Unreferenced date December 2009 Lowercase code write code can refer to several Unix commands. All known variations of code write code are used to write messages to another user. The most popular variation sends a message directly to another user s Tty Unix TTY . Usage The correct syntax for the code write code command is source lang bash write user tty message source The write session is terminated by sending End of file EOF , which can be done by pressing Ctrl D. The tty argument is only necessary when a user is logged into more than one terminal. Example A conversation initiated between two users on the same machine source lang bash 11 19 AM write root pts 7 test source Will show up to the user on that console as source lang bash Message from root punch on pts 8 at 11 19 ... test source History A version of the write command appeared in the First Edition of the Research Unix operating system.

Write On was an educational television show which was produced and broadcast by TVOntario . The series starred Jack Creley as Mr. R.H. Morton, Diane Dewey as Miss Newton, and Paul Brown actor Paul Brown as Henry Kent. The premise of the series is of the misadventures of the staff of a small newspaper under the editorship of the tyrannical Morton with his subordinates, Miss Newton the secretary and Henry Kent, a young reporter. Considering Kent has poor writing and grammatical skills for a professional journalist , the staff have numerous events that illustrate various lessons about writing. Furthermore, Kent often have equally educational daydreams much like Walter Mitty where he is a dashing hero illustrating various writing concepts. Every episode of Write On was five minutes in length. They were written by Ken MacKay and Jed MacKay. Trivia Fans of the Canadian made soap opera Strange Paradise know Jack Creley best as Laslo Thaxton.

Other uses AT disambiguation lowercase In Unix like computer operating system s, the code at code command is used to schedule command computing command s to be executed once, at a particular system time time in the future. More precisely, it reads a series of commands from standard input and collects them into one at job which is carried out at a later date. The at job inherits the current environment, so that it is executed in the same working directory and with the same environment variable s set as when it was scheduled. It differs from code cron code which is used for recurring executions e.g. once an hour, every Tuesday, January 1 every year . As with code cron code , many Unix systems allow the administrator to restrict access to the code at code command. code at code can be made to mail a user when done carrying out a scheduled job of theirs, can use more than one job queue, and can read a list of jobs to carry out from a file instead of standard input.

Unreferenced date November 2006 Write precompensation abbreviated WPcom in the literature is a technical aspect of hard disk design. It is the use of a stronger magnetic field to write data in disk sector sector s that are closer to the center of the disk. In constant angular velocity recording, in which the disk spins at a constant speed no matter where the data is written, the sectors closest to the spindle are packed tighter than the outer sectors and so require a stronger magnetic field to write the data. In the past one of the hard disk parameters stored in a PC s CMOS memory is the WPcom number, a marker of the track where precompensation begins. Modern hard disks rarely access the CMOS memory and internally store the WPcom number if write precompensation is used. DEFAULTSORT Write Precompensation Category Hard disk drives ... more details

Write strategies are essential for compatibility with various types of blank media, and are typically stored in the drive s firmware . If a drive lacks a write strategy for a media type, it will only be able to write using minimum speed. Drive manufacturers typically include new or improved write strategies as part of a firmware upgrade, in order to extend or improve compatibility with blank media. In cases where official support for a drive has been discontinued or is deemed unsatisfactory, users have come up with ways to patch the write strategies by modding the drive s firmware. Learning Many DVD writers have a learning feature branded with names like smart burn that allows the drive to collect empirical data from its actual usage. The drive stores data from previous burns in its EEPROM , allowing it to adapt the default write strategies to account for individual drive variations, such as calibration, which may be affected by environment and age. A newer feature contained in some DVD writers allows a drive to invent write strategies for unknown media types, ostensibly reducing its dependence on firmware to provide explicit compatibility. However, because the drive initially knows nothing of the media type, early burns are frequently of poor quality, and the media s optimal strategy may never be found.
