Ubuntu Servers :: Run A Terminal Command With Pause And Resume?
May 17, 2011
I need to run a script that I build to build a word list. Essentially what it does is run through a base list and expands that into billions of words. This way I can keep a small dictionary file and a script to expand it into a larger file (about 500 gigs). This script should take anywhere from 12-14 days to run and on my last day the power went out at my house. Is there anyway I can run this again with a fail over system? I know a battery back up is an ideal addition to my home server but if the power is out for an hour it wouldn't have made a difference. Also if I had the ability to pause the script do a reboot and resume it again that would be amazing.

Using smplayer from Packman in 11.3 - If I play a video (.avi, mp4...whatever) Use space bar to pause. Press to resume fails, but only if you have watched a fair bit or have moved on in the movie.Interestingly the pause symbol comes off as if play has resumed but it's not actually playing. You can press pause again and it shows it as if pausing again.
Darn, this hard to explain.I switched to VLC and it's fine but I can't seem to get that to pick up where I left off (enqueue).ie; if you have the same experience I'd be interested to know.or you know the setting in vlc to resume a movie where you left off..

what i need to do is to be able to place a command to slow down the sequence of commands in an Ubuntu script.
normally, the system will attempt to execute them all as fast as it can, but i need to be able to specify short pauses between commands
anyone know of a useful command to do this?
btw, the "sleep" command i saw somewhere hasn't quite worked in my scripts for some reason.

I have a task that I need to let run while I'm away from the computer. It's very CPU intensive and I've even had to throttle down my processor to 3GHz to keep it from overheating. I'm using a combination of GNOME Sensors App and CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor to control the overheating problem. I have the sensors app set to alarm and "killall" at 61 Degrees Celsius. The sensors app has an option where you can enter a command that it will run for you. All I need is to know what command to run that can pause this task. So later I can resume it.
I know it can be done. System Monitor has an option to "stop" a task. It also has "continue". This is how I've been doing it while I'm at the computer. So if anyone knows what the commands are that System Monitor uses, that would be a huge help. By the way, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 with all current updates.
NOTE: For anyone who is about to flame me for having a computer that overheats and wants to tell me that this is the problem I should be after. It only overheats during this process. Not for any games or compiling or rendering or encoding. Nothing else. I have even bought a new heatsink and fan. I have redone the thermal compound on the Processor. My processor usually runs at idle around 36-39 Celcius and under normal load around 47-53 Celsius.

this has been driving me crazy all week, no matter what I try it just wont work.I have written a script that installs several programs, half way through it requires the machine to be rebooted.what I've been trying do do without success, is when the system restarts a terminal window opens and the script resumes.I've googled this, and it seems other people have aslo tried and failed to acheive the desired result.ok, I know it would be easy to just run the script without the terminal window (using cron @reboot or rc.local), but I really need the verbose output as the user must make 2 selections on the remaing installations.

The man page seems to indicate no. There is /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt on Fedora. It has a hard coded pause in it, but there's got to be a better way than to change that script.

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

However, running with the -g option to invoke gnome-terminal, I get a "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" error.
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to

Is there a way to pause installations/updates? If there is not, would it be possible to implement that?It seems these days that installations through synaptic seem to take ages to download files. While downloading the files, ubuntu will not let you run any other package manager. So if I am updating my system or installing several programs through synaptic, I am unable to install anything else. For example a deb file ive downloaded, or i would like to install a single program while all these other files download.
I can understand not being able to install multiple things at once, but why is it not possible to install things while it downloads the files? Sometimes it days several hours/days to download the files.

I'm using a MacBook 2.1 with Lucid.
After i hit Enter in GRUB, there is a message on top of the screen saying "booting up", and it stays there for 20 to 30 seconds. Then everything proceeds normally. I think i caught a message saying that something couldn't be found, but it flashed too rapidly.
Here is an extract of my dmesg. I'm assuming the part between [] is timestamps, and it takes about 40 seconds to go from GRUB to the Login screen, so it fits. Nothing is happening during 32 seconds.
Code:
[ 2.690053] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 2.894315] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 35.053835] udev: starting version 151
[ 35.059728] Adding 1999992k swap on /dev/sda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:1999992k

My system after installing Ubuntu 10.04 has an annoying 30 second pause during the boot process. It comes after BIOS checks and before the splash screen, the monitor is just black with a flashing cursor. The system has two IDE drives (/boot and /home) and a SCSI drive (/). There is a SCSI MO drive on it's own controller.
Partial lspci:
01:09.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892B U160/m (rev 02)
01:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c810 (rev 23)
I attached a clip from bootchart and a boot log file.

I 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
