Even before standard BluRay drives and media have hit the shelves, TDK have announced they are working on 200GB BluRay disks.
Standard BluRay disks and players that are getting ready to ship will be 25GB as single layer, and 50GB as double layer. The disk that TDK is working on is 8 layers.
OnJava.com have a good overview of using the Maven 2.0 build tool – read more here.
Wow. I guess after months of speculation and crazy rumours it was inevitable that it was going to happen, but news this morning is that RedHat have bought JBoss for $350 million, 40% cash and 60% RedHat stock.</a
At least RedHat is more aligned to the open source model that JBoss was a major advocate for, and I expect not much will change with the JBoss product lineup for a while. I suspect this acquisition will be a relief compared to what might have happened to the company should someone like Oracle have bought the company, as was rumoured a couple of months ago.
Good luck to the new combined organization.
You can use cron to schedule jobs to run at regular time intervals, but to run a script at a particular time and date, use the ‘at’ command.
at TIME [DATE] -f scriptname
where TIME is like 2:30pm or 10:00am, and date is in the format like ‘Mar 10’ or ‘Apr 01’.
To view scripts that are scheduled for execution, use the command: atq
This lists the scripts that are ‘queued’ for execution. The first digit on each line is the job number for each scheduled script. To remove/cancel a scheduled script, use the atrm command, with the job number.
