The sort operation for a Python list sorts a list in place . It takes three optional arguments to control the comparisons: s.sort([cmp[, key[, reverse]]]) cmp specifies a custom comparison function of two arguments (list items) which should return a negative, zero or positive number depending on whether the first argument is considered smaller than, equal to, or larger than the second argument: cmp=lambda x,y: cmp(x.lower(), y.lower()) . The default value is None . key specifies a function of one argument that is used to extract a comparison key from each list element: key=str.lower . The default value is None . reverse is a boolean value. If set to True , then the list elements are sorted as if each comparison were reversed. Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC...

cURL is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax. The main purpose and use for cURL is to automate unattended file transfers or sequences of operations.

In my opinion, the version without body content is pretty much useless (the <c:set> tag is a lot more meaningful for this purpose). If body content exists, it is inserted into the page if the testCondition is true . Optional attributes var and scope may be specified. If var is specified, a variable whose name is the value of var is exported to the associated scope ( pageScope if no scope is specified). The type of the exported variable is Boolean and its value is the value of the testCondition . <c:choose>, <c:when>, <c:otherwise> These tags imitate the Java control structure if...else...

This is from Oracle 10g documentation . Data Lock Conversion Versus Lock Escalation [/size] A transaction holds exclusive row locks for all rows inserted, updated, or deleted within the transaction. Because row locks are acquired at the highest degree of restrictiveness, no lock conversion is required or performed. Oracle automatically converts a table lock of lower restrictiveness to one of higher restrictiveness as appropriate. For example, assume that a transaction uses a SELECT statement with the FOR UPDATE clause to lock rows of a table. As a result, it acquires the exclusive row locks and a row share table lock for the table. If the transaction later updates one or more of the locked rows, the row share table lock is automatically converted to a...

These variables are set or used by the Unix shell to modify its behavior. Variable Description ENV=file Name of script that gets executed at startup; Usually, ENV=$HOME/.kshrc FCEDIT=file Editor used by fc (fix command) command. If $FCEDIT is not defined, use $EDITOR, otherwise use the default (vi or ed). FPATH=dirs Directories to search for function definitions; undefined functions are set via typeset -fu . FPATH is searched when these functions are first referenced. HISTFILE=file File in which to store command history. Default is $HOME/.sh_history for Korn shell, $HOME/.bash_history for Bash. If not set, history is lost after logout. HISTSIZE=n Max number of commands to keep in history. HOME=dir Home directory; set by login from passwd file. IFS='chars' Internal field separators.

Use the kill command to terminate a UNIX process. More precisely, the kill command sends a signal to the specified processes. There are 2 syntaxes: kill -l which displays the signal numbers and signal names. kill -sigid pid ... which sends signal sigid to the listed process ids (pid). If the sigid is omitted, SIGTERM (number 15) is sent. Process can ignore all signals except the KILL signal (number 9). Sending the KILL signal ensures a kill.
