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.

Most nights I fall asleep watching tv or movies. I want the computer to go to sleep after I do. Under Power Management Properties I have "put computer to sleep when inactive for 1:00" yes - to " spin down hard disks" and "put display to sleep when inactive for 1:00"
I'd say 65% of the time I wake up and the computer is running, not suspended, and 45% of the time the monitor is still on. Over the past 8 months or so I have been trying different media players. I tend to have the same problem of the computer not sleeping with all of them. (Banshee, Miro, xbmc, boxee, vlc, totem, )
1. Is there a process I can look for that may be running some of the time that would hinder the suspend function?
2. Is there a simple script I can write for "suspend in 90 minutes"
3. I think I remember seeing way to do this from the CLI with pm-suspend, yeah?
Edit- I found this http://bit.ly/hpThVM
Things I tested that didn't work
~$ sudo echo pm-suspend | at 12:27
~$ sudo sleep 30s

I'm trying to make a shell script that will list the 50 newest files in a directory with several subdirectories in. I've been trying with the find-command with no luck and now I've figured I should probably use ls. The problem is when I do "ls -lRt | head -50" it will do 1 directory at the time. It will not first make the full list and then sort it. This will display all items in first directory, sorted, then the newest directory will be sorted and displayed. So I figured I have to sort the whole process of ls before I limit the head. So this is where I am at now: ls -lRt | sort <something clever here> | head -50
Only doing a "|sort|" will sort it by name if I understand it right and I don't know how to solve it. Here's also my first attempt if that is of any interrest or help, this was limited by the change status time of files (so some lists got very large). These lists dit not get sorted by time and I could not find any way to do so.find $ftpDir -ctime $time -type f -print > $ftpFileLsAny help on this would be appreciated since I'm sort of stuck now. After reading manuals for all the options I can think of and still there's just a big blur in my head..

Possibly related to this previous question, I would like to be able to run a task for a specified amount of time, then stop/kill it, then start it again. Specifically, I run the Folding@Home application on my Linux workstation. Periodically, it will have trouble logging-in to the home server, and will sit idle for a long time, but not release memory/resources it has claimed (yes, I realize this is likely a bug in the tool, but I can't fix that currently). Typically just the act of killing and starting the tool will allow it to check-in again. So, I would like to be able to run something like:
run_for <time> ./fah6
Does such a tool exist, or should I write a wrapper than nukes the fah6 client after, say, a week and restart it?

I have a CentOS5 server with a 1tb hard drive.There is only 80gb of data on that huge drive and now I want to make a bare metal recovery backup using AcronisMy question is, how can I estimate the amount of time the backup will take and the size of the image file? Is it based on the size of my drive or is it based on the amount of data on the drive?

We use a SLES 10 SP2 file server. This file server has all type of files. We want to know what is the amount of space used by mp3 files. What we need to know is the total space in disk of mp3 files. I've been testing du command, and find command, but with no satisfactory results. Does anybody know how to do this?

I'm timing how long it takes to run a command foo. I'm looking to append the results from the time command to a file, and discard the results from the foo command. I tried the following, but it didn't do what I want:
$ time ./foo > /dev/null >> output_from_time_command.txt

I am trying to use the time command to measure the execution time of a small program. The problem is that the command has three outputs. They look like this:
Code:
$ time ./a.out
real0m51.935s
user0m51.060s
sys0m0.040s
Should the execution time be the sum of the user and the sys time? sys time is really small.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4, I enter the command:net time set -I 192.59.196.66Where 192.59.196.66 is the IP address of a Windows Server 2008 time serverThe response is:/bin/date 071218072010.20 failed. Error was (Success)The actual clock time does not get updated. However, evidently it did really communicate with the time server on 192.59.196.66, because the value in the response 071218072010.20 does correspond to the time on the time server, albeit in the somewhat bizarre format MMDDHHMMYYYY.SS.

I use two monitors,my problem is that I want to change the setup,so that the other monitor becomes default.There's no problem with my BIOS settings and I have tried every GUI tool that could help me(to my knowledge).Well I've found this URL...that helps a lot but I want to execute the command every time I boot before the splash screen(so that the login screen appears on the right monitor).I've tried rc.local but had no success.Any ideas on how to execute the command at boot time?

I decided to install Chromium OS to my dad's netbook, and it works perfectly. The only problem is that i can't change the time. Luckily, I can access a command line by pressing CTRL+ALT+T. So maybe I can change it from the command line.

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on a dual boot with Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) Dell Inspiron 560s.
As long as I am engaged in activity in Ubuntu all is well. However, if I leave my computer to get a cup of coffee I find on my return the computer screen is blank and when I activate it a window comes up asking me to enter my password to take it out of lockout, leave a message etc.
I can't seem to find the appropriate command to increase the time before I get locked out.
What steps can I take to increase the time the system stays active before I am kicked out and have enter my password again?

I would appreciate help with how to extract the date and time from at command jobs. From what I can tell, the date and time is embedded in the file name (/var/spool/atjobs).I'd be using this information in a (bash) shell script.

I use the time command to measure the wall-clock time of a GPU implementation of an algorithm. When I time the CPU execution of the algorithm time returns a negligible sys time. However, when I time the GPU execution time returns a sys time that is around 20-30% of the total time. If that time was comparable with the negligible sys time of the CPU I would achieve a speedup of a few times higher.
I suspect that the increased sys time is because of the GPU usage, which, I assume, takes some time for the OS because of the drivers etc. I am not sure though, and it is important to figure this out because it will improve my results a lot if I can ignore the sys time and use just the user time for speedup calculations. Also, is there a way to see, in detail, what is the sys running and takes so much time. I am thinking that I might be able to see if it is the driver indeed that causes this delay.

I was reading that if I want to do a one time scheduled command, I should use at, which I've never done, as opposed to cron, which i'm kinda familiar with. But what I want to do is reboot my server at 3am tomorrow and force it to check the file systems with a shutdown -rF. For this do I even need to use "at" or could I just say shutdown -rF 3:00.Will that also know that I mean 3am tomorrow and not say in 3 minutes from now or 3pm?
