Cron Job Basics
Operating Systems

Cron is the name of the program that enables *nix users to execute commands or scripts automatically at a specified time/date. It is normally used by sys admins, to run back-ups or do other repetitive tasks like the command makewhatis, which builds a search database for the man -k command. However it can be used for anything. A common use for it today is connecting to the internet and downloading your email.
For today's example, which will be used to teach you the basics of what a cron job does, I will use the command:
rm /home/username/htdocs/*~
This command tells the machine to delete all of my backup files. Generally, *nix-based machines put a ~ after the file name to denote a backup. For example, if my machine froze while I was editing a file named work.php, the system would save a file named work.php~. If I didn't notice this, and work.php had database configuration information in it which would include my database name and password, then a hacker may be able to access the... View In Full

Selecting Your First Programming Language
Programming
|
If you are stuck wondering were to start in your programming adventure this is the article for you!
Deciding what your needs are
Many times on forums and in chat rooms I hear the same question over and over. �What programming language should I learn?� but the answer is different for every person. However there are some common questions you can ask yourself to figure out a good starting point.
�What do I want to accomplish?�
First you should start to think about what you want to create when coding. Do you want to make cool websites, and web applications, or maybe a quick windows application to calculate the amount of paint needed for a room? What about creating video, flash, and 3D graphics. There are languages designed to do all this and more! You just need to figure out what your needs and wants are. Do some research on popular languages and find out what types of programs other people have written with them.
! Keep in mind !
When you first start coding it is mo... View In Full

Love the avatar!!! Awesome

Kind regards,

Oooohhh, that's good then.
What I usually do with like ruby scripts and stuff is just have it get input from
the user, but not store it or anything. Like...
puts "Press Enter to exit"
gets #That's ruby for, "GET String"
Just a suggestion if you want to make more portable code. :>

Well what's that PAUSE thing for? Is that just a Windows thing?
When I ran the program with that in there, it gave me a bash-style error that said

|
Ooooohhh... So you just took the screenshot from wherever you got the code from?

Cool, man! Thanks, was a bit worried what you would think of it.
