Programming :: How To Pause A Batch Script
Apr 7, 2011
As you already know there's a command in the "BATCH" language named pause which causes the program to get any random character and then continues the scripts (which is mostly used to keepscript running and preventing it to do its work and close the command prompt).Something like the "getch".Is there anything similar to this at bash?IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't want my script to stay opened, I want it to get a character (without hitting enter) and continue executing the rest of the script so please don't reply "Tick the keep the terminal opened option" or "Use read"

I'm completely new to scripting and I'm trying to figure out how to write a script that will get a list of all the files in a directorywn through any subdirectories.When I have the list I want to o each file in VI and change the fileformat. So far all I have been able to figure out is that VI can do the batch processing and that "ls -R" gets me the recursive file list. I'm still pretty clueless on how to do the batch process with the VI editor. I think I'm supposed to use the Ex mode but I don't know how to get the list of arguments from the filelist into the editor so they can be processed. If it matters the files were all written in a Windows editor and have gotten the MS carriage returns so I want to do a :set ff=unix command on all the files without having to go into each file manually, there are over 300 files that need updated.

I have written the batch file which will go to the website, wait for input (download button/exit), move to the next algorithym and repeat. My problem is getting the batch file to click the stupid download button. Can I use wget, and can you show me how to use it or point me to a really good api?
Code:
@ECHO OFF
ECHO INSTALLING ADOBE FLASH PLAYER PLUGIN UPDATE

I updated to the newest kernel today ( 2.6.31.12-174.2.19.fc12.x86_64 ) via software updates and noticed there is a 10 second pause just after the grub screen goes away and before plymouth comes up. This never happened with the previous kernel. Anyone notice this?

Sometimes I type 'sudo su - user' in linux and then realise I'm typing it from an application account rather than a user account. I want to ctrl+c to abort the password entry. When I do this, it always freezes for a couple of seconds before it aborts the process and returns me to the shell.

Is there a way to pause installations/updates? If there is not, would it be possible to implement that?It seems these days that installations through synaptic seem to take ages to download files. While downloading the files, ubuntu will not let you run any other package manager. So if I am updating my system or installing several programs through synaptic, I am unable to install anything else. For example a deb file ive downloaded, or i would like to install a single program while all these other files download.
I can understand not being able to install multiple things at once, but why is it not possible to install things while it downloads the files? Sometimes it days several hours/days to download the files.

I'm using a MacBook 2.1 with Lucid.
After i hit Enter in GRUB, there is a message on top of the screen saying "booting up", and it stays there for 20 to 30 seconds. Then everything proceeds normally. I think i caught a message saying that something couldn't be found, but it flashed too rapidly.
Here is an extract of my dmesg. I'm assuming the part between [] is timestamps, and it takes about 40 seconds to go from GRUB to the Login screen, so it fits. Nothing is happening during 32 seconds.
Code:
[ 2.690053] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 2.894315] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 35.053835] udev: starting version 151
[ 35.059728] Adding 1999992k swap on /dev/sda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:1999992k

what i need to do is to be able to place a command to slow down the sequence of commands in an Ubuntu script.
normally, the system will attempt to execute them all as fast as it can, but i need to be able to specify short pauses between commands
anyone know of a useful command to do this?
btw, the "sleep" command i saw somewhere hasn't quite worked in my scripts for some reason.

My system after installing Ubuntu 10.04 has an annoying 30 second pause during the boot process. It comes after BIOS checks and before the splash screen, the monitor is just black with a flashing cursor. The system has two IDE drives (/boot and /home) and a SCSI drive (/). There is a SCSI MO drive on it's own controller.
Partial lspci:
01:09.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892B U160/m (rev 02)
01:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c810 (rev 23)
I attached a clip from bootchart and a boot log file.

I just got F12 installed on my laptop and so far it was a breeze! Thanks to leigh for the fantastic nvidia and compiz installation tips, and to bbfuller for getting the BroadCom wireless working.I do notice, however, that when I press the F button (KDE) there is about a 20-30 second pause before the window pops up. I see the same thing when I start a terminal window.

Using smplayer from Packman in 11.3 - If I play a video (.avi, mp4...whatever) Use space bar to pause. Press to resume fails, but only if you have watched a fair bit or have moved on in the movie.Interestingly the pause symbol comes off as if play has resumed but it's not actually playing. You can press pause again and it shows it as if pausing again.
Darn, this hard to explain.I switched to VLC and it's fine but I can't seem to get that to pick up where I left off (enqueue).ie; if you have the same experience I'd be interested to know.or you know the setting in vlc to resume a movie where you left off..

I have a task that I need to let run while I'm away from the computer. It's very CPU intensive and I've even had to throttle down my processor to 3GHz to keep it from overheating. I'm using a combination of GNOME Sensors App and CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor to control the overheating problem. I have the sensors app set to alarm and "killall" at 61 Degrees Celsius. The sensors app has an option where you can enter a command that it will run for you. All I need is to know what command to run that can pause this task. So later I can resume it.
I know it can be done. System Monitor has an option to "stop" a task. It also has "continue". This is how I've been doing it while I'm at the computer. So if anyone knows what the commands are that System Monitor uses, that would be a huge help. By the way, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with all current updates.
NOTE: For anyone who is about to flame me for having a computer that overheats and wants to tell me that this is the problem I should be after. It only overheats during this process. Not for any games or compiling or rendering or encoding. Nothing else. I have even bought a new heatsink and fan. I have redone the thermal compound on the Processor. My processor usually runs at idle around 36-39 Celcius and under normal load around 47-53 Celsius.

While playing videos on Linux (both Mint and Fedora) I noticed that the video will often pause for about 10 seconds or so while the audio keeps playing. After the 10 second freeze the video resumes where it should be. I've had this problem both on Mint 9 and Fedora 13 and 14.

I have just installed Ubuntu for the first time, and I installed sucessfully World of Warcraft, but I'm noticing some networking issues where my whole network connection seems to pause for about 5-10 seconds at a time, which I finally realized when I played WoW. So i was curious where the settings are that I can change to possible eliminate that, or what others have done to increase their network throughput on their cards.
I'm running Unbuntu 9.10 64bit with the latest version of Wine from the Synaptic Package Manager. The router is a LinksysWRT54G3G-ST and my wireless network card I think is something made from MSI I don't see where to find out what drivers are installed on it I'm probably just looking in the wrong place or I'd give more information on the card.

Is there any app that allows the user to pause/stop apps in a way like xkill? My notebook cpu is a crappy CeleronM from 3 years back. So sometimes I want to just devote all my attention to one app or want to stop some apps from sucking up juices. I don't want to tweak with the nice level manually nor go through sys mon.
XKill I have configured xkill with a hotkey. That way, I press the hotkey, and the cursor turns to a 'X' cross, and I click on the app that I want to kill (usually a hung app). This means I can avoid the console and the system monitor app.
XStop / XPause? Can I do the same for pausing or stopping apps? Bind it to a hotkey and a 'X' cross appear for the cursor, and I can pause apps? Ideally, I should be able to unpause it in similar way.

This problem has occurred over a few years and with a number of Gnome distributions, including Ubuntu and Fedora, and it just won't go away. I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 / Gnome. Almost immediately, windows that opened would grey out and temporarily freeze. The mouse can still move, most of the time. The greying of windows can happen frequently or not a all for a while. The freezing can last a few seconds or many. This inconsistency makes it difficult for me to figure out what is triggering this problem. I don't know if it is hardware related, either.
