Application: Linux System Script


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys and Girls

I have been writing a little system script and have finally got to a point where i want to release it to you all

Uploaded it to my own site so i can see how many downloads it gets

Thanks

please feel free to download it and let others know about it

First off, I really like the script! You have done a really great job with it.

I have a suggestion, though. If you plan on continuing development, you might consider putting it on github. That will allow other contributors to more easily get involved and both developers and users to see a concrete changelog. A more succinct changelog and readme might also be helpful. If you want a template for a much more complex BASH script that is already on github and implements both a changelog and readme, check out the github page for Minecraft Server Manager. (Although MSM's changelog and readme are in markdown format, you don't necessarily have to do that. In fact, most open-source projects implement their documentation in plain text. Download the apt-build source code, for example, and take a look at debian/changelog and debian/README.Debian to see an example of more standard formatting.)

Great job Haggis! This is great! One thing tho: How could I make a text based logo? I'd really like the Kubuntu logo, like this:

http://cloudfront.om...ogo-kubuntu.png or http://www.google.co...:0,i:100&surl=1

rather than the vanilla Ubuntu logo. :) Thanks!

I used jp2a to create the ascii-art logos. You can create one from the first logo you linked to as follows:


sudo apt-get install jp2a
wget http://cloudfront.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/logo-kubuntu.png
convert logo-kubuntu.png logo-kubuntu.jpg
# Resize your terminal window to reflect the approximate of the ascii-art drawing you want to create.
jp2a logo-kubuntu.jpg > logo-kubuntu.txt
cat logo-kubuntu.txt # This command is optional if you don't need to see the image in terminal.
[/CODE]

Cool thanks

yeah i plan on continuing development so will look at github :)

If you haven't ever used git before, I suggest that you take a look at github's Introduction to Git tutorial. It is very good, in my opinion, and explains everything you will need to know to start using git.

Edit: What happened? I thought the post editor merged successive posts by the same user if they were made relatively quickly. I can still edit both posts, but even if I merge them I will still have a useless post immediately below the merged one since I can't delete posts!

ok i updated it a little as it was not always picking up Debian and not always Mate and Unity

Unity:

Fedora and Openbox

Mint and Mate

I'm no Linux pro, but when I type sh stats.sh, I get this:


stats.sh: 59: stats.sh: function: not found
[/CODE]

I put the bash file in my home directory.

Edit: Ok, now I'm getting this:

I will have a look

did you edit the file because the screenshot bit is not enabled in the file i uploaded and i redownloaded it and checked and still not enabled

I have installed Cinnamon and dont get any errors

anyone else getting this?

Just for giggles tossed the script onto one of my servers. (Don't laugh at the specs, it's an old first gen Proliant rackmount ML370.. dual P3's and 1GB memory, whee.. I hate throwing stuff away.) This particular one is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, no X or a DE. Just passing on a couple of errors to you Haggis.

Not 100% positive.. I'm very rusty on EISA systems, only ever owned one or two in my lifetime (hate the things, they're a pain in the butt).. reasonably sure it shows 1024MB on POST, can't say for sure as it's not had a monitor attached in months, and not in the mood to wrestle that 5000 pound steel gorilla out of its rack to check. Most likely it's video memory (video's on the motherboard), could always be something to do with EISA too, not positive. But 1001 is what's being reported by the OS. Had Server 2003 before that.. I think it reported similar.

Not mine, random shot I found via Bing, but same model. Sucker weighs a ton and you need earplugs when the cooling system is running full blast. First few minutes are deafening until the cooling system drivers kick in and turn it down a few hundred decibels... I inherited 5 of the things from a friend of mine, and I hate throwing hardware away.

cpq-ml370-da4200-572-mit-blitz_2_.jpg

That thing like from the late 90's?

Not that old but a dinosaur as far as computers go, erm around 2002 I think is when these were considered new. Only reason I kept them is for the hardware RAID arrays (way too big to fit in a standard chassis and generates a crapton of heat without some major cooling), otherwise I'd have scrapped them.

Thanks for the error guys i will look into those

obviously not picking up debian correctly again

the xdpy one is nice and easy to fix its throwing then due to you not running X server :)

the mate session again just need some error checking on it lol

Finally works...

Running Ubuntu 12.10, though, unsure why its saying Debian.

