I am a frequent participant on the Ubuntu Forums, and I have noticed a few questions (and their variations) being asked over and over again. So I created this page to archive and categorize these questions and their answers, so that whenever I see one of these questions being asked, I can simply point to this page (and I encourage other forums participants to do the same - as well as to help flesh out this FAQ).

Invoke the script as non-interactive and add a pair of escaped quotes around each string just like you do in (script-fu-register). You DO NOT need to replace '-' with '_' in any names or registrations.

Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system containing the very best free and open source software applications you need to work and play. With Ubuntu you can surf the web, read email, create documents, presentations and spreadsheets, edit images and more.

There sure is! Right click on the tray icon and select properties. In the menu that opens, select the General Tab. Uncheck the box that says "Launch Main Window on Startup" and the Agent will start up minimized from now on.

Put them into ~/.irssi/startup file, each command on its own line. The preceding slash (/) is not necessary.

No. In this release of Analytic Services it is not possible to execute an action other than send the information in an e-mail or spool it to a file. However, it is possible to create a program that monitors the creation or modifications of the trigger files and then have this program launch other tasks.

Ans : (a) TSLTest.RunTest TestPath, TestSet [, Parameters ] --> Used in QTP 6.0 used for backward compatibility Parameters : The test set within Quality Center, in which test runs are stored. Note that this argument is relevant only when working with a test in a Quality Center project. When the test is not saved in Quality Center, this parameter is ignored.

Any lines you want to execute immediately when the script starts should appear at the top of the script, prior to the first hotkey, hotstring, or Return. For details, see auto-execute section. Also, a hotkey that executes more than one line must list its first line beneath the hotkey, not on the same line. For example: #space:: ; Win+Spacebar Run Notepad WinWaitActive Untitled - Notepad WinMaximize return

With Vida 2.0, a mechanism was introduced whereby Vida-API (Python) commands may be invoked at startup. At present, this file must be named startup.py and must be located as follows: Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username\OpenEye\VIDA2\startup.py Unix/linux: $HOME/.OpenEye/VIDA2/startup.py Note that the example pdbopen.py provided with Vida can be used as a startup script. This adds a menu button to download a PDB file by its ID.

For the Windows version, drag a copy of the desktop shortcut to Start Menu > Programs > Startup. For the Macintosh version, make an alias of the application (using Command-L) and drag it to the /Library/StartupItems folder.

You can get advice and help on using Ubuntu from the Ubuntu community, or buy professional support from Canonical and a range of local companies.

Ubuntu is community developed. You can interact with the Ubuntu community including developers, translators and technical support activists through our mailing lists and IRC channels: There are several mailing lists that you can join. Some of these receive very high traffic so you may prefer to use a web forum.

If you later want to update a CHDK version, just copy the new PS.fir and Diskboot.bin files onto the SD card and overwrite the old ones. You do not have to delete any other file. All settings are forward/backward compatible. After running CHDK and setting all your options for histograms, zebra-mode, OSD layout, fonts, colors, last script loaded, etc. all your settings are saved in the /CHDK/CHDK.CFG file.

Answer: Yes, it can: simply enter the key name as the command line argument. For example, to open the key HKCU\Software you should use the command: "RegWorks HKCU\Software". If you want the key to open in the running instance of RegWorks, use the same command with the additional parameter /s, e.g.: "RegWorks HKCU\Software /s". Answer: In the Tweaker section of the program's settings, deselect the options: "Require confirmation for tweak modification" and "Suggest rebooting computer".

Startup scripts are supported, and scripts that run when certain events happen may be supported in future. If a script is in a position to "infect" a startup script or your application, it's also able to modify your .bashrc or your X startup script. In other words, if you choose to run untrusted code on your machine, it's too late - having it insert its self into a Scribus startup script would be the least of your problems.

Beginning with Version 3.02, this is supported. You can choose this as an option of the new Configuration Window.

Copy the files PS.fir and DISKBOOT.bin into the root folder of your SD card (if you have not already done so). If the camera reports that the SD-card is locked, just ignore that information; the camera is still able to store pictures on the SD-card. Note: Unfortunately, autoload does not work with FAT32-formatted SD-cards. This means: cards up to and including 2 GB will work, cards larger than 2 GB won't. Note2: 4 GB cards can support the autoload feature if they are formated in FAT16 manually.

You can, provided that the other machine is the same type (i.e. architecture and operating system) than the machine on which xsimulator was produced. If the other machine has CADP installed, there is no problem, be sure that the $CADP environment variable is correct. If the other machine does not have CADP installed on it, you have to copy xsimulator and some other files from the the CADP release in order to make xsimulator work.

When zsh starts up, there are four files you can change which it will run under various circumstances: .zshenv, .zprofile, .zshrc and .zlogin. They are usually in your home directory, but the variable $ZDOTDIR may be set to alter that. Here are a few simple hints about how to use them.

On native Unix systems, you should be able to run shell scripts directly. On systems running a Unix-type shell (for example, Cygwin on Windows) execute the (command) shell instead - cmd for batch files, sh for shell scripts - then pass the batch file or shell script (plus any arguments to the script) as a single command, using the /c or -c switch, respectively. See the above section for example <exec> tasks executing sh. For batch files, use something like: <exec dir=".

What you have most likely encountered is the fact that some operating systems will not mount a CD with execute permissions. To successfully run the installation script from the CD on such an operating system, you will need to do the following:

A script file that is executed automatically everytime that Gridgen starts is called an "RC" file and it is just a regular Glyph script. There are several places that Gridgen looks for an RC file. First, it looks to see whether the GRIDGEN_RCFILE environment variable is set (note: this environment variable is deprecated and may not be supported in future releases). If GRIDGEN_RCFILE is not set, Gridgen looks for a file called _gridgenrc (.gridgenrc on Unix) in the starting directory.

Just run the PHP CLI (Command Line Interface) program and provide the PHP script file name as the command line argument. For example, "php myScript.php", assuming "php" is the command to invoke the CLI program. Be aware that if your PHP script was written for the Web CGI interface, it may not execute properly in command line environment. PHP Interpreter treats numbers beginning with 0 as octal. Look at the similar PHP interview questions for more numeric problems.

First of all you have to make sure you really need a script. Scripting is not difficult but if you simply want to auto-op your friends on your IRC channel, or if you want to ban or ignore an annoying person, mIRC is perfectly equipped already with functions that do exactly what you want. In this case read the section about the auto-op, protect and ignore lists.

Name your post-boot script as -e.g.- "zzboot" or something similar which sorts last. If you need to run several scripts, then call them all from within "zzboot". Copy it to /etc/init.d directory, make sure that it is executable, then make it part of boot process so as to run it last while booting up, and first while shutting down: sudo cp zzboot /etc/init.d sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/zzboot sudo update-rc.

Alot of "out of the box" MU*'s do not have the permissions set by default. Just do a chmod +x to make the script executable. Otherwise, the file does not belong to you and tsk tsk for trying to access it. :P
