Outlook allows the user to add national holidays from multiple countries into the calendar. This is helpful for knowing when you (or your contacts) don’t have to show up for work or class.
As a default setting, Outlook never automatically downloads images from the internet. While this is a valid security measure, it means that you have to manually download them for each and every email message in your inbox that contains pictures. Here’s how to override this setting.
Have you ever received an email containing information that is valuable to you but the subject line in no way reflects the contents of the message? It makes going back and looking for that email a major pain. By changing the subject line of the received email, you can have it better reflect the information contained within.
My Day is a small window that displays your appointments, contacts and tasks for easy reference, even when Outlook isn’t open. By configuring My Day to open when your computer starts, you will always be able to keep track of what your day has planned for you.
If a network interface was configured with the wrong subnet mask as can happen when the default subnet is selected with a variable length subnet mask, a simple configuration change will fix it.
When adding or removing hardware in a Solaris system, it may be necessary to perform a reconfiguration boot. During this boot, the system discovers new hardware and recreates the file /etc/path_to_inst which contains mappings of physical devices to logical instance numbers.
Runtime control scripts start and stop services when the system changes run levels. Well constructed rc scripts handle at least start and stop as command line arguments.
UNIX treats the end of line differently than other operating systems. Sometimes when editing files in both Windows and UNIX environments, a CTRL-M character is visibly displayed at the end of each line as ^M in vi.
The default login shell for the Solaris superuser root is /sbin/sh, a statically linked Bourne shell. This shell is not dependent on any other files to run. The usual user shells like /usr/bin/ksh are dynamically linked and are dependent on library files. If the root login shell is changed from /sbin/sh to a non-static shell, root will not be able to log into the system if certain filesystems cannot mount. A simple addition to root’s /.profile will change the shell safely.
UNIX has wonderfully powerful text processing capabilities. There are numerous ways to solve the same problem. Frequently, for example, it is necessary to extract a single column of data from a text file or output stream. This tech-recipe will present several solutions to this problem.
By default, the files replaced by the application of a patch in Solaris are preserved to enable removal of the patch and restoration of the system to its pre-patched state.
