I'd like to know if there is a script that can check and see if an application has been closed (I don't know a great deal about bash programming).I'm running an organ programme with this script.
/usr/bin/jackd -r -t5000 -dalsa -dhw:0 -r44100 -p1024 -n2 -P &
java -jar /home/user/jOrgan/jorgan.jar &
jack-rack -s space space &
Let's say that I've installed the following versions of R on my computer.
R 2.10 R 2.11 R 2.12
Is there a bash command which can be used to getst of all versions which are installed.I've used dpkg --get-selections | grep r-base but that just return 'r-base' and i'd have no info on the version.
I have backup_server and application_server.backup_server has directory AAA. I need to check from application serverthat is there any new files created today in the AAA dirctory. if yes, all files were created today or partial files?.
I need a script that is able to check if a service is running or not. It has to do it automatic since it is for restarting a GameServer.
I tried to make one myself, but since the .x86 file has the same name for every server, it is hard to know a way to check if the server is running with the right process.
Is there a way to make a script which is able to check if a service is running (service has same name, but using other ports)
I wrote up a script to check to see if any VMs are running in VirtualBox, and if there are, it would save the state they are in and then reboot or shutdown the host.Is there a way to make that script run outside of using an alias for "reboot" and "halt" when I run those two commands?Here's the script:
Code: #!/bin/bash if [[ -n $(VBoxManage -nologo list runningvms) ]]
My DVD/CD burner is rather old now (going on 5 years), and I've had some "quality" issues when I've been burning stuff for the past year.
CD's: When I play a burned CD in my car stereo, the songs have a "skipping" sound to them on the low-volume levels of the audio. I use K3b as my burning software, and it seems to be the best, but am I wrong? Is this a common problem?
DVD's: Specifically video DVD's. After converting the .avi to an image file using DeVeDe Creator, it gives me a file that has the .iso and I burn the disc using K3b. It's really hit or miss.
The question: is there a way to test the performance of my DVD burner to make sure it's working properly? Is there a way to calibrate the mechanism? I have a new External DVD/CD burner that supports "LiteScribe" (I could be mistaken on the name, but it's a technology that allows you to create a picture on the opposite side of the disc), but my INTERNAL is a 5 year old Lite-On.
My question is how to check whether this script is running or not (It can be checked every 10 minutes) and how to make it as a service. (I don't have root access to put this in rc.local file or somewhere else).
How do i check if NFS mounts are still up and running?
when i do the command MOUNT , i get some result, but how can i see (or check) if they still up and running? I'm not so familiar with this command, so i hope that someone can guide me
I know that there must be some NFS links mounted, so if one fails, i need to see that with like an echo or something.
It works good , but sometime it NEVER respond (neither after 1 hour) , so I receive no notification . DO you know alternative command to the command above ?
I Bought A New Centos VPS,Not Much Details Are Provided About Setup Etc..I Wanted To Check If FTP Service Is Running Or Not And Which FTP Daemon Is Running.(Is There Any FTP Daemon Pre-Installed With Centos)
When I installed CentOS v5, I declined the FTP server that cane with it because I have used and prefer ProFTPd. Now I'm not so sure what's running. How do I check what FTP is installed and / or running? ALSO there seem to be TWO ProFTPd conf files, one at:
[code]...
They have different content. Which is the one that is being used?
As the thread states, I wonder why my RAM usage is about 56% without any application running. It turns to 58% while opening Firefox (with only one Tab/Page opened) and typing this post. Is there something wrong?
I need to check and see that dbus, udisks and gvfs are running correctly, how can I check them?
I'm running only LXDE on a custom install of Lucid I did and I can't get my usb hard drive to automount properly and I was told by an LXDE developer that I need to check and make sure these three are running ok.
So I just installed ubuntu from a net install, and updated from the internet and posted on this site through firefox while installing vlc wich just froze at 90%.....
but when I try to add community repos it comes up with errors. And while running a system check it says I have no internet connection...
I'm connected through ethernet on a router wich works with the g5 in the other room running osx, and the pc upstairs running ubuntu meerkat. Now I had this same problem with SUSE 11.1 and worked around it by adding through terminal but I was never able to add from the GUI.
so I wrote a small script that pretty much just takes in two numbers and counts from the first to the second, e.g.
unknown-hacker|544> count.sh 1 3 1 2 3
My problem is I want to make it so that if you input invalid parameters, such as non-numerical characters, more than 2 numbers, etc., you'd get an error message
I have a bash script that messages the user periodically. Is there any way in the script to check if the screensaver is running, so the script doesn't spam messages while the user is away? The xscreensaver process is always running in the background, I've noticed.
i've some trouble to write a script on java on linux to check if service(ie:smbd) is runing or not,, could you give me some example? Or if is there any source about it for me to learn? i've two days search with zero result...
I'm having trouble trying to make a script. What I want to do is check if xScreenSaver is running in my user account. If not, run it. If it's running, kill it.
So this is the script I've made:
Code:
The problem is that I've echoed the output of $(pgrep -u $(whoami) xscreensaver) and it always seems to add 4 numbers to the pid, even if the pid doesn't exist. What do I mean by "doesn't exist"? That no xscreensaver is running in my user, and if I run pgrep -u $(whoami) xscreensaver in bash, I get not output, but if I run the command though the script, I get (for instance) 4050. If I run it again, I get 4054, and again 4058... etc. What the hell is going on with that?
I have two computers running Ubuntu. I want to run the copy of Firefox that is on the remote machine. i connect to the remote in the usual way, "ssh -X fermi", which brings up a console on the remote machine, fermi. When I type "firefox", however, it starts the copy of firefox that is on the local machine. On the remote machine, "ps aux|grep firefox" confirms that firefox is not running there. Is there a way to force execution of the remote copy?Or, can I start a local copy of firefox using the remote bookmarks, preferences, etc?
Running the Lynx and I have set up Evolution to download my Gmail e-mails but now I have a question.
When Evolution is running I get the notifications when e-mail come in and the little envelope at the top becomes "lit" to indicate I have new mail. What I want to know is how can I get notified without having the application "open", still having the notifications etc. but without having the application window open (like when you "close" Rhythmbox but it is still running at the top even though the windows is closed)?

I want to launch qiv upon startup to show a series of photos in slideshow fashion (this will be the sole purpose of this particular laptop). I tried adding the command via System->Preferences->Startup Applications but this does not produce the desired result. In fact, the slide show doesn't even start.
I need to take a screen capture while an application is running. The application is a touch screen calibration utility and alt-Prnt Scrn does not work when the calibration utility is active. Is there another way for me to capture the screen while the utility is active?
