How to write to KDE's OSD or notification from console?
i want to send a notification to the kde4 notification area (in desktop panel) from a small script. Is there a program for? I cant find anything.
I got some crontab records and everything works fine. I installed mail server recently and all cron notifications started to come into my inbox. I'd like to receive only notifications about cron errors. I would rather not filter all notifications off.

I have written a simple script that are sending some data to a plc. But i must end my sending with crlf for the plc to accept my sending. The script is started in inetd.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
i="0"
while [ $i -lt 1 ]
do
echo -n "1111111111"

I open up 2 xterms on my desktop, A(/dev/pts/0) and B(/dev/pts/1).I can write from A to B using redirection e.g. echo "test" > /dev/pts/1How do I run a command from A on B? e.g. "clear"Basically I'm putting the 2 terminals side by side, and using terminal B to display the contents of the current working directory, by running the following in A:export PROMPT_COMMAND="ls -a > /dev/pts/1"but this fills up the screen pretty fast. I was actually looking for a way to clear up the second terminal.

Then, continuing with monitoring. I would like to not run this in cron, because I don't want to script to run with multiple instances.
For example,
Ping a server every minute.
-If successful, do nothing.
-If failed to ping, then send out email stating that server is down.
-Once ping is successful, then send out email stating that server is up.
I only want it to send an email once after a failure, so the end user isn't get an email every minute that it fails. Once it is successful, then send the email (one time), stating that the server is up. Then, continue to ping and if fails again, repeat the process.
I have those notifications bubbles that appear right and top of my Screen.
Besides being RIDICULOUSLY big, i don't need them
I don't know if it is the same, but they look like this:
NOTE THIS PICTURE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE I FOUND ON THE INTERNETS - I WANT TO DISABLE ALL NOTIFICATIONS
Just recently I started using a cluster in my school to run some heavy tasks, which might require long periods to get done. The thing is that I can only send one task after the previous one has been completed (cluster use policies) and since I don't know in advance how much time each task will take, I'd like to have a way of knowing when one given task is already done (other than keep checking it).I am allowed to submit the jobs in bash scripts, so that's what I have at my disposal.

I'm setting up a machine that's going to be used to test randomly connected tape drives one at a time, and as such, I'm writing the test routine using mt in a bash script, for user-friendliness. The problem is the block device name changes on occasion as tape drives are swapped out and busses are rescanned, so I can't "hard code" a block name into the script.
I know programs like lsscsi and hwinfo will give you block device names as part of their output, but I can't seem to grep anything in such a way as to have the final output be just the block name (ie /dev/st2, or optimally 'st2'), so that I can just have the script read said output, and drop it into the necessary variable.
in the middle of script, i need to send the output of (send command on line 8) to a file
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn telnet 172.20.64.133
expect "ENTER USERNAM <"
[cod]....
i treid the below on line 8 :
1- send "show command;
" > logfile.txt : gives an error extra character after the "
2- logsave logfile.txt 'send "show command;
" ': error invalid command
3- i simply tried to send the output of the whole script to file logsave /home/logfile ./script : seems that logsave work under root only
4- ./script > logfile : the problem with this is that the output of echo or (read "enter your id") command will not be displayed on the screen (actually nothing will be displayed, i have to open the log file to see the output). is there any way to save the log of the "send" ? or to save the log of the complete script without hiding the output on the screen?
I have the following working script. It checks the directory for txt files, if files are there, it copies to another directory or gives error. I would like to exclude "file not found" errors and send them to /dev/null. All other errors should go to the email address as usual.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
function err
{
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]

