Using the TALK Command in UNIX to Find out Who Is Online and Who Can

Using the TALK command in UNIX UNIX allows users to talk to other UNIX users. This is most useful on Beast, TCNJ's main server. To find out who is online and who can talk Type finger at the BEAST prompt. Anyone whose name is preceded with an asterisk is unable to take messages. Turning off your message-block so you can talk. Your UNIX account, when created, is set up to refuse people messages, or TALK requests. If you would like to turn this block off, do the following. 1. Log onto your account. 2. At the prompt type pico .login (the period is important). 3. This will bring up your login 'script' in the PICO editor. 4. Using the arrow keys of your computer, bring the cursor to the start of the top line of code. Hit the Return key to drop it down one line. 5. Bring the cursor back to the first line and type mesg y . 6. Then hold the control key and press x. 7. The server will ask you if you want to save the file. Press Y. 8. Hit return to return to the prompt again, and that's it. 9. Now when you log in next time, and every time after that, you will be accessible to everyone on your server. Talk If you find someone you wish to talk to, who has no asterisk, then type TALK <USERNAME> (for example, talk pan). People at the other terminal will receive a message that you want to engage in conversation, and if they do, they will send the same command to TALK you back. If successful the screen will divide in two, with your half being the top. Your partner will be confined to the bottom section. Your words will appear to him/her as you type them. To quit TALK, hold the Control key and press C ..

DC Console Using DC Console Application Design Software
DC Console Using DC Console Application Design Software DC Console is easy-to-use, application design software developed specifically to work in conjunction with AML’s DC Suite. Create. Distribute. Collect. Every LDX10 handheld computer comes with DC Suite, which includes seven (7) pre-developed applications for common data collection tasks. Now LDX10 users can use DC Console to modify these applications, or create their own from scratch. AML 800.648.4452 Made in USA www.amltd.com Introduction This document briefly covers how to use DC Console and the features and settings. Be sure to read this document in its entirety before attempting to use AML’s DC Console with a DC Suite compatible device. What is the difference between an “App” and a “Suite”? “Apps” are single applications running on the device used to collect and store data. In most cases, multiple apps would be utilized to handle various operations. For example, the ‘Item_Quantity’ app is one of the most widely used apps and the most direct means to take a basic inventory count, it produces a data file showing what items are in stock, the relative quantities, and requires minimal input from the mobile worker(s). Other operations will require additional input, for example, if you also need to know the specific location for each item in inventory, the ‘Item_Lot_Quantity’ app would be a better fit. Apps can be used in a variety of ways and provide the LDX10 the flexibility to handle virtually any data collection operation. “Suite” files are simply collections of individual apps. Suite files allow you to easily manage and edit multiple apps from within a single ‘store-house’ file and provide an effortless means for device deployment.

How to Find out the IP Address of an Omron
Communications Middleware/Network Browser How to find an Omron Controller’s IP address Valin Corporation | www.valin.com Overview • Many Omron PLC’s have Ethernet ports or Ethernet port options • The IP address for a PLC is usually changed by the programmer • Most customers do not mark the controller with IP address (label etc.) • Very difficult to communicate to the PLC over Ethernet if the IP address is unknown. Valin Corporation | www.valin.com Simple Ethernet Network Basics IP address is up to 12 digits (4 octets) Ex:192.168.1.1 For MOST PLC programming applications, the first 3 octets are the network address and the last is the node address. In above example 192.168.1 is network address, 1 is node address. For devices to communicate on a simple network: • Every device IP Network address must be the same. • Every device node number must be different. Device Laptop EX: Omron PLC 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.1 Device Laptop EX: Omron PLC 127.27.250.5 192.168.1.1 Device Laptop EX: Omron PLC 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.1 Valin Corporation | www.valin.com Omron Default IP Address • Most Omron Ethernet devices use one of the following IP addresses by default. Omron PLC 192.168.250.1 OR 192.168.1.1 Valin Corporation | www.valin.com PING Command • PING is a way to check if the device is connected (both virtually and physically) to the network. • Windows Command Prompt command. • PC must use the same network number as device (See previous) • Example: “ping 172.21.90.5” will test to see if a device with that IP address is connected to the PC.

