I just learnt to convert a video file into mp4 format so I can watch it on my PS3. However, I have dozens of video files from my video cam, and want to convert them all. They are all in the same folder. Please can someone explain how I might be able to adapt the code below so I can convert all my files in a batch. Perhaps keeping their same name or giving them some other name, I don't mind.

Basically, I want to create a batch (action, macro or what it may be called) and then set up a cron job which will run every hour. So, it would be something like "If an image is in X folder, then resize, watermark & move it to Y folder".

I recently used the newusers command to generate several user accounts from a text file. That process seemed to go well until I tried to su into one of the new accounts.
This behavior appears for all the accounts that were created from the text file and the newusers command. It seems that several configuration files that should have been autogenerated for these new users were never created. I was able to confirm this was the problem by copying .bashrc and .bash_profile from a user that was created with the "useradd" command into the /home/newaccount directory. After logging off and logging into the newaccount again, the issue is corrected.For the record, I just read this forum post and I'm looking for an alternative to this. If this is the most efficient way to accomplish my goal, then I'll try the route mentioned in the thread. I'm still open to alternatives.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIdealy I want to create a batch file which would read the list and create a user and a password.
I know i need to create the file using the vi command and using the useradd facility to add the users however where i go from there i am lost.
In order to make this conversion I have to use a text editor. This is tedious. Is there an easier way to do it, like some program I can run from the Linux or OSX terminal?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to, all in the course of one batch file:
ssh into a remote computer execute commands (per the batch file) on the remote host.
What options do I need to add to the ssh invocation so that the batch file executes the lines following the ssh invocation over the connection?
e.g., with sftp it's simply adding a -b /dev/stdin and then << EOF at the end; how do I do this with SSH?
I've created a .bat file with this line: start C:USERSPuttyputty.exe -ssh user@server.com -pw password
That opens a putty session and logged in it with the user and password i've already specified. But now, I want to enter a simple command like "ls -l" for example.. How can I do that?
I've also tried plink...The line in that case is this one:
start C:USERSPuttyplink.exe -v -ssh user@server.com -pw password -m UNIX_commands.txt
and in that file "UNIX_commands.txt" I've added the following lines:
cd /projects/test
ls -l
all works fine (the commands are executed) but i can't see the putty session... all i can see is the verbose in my DOS windows of the last line "ls -l"...
The putty session vanishes away. How can I have the session opened and list the mentioned directory.
I understand SOME of how to use screen; attaching and detaching screens, etc.
for example:
screen -d -m links cnn.com
Then I can type
screen -ls
or
screen -r
and re-attach to that session.
But what launching a batch file? Said batch file contains 2 commands; a CD command, and a command to launch Python to run a certain Python script.
Whenever I use the batch file as the command for Screen, it always exits and terminates the screen session -- there are always "0 sockets". Even though the Python script in question is very persistent, and runs indefinitely.
In the kde realm, with the dolphin file browser, I can open a terminal in whatever folder is in the gui by using the shift and f4 keys. I'd like to be able to accomplish the same in gnome with the nautilus file browser but can't figure out how to do same. So far I have to open a terminal and then cd to the desired folder. Or do I have to use some other file browser and which one?
