Rsync over ssh in a crontab job will not work
Why is my crontab not working, and how can I troubleshoot it?
I am trying to fit a SVM to my data. My dataset contains 3 classes and I am performing 10 fold cross validation (in LibSVM):   ./svm-train -g 0.5 -c 10 -e 0.1 -v 10 training_data   The help thereby states:  -c cost : set the parameter C of C-SVC, epsilon-SVR, and nu-SVR (default 1)   For me, providing higher cost (C) values gives me higher accuracy. What does C in SVM actually mean? Why and when should I use higher/lower values (or the LibSVM given default value) of C? When exactly does tmpwatch clear out files I place in /tmp?

I'm having trouble editing this file on Windows 7:  C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8.7\share\cmake-2.8\Modules\FindJNI.cmake   If I edit it in Cygwin (vi) or TextPad, those two programs see the changes, so it's getting written to disk somewhere.  But if I "type" the file in a DOS cmd shell, it looks like the file hasn't been changed at all.  One thing I noticed is that in the cmd shell, the owner is Administrators, but in Cygwin's bash shell, the owner is Dan:  C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8.7\share\cmake-2.8\Modules&gt;dir /Q FindJ*  Volume in drive C is Windows7_OS  Volume Serial Number is 92CA-8707   Directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8.7\share\cmake-2.8\Modules  12/30/2011  09:45 AM             1,480 BUILTIN\Administrators FindJasper.cmake 12/30/2011  09:45 AM             7,951 BUILTIN\Administrators FindJava.cmake 12/30/2011  09:45 AM            10,632 BUILTIN\Administrators FindJNI.cmake 12/30/2011  09:45 AM             1,669 BUILTIN\Administrators FindJPEG.cmake                4 File(s)         21,732 bytes                0 Dir(s)  132,524,654,592 bytes free   Dan@home /c/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8.7/share/cmake-2.8/Modules $ ls -al FindJ* -rwx------+ 1 Dan            None 10636 Jan 30 13:57 FindJNI.cmake -rwx------+ 1 Administrators None  1669 Dec 30 09:45 FindJPEG.cmake -rwx------+ 1 Administrators None  1480 Dec 30 09:45 FindJasper.cmake -rwx------+ 1 Administrators None  7951 Dec 30 09:45 FindJava.cmake   How can this be?

Can I rename the wp-admin folder? Is it possible to rename the wp-admin folder?  I know I could just rename it, but unless it's supported by the code lots of things would break.  If I use a custom folder name, it will make it slightly more secure, security by obscurity and all that. In what order should one apply max HP reduction and damage? A character at 10/26 HP is hit by a Wraith and fails the Constitution saving throw. They take 21 damage and their maximum HP is reduced to 5.  Are they unconscious because the 11 excess damage is less than 26 or dead because it's greater than 5?

I am trying to write a bash script for testing that takes a parameter and sends it through curl to web site.  I need to url encode the value to make sure that special characters are processed properly.  What is the best way to do this?    Here is my basic script so far:  #!/bin/bash host=${1:?'bad host'} value=$2 shift shift curl -v -d "param=${value}" http://${host}/somepath $@ CDN - Content Delivery Networks. How do they work and why would I want to use one? What exactly is a Content Delivery Network (CDN), how does it work, and why would I want to use one for my web site?  Which are the well-known CDNs out there? In electromagnetism, why does nature prefer the right-hand rule over the left-hand rule? At school I learnt the  to remember the resulting direction of different phenomena, such as geometrical cross products, mechanical torque, or the direction a screw will move when turning it. This directions are however decided by humans, and we could have easily defined the directions in the opposite way.  However the right hand rule also predicts phenomena which is not arbitrarily set by humans, but is intrinsic to the nature. If you have a coil in which you put some current, and the nature creates a magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to it, the direction depends on the right hand rule.  My question is, why this direction and not the opposite? Nature tends to be symmetric and not have apparent preferences for two equal options, so in a so why is one direction preferred over the other one? Why doesn't a "left hand" rule apply?
