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?
I am just looking for a simple program, nothing overly complex with crazy features. Just something that pops up above any browser/window and remains that way until you click it or something. The pop up would occur periodically or at sometime each day. It would say something like "TAKE A BREAK FROM COMPUTER" lol and other things. not suppose to be some full reminder program like a calendar.
i'm a college student studying pc programing, and i was given today a special work and i have to program using miranda... which i've never used it >.< can anyone give me a hand to where to download, how to compile, and a simple tutorial for making a simple program or something?
im trying to build a simple program for my C programming class, this is the source code
#include <stdio.h> int main() { int length, width, length, height, area, perimeter; perimeter = width + length + height; area = width * length + heigth;
[Code]...
i dont see any error (you might)but every time i run it it runs but after it asks me to input for the width i do it but it doesn't take me to the length, it just stays blank until i input another value in the same place for the width, it asks me for 4 inputs in total i don;t know why, and after i run it different times it gives me different values for the perimeter and are. how can I fix this?
I often use cal command in xterm to get calendar info, is there a better way to dock it into my taskbar, or into background of my windows(blackbox, fvwm, etc).
all i want is loading a simple c++ program like hello world with this driver. everything works fine except it doesnt start the program. because ret returns with 0 i think the program works fine but I think i messed up something about how to start the c++ program. i used this example for my program but it doesent work too.

is there anybody out there who can give me a hint what i messed up? i use ubuntu with 2.6.32 Kernel.
i tried a code to accept a character and print the same ! i can accept it with following code but its not working with printing that character i use NASM version 2.07
Code:
segment .data msg1: db 'Enter a key',10 msg1len: equ $-msg1
I need to come up with a script that restarts every month, and sends out a reminder 5 days before the end of the month to all customers on the list with rentals. After 10 days, if their name hasn't be deselected, it will send out a last notice email to remind them of their contract and yada yada. I'm not sure if a web-based script (php) would be better, or a "regular" language like python or something.
I would like to unzip a simple PHP code files, to have a online PHP contact / phone book. Simply, slow, and not database oriented over complicated setups into settings. I have a PHP / web provider (free), not apache. WITHOUT SQL (like before it may exists) something like this [URL]
basically i have to create a simple program with will continually read input from the user until they enter a blank linei know how to read in certain input but not sure how to get it continually in a loop
Here is my program. It asks the user for input and then prints a shape of a certain length. The errors I get when I compile are:
shape.c: In function "main": shape.c:22: error: expected identifier or "(" before "int" shape.c:58: error: expected expression before "return" shape.c:59: error: expected expression before "}" token shape.c:59: error: expected expression before "}" token #include<stdio.h> .....
Please let me know how i will overcome this.I have tried from the past 5 days.

I was wondering if there was some calendar/planner/schedule program for Ubuntu so that I could input all my class HW/lecture/exam schedules for the semester and be able to keep track of whats due and whats going on? I know I could use Gmail's calendar, but I don't know if I will always have internet and I feel like a stand-alone program would be better.
I am trying to compile systemc. Configuration is done OK and Makefiles are created. As soon as the "make" command i issue, recursively reaches the "utils" directory, errors are produced -declaration and include errors.
The files referenced by the errors DO exist and i hava managed to give g++ "-I ${LD_INCLUDE_PATH}, ie the variable, where all header dirs are listed. Libraries and compilers for gcc3.3 and g++3.3, i believe, are installed OK. code...
Using PyQt4, is it possible to make a program where you can separately write custom QWidget subclasses and let the user add/remove them to your main app?
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.
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.
I am trying to make a simple script. The first part works to untar a file. When I try to CD from within my simple script.sh file to the new directory just untared and run the setup commands it just errors out and says something about having no directory or something and saying that it cant make without configuring or something.
#!/bin/bash for file in *.tar.gz do tar -xvzf $file done
I need to make some C program under linux to make some scripts that can talk to my Server's Parallel port by sending some quare signal as high or low, so what i can do ?
Title : Author : Price France : Mark : 40 Persia : John : 50
how i arranged my database. I am trying to write aprogram which does a search either using Title, Author or both.
[Code]....
but i am still unclear on how i am able to make the program check if either on of the input(either $Title or $Author) is not filled up, and if one of it is not filled up, use the other one which is filled to do a search.
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?
I live in a crowded area so I have to use headphones almost all of the time. I just leave them plugged in so when an alarm goes off from Thunderbird or Evolution, I can't hear it. Is there a way to get some use out of my internal system speaker and have a reliable calendar-event-reminder and alarm? I'm talking about the one that will beep from inside the computer even if you have headphones plugged in.
I am running Valgrind on my program. It shows me two errors but mentions only addresses against them and not actual code even on a debug build.
The output is

I need a simple program that I can talk into a microphone and the sound will come out the speakers. I want to use my Computer that's hooked up to the store speakers as a PA System.
I am having a difficult time finding a program that will let me do this without having to record and playback. Any help would be wonderful.
I've got a bunch of hand-written notes which I would like to put into Kabikaboo (great app by the way) - but it is a real pain reading stuff then typing it up. I'd like a speech-to-text app, so I can just read my notes out loud and the computer will turn them into text files.Looking through Synaptic, all I can find is Julius; and that does not seem to be an easy-to-use app at all. So many parameters to set, an impenetratable (to me) manpage; and although I am a CLI user quite often, some kind of GUI would be nice.
I am wanting to try creating a simple program through Terminal. Anything will do. A window or button, etc. I haven't found anything simple enough online yet, but I'm sure they're out there. I just want to expand my knowledge of gtk type stuff. Sorry if this is not the correct category to ask this. I was going to put this on the Community Cafe forum, but chose General Help instead. I am running Ubuntu Lucid. **Edit note: I did try the procedure described at the url (below), but I got all kinds of errors in terminal. [URL]
