[Level 3] Systemtap on Linux.

Today, my boss want me to find some data to compare with Solaris and Linux.
And I find a freeware(GPL) on Linux, called systemtap.
It looks like the "DTrace" in Solaris.
As the documents writes, the we have to download the kernel package then we can start to use it. The commands as the following:
# yum install systemtap kernel-devel yum-utils
# debuginfo-install kernel
 
The sample "script" as the following:
# stap -ve 'probe begin { log("hello world") exit () }'
# stap -c df -e 'probe syscall.* \
{ if (target()==pid()) log(name." ".argstr) }' 
 
Any Linux user use this before?

Wish this helps.

regards,
Stanley Huang

[Level 1] Rar tool for Solaris.

Sometimes we will got a rar compressed file from our friends, but there is no default tool in OpenSolaris to decompress the rar filess. We can got a Solaris Intel version from rarlab . The steps as the following: 1. down load the rar tools from rarlab. http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm 2. uncompressed the source. # gunzip ./unrar-sol-intel.gz 3. move it to the location you used to. # mv /unrar-sol-intel.gz /usr/bin/unrar 4. try to decomprss # unrar x ./test.rar Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang

[Level 2] iif in Python

If you want to implement iif in Python, please refer to the following sample code: #!/bin/env python def iif(b): return 'It\'s True' if b else 'It\'s False' print iif(True) print iif(False) And the following sample, guess what will you get! #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' Result: $ ./iif.py b: Ture False The second result is "False", not "b: False". Why??? Because the prededence of string concatenation is higher than if. Therefore you need to use () to make it correct. #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % ('Ture' if b else 'False') Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang
