Leif, Anders B and Anders N are responsible for the computer system. Locally stored manuals for many programs and more information are available on the computer page. Print commands . Here is info about [[PrintersNew|print commands for different operating systems.]] Document processing commands . '''xemacs''' General editor. In particular it has special functionality for handlig LaTeX documents. . '''latex''' Compile a Latex document to a DVI file. Note that the department has local classes for reports, slides, exams, etc. Always use the schoolbook package for nicer and correct fonts. Two very useful packages are [[http://www.ams.org/tex/amsmath.html|amsmath]] (for mathematical expressions) and [[computerLatexOtherPack|psfrag]] (for replacing text in postscript figures). . '''dvips''' Convert a DVI file to postscript. Sometimes you need to invoke this manually to get the correct paper size (using the -t <papertype> option). . '''bibtex''' Compile the bibliography for a Latex document. . '''gv''' View postscript files. Can also read most PDF files. . '''booklet''' Shrink and convert a postscript document into booklet format, convenient for documents up to about 40 pages. Use e.g. booklet file.ps | lpr . '''psnup''' Puts multiple pages of a Postscript file onto each physical sheet of paper. . '''dvipdf''' Convert a .dvi file to .pdf . '''ps2pdf''' Convert a postscript file to PDF. . '''acroread''' View PDF files. . '''jpeg2ps''' Convert a JPEG image to postscript, without increasing the size of the file. Miscellaneous useful commands . '''quota''' Type quota -v to display disk usage and limits. . '''groups''' Print the groups you belong to. Ask Leif when you need to be added to more groups (e.g. if you're teaching a certain course). More tips and tricks can be found here. Some important computers . '''sperry-01, sperry-02, sperry-03''' File server, mail server, etc. . '''gronwall''' The Windows computer located in the seminar room. . '''maxwell''' Web server. You can also use maxwell as compute server or to login from outside. User directories and backup . The home directories are backed up daily. Ask Leif or Anders B if you need to restore some files. '''Only place files that really need backup in your home directory (/home/username/)!''' Place all other files (downloaded documents, programs, mp3's, etc.) on your local hard drive (/work/username/). Leif will set up this directory for you if it doesn't exist. It can sometimes be useful to "borrow" material from people who have left the department. Have a look under /work/oldusers/ Webmail . You can access your mail from outside the department using the Webmail at https://webmail.control.lth.se. Mailing lists . Important mailing lists: . '''regler.dis''' All department employees . '''guests.dis''' Current visitors . '''doktorander.dis''' All PhD students . '''junkmail.dis''' Misc. people, less serious content . Some mailing lists related to social activities: '''ib.dis, skrylle.dis, film.dis'''. To study the lists and find their owners, look at the file /etc/mail/mailhost_aliases on any linux computer. Lab computers . The lab computers can have different login domains: . '''control.lth.se''' Login on your ordinary account. . '''lab.control.lth.se''' Login on an EFD account. Ask Leif if you need an EFD account. . On the lab machines, you can switch domain by logging in as '''domain_lab''' or as '''domain_control'''. The machine will then reboot automatically, and will come up in the desired domain. === Manuals and templates === * C# [[http://bellman.control.lth.se:8081/|API]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/doxygen-1.3.4/html/index.html|Doxygen documentation system]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/fvwm2|FVWM2]] * [[/Graphics|Graphics Utilities]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/Installing-GRUB-natively.html|GRUB]] * [[computerJava|Java Documentation]] * [[http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lug/lapack_lug.html|LAPACK guide]] * [[computerLatex|LaTeX]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/make/make_toc.html|Make]] * [[computerMaple|Maple]] * [[computerMatlab|Matlab - Simulink]] * [[attachment:PCx-user.pdf|PCx]] * [[computerScilab|Scilab]] * [[http://www.geom.umn.edu/docs/mpeg_play/mpeg_play.html|mpeg_play manual]] * [[computerOmsim|OmSim och Omuses]] * [[computerPerl|Perl]] * Python * [[http://www.control.lth.se/documentation/python|API]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/documentation/pygtk|pygtk]] * [[computerSamba|Samba]] * [[computerXEmacs|XEmacs Documentation]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/zsh/zsh_toc.html|Zsh]] === Miscellaneous internal === * [[computerVacation|Setting 'vacation' in your e-mail]] * [[computerAntispam|Using our spam-labeling]] * [[computerBackup|Backup]] * [[computerBurnMusicCD|Burn music-CD]] * [[computerNames|About the Computer Names]] * [[computerLabLists|Creating electronic lab-lists]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/webdatabas.html|Database-connections on our webpages]] * [[seminarieansvarig|Information for seminar announcements]] === WWW and the Internet === * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/html/html-elements.html|HTML Elements]] (local guide) * [[http://www.w3c.org/|The World Wide Web Consortium]] * [[http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/|The Web Design Group]] * [[http://validator.w3.org/|HTML Validation Service]] (Check if your webpage complies with the standard) === Local templates === * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/html/kurssida.html|Template for course pages]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/html/personlig.html|Template for personal homepages]] * [[http://www.control.lth.se/intern/dator/html/forskningssida.html|Template for research pages]]
