1. fcron 3.0.1
on SuSE 10.x
don't install from an encap'd package - the permissions are screwed up and in general this makes running fcron/fcrontab nearly impossible
sudo make install is the best option
config files can't be symlinked (very picky)
doesn't like emacs as the editor most of the time - often complains about permission on /var/spool/fcron
took too much fiddling to get it working - I don't recall having this much trouble getting it working under RHEL3
even after all this whining, it has functionality that is indispensible
2. lighttpd
on Mac OS X
Make sure you have installed the proper versions of your GNU tools (I use DarwinPorts).
autoconf 2.59
automake 1.9
libtool 1.5 (NOTE: libtool 1.9 doesn't seem to work in this case)
pkgconfig 0.2
I'm not sure if pkgconfig isn't needed on other platforms, but on the Mac, its absence causes AC_DEFINE to be undefined.
configure.in:76: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
3. awk
print out running sum of a column: awk '{sum=sum+$1, printf("sum: %d", $sum)}'
