Where can I buy individual keyboard keys?

I tried using stickers but they end up looking shitty. I need them for a project I'm working on that isn't computer related. They're just gonna end up used as buttons, but I'd like to use keyboard keys for this.

Where can I buy individual keyboard keys?

I'm trying to get a handful of lower case keyboard keys, but I can't find any place that sells them individually. I found one site that sells individual keys, but you have to know the make/model. I don't care what they keys go to and I don't know what make/model might have lower case by...

Any actual good tutorials out there on how to setup SMTP auth?

If its Postfix you can pretty easily get around the ISP blocking port 25 by enabling submission (port 587) in /etc/postfix/master.cf. You can run this along side the regular port 25 SMTP. This is a pretty common fix and I'm sure you should be able to do this on other MTAs as well.

Email server problem - Sending email from remote host.

There are a lot of ISPs that block port 25 traffic these days. Enabling submissions (587) on postfix usually works around this. You should be able to do this on just one server though.

Efficient replacement for "find"?

As far as a straight speed search I can't think of anything faster than find. Its pretty lightweight as is. If the files you are scanning are spread across multiple disks you could run find's in parallel on each one assuming you aren't CPU bound. With that said, depending on what you are...

nix Blogs?

Was hoping to get some recommendations on some blogs to add to my RSS. I'm mainly looking for stuff that pertains to the administrative side of the LAMP stack... SysAdmin stuff in general is alright, but there seems to be a definite lack of good nix blogs out there right now. Here is the...

Best remote control software for Windows / Linux connections

I've had good success with Teamviewer... You can use direct IPs if you're just doing it within your network for better latency. Otherwise... like MrColin said... ssh ;)

How do I go about forcibly unmounting a drive?

You could include checks against fuser and the mount point... fuser -vm /mnt/point To wait until it isn't in use. If a process isn't finished with a mount point that disappears it can cause issues where its still trying to hold onto the resources, so the kernel thinks its still in use...

Best SMTP solution

Postfix is a breeze to configure, especially for what you state are your needs. From another thread looks like you already have some experience with it, so unless there is specific functionality that isn't available no real point in switching.

Postfix question

Dovecot is a pop3/imap server, so no.

Just discovered the awesomeness of X forwarding

Its cool, but the only time I've ever found it to be useful is to take advantage of a GUI config for something that takes a bit of tweaking on multiple files... Like configuring Kerberos authentication.

Linux Iptables and forwarding all traffic from one IP to another IP

If Server A has no other reason to connect to Server 1-10, you could just add some entries to the hosts file with those hostname associated with the IP for Server B. I should say, if Server A has no reason to connect to Server 1-10 that doesn't need to go through Server B first.

Running expect script to send commands in SSH

You'd want to use the -d in the expect call itself: # expect -d scriptname And it will dump out the debugger info. With that said, have you tried replacing the qsub with something else?
