I've been trying to create a script to run some tasks, for example: I have this script receita.sh, that needs the input of a time data to run. like: receita.sh <yyyymmdd> and I would like to get it running every 5 am with the computer time date..I have found the command date, that retrieves the system time date like:Thu Jan 6 17:39:39 WET 2011 Is there any way of getting the time date, and make it work in the script

Moreover, I am Home-User, but i am interested to know about these OS's benefits, Where they are used and why...? Is these OS's are not for Home-Users....?
Recently installed 10.10 netbook edition, and evolution is behaving strangely. Albeit I've never used it before, but having read the documentation and googled it a bit I'm still lost. I cannot create or manage task lists. It's as if their functionality has been completely cut out of ev calendar. When I try to go to File->New->Task List, the Task list option does not appear in the menu (not greyed out, nothing). Can't find the button that's supposed to be there either. I've also checked synaptic for evolution task packages, but no avail.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWell I'm totally frustrated. I have been trying to figure out how to use anacron (schedule tasks). I Googled,Binged,Yahooed, and manpaged.I cannot find how to, at least, start anacron. To use 'cron' I use crontab -e. What do i use to start anacron?.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Evolution in Gnome 3 and I'm having this rather annoying issue---whenever I make a new Task, it does NOT show up in the Tasks bar. Even if I try searching for it, the task doesn't show up (even making a new Task List doesn't show up), which makes me think it was never saved properly in the first place. I also tried seeing if there was any sort of error while running Evolution by opening it via the terminal, but I don't get anything. Does anyone else have this issue? Is this a known bug with Evolution
View 2 Replies View RelatedYesterday, I found that the majority of my tasks on Evolution (2.28.3) had just disappeared. I last did a backup of my system 2 weeks ago but in that time important data has been added to my tasks lists on Evolution. I've read around and found that the problem may be fixed by rebuilding evolution-data-server (see here). However, if this means re-compiling evolution-data-server from the package manager, well, I don't seem to keen on doing that unless I can get confirmation of how to implement it, i.e. how do I rebuild evolution-data-server?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi have made a search on this subject and i always find the cron to be the solution for me. But i am asking because i think what i want can be done differently. i have a command line to grab stream and save it. i want this command to be run at different time (hours) on specific days. i should use the "at", as far as i saw here on the forum. But are there other way to do it? can i have a simple script that i run the day of the event, before this occur?

