Programming :: Make Script That Runs Program As Another User With Pass?

Jun 7, 2010

I'm trying to do a shell script which are suppose to run a program as a specific user at system boot up. The problem is that I don't know for sure how to make the script add the users password to the prompt when it's necessary.

Basically the program would be run like this:

sudo -u extrema program_name -r /srv/program_name -d

and in this example the password is, "hidden".

How would I make this script run this program as user extrema with the password "hidden" at boot-up? I know how to put the script in the rc.X directory and so on, its more the syntax of the code.

Programming :: Script To Pass Multiple Files To Program?

Feb 8, 2011

I'm playing around with a bash script to pass files to a program (such as VLC). I thought something like this would work:

vlc $( ls | sed 's/ /\ /g' | tr '
' ' ' )

ls shows the files in the current directory, then sed changes spaces to " " (to escape them) and finally tr removes the line breaks. I end up changing:

01 - Music Track.mp3
02 - Another Track.mp3
to

01 - Music Track.mp3 02 - Another Track.mp3

"vlc 01 - Music Track.mp3 02 - Another Track.mp3" works if I type it manually but my script reports a problem with `-'

It seems it's not escaping the spaces.

Programming :: Errors - Make Pop-up Reminders For The Simple Calendar Program?

Feb 21, 2010

First off, I'm completely new to bash scripting so forgive me if I make any egregious errors. I'm trying to make pop-up reminders for the simple calendar program when. This is what I have so far:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# set the time format for when
#current="$(date +%I:%M %p)"
current="$(date +%-l%p)"
today=~/.when/today

[Code]....

When I run the script, gxmessage pops up and displays the correct information, but it does so for each line in "~/.when/today" that contains a time that matches the current system time (which would be three pop-ups at 10PM, according to the example). I want it to display the information only once. How can this be accomplished? Is a while loop even the right job for this?

Programming :: Make A Program That Maintains A List Of Tags That Can Be Attached To A Set Of Files?

Jul 28, 2010

I want to make a program that maintains a list of tags that can be attached to a set of files. Store the tags in the files. The main problem is that there is no way to get a list of all the tags without reading each and every file. And also what if you have an unused tag? Have a file that contains tag "keys" and file list "values". This seems like it would be fast and effective, but what if one of the files gets renamed?

Programming :: Simulate A Serial Protocol In User Space Program To Test Reception Algorithm?

Jul 28, 2010

I want to simulate a serial protocol in user space program to test reception algorithm. The protocol is similar to UART protocol but frame format is different. The duration of 1 bit is 114,46 us. In my main function I'm creating two threads. Tx for simulating transmitting data and Rx for reception data. For measure time I use create_timer() function and signals. Each thread has its own timer and signal handler. Tx timer uses SIGUSR1 and Rx timer uses SIGUSR2. Tx thread sets the global variable and Rx reads it.

The timers are set to sample with 114,46 us period. When they reach this value signal handler should set the flag. Flag is check in thread and some operation are made. When I set the timers period for longer time (100 ms) everything works fine but when I change it to default value (114,46 us) the Rx thread doesn't receive the proper data. I am wondering if the 114,46 timer period is possible to simulate in user space? Whether the time will give me the proper resolution ? Theoretically it should provide 1 ns resolution.

Server :: Which User Runs Apache/PHP?

Aug 27, 2010

I migrated joomla to my new server and noticed that the script doesn't have the permission to edit it's own configuration file and write to the cache folder. All my files are owned by root, which I guess isn't a good idea.

As what user do the PHP scripts run? Or is this system specific? I don't want to chmod all files to 777 so I'd just like to change file and folder ownerships to the user that is executing that script.

Ubuntu :: Curious: Make A .deb That Just Runs A Script?

Dec 13, 2010

I know, running a script is pretty easy itself, but some people (family, gf) just hate using the terminal and assisting them remotely, you have no idea what they are really doing on the other side of the screen. This way, they can essentially just double click and enter their password. I was curious. How can I easily create a .deb package for this script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get install -y libnotify-bin
sudo apt-get purge -y firefox
sudo apt-get purge -y flashplugin-*
sudo apt-get purge -y adobe-flashplugin

Networking :: How Can We Make Port 110 And 25 Packets Pass?

Feb 22, 2011

I've a strange situation in my network: pcs gatewayed to another network, then a proxy, then a firewall.pcs --> router --> cloud --> router --> proxy --> switch <-- fw --> Internet(router, proxy and fw are alla connected by the switch)Some months ago the situation was: pcs --> router --> cloud --> router --> switch <-- fw --> Internet.There was a static route in the router that gatewayed the packets to the firewall, but that route has been deleted, and I cannot reinsert it because I've not access to the routers, so we have to use a proxy to go to Internet, and we have the configuration of all pcs (Windows XP) with the fields "proxy" filled.The proxy ha only one NIC gatewayed to the firewall, and Ubuntu and squid installed, but we have some problems:

1. we cannot use email, so how can we make port 110 and 25 packets pass?

2. squid seems to slow down, so can we uninstall it and route all the traffic directly to the firewall to speed up?

General :: Arch Usability - Pass Arguments From A Shell Script To A Program?

May 7, 2010

1. What file do i have to edit in order to include /usr/local/bin in the class path (ie. I put an executable in /usr/local/bin and when I try to execute it, it says the command cannot be found, etc.) EDIT: Solved, just didn't set PATH correctly. EDIT: New problem. When I try to execute a program in /usr/local/bin, it says "fopen: john.ini: File not found" Yet when i cd to /usr/local/bin, it doesn't say that. What would cause this?

2. Once I get my system setup the way i like it, how would i go about making it into a bootable CD/DVD?

3. How would I pass arguments from a shell script to a program?

Ubuntu :: Computer Runs Slower Than Windows / Make It Up?

Oct 1, 2010

I have a 2-year old DELL XPS M1330. I used to have Windows Vista on it, but over time, I believe it became clogged with too many programs and so I wiped the hard drive and installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS about 2 weeks ago. However, ubuntu many times seems to run slower than vista did. I have 4 GB of RAM, an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 (2.1 GHz, 3MB Cache, 800MHz FSB), 320GB HDD, 128MB nVIDIA GeForce 8400M. Ubuntu recognizes me as having dual processors at 2.1 GHz and 3.4GB RAM, but when I'm watching a simple video, whether online or locally on the computer, my CPU usage invariably jumps to 100% and it lags. Sometimes, even simple word processing makes it slow significantly.
