What’s Wrong with issuing a blithe mandate that the “resources” on a slapdashedly assembled $crum “team” (thrown together by indifferent consultants with no knowledge or interest whatsoever in the whatever the particular business and/or engineering context) become “cross-functional” is that it wantonly ignores the fact that, $crum or no $crum, there remain contractual obligations to be fulfilled by ironclad specific dates, and market challenges and opportunities that, if not immediately and EFFECTIVELY addressed and/or exploited (with the right persons in the right positions each applying their own unique talents and skillets to the project as a collaborative whole), the enterprise will find itself staring down the barrel of a massive competitive disadvantage that might very well imperil its existence. In this context (aka “Reality”), tasking some random Java contractor who just got pulled in off the street with making exorbitantly complicated changes to a core C++ library – while the engineer who originally wrote and has maintained that same codebase for the past several years is tasked instead with updating the graphics on the corporate site (and Yes this is -exactly- what does happen) – is not merely Dumbfoundingly Incompetent; under the auspices of Fiduciary Responsibility, it is actionable.

Moreover, kindly cut the crap suggesting this ridiculous theory is somehow conceived and posited with the interests of the engineering “resources” in mind; of all the insults-to-intelligence codified into the dogma of the Cult of $crum, this one grates the most. Its only beneficiaries are the consultants who advance it, and their pitiable dupes in middle management who mystifyingly somehow believe them, by dismissing out-of-hand the inconvenient and annoying fact that C++ Is Not The Same As Java, and that the assessments from the engineering team of whatever their latest random whim as Harebrained Fantasy are borne of actual real knowledge and expertise that they themselves do not possess.

From: http://wikis.sun.com/display/SolarisDeveloper/Issues+When+Porting+Open+Source+Projects+to+Solaris

I found a link on the oracle site there is a patch for this:
Missing data file for processes under /proc (HITS:6, rating: 2.54)
In Solaris there are no data files under /proc, e.g. /proc/stat /proc/partitions /proc/loadavg /proc/meminfo /proc/uptime /proc/vmstat /proc/net/dev /proc/net/ip_acct /proc/net/tcp /proc/PID/cpu /proc/PID/stat. Example patch

I’ll try to check it out, but I should get back to doing real work soon.

Is their an implementation sample that you can share with others? I really want to understand the implementation in detail. We are using JBoss Messaging thinking about moving to Hornet Q but I like TC as a messaging bus. But need guidance, it would be great if you can share the detail with me via email or something.

You are forgetting he had 8-10 years worth of VB code. Rewiting that using Java would be counter productive.

Why throw away tested code?

What you are missing if you are self-taught people or from fake CS programs is a deep understanding of what is going on under the hood.

If you can’t follow your code as the compiler and processor viewpoint you are not a programmer, you are an API monkey.

Few people without this knowledge can see that code is inefficient or flat out wring before executing it or running it in a profiler.

i went through the tomcat code and undestood what you were saying about the concept used for daemon runners. but i have one doubt regarding the following statement in the daemon runners

” “stop” comes through, main stops its child thread and your application can exit gracefully. ”

how would a thread stop other threads.

Thread.stop() is deprecated. any ideas on how to terminate a thread.

i am running now solaris 10 after toying with 5.8 and 5.9.
IMHO: i too miss htop on my solaris! hard to believe that there are even no source-codes to compile on solaris…
@ Randall: since years i’ve been always looking for SYSV. now it may seem as a rookie question, but i wonder where to get it? can you advise?
many thanks
