Help, my browser won't load!
Generally, if you click the browser icon and it doesn't do anything, or gives you an error that mentions profiles, there's probably a previous instance of the browser that didn't clean up after itself. The first thing to check is if you have the browser open on another workstation. If you're logged into two workstations and try to start a browser on both of them, it will cause an error because the application wants to ensure that there is only one copy of it running…text/html2021-09-17T15:43:39+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)asmt2

Using the pickup script with your course
What it is
The pickup script is a companion to the submit script.
Pickup allows you to place files for pickup in your course directories such that those files cannot be read by your students until they run this script. At that time an entry is logged showing the date, time, user and directory that was picked up. If your students attempt to kill the script (say, after it copies the files and before it logs that it has) that attempt will also be logged…text/html2021-09-17T04:03:42+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)asmt2

Ssh between machines a CS
It is quite simple to get to a machine in the department remotely from another machine in the department. All machines in the labs, classroom and faculty offices should already have an ssh client installed on them and those machines which allow remote access are running an ssh daemon to accept incoming connections.````````````````````text/html2010-12-06T15:30:28+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)kill_a_process

Monitoring and Killing Processes
Any process you own you can kill (this is not a moral judgment, just a fact of life in Unix and Linux).
Killing an offending process graphically
If the machine itself is still responsive (but one or more windows perhaps aren't) you can try one of the Graphical Process Managers on our system.$$xfce4-taskmanager$$````````$$gnome-system-monitor$$````````text/html2010-01-27T13:48:25+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)2009-12-09_hopper_holiday

The Mythical Man-Month
by Fred Brooks
The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures. Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself...
