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 RepliesI 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. 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 3 Replies View RelatedI need to schedule for a repeated task on my Linux, as the followings:
-) Telnet to a remote node
-) Issue a command
-) Capture the output in a log
-) Logout from Telnet
-) Wait for a prescribed time interval
-) Then redo , but append the subsequent output in just on file
know which options do we have to write such a task?
For example,
# clock-pause
# touch a
# touch b
# convert -draw `date` text_draw.gif
# clock-resume
Or, simply
# freeze-exec sh -c 'touch a; touch b; convert -draw `date` text_draw.gif'
The expected result is the timestamps of a and b, and the text drawn to the image, are exactly the same.
I am using Kernel 2.6.35.4 on an Intel Core2Duo based system.
1) I have to find on which core a particular task is running on .
OR
2) I have to just log whenever my task is scheduled on any of the cores with the cpu core number & timestamp info. I am ready to modify the kernel to do printk or some logging . I guess there used to be 2 fields called 'processor' and 'last_processor' in task_struct in older kernels which probably had this information .
So what do I do to find out on which core a particular task is running on ?
Or ,
Are there any utilities that are simple-to-use and can display the tasks that are running on each of the cores , including the cpu core info ? top , mpstat etc do not tell you on which cpu core a task is running on .
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?
How would i place a task in sleep mode then restart it?

i have a hp laptop with a cracked screen so i'm using and external monitor. It is an HP vs15c. Now it was working fine.. perfect even.. until i was working on a second virus infect pc in bed with the keyboard connection to this pc next to me. What happened next is a bit embarrassing and also why i have no idea what i did or how to fix it. Well i found the virus in the laptop i was repairing (god i hate vista.) when i wiggled in excitement .. only the keyboard slide under my breast and the next thing i know my screen looks stretched and i have no bars. i can move my mouse beyond the right and the bottom edges of the screen and i can't change anything cause i can't get any option.. or least i don't know how to get them without the bars.. i can't even reboot if i wanted to cause my task bar is GONE. the bottom active bar is there.. off screen where i can see it but if i drag my mouse down far enough it is there to click on things. However the top bar that i need is gone. I am NOT good with terminal.. nor do i know how to open it without the top task bar. Right now i'm cursing a storm and being very angry about being a woman.
