Is there an equivalent command that will perform the same task as ALT+F4 keystroke? I want to create a simple script that lirc can use so I can set up a button on my remote to close program windows that pop up (like when plugging in usb thumb drives, inserting a dvd, and other windows), and avoid having to remote desktop or go into CLI to kill the window.
View 9 RepliesThe <Esc> key has an equivalent two-keystroke sequence within vim, I think I remember.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to use a find command with -exec to find the differences between identically-named files in different paths. My initial attempt was to do something like this:
Code: find trunk/ -type f -not -path '*.svn*' -exec diff '{}' `echo '{}' | sed 's/^trunk///'` ;
Unfortunately this does not work at all as expected (the diff ends up executing on the same file)! I have narrowed it down to the subshell (inside the ``) but beyond that I have no idea. For some reason the sed, though written correctly, does not perform the substitution. I've changed the diff to echo and played with the sed command and the only way I can get it to perform _any_ substitution is to use .* as the regex. Even s/.*trunk.*/SUB/ doesn't work. Any insight into the inner workings of -exec/subshells/pipes or some crap I'm missing? Don't worry about rewriting the command to make it work; I simply swapped the paths and got rid of the subshell nonsense and everything works fine.
I have set up the sodoers file to allow everyone in "group1" full sudo permissions without needing to enter their password.
Is there any way to allow users to perform everything except the shutdown command?
I have a DBA that needs to be able to do a "setgroups" on Linux. He had the functionality on AIX but now we're migrating to red hat. In-case you don't know the setgroups command in AIX; it allows users to drop groups that they belong to for that login session. He wants to be able to do this so that he can drops groups for testing. Does anyone know of any equivalent commands to setgroups or another way of dropping groups for that session and not permanently?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Running the command: file run.sh Gives me: run.sh: Bourne shell script text executable in Linux. Is there an equivalent command in Windows?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe often require to find an equivalent text command for any GUI operation. Just as an example we click on a folder (say ABC) from the current directory in order to see the contents of that directory. The equivalent command for it to happen would be->
Code:
cd ABC ls Now the thing is that we often don't know what that equivalent command will be. So I want to know that is there any way out to find it. What I want to do is that I shall perform any operation using mouse in the GUI mode(whatever operation it could be) and then I can see a log file to see what I actually did last(rather what the command would have been if I have worked in the text mode)...

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.
