How to find out which process is listening on a port

for example, we want to find out which process is running on port 8005

First, use the following command to find if the port is is use or not
netstat -an |grep 8005

Then, use the following command to find which process is using the port
fuser -n tcp 8005
the return will be something like '8005/tcp: 9113'.
it shows pid.

After that, we can find the full process information.
ps -ef |grep 9113

In the end. I wrote a script to put all those steps together
ps_port.sh


#!/bin/sh
status=`netstat -an |grep $1`
if [ "$status" == "" ]; then
echo "port $1 is free"
exit
fi
ps -ef |grep `fuser -n tcp $1`

Building auto-translator based on google translate API (2)

Got the draft version of the eclipse resource auto-translator works.
For a input resource file in English below:

action1=File
action2=Open
action3=Save
action4=Johnson


The output resource file in Simplified Chinese looks really stupid.



Need to find a way to let google translate to use IT dictionary!

[Updated 08/12]
Here are more info after digging into this problem.
From Google Translate FAQ:

"
Most state-of-the-art, commercial machine-translation systems in use today have been developed using a rules-based approach, and require a lot of work by linguists to define vocabularies and grammars.

Our system takes a different approach: we feed the computer billions of words of text, both monolingual text in the target language, and aligned text consisting of examples of human translations between the languages. We then apply statistical learning techniques to build a translation model. We've achieved very good results in research evaluations"

However, it can't be used to translate single word. since the algorithm needs context words to match for result.

In our application, for example, menu labels are single word. such as "File", "Open"...etc.
For workaround, I need to use an online dictionary for single word translation.
One good candidate is worldlingo
It is handy. allow you to select from list of dictionary, including computer/IT.

editing binary file using VI

Not using VI as HEX editor for quite long time. nearly forgot how to do it.

Here are the commands:

XML Transformer indent doesn't work with jdk5

The below code works fine with jdk1.4, i can get nice formatted xml document.



TransformerFactory transFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
StreamResult stream = new StreamResult(os);
transformer.transform(source, stream);



However, found it doesn't work on jdk5.
I need to change to the following work around code



TransformerFactory transFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
transFactory.setAttribute("indent-number",
new Integer(2));
Transformer transformer = transFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(document),
new StreamResult(new OutputStreamWriter(os, "utf-8")));


Building auto-translator based on google translate API (1)

I am writing an auto-translator plug-in. which will do the i18n for eclipse plugins and application automatically. After evaluate several online translating engine, i think google translate is more accurate. Although google does no provide an official API for their translate yet.

Here is the translation mode definition class. It lists all translation directions supported by google so far.


public final class TranslateMode {
public static final TranslateMode ARABIC2ENGLISH= new TranslateMode("ar|en");
public static final TranslateMode CHINESE2ENGLISH = new TranslateMode("zh|en");
