Fedora Core 6 advances printing

The release of Fedora™ Core 6 will see several improvements in the way printing is configured and used. The print spooler itself has had a major upgrade; the printing administration tool has been re-written; and the dialog you see when printing a document has been dramatically improved.

Parsing Qmail Logs

Yesterday I was tasked to submit some logs of outgoing mails. The time stamp on qmail logs, located at /var/log/qmail/ (on my set-up) is in UNIX-time format. After searching around to produce a "human-readable format", I executed this simple command:

cat /var/log/qmail/send/\@4000000044e17dfd1c6a4cb4.s | tai64nlocal > somefile.txt

That's it for now.