I have an Ubuntu 10.04 machine at home and apache setup on it (files are located in a Truecrypt volume). The reason for the web server being that I wanted to access my files wherever I'm at (i.e. hotel, work, hotspots, etc...). So far, it's worked out great for me seeing as a I can http download my files (or stream media files). However, I am often on a public hotspot and I know it's a matter of time before someone finds the webserver on my computer. I have the machine firewalled and password protected (via .htaccess), but either way I don't want people looking in on my computer.
The problem: I have used Truecrypt for a long time and completely trust using the program to encrypt/unencrypt a volume container to store my files. Usually, I would remote desktop into my computer and mount/unmount the volume when I needed it. However, after time it get's really annoying to do this. So I eventually figured out how to setup a bash script to automatically do this for me (which I put on the usb part of my phone). What I wanted to do was to be able send the bash script to my Ubuntu machine (via ftp from my phone) and have Ubuntu automatically run the script. Is this possible? What programs do I need on Ubuntu?
I was thinking about using something like cron, but that is for scheduled times. I don't really have a set time in which I need my files, it's pretty sporadic depending on how much I travel. Thus the need for being able to remotely mount the volume when I need it.
Summary: I need a way for Ubuntu to read a folder every minute or so to check for bash scripts to run. I want to be able to send the bash script via ftp from my phone, have Ubuntu run the script, then delete itself (so as to not store the password). I already know the script in which to mount the Truecrypt volume and how to send the file via ftp from my phone. It's really a matter of what program to use in Ubuntu to find and run the script.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need a program which generates events when a file is moved, removed or its extended attributes are changed. I'm running Ubuntu Karmic Koala 32-bit desktop.inotify is the standard solution for such problems, but inotify cannot install a recursive watch, so the only option is to the equivalent of find on the filesystem, and add an inotify watch on each node. This is what e.g. inotifywatch does. This won't work for me, because my filesystem has 1 million files, and installing watches to all of them takes forever.
fanotify could work except that I would have to patch the kernel for that (I'm currently running 2.6.31-20), and maintaining patches to the Linux kernel is beyond my time commitment.I used to use rfsdelta (whose kernel module is similar to rlocate), but it just doesn't compile on 2.6.31, because it uses obsolete Linux security framework APIs.
I create a bash script that writes another bash file. But in the generated bash file I want to write a bash command in the file and not executing it.Here's my bash file:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cat > ~/generateGridmix2data.sh << END
[code]...
below are the details of my system. I have bash as my current shell, some really common commands aren't working.
Do I need to do a re-installation of bash? Or how do I install a selection of bash commands which I need? (for example a subset of [URL])

I'm writing a script that will send an alert email given certain conditions. I have the impression that sendmail is what I need to do that. I just don't know how to use sendmail at all. I assume I have to set it up like a typical mail client so that it has a mail server to log into to send from.
I've looked through the man pages, but I can't find anything in plain English there on how to set it up, or how to use it once it is set up.
What happens when the script executes is that the ssh connection works and parks me at the remote hosts's shell login. Therefore, the "firefox" command refuses to execute. I need to know how to make the "ssh" connection occur, stay open, and go into the background so that the rest of the script can execute.If I could also do this with the "firefox" line so that the entire term window could be closed would also be helpful.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to log the notifications that show up in the desktop? For example:
a)When pidgin notifies you that you have a new message can you "save" that notification?
b)When transmission informs you that a torrent finished downloading can you log that notification?
Or if you can't log them can you make a script that "catches" those notifications? What I want to do is that when a certain notification pops it triggers an app or a script. So if I can log the notifications I can "watch" for changes in the log file and trigger something; or if can "catch" the notification I could also do that. I think it can, somehow, be done with d-bus but I can't find my way around the documentation.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Specto and created 2 watches. One for a gmail account, and one for a website. Both have changed since then but I have not received any notifications. There are no errors in the error log.I think this problem might have something to do with the fact that I altered the default Ubuntu 9.04 bars (long before installing Specto). I eliminated the top bar on the desktop. Would this somehow prevent Specto from functioning. Its logs indicate that it is doing its tasks, but I don't see the notifications.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to monitor PHP errors / warnings on few of our servers. The idea is to send email to developers / admins when PHP error/warning occurs on the server. Currently we run very ugly shell script from cron to do this which I want to replace with something better.I was thinking would logwatch be a good candidate for this. Run logwatch from cron every 5 minutes to check php service logs for the last 5 minutes?I've tried to get logwatch to check logs for last x minutes but so far without luck. Anyone already done this or should I go some other route with this?I'm using SLES as my test machine. I've installed the logwatch rpm and configured the PHP settings as shown here.
Currently I can get php log output when specifying '--range All' but how to tell it to display last few minutes logs?I've tried lot of range variations but nothing seems to work.I also tested adding 'for that minute / for those minutes' to the range command but then it won't output anything at all.
my monitor also doubles as my tv and i like to watch hulu videos and movies on it from my computer and i wanna be able to tell who comes online and who logs off, i want these notifications to appear on top of the videos that are playing in full screenis there like a plug in for this or special way of getting this kind of thing working i use my 20" tv as a monitor and tv.
