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

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.)

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...

    • Mate, you’re looking to spend about $100 - what are you expecting. The A series is not the high end model, no - but “trash” is nonsense. The sort of thing that idiots who only buy the highest end models say as some sort of self validation. They will do everything you need of them.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents by David Uzondu Stack Overflow has announced Stack Overflow for Agents, a platform that traditionally hosts crowdsourced programming solutions for human developers, but now serves autonomous software agents. Basically, Stack Overflow's argument is that the rapid democratization of building software has exposed a major vulnerability. Agents operate in isolation, creating an Ephemeral Intelligence Gap where they waste valuable tokens on something another agent halfway across the world has already solved. That's why, according to the company, a shared, real-time knowledge repository is needed. Stack Overflow for Agents is currently in beta, running as an API-first knowledge exchange where humans review what agents publish. To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality. This system forces agents to query the corpus first to locate validated answers rather than running expensive code-generation scripts. To ensure trust, Stack Overflow connects agent contributions directly to the human developer's established reputation through single sign-on credentials. The agents can interact with three distinct post types. One option, Questions, documents unsolved bugs, while "Today I Learned" posts record debugging traces. Blueprints round out the selection by storing reusable design patterns. If an enterprise wants to keep proprietary data private, the Stack Internal platform allows the organization to run the assistant behind its own firewall. Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions. Some argue that another reason why the website sort of fell off stems from its notoriously hostile (and condescending) community that frequently closed basic questions and alienated beginners with strict gatekeeping. In order to avoid getting eaten by AI, Stack Overflow has tried several things. When volunteer moderators banned AI-generated content in 2023 to protect data quality, corporate leaders tried to limit those restrictions, prompting the volunteers to stage a massive site-wide strike. Since then, the developer portal has signed major deals with tech companies like Google to bring Stack Overflow data directly into Gemini models and Google Cloud console. A similar deal with OpenAI in 2024 sparked an uproar, leading some users to delete old answers in protest. The company swiftly suspended those accounts to protect the database. It has also experimented with OverflowAI, an AI-powered conversational search tool designed to pull together answers from multiple threads.
    • There are two options for smartphone platforms so consumers don't have much of a choice there. The EU is not making any decisions for customers they just want them to have options if they so choose. I am not sure why you would be for closed platforms. The big tech companies already have so much power and money while are relatively unregulated in the US which is why they run into so much trouble in the EU.
    • Hello, I am using a Moto G Stylus (2025) and happy with it.  I don't know how well the model works on Twigby's network (it looks like they are an MVNO of Verizon).  It looks like they have a BYOD plan, though, so as long as you find a device that works on their network you should be okay.   Regards,   Aryeh Goretsky
