linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hello,i'm trying to built a simple backup script which launches rsync and zenity:#/bin/bash rsync -auvh --progress --delete / /mnt/BACKUP | zenity --progress --auto-killWhat i want to archive is that if i press the "cancel" button of the zenity progress bar, the rsync process should be killed. What happens instead is that my bash is killed.Is there any nice way of how i can kill the rsync process when i press the "cancel" button?Thanks in advance,Robert RobertBuhren https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=52011 2012-08-26T22:59:05Z (HowTos)

(GNOME2, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) I've made a nautilus script, so that if I have a directory full of various codecs, then I just need to right click in that folder -> Scripts -> THISSCRIPT.txt, then presto, it recursively converts all the video files (identified by video mimetype) to x.264 codec with 128 Kbit mp3 to avi. So that they will have small size+good quality.

`man awk` should tell you everything you need to know.Well, everything except for the actual zenity invocation.  But `man zenity` will tell you that.

zenity problem after update 23 weeks 4 days ago

hi,

after upgrading zenity on Fedora 17 x86_64 from zenity-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64 to zenity-3.4.0-2.fc17.x86_64, the list function works any longer.

with zenity-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64 everything work ok.

a example command that works with zenity-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64

Code: echo "+ 1, Unknown (AC3) (2.0 ch) (iso639-2: und), 48000Hz, 384000bps" | grep '^+ ' | sed -e "s/+ /\

I wanted to play a prank on my sister it didn't work and I thought I'd just ask why not.

On my local machine I type Code: find / | zenity --progress --pulsate --text "Erasing hard drive - please wait" it works, and I get a pulsating dialogue box, the hard drive is using "Find" and so it's going wild, as if it's being erased...

Hi all,

I'm trying to back up a remote server with RSync script:

Hi,

Problem: rsync permissions on NAS to desktop USB HD.

Background: I use NAS4Free via NFS.