View 3 Replies View RelatedOk so i have a IOn based PC that i use for only xbmc. I previously had a full ubuntu 9.11 install.
I had to reformat the drive but i could not get audio working. I gave the ION Optimized live CD a go and it worked with HDMI audio running perfectly. The thing is when i close xbmc i don't have a desktop, it just goes to command line.
I need to install lirc, copy some keymap files into my xbmc folder and then setup wireless. What would be the best way? Can it all be done through command line? Can i install a desktop environment?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I shut down my computer I want to show some pending tasks that I have to do before leaving the office... I did a local application to manage those tasks, so basically I just want to run a command, and shut down after I kill the app executed. I have already tried with these options:
* /etc/gdm/PostSession/Default --> this works only when I select LogOut option instead Shutdown.
* /etc/rc0.d/K01mycustomscript --> execute script after X is killed
* $HOME/.bash_logout --> This looks like does nothing.
* ./app-to-run && sudo shutdown -h now --> Don't like it for 2 reasons, prompts for sudo password, and can't use my laptop shutdown button.
How could I modify Shutdown dialog ? should I recompile Gnome ? Options? I am using Ubuntu 10.04
I'm running evolution 2.30.3 in ubuntu 10.10, with unity desktop, and I can't find the "purge" option for the tasks. As it disappeared or is it just me not finding it ? Also, while I'm here, I understand that unity is still in development. Where can I report the issues I notice while running it ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAssume I`m a newbie and I want to run two CPU-consuming tasks but with different priorities - I mean one to get more CPU time that the other. How to achieve this in Fedora?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWe are seeing some strange behavior on a Set top Box with the scheduling of tasks. We use 2.6.12 kernel. The issue is when we create a Task, say task1 with a priority of 46.But,this task is not Scheduled to run by the scheduler right away. It gets chance to run only after sometime. What we see here is that I create many other tasks with lower priority than task1,but they are immediately scheduled. Ideally, the task1 should have got scheduled before certain other low priority tasks as it has higher priority. Any patch is available wrt this?
View 3 Replies View Relatedfor the past several months now, whenever the YUM-deamon goes to automatically update, it just says "waiting for other tasks" and after about 10 min it says "can't get yum lock, other program accessing yum" or something to that effect.i get the same message if i try to manually install programs using the graphical program in gNu.
is there another deamon that also could be using yum or the database for programs? i haven't had too much time to trouble shoot the past few months, so i can't give you better descriptions i'm afraid.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI find myself using SSH from my mobile phone to manage administrative tasks when I'm away--completing updates and the like, things that can be done during normal usage but sap my RAM and CPU to the point of frustration, given the hardware I've got to work with. It's convenient, I can do what I wish (without the benefit of an X session) while I'm at work. The issue I run into is the fact that my auth.log is littered with items like this:
Code:
May 16 12:53:17 BETA sshd[18941]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=200.111.184.180
May 16 12:53:19 BETA sshd[18941]: Failed password for invalid user lala from 200.111.184.180 port 41787 ssh2
May 16 12:53:25 BETA sshd[18943]: Invalid user master from 200.111.184.180
Which tells me that some inconspicuous person and/or botnet keeps trying to get into my system. This is generally annoying; at this point, my system isn't used for anything particularly critical; however, the fact that only failures or questionable successes--such as those from my mobile, the IP and Host of which can vary a fair bit (and the host resolution almost always fails, based on the way the IP/Host advertisement is presented to an external host is established--it's essentially manufactured)--doesn't tell me who/what has figured it out. I've done what I can to tamp down SSH access to the system, root is blocked via SSH (a moot item, since root isn't allowed locally), I've limited only my own username as allowed to connect via SSH...all it would take, though, is an alphanumeric dictionary that hits the right combination to get a password prompt, and to be able to brute-force it from there.
Overall, I know there's few, if any ways, to prevent someone attempting to get into my system via SSH; what additional steps can I take to minimize the possibility that I might end up compromised?
I am running my PC and laptop on Ubuntu Lucid, and my netbook on Ubuntu Lucid Netbook Remix. I would like to synchronise my Evolution calendar and task list between the three machines.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically what I wanted to know is, if we turn the computer off (or hibernate/standby) - what will cron do with the tasks that were suppose to be scheduled during that time period the moment u turn it back on? Reason I ask is because i have a backup scheduled for every single hour. And another one I want to schedule for every 15mins. If I turn my comp in standby overnite, I certainly don't want to turn it on in the morning to find cron doing like 30 back up jobs!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running a series of operations on executable matlab scripts which are connecting python and fortran scripts. I schedule the executables in cron. The problem:
- My original matlab scripts work perfectly.
- My executables work perfectly if I run them from the terminal. - Using the gui scheduled tasks and running the scripts once from a button, everything also works fine.
- But when I leave the scheduled tasks run on their own, I get an error! The error can be that the script hangs in general (I have some text logs exported every step to track the progress), or I get an error which never appears when I run the script with any of the other mentioned ways.
- I tried both cron command prompt or the GUI scheduled tasks
- I am running on Ubuntu 64 bit

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'd like to get the information about automatization of the tasks in Linux, more specifically in Fedora with minimal installation (without graphical interface and so on).The application (developed in C) needs to be started automatically when the computer is initialized. I've read about cron but I guess it's not a solution in this case because whenever computer starts the application must run once.I also have read about the/etc/ rc.local file but I made some tests changing it and they didn't work, the computer starts asking me the login and password but nothing run after that.The inittab was the same. In this way, someone know how to initialize an application developed in C when the computer starts?
