Application: Linux System Script

[Haggis Veteran]

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

Download Here: http://www.haggistech.co.uk/downloads/download.php?file=stats-V1.0.tar.gz

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.)

Cool thanks

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

I tried this earlier Haggis under Fedora 18 Beta with Razor-QT as DE and for some reason I couldn't get it to work. Will try it again in a few when I reboot.

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

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!

45 Downloads so far :)

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

Updated: same link as previously

changelog included

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:

[Haggis Veteran]

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?

[Mike]

Try running it with bash not sh

[Haggis Veteran]

yeah to run it cd into the Directory its in and do ./stats.sh

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

I tried the above, and I get a blinking cursor. And no, I didn't edit it.

[Max Norris]

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.

./stats.sh: line 240: xdpyinfo: command not found

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.

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

That thing like from the late 90's?

[Max Norris]

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.

[Haggis Veteran]

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?

[Max Norris]

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.

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

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...

[Haggis Veteran]

ok can you both do

lsb_release -a
[/CODE]

for some reason Ubuntu carried over the /etc/debian_version file

so i will need to find another way to do this lol
