My Slackware 13.0 system says it does not know what to use to open a .jpg file. I checked a couple of other threads which say one is supposed to use gimp but that it does not work. What does work?

how do i open an email attachment -trf file
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am running a Cron job which mails the content of a log report every day. The problem is that the contents are sent as an attachment instead of as the body of the email. The strange thing is that if I run the instructions from the command line everything works fine, but if I do so from the Cron job the log report is attached instead of being sent inline.
The instruction I use is:
Code:
mail -s "logfile for cron" cron@example.com </var/log/cron-log
Following some advice I read on a blog I also tried this instruction in my Cron file, but the result is the same: it works fine from the command line, but attaches the report when run from Cron:
Code:
echo "Content-Type: text/plain;" | mail -s "logfile for cron" cron@example.com </var/log/cron-log
How to ensure the content of the log file is inline?
...it only gives the option to Save the file. I don't want to save it. I get a PDF file nightly, which contains the next day's work orders for my job.I'd like to just open the file. It's always attached to an email and opened using Yahoo mail.As it stands right now, I must always save it to the Desktop, then delete the previous day's file. Any idea how to change this? I've set the option to "Always Ask" in Edit --> Preferences --> Applications --> PDF Document.What else can I do? I seem to recall a fix where you'd delete a file containing all the preferences. I'd prefer not to do that, as I have them all set the way I want.Plus...and this is weird...it'll occasionally ask me to choose between opening the file or saving it

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly simple setup for my Network attached storage. I have a 1TB external hard drive connected to my Asus RT-N16 router through USB. I have enabled file sharing in the router, and thus the hard drive shows up on the network as a shared folder. No hassles, I can read and write to it.
Because I want to use this hard drive for networked backups, I tried to get it to mount on boot with fstab. Here is the line in my fstab file :
Code:
//192.168.1.1/SharedFolder /media/SharedFolder smbfs guest,_netdev 0 0
It mounts fine, no problems, and once again I'm able to read and write files to it. The problem occurs when I try to access the mounted drive and uncompress an archive file for the duplicity backup program. It gives me a list of messages showing that all the files inside the archive failed to uncompress because of error messages like these :
[Code]...
If I try to extract the same archive by manually going to Network > RT-N16 (Router) > Shared Folder, it extracts fine. But I need this folder to be mounted on boot because I use it very frequently. I tried changing smbfs to cifs and it still didn't work. Please not that my knowledge of samba, network storage and file systems is very basic. I tried searching the internet for more information about this but wasn't able to find much information that pertains to this particular problem. Hoping the linux pros here could give me some pointers ..
I'm at a complete loss on this one.MY version of Firefox 3.6.10 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) opens all email attachments with no problem. However, my sister's machine--same 3.6.10 and 10.04 LTS--does not. Instead, she gets the following message: "(PDF or JPEG) could not be opened because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences."I've checked all her preference settings against mine, and they match...but mine works and hers does not. (Also verified that "Document Viewer" and "Image Viewer" are installed properly...)

Is there a fix for this? Also since I'm new to these forum is there a guide for how best to use them? Is there a way to mark posts as solved or unresolved, etc? For example I searched to see if this error message came up before in the forums and I didn't see anything. So maybe I didn't do it correctly? How do I edit a post after I've already submitted it?

I'm using Sendmail 8.13.8 on a CentOS 5.5 vServer (Virtuozzo). I'm using a loop in PHP to send a lot of HTML-mails via sendmail. Each mail is a mail with individual statistics for our users, so its not mass mailing, bcc is not an option. It all works fine, but when I take a closer look there is a problem heading our way with a high number of mails: For each mail sendmail opens up 43 files. Sometimes these open files get closed again very fast, sometimes not.
Here is an example using the PHP-script below, it sends 20 mails in a loop:
[root]# php test-mail.php
START: number of open files: 2113
END: number of open files: 2973
This is the worst case. The number of open files (lsof | wc -l) used to send the 20 mails is 860 => 43 open files per mail. Sometimes the files are closed very fast, so I get results like this, too:
[root]# php test-mail.php
START: number of open files: 2113
END: number of open files: 2242
This shows 129 (3 * 43) open files, so the open files for 17 send mails are already closed, for 3 mails the 129 files are still open. In the worst case and with lots of mails our server crashes, the numfile limit of 8192 in user_beancounters is reached (our ISP won't give us more than 8192). Sendmail DeliveryMode is background. Could it be that sendmail tries to send lots ob mails asynchronously and uses 43 open files for each?
I'm only depending on sendmail to deliver the mails, normally I wouldn't dare to touch the sendmail config (like 'if you don't know what you're doing, don't!'). It is not a problem of PHP. I verified this by sending mails via SMTP localhost to sendmail (opened 43 files per mail) and sending mails via SMTP to an ISP-relay (did not open any files per mail). This is the code for test-mail.php:
PHP Code:
<?php
$output = shell_exec('lsof | wc -l');
echo "START: number of open files: $output";
// HTML message
$msg = '<html><head><title>Test mail</title></head><body><p>Mailbody</p></body></html>';
// Set 'Content-type'-header
$header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . " ";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . " ";
for($i=0; $i<20; $i++) {
// send mail, this opens up 43 files for each
mail('you@yourdomain.com', 'Testmail '.$i, $msg, $header, '-f
[email]bounce@yourdomain.com[/email]'); }
$output = shell_exec('lsof | wc -l');
echo "END: number of open files: $output"; ?>
I'm not trying to setup a email server. ;) Firewall is set to disabled. SELinux is set to disabled.. How can i configure (which file?) the server to be able to send email out? When I try "mail -s testmail myemail@[URL]" and enter some text and then CTRL+D.. and return, I get command prompt again..

I work for a company that makes portable devices running Linux and I was recently asked to make the underlying file system read-only for "security" purposes. Since the distribution is based on LinuxFromScratch, I know that very little writing happens at run time. So, even if the device runs on a usb flash device, I doubt that putting the root file system RO will be that beneficial. I am actually more concerned about a process actually breaking because it cannot open a file in RW mode than a process going rogue and filling the root file system with log files, etc. I'd really like to ear what kind of advantages disadvantages there really is with read-only file-systems.
