Hero Honda Splendor fork oil change

Posted 02-11-2012 at 12:36 AM by catkin

The easiest way to do this job is to remove the drain plugs but the part that they screw into within the slider may turn. If that happens a special tool is required to hold it. The procedure described here avoids that danger; it does not need any special tools.

Note on terms: the fork tube (a.k.a. stanchion) is attached to the yokes (a.k.a. triple tree) which pivot in the frame while the slider (a.k.a tube) holds the wheel. The least ambiguous terms, "stanchion" and "slider",...

Fix: browser downloads PHP file instead of running it (Debian Squeeze)

Posted 01-31-2012 at 02:39 AM by catkin

This problem took nearly a day to solve so here's the solution.

VBS for cwrsync - RSYNC_PASSWORD gotcha

Posted 12-23-2011 at 12:19 AM by catkin
Updated 12-23-2011 at 12:20 AM by catkin (Added comment moderation and email notification)

When running cwrsync as SYSTEM it difficult to satisfy rsync's requirement that the password file must be owned by root and readable only by root.

One solution is to set the RSYNC_PASSWORD environment variable.

When using Visual Basic Script to automate the cwrsync run, there's a "gotcha" -- RSYNC_PASSWORD must be a SYSTEM environment variable, not a USER environment variable.

Sample code:

Code:

objWshShell.Environment("SYSTEM").Item("RSYNC_PASSWORD")