Edit: Max, how'd you get 1001 Mb RAM? :huh:

can you do me a favour

do these two commands


ls /etc/ | grep release
[/CODE]

and

[CODE]
ls /etc/ | grep version
[/CODE]

and paste me the output?

and paste me the output?

Tossing mine in there even though you're asking the other guy, mine was showing Debian too (along with two logos) so /shrug there it is, maybe it helps.

root@server7:~# ls /etc/ | grep release
-rw-r--r--   1 root root     106 Aug  2 12:20 lsb-release
-rw-r--r--   1 root root     141 Oct 23 18:04 os-release

root@server7:~# ls /etc/ | grep version
-rw-r--r--   1 root root      11 Apr 19  2012 debian_version

That's Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.


david@david-ubuntu:~$ ls /etc/ | grep release
lsb-release
os-release
david@david-ubuntu:~$ ls /etc/ | grep version
debian_version
[/CODE]

That doesn't look right...

    • We need a game update frequency setting. * Right now your recent games will be auto updated overnight, and your unrecent games won't be updated. The bifurcation of recent and unrecent is fine, but we should be able to control the update frequency for both, with any of the following options: 1. Don't auto update 2. Auto update weekly 3. Auto update overnight 3. Auto update immediately (push) i.e. When I'm playing a lot, I want my recently played games to have push updates, so if a dev releases an update at 4pm, it's already downloaded on my Xbox by the time I get home. The current overnight cadence leaves a lot of wasted time waiting for updates on slow connections. My infrequently played games in ok with deferring to overnight, or maybe weekly, but let the users control their frequency. Basing it on data and last played sounds smart but ignores the human reality that often when I'm busiest and have the least time for games is when it sucks the most to come home and find a huge update list waiting for you.
    • Genocide is intent to exterminate and both the Israeli government AND its people openly declare, even boast about their intent to exterminate Arabs. This society of sick psychopaths has even made songs about it. Zionist means believing Israel should exist as an religious ethno-state where only Jews have rights and everyone else is second class citizen. As for the blood libel thing, we already know zionists get off on killing children. We also know Israel is a safe heaven for all the pedophiles and rapists of the world. Honestly, after what we saw in the Epstein files, I wouldn't put anything past this depraved death cult. Of course all atrocities committed by tHe wOrLds mOsT mOrAl aRmY are always "unproven or taken out of context". Unfortunately for them, their soldiers are dumb enough to leave a trail of their war crimes all over social media. Then again, when you live in a society that's obsessed with death and destruction, posting videos of yourself in the act of ransacking homes and desecrating religious monuments earns you brownie points I guess. Israel is the only society in the world where people come out on the roads for the right to **** prisoners. Also claiming that the BBC said this and AP said that without so much as a link has gotten me curious. Are all zionists this dumb? I really hope you aren't getting paid for this because this is some low effort propaganda.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac by Taras Buria Microsoft has announced a major update for the OneDrive client on macOS. Today, the company released version 26.098, promising significantly faster sync, optimized CPU usage, a smaller memory footprint, and better energy efficiency. In a newly published blog post, Microsoft acknowledged that changes implemented in OneDrive for Mac in 2022 brought some unwanted side effects. Due to architectural changes and the need to keep the OneDrive sync engine unchanged, Microsoft created a hidden cache folder. With time, it would cause reliability and performance issues for customers. Now, Microsoft is ditching the old engine for native sync, delivering a faster, more reliable experience. As a result of this change, OneDrive for Mac now integrates more deeply into the operating system, offers about two times faster sync performance, and uses fewer system resources. While the hidden folder still exists, the app only uses it to store files that have not been uploaded yet, link file types, and macOS-related packages. In total, even when holding hundreds of files, the temporary folder does not take more than a couple of megabytes on the drive. Besides optimizations, the new sync engine enables external drive support, allowing you to keep your OneDrive folder on a removable drive (it should meet all the requirements). Microsoft is now rolling out the updated OneDrive client for Microsoft 365 Insiders. To check if your Mac has the new sync engine, go to the About tab and check the app version. If it ends with something like 26H, you are on the new engine. If not, you are on the old one. Microsoft says it will take a few weeks to complete the rollout to Insiders, but it won't say when to expect the update in the stable channel. Big performance updates for OneDrive on Mac came right after Microsoft confirmed it would soon kill document editing in Office 2019 for Mac due to expiring certificates. This change will force users to look for alternatives or switch to Microsoft 365.