What is the impact of COVID-19 on specific population groups in which persons with disabilities are overrepresented? a. prisoners with disabilities b. persons with disabilities without adequate housing OVERVIEW While the COVID-19 pandemic threatens all members of society, persons with disabilities are disproportionately impacted due to attitudinal, environmental and institutional barriers that are reproduced in the COVID-19 response. Many persons with disabilities have pre-existing health conditions that make them more susceptible to contracting the virus, experiencing more severe symptoms upon infection, leading to elevated levels of death. During the COVID-19 crisis, persons with disabilities who are dependent on support for their daily living may find themselves isolated and unable to survive during lockdown measures, while those living in institutions are particularly vulnerable, as evidenced by the overwhelming numbers of deaths in residential care homes and psychiatric facilities.

What Is UNIX? the Directory Structure Basic Commands Find
What is UNIX? UNIX is an operating system like Windows on our computers. By operating system, we mean the suite of programs which make the computer work. It is a stable, multi-user, multi-tasking system for servers, desktops and laptops. The Directory Structure All the files are grouped together in the directory structure. The file-system is arranged in a hierarchical structure, like an inverted tree. The top of the hierarchy is traditionally called root (written as a slash / ) Basic commands When you first login, your current working directory is your home directory. In UNIX (.) means the current directory and (..) means the parent of the current directory. find command The find command is used to locate files on a Unix or Linux system. find will search any set of directories you specify for files that match the supplied search criteria. The syntax looks like this: find where-to-look criteria what-to-do All arguments to find are optional, and there are defaults for all parts. where-to-look defaults to . (that is, the current working directory), criteria defaults to none (that is, select all files), and what-to-do (known as the find action) defaults to ‑print (that is, display the names of found files to standard output). Examples: find . –name *.txt (finds all the files ending with txt in current directory and subdirectories) find . -mtime 1 (find all the files modified exact 1 day) find . -mtime -1 (find all the files modified less than 1 day) find . -mtime +1 (find all the files modified more than 1 day) find .

Unique Identifier for Staff (UID Staff) Overview
Unique Identifier for Staff (UID Staff) Overview The intent of this document is to provide an overview of the Unique Identifier for Staff (UID Staff) system prior to working in the UID Staff System. After reviewing this information, please review the training materials that are available on the UID Staff Training website (http://www.ncpublicschools.org/cedars/uniqueid/staff/training/) for instructions on how to complete the processes of the Staff UID System. Staff UID Overview • The Unique Identifier for Staff System (UID Staff) will assign a unique identifier to Staff who participate in the North Carolina public school system. • Unique IDs follow staff between school districts and remain valid even if they move out of state and then return to a NC public school. • Assigning unique identifiers is the first step in DPI’s multi-stage effort to create the NC Common Education Data Analysis and Reporting System (CEDARS). • UID Staff is built on the eScholar Uniq-ID® for Staff product. Overview of UID Staff Process The UID Staff process includes the following 8 steps: 1. Generate CEDARS Staff file from LEA/Charter School Payroll System • Instructions for generating this file can be found at: http://www.ncpublicschools.org/docs/cedars/uniqueid/staff/training/creating-extracts.pdf 2. Upload CEDARS Staff file into UID Staff and Initiates Data Validation • This file can be loaded into the Training Environment (https://cedarstrain.schools.nc.gov/staffid/) so that you can check for errors before loading into production. 3. Download Fix Errors Report (if data errors are found by the UID Staff System) 4.

Netcat − Network Connections Made Easy
Netcat − network connections made easy A lot of the shell scripting I do involves piping the output of one command into another, such as: $ cat /var/log/messages | awk '{print $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12,$13,$14,$15}' | sed −e 's/\[[0−9]*\]:/:/' | sort | uniq | less which shows me the system log file after removing the timestamps and [12345] pids and removing duplicates (1000 neatly ordered unique lines is a lot easier to scan than 6000 mixed together). The above technique works well when all the processing can be done on one machine. What happens if I want to somehow send this data to another machine right in the pipe? For example, instead of viewing it with less on this machine, I want to somehow send the output to my laptop so I can view it there. Ideally, the command would look something like: $ cat /var/log/messages | awk '{print $4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9,$10,$11,$12,$13,$14,$15}' | sed −e 's/\[[0−9]*\]:/:/' | sort | uniq | laptop That exact syntax won't work because the shell thinks it needs to hand off the data to a program called laptop − which doesn't exist. There's a way to do it, though. Enter Netcat Netcat was written 5 years ago to perform exactly this kind of magic − allowing the user to make network connections between machines without any programming. Let's look at some examples of how it works. Let's say that I'm having trouble with a web server that's not returning the content I want for some reason.
