One simple solution is to archive the mailbox and then use formail to strip out the duplicate messages, then importing the cleaned mbox back into Mail. This approach retains all the meta information like flags and attachments and is actually quite fast. The basic procedure is:

1. Rebuild the mail box. This is probably a good idea anyway.
2. Archive the mail box. This will save a copy of your mailbox in standard mbox format which then formail can process.
3. Open a terminal window and cd to the folder containing the new mbox archive.
4 . Run the following formail command. This will create a copy of the mbox (mbox_new) with the duplicate messages removed. This will take around 5 minutes to process 80,000 messages.
formail -D 100000000 idcache < mbox -s > mbox_new
5. Open Mail and Import Mailboxes. Select the mbox_new mbox. Once it finishes importing you will now have a new folder under Import with all the non-duplicate messages. It is a good idea to rebuild the folder before moving it back to where you want.
6. Delete the archive.

This approach is much,much faster and has the advantage of working on a copy of your email data so if anything goes wrong you won’t mess up your current mailboxes.

First chmod the script so that anyone can execute it, but nobody other than root can modify it (I am assuming here that you are logged in as root, otherwise sudo).

chmod 111 /home/path_to_script

Next modify sudoer using visudo. It is a good idea to use visudo so that any change you make are updated without having to restart sudo.

# visudo

Add the following line after the root entry in sudoer

apache_user ALL = NOPASSWD: /home/path_to_script

Change the apache_user to whatever your apache user is (e.g. nobody) and then add the path to your script. You might want to add your favorite editor (mine is nano) to your export in .bashrc. You should now be able to call your script from apache without problem.

Update. Make sure that you have commented out the Defaults requiretty line in visudo or else the script won’t be run by Apache. This problem wasted a couple of hours of my time since the script would run fine from the bash shell of the apache user, but not when called by apache. I finally took a look at the log file (yes I should have done this first) and there was the problem sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo!

One surprisingly option is the xbox360 web cam. This external usb camera works without any drivers and just plugs straight in and works. I managed to pick up a brand new one on eBay for A$35. The quality is pretty good and it sits without any problems on top of my monitor. Nice work microsoft.

first ssh into the xenserver
mkdir -p /var/opt/xen/iso_import
Copy your ISO images to the /var/opt/xen/iso_import directory using scp.
Create a repository with this command:
xe sr-create name-label=ISOs type=iso device-config:location=/var/opt/xen/iso_import device-config:legacy_mode=true content-type=iso
You then need to attach the ISO library with this command (nicely not mentioned in the citrix documentation)
xe-mount-iso-sr /var/opt/xen/iso_import

You should then be able to create a VM using the .iso

The solution is to install XP from a SP2 image (luckily I had kept one), then install the drivers, and then upgrade to SP3. I hope this saves someone a bit of time.

Update. This has apparently been fixed in snow leopard. I guess another reason to update.

Xnest -geometry 1024x768 :1& DISPLAY=:1 ssh -X <HOST> gnome-session

// Generate random 32 character string
$string = md5(time());

The simple way around for this problem was to change onchange() to onclick(). The function now works in all browsers.

The solution is to specify the decimal point but remove the comma. The format to use to achieve this is $x = $number_format ($y,2,”.”,”") – the empty double quotes tell the number format function to not include the thousand separator comma.
