General :: Run A Program For A Specific Amount Of Time Starting At A Specific Time?

May 18, 2010

I want to record an internet radio station starting at 2:00am tomorrow morning. The specific program on the radio station lasts until 6:00am. The command I need to run to record the station is: Code:mplayer http://wjcu.jcu.edu:8001/listen.pls -ao pcm:file=indie_heat_of_the_night.wav -vc dummy -vo nullI'd use cron, but 1. I'm not sure how to and 2. it seems unnecessarily complicated for something that I only want to run once. If cron is the only/easiest solution, I guess I'll just have to resort to that, but I'd rather not.

CentOS 5 Networking :: Starting Wireless At Boot Time On SSH Box

Dec 31, 2010

I have a SSH box which is command line only and no X, this will be used remote and i'm trying to get the wireless network configured to start at boot. I'm using wpa_supplicant as the access point is secure with WPA2 At present if I send the following commands the machine will connect to the wifi and be reachable via ssh

ifup wlan0
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -D wext -dd -i wlan0 -B
dhclient wlan0

This does not start at boot but requires manual input of the above commands. I've just come to a complete blank on geting this to start at boot time. Also I would like to set a fixed IP for this box.

Ubuntu :: Starting Processes At Boot Time - Don't Start Privoxy?

Apr 27, 2010

I installed and configured privoxy - everything worked nicely when I run it manually by

Quote:
/etc/init.d/privoxy start

After restarting the computer privoxy wasn't start automatically. I checked the links in /etc/rcX.d - are o.k. I installed sysv-rc-conf - shows that for runlevel 2 - 5 privoxy is running. I changed /etc/rc2.d/S20privoxy to /etc/rc2.d/S99privoxy - to start that process at the end. I installed Boot-Up Manager. Privoxy is marked for start automatically. I added in /etc/rc.local line: /etc/init.d/privoxy start

Privoxy still doesn't turn on at boot time and every time I must start it manually. Could you tell me how could I repair this ?

General :: Starting Wireless Internet For The First Time On CentOS?

Apr 13, 2011

I've just installed CentOS 5.3 on my laptop and trying to connect to wireless internet connection at my home but I've found no success so far. I have a key on my laptop that turns blue when wifi is activated, but it is always red in linux so I guess I need to install some drivers, but I dont know what they are. When I use Windows, it automatically turns blue without doing anything. Also, yum doesnt work as well as its not connected to internet...

General :: How To Program The Command Line To Run A Piece Of Code Multiple Time

Dec 4, 2010

So, I usually write/find a test case generator for any code that I write. This type of code generally leads to some file output. To be thorough, I try and generate many different files to test my code on.

Say the command is like this:

Is there a way to automate this for many different values of the parameters and generate many different files?

I tried:

I wasn't able to use the $i in the filename, and without it the command gave me no errors, but did nothing else either. I know the Unix command line is very powerful, and I have a feeling that this should be possible, but I just don't know how to do it.

General :: Starting Application On Boot?

Dec 11, 2010

I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my pc with XBMC installed. It's set to boot into xbmc on start up and works fine. I also have squeezebox server (a music server for my network) installed and again don't have any trouble. I'd now like to get squeezeslave running, a client for squeezebox server so I added the following lines to /etc/init.d/local:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
squeezeslave -o0 -r3 192.168.1.3 &
exit 0

This fails to start the client on boot, however if I ssh into the machine and run /etc/init.d/local it runs fine.

General :: Starting VNC Upon Boot-up Using Specific User

Oct 27, 2010

So right now VNC is starting a session using :1. When I connect to that session, the terminal is logged in as root. I'd like for the terminal to be logged in as a different user as some of my end users are going to be using this and don't require such privileges. I found that I can "su" to a different user and start a new VNC daemon on :2 and when I connect to that session, the terminal is logged in as that user. What I want to do is get that to run at boot-up.

General :: Create Alternative Boot Without Starting Some Services?

Apr 16, 2010

I would like to create an alternative booting possibility in my GRUB menu that does not start some services (listed by chkconfig) like cups.

I would use this boot during travel where I surely does not need these services and shorter bootup time is preferable. Permanent removal of such services is not an option because I could not miss them during normal daily work.

I use Mandriva 2010 with the latest updates.

Ubuntu :: Starting Up The SPH Program Gadget2 ?

Jul 19, 2011

So basically, for my research I need to use Gadget2. The only problem is, I have no idea how to "install" it, I guess. I've looked in the user help guide but I think it was written more or less for those that actually know what they're doing, hence why my research professor doubted my abilities to get it running.

So, I've downloaded all that .tar.gz files and gotten rid of the .gz part and now I have a bunch of .tar files (Gadget2.0.7, gsl-1.15, fftw-3.2.2, openmpi-1.4.3 and hdf5-1.8.7-freebsd-static). I've also done the whole tar -xvf thing to just extract the files and now I have 5 folders. I looked in their help guides and I think I might've done something right 'cause now I have some lib folders and some etc and some share ones.

I think my message passing interface is operational because every time I shut down my computer now there's this weird screen about some pretty harmless looking stuff like my computer is openly passing messages so I think I'm fine there. But how do I make sure all the other stuff is good? I've tried installing and configuring (maybe not in that order, mind you) but I'm still kinda lost.

SUSE :: Starting A Program With Multiple Versions Installed

Feb 11, 2011

I have matlab installed on a network (I am not the administrator) and we usually start the program by typing "matlab", then choosing one of the version options from the menu i.e. typing "n". So because of this, trying to run matlab programs or commands directly like this... matlab -r ProgramName

...does not work. I just get the menu as usual and everything else is ignored. I assume the admin has overridden the matlab command with their own custom script. So my question is can I start a specific version of the program by specifying the folder that the version is in? I thought it might be something like /opt/matlab/version -r programname

this might look foolish, but I am a bit of a linux noob. Let me know if I should just ask my administrator but I thought there might be something easy I am missing.
