Is there a way to start a program via ssh?I have a SSH app on my android phone and would like to start VLC from my phone. Neither the command "VLC", "nohup VLC" or "VLC &" seem to do the trick.
View 4 RepliesI just installed TuxGuitar - very cool - and to get the sound to work I had to install Timidity++ as well. Before I start TuxGuitar I have to execute:timidity -iA -Osin a terminal window first, which is kind of a pain to do every time I run TuxGuitar.How do I get this line to execute on startup such that timidity is running when I start up? I tried adding that line to rc.local

View 9 Replies View RelatedIt's a long story, but on my tri-boot (Ubuntu 8.04, Win 7, Win XP), both Win 7 and Win XP need to know that Linux has previously run. I've therefore written a little program in REALbasic that automatically creates a text file named linuxran.txt and puts it into the root folder of the partition where Windows XP is installed. Under Ubuntu, this location is known as "/media/Win XP". It's an 80 gig partition of a 1 TB drive, the same disk that Win 7 is installed on. In my partition app under Win 7, I labeled the partition "Win XP."
The good news: When Ubuntu is completely up and running, the program runs fine. It checks if the file already exists, and if it does not, it creates it. So in Ubuntu, under System ==> Preferences ==> Sessions ==> Startup Programs, I put my little program, figuring it would run just fine. The bad news: Unfortunately, it didn't. It's trying to start before Ubuntu has mounted the "/media/Win XP" drive/partition.
Possible solutions: 1. If I could somehow set my program to run after I know the other drive has loaded, I would be all right. I know the prog is fine once the drive is loaded, because it does what it's supposed to when I run it. Is there some way to put my app in the startup process after Ubuntu has mounted all the drives? 2. Put some code in my app to make Ubuntu mount that drive before the rest of the prog runs. Not sure if this one is practical. 3. Set the program to run, not when Ubuntu first starts up, but rather, right before it shuts down.
I like option #3 the best because it would require no re-coding. Ubuntu would have had plenty of time to mount all the drives. Is there some way to tell Ubuntu, "whenever you're told to shut down, always run this little program first?"
When clicking on a program to start from the drop down menu (latest example being Quadrapassel) the program starts but then the tab at the bottom of the screen disappears and the program doesn't load.

Not the password I use for administrative tasks; which is what I am generally asked for.Anyone else seeing this? And if so, what happened. The admin account I have setup is My account, I am the only person on the machine. In the past I have entered my password and carried on; not this morning. Not sure what is happening; but I have not setup an actual admin account / password.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was thinking to do my music producing completely on linux and found a plethora of good tools for it. The thing is I have two monitors and instead of launching manually every little app each time I feel creative, I want to make a script that launches all my favorite apps.
So long I have written this little bash script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#Start my audio programs for music production
(qjackctl --start)&
(hydrogen --nosplash)&
sleep 1
ardour2
So what it does is that it starts the jack server, then hydrogen and lastly ardour2. The thing is that I want hydrogen to start in the second monitor but don't know how. I have devilspie but I didn't have any luck on finding some command to choose display. I am aware of the --display flag that some programs have like firefox but hydrogen doesn't have it. Btw I use a different X server on each screen. is there a universal way to launch ANY kind of program on a specific display?

I'm trying to make an old Dell Latitude D505 running OpenSuse 11.3 LXDE download torrents at night between 2 and 6 AM (when I have free bandwidth), but I'm failing at a couple very basic things. The solution is probably very simple, but I can't find it.First: How can I schedule Transmission to start every day at 2AM? I tried with Crontab (using VCron), but I think I'm using the wrong command. When I type "transmission" in a terminal it launches transmission, but when I make a crontab entry with "transmission", nothing happens. Do I need to type the full path to the transmission executable? If so, how can I find that? Or is the problem more likely to have something to do with permissions?Second: Is it possible to schedule hibernation? If so, what command should I use?
