Increase your RAM and so system speed

1). Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents.

2). Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open Windows Task Manager and click Processes tab and sort the list in descending order on Mem Usage. You will notice that WINWORD.EXE will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.

3). Now switch to Word and simply minimize it. (Don't use the Minimize All Windows option of the task bar).

4). Now go back to the Windows Task Manager and see where WINWORD.EXE is listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word. Now check out the amount of RAM it is using. Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.

5). Minimize each application that you are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button & you can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin. Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together, the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM.

In any multitasking system, minimizing an application means that it won't be utilized by the user right now. Therefore, the OS automatically makes the application use virtual memory & keeps bare minimum amounts of the code in physical RAM.

What is Autosys ?

Introduction to Autosys Autosys is an automated job control system for scheduling, monitoring, and reporting. These jobs can reside on any Autosys-configured machine that is attached to a network. An AutoSys job is any single command, executable, script, or Windows batch file. Each AutoSys job definition contains a variety of qualifying attributes, including the conditions specifying when and where a job should be run. Defining Jobs : There are the two methods you can use to create job definitions: ¦ Using the AutoSys Graphical User Interface (GUI). ¦ Using the AutoSys Job Information Language (JIL) through a command-line interface. Autosys Jobs: Job Types and Structure : There are three types of jobs: command, file watcher, and box. As their names imply, command jobs execute commands, box jobs are containers that hold other jobs (including other boxes), and file watcher jobs watch for the arrival of a specif...

Autosys Architecture

Autosys Work-Flow • Event Server (or Autosys Database) o Data Repository that stores Autosys system information,events and job definitions. o The Autosys Db is termed ‘Data Server’ which describes a server instance • Event Processor o Interprets and processes all the events it reads from the Autosys Database o A program that actually runs Autosys o Scans the database for processing events. Checks if the events satisfy the starting conditions of the job and the determines the actions • Remote Agent o Temporary process started by the event processor to perform a specific task on a remote machine o It starts the command specified for a given job, sends running and completion information about a task to the Event Server • Step1: The Event Processor scans the Event Server for the next event to processor.If no event is ready,the Event Processor scans again in 5 seconds. • Step2: The Event Processor reads from the Event Server that an event is r...

Evil Twin and Fake Wireless Access Point Hacks: What They Are, How To Defend

Hacking is a term with a wide variety of acts associated with it. Some are incredibly complex and demand a high degree of knowledge, others are little more than installing some software on your device and acting a bit...less than ethically. One of the most common hacks is also one of the easiest to defend against. This is what is known as a fake wireless access point. Hackers use this tactic to easily steal data of unsuspecting wireless users in public places. What is a fake wireless access point data theft? This type of attack has a number of nicknames associated with it: AP Phishing, Wi-Fi Phishing, Hotspotter, Evil Twins, and Honeypot AP. All of these are associated with creating a fake Wi-Fi connection that people log into, and whose goal is to steal credentials, logins, and passwords. To accomplish this, hackers simply use a piece of software, or app, that is designed to capture data that is sent over a wireless connection. Examples of software that is sued d...
