Fedora :: Make A Simple Startup Script
Apr 27, 2010make a start up script so that it executes this command: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state I managed to execute it writing command to .bashrc, but every time I open terminal it starts like this:
[Code].....
I need this command on start up, so that my battery meter starts working properly. For some reason, if the command is not activated, gnome battery meter is showing that battery is charging even if I am not on AC power. If there is any other way to fix this without making script I would be glad to hear.

Ubuntu :: Make A Startup Script That Executes A Simple Php Script At Boot?
Mar 24, 2011trying to make a startup script that executes a simple php script at boot. The stipulation is that it must be run after fstab is processed because it requires access to a volume that fstab mounts. As it is, it doesn't seem to be running properly at startup, and I suspect that it is simply running before the volume is mounted. The script does not need root access. If I run it once I login, it works fine.
Also, is there a way to determine the output of a startup script?I am have configured a bash script called module.sh that cd's to the scripts directory (in the external volume) and then executes the script. I didn't forget the ampersand after the php invocation. I used update-rc.d module.sh defaults to configure it.
General :: Simple Bash Command Causing Bad Variable Name
Feb 18, 2010When I run this command from shell, it runs ok
export REVS=`svn info svn+ssh://svn.myone.ca/var/svn/story/trunk/lib |grep 'Last Changed Rev:'| awk -F: '{print $2}'`
However when I save it into a file called test.sh (of course, I chmod it with +x), I got error "export: 2: bad variable name"
Here is the file:
#!/bin/bash

Programming :: PHP - Creating Basic Simple SSH Command To Machine Over SSL?
Jan 18, 2011I was thinking to install a very basic SSH gate, secured over SSL, like this [URL]
using PHP. However I would like to have it very basic and simple to install. (not database SQL, nor complicated things, ...) so that I get a prompt page with login and password to access the SSH-internet, and then can SSH the linux box over SSL and regular port 80 like they do. passwd would be in a txt file or whatever. You use index.htm and no one can scroll the tree of the directory. Would have someone already embedded php code for that?

Ubuntu :: Run Command In Terminal On Startup
Jan 8, 2010I know how to make things run at startup, and obviously know how to run a command in terminal (type and enter... duhhhh). However I would like to be able to run vnstat in terminal when my computer logs in, this is very handy for seeing how much I have downloaded. I have a terminal embedded on the desktop and would very much like to run vnstat in it for me when it starts, I know I could just type in vnstat when I've logged on, but where is the fun in that? Just having it already there for me would be far better.
The command for starting my desktop terminal is as follows:
Code:
gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=trans --geometry 90x40+280+30
Ubuntu :: Command On Startup - Good Or Bad?
Mar 14, 2010Relative newbie here - seeking advice on having a command run on start-up. Specifically, I want to have a chgrp and chown execute on a specific directory, subdirectory and associated files. I'm not looking for advice on how to do it (I'd like to muddle through it on my own - I learn better). And, I'm not looking for alternatives. Background - I think this is the easiest way for me to have two users on the same PC upload photos that each user can have full access to, and do things like back-up etc.

Nov 9, 2010I've searched everywhere, but they all talk about BOOTING into the terminal instead of ubuntu. But here all I want is for ubuntu to automatically run a certain command when I boot into ubuntu.This is related to the screen brightness change problem that's still much of an unsolved mystery for ubuntu and I have mostly solved this 'm able to change the brightness with sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=xx, xx being from 00 to FF, but it doesnt seem to stay when I log out and log back in. Is there any possible way to put a terminal command in the startup applications or something or a possible solution to the brightness problem that I havent discovered yet?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Command-line Interface At Startup?
Feb 4, 2010So I just partitioned my hard-drive, one side with windows the other to set free for ubuntu. It all worked fine. I put in the liveCD of ubuntu 9.10 and installed on to the partition. However, I have a problem. When it boots up it asks me to either boot into linux 2.6 or windows 7. Windows 7 works fine, but when I boot into ubuntu, the loading screen comes up and then it doesn't seem to boot into GDM. It's all command-line interface. I've tried sudo apt-get update and upgrade, but it isn't connected to my network yet so I can't do that. What can I do?
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Edit Startup Scripts To Add An Arbitrary Command?
Oct 11, 2010sometimes you want to run a command every time computer boots up. In DOS there is "autoexec.bat" in windows - "Startup" menu and I'm sure that there is a similar thing exists for Ubuntu, but that's not what I'm after.These things above will run a command when a user logs on. I want to run a command when a pc boots up. This is not straightforward in Windows, but since I'm a windows guy I can do this. I can install a command as a service with srvany utility that will make sure it will execute on boot up.Now I want to do a similar thing in ubuntu. how do I edit startup scripts in ubuntu to add an arbitrary command? I need to run the command in the context of a particular user, so I normally do it like this:
Code:
sudo -u myServiceUser -i myService
But I want as little downtime as possible and sometimes it takes sometime to find out that there has been a reboot, get to a computer and run the command manually. If I could run this automatically on bootup I wouldn't have this problem.
