General :: Make Shell Script Wait For A Particular Key Pressed In Order To Proceed?
Jan 30, 2010i've been searching all over the internet for a way to let the user press a particular key let's say 'y' without the user having to press [Enter] as confirmationfor yes, this would then run another function.

Press 'y' to make a copy of this result into a file or 'n' to return to the main menu.. I understand the "press any key to continue" would go something like

Apr 6, 2010As the title implies, I have fluxbox and conky running in Karmic. The problem is getting conky to start at startup. Below is my ~/.fluxbox/startup file. I have searched and tried everything I have found to get it to work. Conky works beautifully when I run it manually. Anyway, here is my startup file:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xmodmap "/home/doug/.Xmodmap"
unclutter -idle 2 &
conky &
exec fluxbox -log "/home/doug/.fluxbox/log"
Lines added before and after the conky line run perfectly. Unclutter runs, but no conky.

May 23, 2010When I run large rsync sessions (backup purposes), I often find that the cpu goes up to 100% on both cores, and the systems gets almost unusable as slow it is. Top reveals around 80% is reported as "wa", which is IO Wait right?
Well, using the CPUfreq applet, it is possible (but irritatingly sloow) to manually set the cpu frequency to the highest possible. After this the computer gets much more snappy. How can this be done without manual intervention, anyone knows?

Ubuntu :: Login Manager Causes Conky To Not Start With Fluxbox
Jan 23, 2010I recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and I have noticed an increase in loading time when logging in.What use to take less then 1 sec is now taking 3-4. It sometimes is able to start conky but most of the time it doesn't. When I manual run it after login in it has no problems starting.When I start a session with 9.04 I noticed it would go straight to fluxbox it would then take a few seconds to load conky and pidgin. When starting a session with 9.10 the loading seems to happen before the login manager passes control to fluxbox. When the login manager is finished pidgin is signed and ready, there is no more loading to be done.
Would removing the login manager and starting a session from the terminal be advisable? I only use fluxbox.
