I have a retirement account with several groups of stocks in my 401k plan. If I log on every day and manually copy the numbers in an excel spreadsheet I can make a chart showing the trend over a given time period (in days, months or years).

Quicken lets me pull down data and display as monthly points, but not daily.

Does anyone make such an app?

I bought a Verisign security certificate for a new domain.   I've set up a few sites with ssl before this, so I was careful to enter the FQDN in my csr request.  A day later Verisign sent the cert in an email, which was copied into a sitename.crt file on the server.   I made an unecrypted version of the key so I wouldn't have to enter the passphrase every time Apache starts.  (yes I entered the passphrase, which was accepted)

So - I start the server without errors.  When I access the site using https://sitename, the browser returns a certificate mismatch error.   The cert details appear with localhost, localdomain, ect, which is not what I entered when creating the csr & key. 

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:443>
    ServerName sitename.department.domain.ext
    ServerAdmin abc@123.def
    DocumentRoot /www/virtualhosts/sitename
    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/sitename-error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/sitename-access_log common
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/sitename.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/sitename_unencrypted.key
    SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/ssl/crt/intermediate.crt
</VirtualHost>


Is there a way to print out the details listed in a crt file, from command line?   Can I do the same with the original csr file?

I'm having trouble starting VNC Server.    I am currently logged in as root and myusername is a valid account on the system. 

/etc/sysconfig/vncservers looks like this:

VNCSERVERS="1:myusername"
VNCSERVERS[1]="-geometry 1280x1024"

Issued the following commands:
chkconfig vncserver on
service vncserver start

Starting VNC server: 1:myusername   [FAILED]

I've searched for a vnc log but there doesn't appear to be one.  There are no errors in /var/log/messages relating to vnc (and nothing at the time I issue the above commands). 

Is there a way to output vncserver errors to a file?   I also tried issuing service vncserver start as a regular user but received a permissions error on service.

Is not a program.

When a new device is installed will XP add the new driver to it's drivers.cab file?  Where are the new drivers stored on the system? 

My mom bought a new compaq to replace the one which was stolen before xmas.  Default installations come with loads of useless crapware installed.  Instead of uninstalling each program one by one, and having lots of unused files left behind I decided to wipe the drive and install a fresh copy of 2k.  Well.  No 2k drivers exist so I had to install a fresh copy of XP.  I found all drivers except for the USB Controller on compaq's support page. 

I called their suppor desk only to be told I would not be eligible for assistance, since I wiped the drive.  My only choice was to reinstall the default image (including the forementioned bloatware).  On top of that I discovered compaq's support is run out of India, not the US where I purchased the PC.  If I had known this I wouldn't have  purchased it.  I'm so sick of layoffs due to this kind of thing.  The man was nice, and I'm sure deserving of a good job but so are we.  And we bought the stinking thing here.  Probably someone reading this knows someone who was layed off due to outsourcing in the US.  It's wrong and I will be careful not to support compaq in the future. 

ANYWAY...

Drivers.

I'm reinstalling the default image, only to snag all the drivers I'll need for a fresh installation of XP.  What's the best way to find the drivers that compaq installs with it's default XP os?  Could I zip up a folder, would it be that easy (I hope)?

Microcenter had a sale on older processors so I picked up an AMD Sempron 2600+. After putting the system together it wouldn't boot.. The message was something like "could not find device /dev/hda5; exiting to shell" then it went to a $ prompt and stopped.

So I put in my SuSE disk, rebooted and surprise surprise.. A box appeared with the text: "Cool system. But you are installing 32-bit software on a 64-bit computer.. continue?"

I had no idea Semprons were 64-bit.

Well.. I'm "updating" my installation so hopefully it will boot afterwords.

While visiting family this weekend I found a 160gb Western-digital IDE drive for $89.  Now that I have two matching 160gb drives I'd like to set them as RAID. 

SuSE has software raid (via LVM) but my class instructer didn't think that was really fit for use, he recommended hardware controllers.    So, have any of you used IDE RAID before?  Do I need to spend a lot of money or will the $25 cards work fine for my needs?  Should I plan on buying two cards in case one of them fails?
