Software :: Searching For An RSS Feed Or Mailing List That Announces New Software?
Mar 29, 2011
One of the things that I have found useful in the past are mailing lists which focus on providing a brief description of a new software item, why one would use it, and then the link to use for downloading.
I have reading the sourceforge list for this type of thing, and I have also subscribed in the past to a couple of these types of lists for other platforms. Are there Linux software announcement lists designed to expose a new Linux user to the wonderful software alternatives available to them?
I have seen some lists by some groups where the descriptions are vague or highly technical, covering lists of bug fixes, etc. but seldom actually describing the software itself. The kind of thing I am imagining would be intended for someone new to Linux, providing them enough description to raise their interest into exploring new applications.
Myself and a friend have our own small IT business; we mainly design and build web sites for other small businesses. One of the things we would like to offer to clients is the ability to relay email addressed to their company's domain to their own personal email address (either web-based, or hosted by their ISP).
Now, clearly there is a risk of our mail relay being marked as "open", and therefore becoming black listed as a source of spam. Not something that we want to happen!setting up such a system? I understand how I would go about configuring an MTA like Postfix or Sendmail to perform such a task, but I'm unsure how I would ensure that relayed mail is delivered and we're not labeled as spammers.
I did wonder if perhaps the "mail forwarding" options in a mail server like Zimbra would get around the issue by forwarding on messages inline or as attachments within new emails (so the messages would appear to be from the account hosted on our server).
I've got a general question : I am using F13 for servers... I planned to use a mailing list now.
1) Which one would you recommend ? Mailman or Majordomo ? 2) I am looking for the possibility to get feedback of the mailing list.. ( Who opened, how many times..etc... )
Does Mailman provide this kind of info? (I didn't find anything on this during my first research). If not, which additional software can do it?
Can anyone recommend a good mailing list software package? I was using group mail under windows but before I set up a windows machine for this task, I thought I would try to find a linux solution.
I am new to Linux and we want to broadcast an email to every member of our institution. Currently we have more than 150 email addresses and 2 email lists. The mail server is running on Redhat version 5, x86_64/i386
Just i want to ask doubts in c programming. I dont know whether this is the right place to ask doubts in c. If this is not a correct place, may i know where can i get help for c programming?is there any active forum or mailing list for c programming?
I need to fgrep a list of things which are in a file. The file in which I will do the SEACHING is a large text file and I need fgrep to output each item from the list as a file with the item from the list as the file name.
I have been having some fun with the shell but have become a little lost. I want to be able to email (myself and others) outputs from various commands etc. Sometimes people wish to know the contents of my music library etc and it's nice to be able to ssh in and email an ls (or similar) output.
Here is what I have been doing: Code: ls -R /home/simon/mount/sata0/audio > /tmp/musiclist mail -s $(date +%Y%m%d) email@domain.com < /tmp/musiclist The date part works perfectly and I receive an email with a subject suiting my preferential YYYYMMDD format.
But what I'd like to figure out is how to get this into a single line of code, my first attempt was: Code: mail -s $(date +%Y%m%d) email@domain.com < $(ls -R /home/simon/mount/sata0/audio) This generates an error: -bash: $(ls -R /home/simon/mount/sata0/audio): ambiguous redirect But if I simply run the code "ls -R /home/simon/mount/sata0/audio" - the output is exactly what I want.
Is what I'm trying to do even possible? I do realise that I could use something like this Code: ls -R /directory > /tmp/file && mail -s $(date +%Y%m%d) email@domain.com < /tmp/file But this is still running two commands and I'd like to figure out how to be 'cleverer'.
does any linux admins out there have any mailing lists that they subscribe to? I go to lots of sites for knowledge but i was trying to put together the double whammy and pull together a solid mailing list for linux admins as well.
I have this code that is 'bashed' regularly with crontab and basically it will send me an E-Mail of most of the output but it misses out some of it!
Here is the crontab code to automatically run the script:
Code:
So that sends me an E-mail with most of the output of the following code:
Code:
It sends me everything up to echo "*******" "Begin compressing and transferring files" "*******" but it wont output the tar bit.. so it should give me a list of files that have been tarred.
I have imported a csv address book into Evolution, which seemed to work, and I have composed a couple of emails to different people. Their email addresses seems to be entered, but when I send them, they are immediately kicked back telling me that the recipient is invalid. It provides their email and IP address, but tells me that they are invalid. I am receiving mail, so that is not a problem. I would reply to the mails I got to see what happens, but they are more or less spam. I'm pretty sure that I have the account configured correctly, but am at a loss.
how to create a mailing list using the 'newlist' command in /var/local/mailman/. I sucessfully create the list and i receive a confirmation message but after adding members to the list, none of them receives mail sent to list.
