		<title>Unix Script Security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have received a lot of questions about this area recently. Here are a couple of tips and tricks I use to provide security within shell scripts. Note: The syntax I will use is for Bourne type shells. The same concepts apply to csh, but the syntax changes. The first scripting security issue for DBAs [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Oracle Support and Patches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the switch to My Oracle Support, I have been unable to download patches from E-Business Suite 12.0 via the My Oracle Support pages (both flash &#8211; it seems to only give me the R12 that points to 12.1, and html &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t give an EBS patches). Fortunately, the html version of updates.oracle.com still [...]]]></description>

		<title>Printer setup for the E-Business Suite in Oracle Enterprise Linux Part 2 Migrating</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that we have the printers all added, the last thing we want to do is have to rekey them all on every server.  Every time you do a manual migration, you increase the chance for errors. We can use system-config-printer to migrate our queues at the linux level and FNDLOAD to migrate the queues [...]]]></description>

		<title>Printer setup for the E-Business Suite in Oracle Enterprise Linux Part 1 New Printer Types</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, the list of printers available to Enterprise Linux distros is missing many printers used in the real world.  You can find drivers for most printers and information about how to install them at openprinting.org. However, many of the drivers available there are for LSB 3.2 and many Enterprise Linux distros are not LSB 3.2 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using wget to download patches from oracle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the major concerns with My Oracle Support comes from the use of flash on the server.  One of the main reasons given is that people require the capability to download patches directly to the server.  For many users, this is a major concern since the server is frequently in a remote datacenter.  One [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accessing My Oracle Support from Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 x86-64 Part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oracle has now updated note 848202.1, Installing and Troubleshooting Adobe Flash Player on Linux This is a little bit cleaner than the workaround I posted yesterday since you do not need to replace the /usr/bin/firefox with a shell script. However, it uses the nspluginwrapper which Oracle does not support.  The previous workaround was done using products [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accessing My Oracle Support from Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 x86-64</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was shocked to see the following when I went to download a patch the other day: Note: FTP patch download service will be retired as of September 18th, 2009 and &#8220;My Oracle Support&#8221; will be the only interface for downloading the patches and updates. The problem is that I am using Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Too Many Open Files</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had an interesting problem happen with a customer late last week. A monitor we maintain on the alert log suddenly paged us with ORA-1116, ORA-1110 and ORA-27041 (Can&#8217;t open a database file, too many open files). Nothing had changed on this system in months. After running: lsof &#124; awk &#8216;{print $9}&#8217; &#124; sort &#124; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back from Collaborate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who missed it, Collaborate 08 in Denver was a great conference this year. Too many papers to get to all the sessions that you wanted to attend (in my mind, that is the major mark of a strong program). I want to publicly congratulate Sandra Vucinic on being named the OAUG [...]]]></description>
