedicated to helping people find out if their loved ones have made it out safely. v Most visitors to StillSafe.net are desperate to find out if someone they know is safe. Often even when victims have made it to safety, they have contacted their family and think everyone who matters knows; but there are still people out there who may be worried sick about them and haven't yet received word of their condition.

    Please help us to get the word out that StillSafe.net is seeking to assist people find out where their loved ones are and it's imperative that survivors status and condition be posted so that those people who are so worried about them can get relief.

    For those who are extremely motivated, there are many survivors staying in local motels and hotels. Contacting these people and assisting in posting their information would be a great help.

    Thanks so much for your help!!!

    I should mention that the ftp and sftp problems where up only. Down seems to always work fine.

    I also use tmobile and the sierra aircard 750 with Mandrake linux.

    I've got it working but the speed isn't great. I've used ssh successfully. I've had some issues with ftp and sftp which I haven't quite solved yet. I only use it when I need it and that's usually when I don't have time to solve these problems.

  4. Re:I've got my own set of scripts on What Software Do You Use for Unix Backups? · · Score: 1

    I'd be very interested in the script that lumps all of the backup file together so that they can be burned.

    Currently I have a script to do backups that pipes into split. It works great but when everything is finished I have to create various groups of files to be included on burned cds if their size is smaller than 700MB.

    It would be nice to have a script organise the various files together in folders which max out at 700.

    How can download the script?
