I have been doing this for quite sometime now, yet lately I wonder if this is what everybody does...I have a task that will run for hours. In order to not to interrupt that task when I logoff for the day, I issued the command:
Code:
at now 'sh ~/a-long-task'
Is this what everybody else does?
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on an AMD64 computer with an ATI Raedon x1250 graphics card.
Everything runs fine for about 3 hours, then it will randomly stop working.
Symptoms:
Mouse stops moving for 10 seconds.
Screen goes white.
Speakers start repeating last 10 seconds of whatever was playing.
Screen goes orange or purple with lines across it and random symbols...
At that point I hardware restart my computer and all is fine again
dmesg yields the following after every crash

How do you launch a task from a terminal command line interface and it not be kill'ed if you close the terminal window. Like if I run jedit I type jedit & which launches jedit as a backgorund task. But, if I close terminal window, jedit dies to. How do I laucnch jedit and completely divorce it from the terminal task?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

View 14 Replies View RelatedA few hours ago, I ran "pacman -Syu" to update, and soon after it was finished the power went out for a few seconds, turning off my computer without properly shutting down. When I started it, the time was wrong (or maybe the time zone, since the minute is correct). It looks like it's exactly 4 hours behind (right now it's 18:53 here, but the date command says 14:53). Also, I have ntpd running, in case that matters.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was installing "wine" last night and since I knew it was going to take a while I closed the lid of the laptop and turned it upside down on the floor. (I always turn the laptop upside down when not using it otherwise might overheat)When I woke up this morning roughly 8 hours after I went to sleep the machine was turned off.Using the "last -x | grep shutdown | head -1" it stated that it went down at roughly 6 hours from when I went to sleep.The program I was installing got finished installing but I never set up an auto-shutdown program or anything of the sort.If this isn't a problem with linux then its a problem with my bios. If its a problem with my bios I will just have to live with it because my bios is locked. /var/log/messages says this:

I am trying to write a simple back up script in python where I try to list the files that are 24 hours old in specific directories that I would choose.I read the manual of find and used
find . -mtime 1 > log.dat
to get the list of files in the log.dat however I also get the path information in that list as such
./hpc06MatlabCodes/2011/Apr/3dBoxModel
./hpc06MatlabCodes/2011/Apr/3dBoxModel/vfluidIrca10.dat
./hpc06MatlabCodes/2011/Apr/3dBoxModel/vLRecoveredSystem.mat
is there a way to exclude the directories and only get the files list.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe problem is I need the php program to send member email confirmation which contains a confirm link. Run every min may still make the member wait. So I like to make it to run every 20 or 30 secs.
I don't want to put the code to send email on my sign up page as that's no good.
But I don't want to put a sleep 30 sec on my php script and going on loop. If it failed in the middle then it may wait abit to start.
What can be done to achieve my goal and what's the best way?
Making a php script to run as a daemon process? Is that possible and okay?

There are clearly some config problems here, but can't find out what are they, since this is first time I try to setup nginx and fastcgi.
