programming problems in UNIX/LINUX..??

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 01:32 PM PST

Hey CEans please help me in following problems.These are a part of my Linux/Unix project but I am unable to do solve them due to lack of skills in Linux. Besides, I successfully made some of these on C++, but Linux is going out of way for me. :confused: :confused:


1. Create a file called wlcc.txt with some lines and display how many lines, words and characters
are present in that file.

2. Append ten more simple lines to the wlcc.txt file created above and split the appended file into 3
parts. What will be the names of these split files? Display the contents of each of these files.
How many lines will be there on the last file?

3. Given two files each of which contains names of students. Create a program to display only those names that are found on both the files.

4. Create a program to find out the inode number of any desired.

5.Write a pipeline of commands, which displays on the monitor as well as saves the information
about the number of users using the system at present on a file called usere.ux.

6.Write a shell script that reports the logging in of a specified user within one minute after he/she
logs in. The script automatically terminates if the specified user does not login during a
specified period of time.

7.Write a shell script that accepts any number of arguments and prints them in the reverse order.


Please CEans...:cean::cean::cean::cean:

Global Manufacturer Gilwood Fabricators Selects Epicor®

Intuitive Tools to Drive Use of Business Process Management through Systems Consolidation Project

IRVINE, Calif. and LONDON — November 23, 2010 — Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Gilwood Fabricators Ltd, a worldwide designer and manufacturer of bespoke stainless steel products including pressure vessels, scrubber and skid package units, has selected the Epicor 9 next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to run its core business unit functions including sales, manufacturing, finance and quality control.

With 38 staff across two sites, and a turnover of £2.7 million (GBP), Gilwood Fabricators will use Epicor to consolidate its systems into a single ERP implementation that will eliminate the disparate applications and data stores the company currently relies on.

"We have to do a lot of double-data entry to transfer information between applications or use complicated import/export procedures, which adds a big overhead to the business," said John Gilmartin, IT manager at Gilwood Fabricators. "It also slows us down and means there is a lot of margin for error. This is complicated even further by having no consistent way to audit data and its movement through applications."

Gilwood Fabricators looked at more than 10 ERP solutions before selecting Epicor, citing it as the stand-out system with all the cutting edge features needed, but at a price point much more competitive than the tier one ERP vendors. In particular the end-to-end service-oriented architecture (SOA) implementation in Epicor will enable the extraction and manipulation of data in XML format; a key requirement.

Gilwood Fabricators will also be making extensive use of Epicor to orchestrate its processes through the Business Process Management and Service Connect applications. This will allow the company to run real-time, event-driven workflow orchestrations, process automations, and application integration, without the need for additional programming.

"We were particularly impressed with the intuitive visual way Epicor allows you to create, edit and examine business processes and workflows throughout the application," added John Gilmartin. "This, along with the overall flexibility of the solution, meant that we knew Epicor was the right choice for Gilwood Fabricators and would grow and adapt with our needs."

"Epicor is a feature rich ERP solution, and we have always sought to ensure small and medium-sized businesses have access to the tools needed to be as efficient as possible in their markets," added James Norwood, senior vice president, worldwide product marketing at Epicor. "Our customers tell is what they want to see in Epicor and we are always working to extend the features available to them."

Plextek’s image processing enhancements help medical applications exploit HD

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 06:56 AM PST

Cambridge, UK, 23rd November 2010: Plextek, the Cambridge-based electronics and communications design consultancy, today announced enhancements to its image processing suite designed to help medical device manufacturers overcome the technical challenges involved in developing mega-pixel video solutions for medical applications. These enhancements allow medical device manufacturers to create more affordable, efficient and intelligent High Definition (HD) video imaging solutions that are better tailored to individual medical use cases.

Drawing on its strong capability in video imaging, including extensive image processing software and hardware design expertise, Plextek has the skill and experience to help address the many special challenges that arise when introducing HD into medical imaging applications. These include image compression, power consumption, managing & storing images, data bandwidth for real time video transmission and camera miniaturisation.

Standard techniques such as MPEG2 and H.264 fail to address the image compression requirements of medical applications, so Plextek has developed adaptive processing techniques that apply different levels of compression to different parts of an image based on specific parameters. Key information can be retained in high definition within an area of importance; a heart valve for example or specific parts of the image showing certain texture statistics such as those associated with tumours. Other image areas are then compressed to a lower definition. This retains the inherent benefits image compression brings by reducing the overall amount of data being handled whilst still retaining the key advantages of HD.

For real-time video interaction, system latency can also be a problem. Standard video compression algorithms typically achieve high data compression but at the expense of processing delay. Making use of HD in medical applications requires real time evaluation and makes control more difficult. Plextek's low latency image compression techniques mitigate latency issues and provide enhanced system performance.

Power consumption is a serious problem for battery-powered equipment as higher resolutions require higher power processing hardware. Battery technology has not kept pace with these requirements so Plextek has developed low power designs that perform pre-processing functions in an efficient manner within the camera itself, saving power and improving performance. By analysing trade-offs across the whole system, Plextek has been able to help medical camera manufacturers successfully minimise the overall energy requirements of video systems.

The massive increase in storage requirements required by HD can also be an expensive problem. This can be addressed by automated, context-sensitive storage schemes that rely on event detection to determine whether a particular sequence of images is useful to store, and can lead to significant savings.

Graham Tootell, Project Engineer in Plextek's Image Processing group comments: "Bringing HD resolution to medical equipment is undoubtedly extremely advantageous to medical staff and their patients. It enables more accurate diagnosis of patient symptoms and significantly enhances non- invasive patient monitoring. High definition video feeds in operating theatres allow better assessment of different tissue types and the detailed recording of surgery for post operative analysis and training.

"All these advances are feasible today but bring with them new and complex technical challenges that equipment designers are struggling to overcome. Plextek has devoted its image processing capability towards developing high performance mega-pixel video technology to tackle these challenges. We are working with leading medical innovators to bring products to market that will radically improve the way that medicine is practiced and help drive medical imaging equipment forward to the next evolutionary step."

Presentation Tips

Posted: 23 Nov 2010 02:02 AM PST

Most of the Engineers have to present a project in their college , here are the tips I got for you guys. I will tell you why I started this thread!!

1. Go in a formal/business attire. Dont buy a new one if you have to present your project, wear something in which you are very comfortable in.

2. Dont stand as you are standing in school prayer, just relax and stand according to your comfort on both the legs.

3. Look at the last row of the people sitting , everyone assumes you are looking at them.
*Dont look at your guide alone or a good looking girl/boy in the class you are going to make mistake*

4. Dont read the presentation for the audience , they can do it. If you forget something read it while doing so read in and look at people and explain it , dont show your back and read it.


Post your tips too!!
I will post the story for this thread later!
