4/21 I need WinNT 4.0 command-line equivalents of nice, sleep, and kill.
Any around? -jctwu

Unix95 Collection Version 7 contains the utilities you seek.
\_ tanx! =)
\_ Sure. The installer is at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/
\_ Why do people insist on posting this sort of religious stupidity?
Out in the RW, you don't always have the religious CS school
choice to use whatever you feel like. Yes, NT pretty much sucks,
and so what? The answer to an NT problem is *not* "Uh uh uh!
Install linux/freebsd/unix! Uh uh!" Get a clue. Try real life
for once.
\_ Why do people insist on posting this sort of "Oh _yeah_?????
Why don't you pussy CS students try living in the _REAL_
world???" macho bullshit? If your job consistently forces
you to use tools you dislike on a regular basis, then maybe
you weren't thinking too hard when you selected your
workplace.
\_ Give that attitude to a prospective employer and you won't
have too many workplace choices, boy. Or maybe not every
\_ The San Francisco Bay Area is by all accounts a
seller's market for technology jobs. People who
prefer to work on Unix have any number of options
around here. That's why this "real world" isn't
as dismal as all that.
\_ Wait until the market gets saturated.
Then you'll beg for those MVS jobs.
\_ Yes, and an asshole with a bad attitude in _any_
market will have a shorter list of jobs at a
lower salary with less opportunity for
advancement and is less likely to get a good
reference in the RW, dismal or not. The world
\_ "Asshole with a bad attitude"? You've had
a lot of personal experience here, I take
it . . .
\_ DOH! I am struck to the quick! HAHAHA!
Spare me the attempted wit. "I know you
are but what am I?" is beneath a Cal
student, any Cal student.
\_ except saarp -tom
is run by and for and is about people, not
computers.
one is the super genius techical guru you are and simply
wants a decent job to pay the rent? We can't all be the
GiantPenis BoyWonder you obviously are. Or... maybe some
people actually *prefer* NT and just want a few of the unix
tool ports but otherwise think Unix sucks? I'll be looking
for open minds like yours the next time I interview. I
merely implied it before, but since you said it, I'll
agree: you are a stupid CS pussy with zero RW clue. Happy?
\_ yes, I am a giantpenis wonderboy. and you're a nobody.
Men like me invent the technology that shapes the future.
You're a fucking nobody and you will stay a nobody for
the rest of your life because of your lack of brain power.
I AM THE COGNITIVE ELITE BECAUSE I WAS BORN WITH A HIGHER
IQ. NOW GO BACK TO YER SYSADMIN JOB AND MAKE SURE THOSE
THE MACHINES ARE RUNNING SMOOTHLY WHEN THE REAL ENGINEERS
NEED IT.
\_ BoyChild, engineers are dime-a-dozen cogs. Only
management and sales count, and sales only counts
when sales are good. Don't fool yourself. Boys like
you are hired by the dozen and fired by the dozen.
Given that I'm posting on the motd and I'm also not
a student, a clever boy like you could figure out I
already have an engineering/cs degree from Cal and
unlike you might know what I'm talking about. What
makes your future degree better than the one I
already earned? Perhaps the cognitive elite isn't
currently over-enrolled at Cal this semester? Can't
wait for a chance to interview a few of you and ask
some of those personality/attitude questions.
\_ Uh, I (the person who posted the "why do you work
in a job that regularly forces you to do things
you dislike" comment) _am_ already out in the real
world, thanks. And I regularly interview people.
The only difference between us seems to be that I
haven't decayed into a condescending, dour, bitter
asshole like yourself.
\_ I'm glad you have the talent, skill,
experience, and perfect personality that allows
you to choose your title, salary, and working
arrangements at the company of your choice.
I seriously doubt most here are in your unique
position. Coming straight out of school, there
is zero chance they'll start like that. Given
a choice between a smart, flexible kid who will
do the work I need done without religious lip
and a smart, religious, mouthy kid who will do
the work I need done but constantly bitches
about how >insert free *nix here< would do it
better because *nx is the answer to everything,
I'll take the smart flexible kid everytime.
When your only tool is a hammer, everything
looks like a nail. BTW, send those flexible
ones my way, you can have the mouthy little
bastards. Either way, they're all still
dime-a-dozen coming out of school. (If I pay
you to run my Apple ][e network, that's what
you'll do, your choice is to go elsewhere).
\_ Not every free Unix advocate will insult
a boss or tell a boss to switch operating
systems. I developed on VB once because
that was what I was hired to do. I was
polite and did the work and didn't bash
Microsoft horribly, but _I didn't stop
caring about it_ either. Behold, my old
boss wrote me e-mail recently about how
people keep telling him Linux is worthwhile,
and he may have to try it one of these days.
You don't have to insult everyone like
certain OpenBSD founders we know do in order
to make progress for free software. If you
can tell that all progressive groups != ISO,
you can surely see the same about "*nx"
advocacy. We will win -- slowly.
\_ who's the asshole that starts every post with, "Out in
the RW...?" yeah, we really need life lessons from you.
\_ You seem to. What's your point, if any?
\_ that your "i'm out in the RW" crap is old. go away.
\_ And that you're assuming that we all live in a "real
world" that's as broken as yours . . . |
