This page offers access to lab package (reusable materials) for performing an experiment that compares reading and testing techniques. This experiment was conducted at the University of Kaiserslautern, at the University of Strathclyde, and elsewhere. For more information, please retrieve these papers:

automount and autofs are powerful tools and ease file systems management. They allow all the users of one machine to mount different file systems automatically the very moment they are needed.
If you do embedded programming you’re probably familiar with Motorola S-Records. This following script takes a MAC Address and outputs S-Record data.
An automounter allows the binding of a directory name to a filesystm to be delayed until the name is referenced. This can be advantageous merely to reduce the number of simultaneous mounts, but it can improve system reliability, simplify administration and provide transparent redundancy as well. Examples of automouters are autofs (supplied with Linux) and automountd (supplied with SUNOS) Amd is an advanced automounter, with great flexibility. It is the default automounter pre-installed in FreeBSD and is currently maintained for over 100 operating systems by Erez Zadok. As of the fall of 2000, it is at version 6.04.
This document describes the GNU configure and build systems. It describes how autoconf, automake, libtool, and make fit together. It also includes a discussion of the older Cygnus configure system.
I’ve started writting a tutorial for helping programmers getting started with GNU autoconf and automake. A previous attempt was done at this by Mark Galassi. I am very proud of this work, but unfortunately it has been left unfinished because of my injury. This is why it is a pleasure to announce that Marcelo Roberto Jimenez is the new maintainer. You can get the most recent version here.
Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in’s from files called `Makefile.am’. Each `Makefile.am’ is basically a series of make macro definitions (with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated `Makefile.in’s are compliant with the GNU Makefile standards.
Autoconf is a tool for producing shell scripts that automatically configure software source code packages to adapt to many kinds of UNIX-like systems. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are independent of Autoconf when they are run, so their users do not need to have Autoconf.
What does the scripting language AWK have to do with networking? In the May 1996 LJ, Ian Gordon introduced us to AWK and demonstrated how to solve common problems with this scripting language that is part of Linux and every UNIX-compatible operating system. He summarized:
