I am just looking for a simple program, nothing overly complex with crazy features. Just something that pops up above any browser/window and remains that way until you click it or something. The pop up would occur periodically or at sometime each day. It would say something like "TAKE A BREAK FROM COMPUTER" lol and other things. not suppose to be some full reminder program like a calendar.

First off, I'm completely new to bash scripting so forgive me if I make any egregious errors. I'm trying to make pop-up reminders for the simple calendar program when. This is what I have so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# set the time format for when
#current="$(date +%I:%M %p)"
current="$(date +%-l%p)"
today=~/.when/today
[Code]....
When I run the script, gxmessage pops up and displays the correct information, but it does so for each line in "~/.when/today" that contains a time that matches the current system time (which would be three pop-ups at 10PM, according to the example). I want it to display the information only once. How can this be accomplished? Is a while loop even the right job for this?

I would only be sending messages through a single Gmail account, and would rather not bother with all of the sendmail configuration.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIs there a simple web-based solution for a group looking to securely share files online? The software needs to run on our own servers due to regulatory laws. I want users to be able to go to a web site, request an account (which I should be able to accept or reject), and upload/download/manage files in a web-based (preferably ajax-y) file manager. File access controls (via users/groups) is desirable.Yes, I know that SSH/SFTP is the 'proper' solution, but many of the users will be office workers and installing an SFTP client and configuring it is too advanced for them. Same goes for Samba+VPN setups...

I need a simple program that I can talk into a microphone and the sound will come out the speakers. I want to use my Computer that's hooked up to the store speakers as a PA System.
I am having a difficult time finding a program that will let me do this without having to record and playback. Any help would be wonderful.
I've got a bunch of hand-written notes which I would like to put into Kabikaboo (great app by the way) - but it is a real pain reading stuff then typing it up. I'd like a speech-to-text app, so I can just read my notes out loud and the computer will turn them into text files.Looking through Synaptic, all I can find is Julius; and that does not seem to be an easy-to-use app at all. So many parameters to set, an impenetratable (to me) manpage; and although I am a CLI user quite often, some kind of GUI would be nice.

The packets come in varying sizes, but are composed of well-defined fields and values.

I hunted and experimented with KDE Task Scheduler (no dice and no help anywhere) and cron (confusing instructions and cannot edit crontab -e with vim, and cannot enter cron folders/files). I would settle for a desktop shortcut to run the script but found no for that.
Script:

xterm -hold -e fstrim -v /

OS: openSUSE 11.4 x86_64

Stupid browser froze up when I tried to submit this before... *sigh* Anyway, is there a simple midi editor that that isn't Rosegarden and doesn't require JACK? Something would simply let me load a Soundfont, and then edit and export a multi-track midi file without a bunch of other stuff you have to do?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to come up with a script that restarts every month, and sends out a reminder 5 days before the end of the month to all customers on the list with rentals. After 10 days, if their name hasn't be deselected, it will send out a last notice email to remind them of their contract and yada yada. I'm not sure if a web-based script (php) would be better, or a "regular" language like python or something.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having troubles getting used to the new Ubuntu UI - Unity. One thing that bugs me is that I don't know how to find a program if I don't know the program's name. For example I remember I have an IRC client but I don't remember its name and its name does not contain IRC. Before I had Unity, programs were organised in categories, so to find the irc I just looked in the Internet category. The same happened to me with the writer program and others..Can anyone tell me how I can find a program by its category? I was surprised that I could not many complaints like mine on the web. I don't want to give up and go back to the old gnome cause I figure that there is just a learning curve to pass and beside there are some feature in it that I like.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a program in the repositories for physics? I don't mean a program that makes graphs etc. I just want a program such as the one I'm attaching but much more effective and that does more than just a spring on an inclined plane. I want torque, rotational motion, kinematics, pulleys and a system with two objects instead of one only etc in the program. If it doesn't exist, I'll make it myself but I will have the knowledge in probably close to a year from now so I unfortunately cannot do it yet.
Basically (like what I attached - except that it's not so great) is something that I can visually test my homework with. If there are programs for other aspects of physics that do the same thing such as for waves or optics etc, I'd like to have those too but my priority is mechanics right now.
whenever i plug in my xbox i can't hear it but i can see it so i have to change to windows i have no problem with that. But my question is Is there any "APP" or program that lets you change OS with one click instead of restarting the computer? I know the xbox sound problem does not belongs here its just that i wanted to throw/point this out here in case anyone knows what may cause this, and the reason why i want that "1 click change OS"

The aim would be to keep notes from literature, concepts and ideas which i come across during my studies. It's always a hassle to retrieve this information when i have to write a paper for instance.