I'm using sendmail on a small server and in addition to several users I have a few small email lists implemented in the aliases file. Is there any way to secure these aliases so that they can only be used by users with accounts on the machine already?
I'm getting a lot of external spam sent to the lists and I figure this is the easiest way to deal with it. 100% security isn't even necessary if I can stop most of the spam (i.e. causing sendmail to discard any mail sent to the lists that don't originate with the same domain name as the server would kill 99% of the spam since most of it doesn't have a spoofed email matching our server's domain name). I'm using Debian Lenny.
Im creating a perl script that will be sending out mail to mailing-lists, but im not getting it to work. Its no problem getting the script to send mail to regular mail addresses, but it doesnt seem to handle to send mail to mailing lists. Im using the Net::SMTP perl module.how to send mail from a perl script to a mailing list (and not just regular mail addresses) ?
I'm writing a simple bash script and I would like it to be able to to execute top (that's the easy part) and then to supply the parameters to top programatically.
Here is the explanation: Top is an interactive program that requires user input to do stuff, sort etc. I would like to programatically do so, for example:

I want to create my own Atom feed file covering some informational posts on a web page. I will maintain it by hand, so I would prefer it to be as minimalistic a file as possible, yet still a valid Atom file.I found Atom specification documents online, but there was so much information I felt like a rowboat on the Pacific ocean. I did not find a specific section declaring exactly what /had/ to be in a Atom feed file.
From reading around the web, it looks like Firefox's "quick view" of an RSS feed sometimes lets you "Subscribe to this feed using" Thunderbird. For whatever reason, that's not an automatically-added option with my setup (FF 3.5.something + Thunderbird 3.0.something on Linux), so I figured I could just "Choose Application...", point at the Thunderbird binary, and be on my way. Not so -- nothing appears to happen. If I run thunderbird from the command line as
thunderbird "http://path/to/feed" the app launches as normal. If it's already running, absolutely nothing happens. Is this impossible? Is there some mojo I can pass Firefox to tell it that Thunderbird exists? Should I just suck it up and copy/paste the URLs manually?
Is there a way by which I can read RSS feeds from the terminal itself ? Something that would display the titles and a link to follow. Or maybe a software which works from within the terminal.
I would like Canonical to set up an official torrent rss feed with the lastest ubuntu torrents. Users could use set up the feed in their torrent program. On release day they could start the torrent download as soon as possible.
When subscribing to new feed, rhythmbox downloads new episodes as it should. when restarting rhythmbox, the program does not download new episodes any more. only thing that works is deleting feed and re-installing.In Launchpad this is known as Bug #377189 There is also written that:"This bug was fixed in the package rhythmbox - 0.12.7-0ubuntu8"nksHow to Get and Install this Package?
I'm trying to set up Transmission/Deluge to do RSS feed downloading. I've got the clients working when I drop a torrent into the folder just fine, but FlexGet is giving me some trouble. I'm using feeds from EZTV & EZRSS to get the torrents for a show. I've used the feeds for months for uTorrent in Windows, so I know they're good. Below is my ~/.flexget/config.yml file.
Code: feeds: The Daily Show: rss: 'https://www.ezrss.it/search/index.php?show_name=The+Daily+Show&date=&quality=&release_group=&mode=rss' series: - The Daily Show
[Code]...
Error) download download Failed The Daily Show 2011-01-17 [HDTV - FQM] (URL Error) This happens for every torrent in the feed. I think it has something to do with it substituting %28 for [, %29 for ], and so on, but I'm not sure how to fix it (or if it's actually the problem).
I have three different webcams. All Logitech. Two are "cheapo" ones, and one is a more expensive, HD one. I'm running the stock Maverick desktop install, with no specifical extras for the video or the like. I plug in the webcam (doesn't matter which one I use) and it is picked up and can be used. Not a problem, but when I view the feed, the its laggy and choppy. If I plug in the cam onto my Windows XP or Window 7 installs (on the same laptop), the feed is smooth and has no issues. So I figure it has to be something to do with my settings or configurations. Problem is, I can't seem to find out what I need to tweak to smoothen or improve the feed. I've tried reducing the resolution of the feed to the minimum, but that hasn't helped.
Just to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. If I film myself typing at my laptop keyboard, I can see my hands move around the keyboard when I view the footage in Windows, but when I film it in Ubuntu, it's very jumpy, and my hands seem to jump about all over the keyboard -- almost as if something can't keep up.
