Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Mac, Unix/Linux and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
Binary distributions for Unison can be found here.

After installing nomachine, if you get an error connecting whereby nomachine errors out after "Negotiating link parameters"
When installing nomachine on redhat 5.3 64-bit be sure to:
- Make sure you have installed the 64-bit packages as the 32-bit ones will not work.
- add the hostname to /etc/hosts
- Check "Disable encryption of all traffic" (in configuration / advanced tab)
On Centos 32-bit:
- add the hostname to /etc/hosts
- make sure the host IP is not specified as 127.0.0.1 line
- Uncheck "Disable encryption of all traffic" (in configuration / advanced tab)
Subclipse is an Eclipse Team Provider plug-in providing support for Subversion within the Eclipse IDE. This plugin is required in order to use the recital eclipse workspace.
Each Recital table can have one or more data dictionaries to provide a central repository for constraints and other metadata.
Here's how to set up field validation for a field with a small static number of acceptable values.
Using the example.dbf table from the southwind sample database, validation can be added to the title field to ensure it matches one of a list values.
If you have access to the Recital Workbench, you can use the modify structure worksurface to add and alter your dictionary entries, including a customized error message if required.

A number of people have complained about data loss after a system crash when using Ext4. A bug report was logged. According to multiple posts by a developer of Ext4, Theodore Tso, this is due to differences in approach to security and performance issues between the two file systems.
Ext3 commits writes to disk within approximately 5 seconds - Ext4 can take from 40-150 seconds. In addition, if a system is using Ext3 and crashes before the commit takes place you will still have the previous contents of a file where under Ext4 the file will be empty. Theodore Tso feels that this is a failure at the application level and that the file system is behaving as designed and as specified by the POSIX spec (which apparently does not specify what is supposed to happen when a system is not shut down cleanly). His solution to the issue is to suggest proper use of fsync() and lists various scenarios/examples in post 54 of the bug report (linked above). In addition he wrote a patch that recognize the rename() situation mentioned in his post 54 yet retains the normal Ext4 behaviors and performance in the majority of cases. Also a more "proper" solution has been provided which allows the behavior of Ext3 to be retained under Ext4 by mounting it with alloc_on_commit.
A somewhat related topic is the use of on-board caching by hard drives. This behavior can be modified on most drives by using hdparm.

When using Recital on linux you can integrate your favorite linux shell commands and use then directly inside Recital using the alias command. This can be particularly useful when you ssh into a remote system and run recital. You can then issue linux commands without having to open another terminal session. Several aliased shell commands are predefined in /opt/recital/conf/config.db. You can add others to suit your needs.
On my system i have these commands aliased.
The alias command handles parameter substitition.
alias pwd "? default()"
alias cp "copy file "
alias mv "rename "
alias rm "erase "
alias ls "run('ls $0')"
alias ps "run('ps $0')"
alias grep "run('grep $0')"
alias cd "set default to $1"
alias cls "clear screen"
These commands can now be used inside the Recital command window just as you would use them at the linux prompt, including the ability to pipe commands together.
ls -l | grep .prg ps -elf | grep db.exeThe run() function that is used to run the shell command as specified in the alias command will capture output and display it in a text viewer. If you want to run the command and display the contents full screen, then specify true as the third parameter to the run().
run("command", true, true)
The arguments to run() are as follows.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | the command line to run |
| 2 | True if output should be displayed in a text area (default True) |
| 3 | True if the output should be displayed full screen (default False) |
| Macro | Description |
|---|---|
| $0 | the command line following the command name |
| $1..$n | the arguments given to the command |
If you want details about how storage devices are performing on Redhat/Centos/Fedora use the vmstat and iostat commands.
After installing Centos 5.3 the iostat command is not available. To install it use yum:
# yum install sysstat
Add this directive to your /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file and restart apache.

Recital 10 enhances the SQL optimizer. Now, production indexes with a FOR <conditions> will be used to optimize SQL SELECT statements. If a WHERE <condition> on a SELECT statement matches a FOR <condition> on an index tag, this index will be used to optimize the query. The WHERE <condition> must be an exact match with the FOR <condition>. For example;
USE accounts INDEX on account_no TAG outstanding FOR balance > 0 EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE balance > 0 Optimized using for condition on tag 'OUTSTANDING'
Recital provides a wide variety of connectivity solutions to external data sources. This article provides an overview.
