Here's a quick tutorial on how to get Legal Case Management practice management system running on puppy linux (Puppy Precise.) I've had a requirement for open source professional practice software for a while, but current options generally require ridiculously complex setup stuff. This system is no ...

Mike,

I want "$dir" to be the "2013" folder in the respective Clientname directory. I'm assuming this is where I'm making my error?

Thanks -Hansol

Hi guys, Been doing some googling on how to bulk move files. So far stuff on "recursive" moving, but that doesn't seem to be helping. So here's my situation. I have the following directory setup: /mnt/folder/ -Clientname1 ->2012 ->2013 -> clietnname1file.ext -Clientname2 ->2012 ->2013 -> c...

Les, The breakdown of what I'm using is as follows. I'll try and be as comprehensive as possible, but I might forget some things: * O/S: Puppy Linux 5.7.1 Precise, because it plays nice with the Hamachi VPN software. (I'm too much of a rookie to figure out openVPN.) With the new Slacko 5.7 out, it m...

Flash, Musher has it right: small accounting firm with multiple workstations and take-home laptops for staff. Between Windows licenses, accounting software licenses, finance and portfolio tracking software + licenses, tax software licenses, tax reference library software + annual renewals, plus both...

Musher... saved me hours of googling Or minutes of sort --help Possibly, if I understood "geek-speak" as I call it (a term of endearment in my world.) I'm completely new to the Linux world, so a lot of the --help documents may as well be written in hyroglyphics as I will be the first to a...

Musher,

Thanks very much! That certainly got it sorted out. I'm staring at your code trying to figure out "why" it works, and can't quite grasp it, but all I care about is that it does indeed work!

You saved me hours of googling, so thanks again.

Hi guys, I'm going nuts fighting with the "sort" command. I can get it to work for a single sort, but having it do a double one seems to be giving me trouble. I have the following data: 101 A 101 B 101 C 102 A 102 B 102 C 103 A 103 B 103 C And I want to sort the data alphabetically, and th...

Mike, I actually did attempt to use dosemu, and (ironically) it played nice with the regular idle-detect. The trouble was it wouldn't play nice with the legacy software: it would run it, but the software could not correctly access the data folders. In fact it wouldn't even register the directories a...

Hi guys, This isn't a puppy-specific question, but everyone here at the forum is just so damn helpful I thought why not throw this out there. Specifically, what I need is a script that measures the time between keyboard activity, and after 3 minutes of no keys being pushed, kicks out a message sayin...

Hi guys, Okay stupid mistake. I was trying to make a .pup file run, and it told me i needed an "old" version of petget (didn't realize this at the time.) So I dowloaded the appropriate file (one that is able to open .pup files, so basically ancient) installed it, and now my Puppy Package M...

Hi guys, So I'm trying to write a script that basically creates a pop-up asking the user "What are you working on?" in order to accurately log time on jobs correctly. I've tried to write it in two parts: (1) uses xmessage to create the popup (2) uses cron to schedule the timing of the pop-...

Hi guys, I need some help PERMANENTLY deleting the ALT+F1 hotkey function. Currently it brings up the "start menu" and I need it to desperately not do that. I've gone the the /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal file and eliminated the ALT+F1 function from there. Then hard rebooted and hoped that sol...

npierce,

Thank you sir. Your bit about inserting the "shell" file fixed everything and FTP sharing with different users works just like it is supposed to. Thanks again -Hansol

Hi guys, Just wanted run this by the forum and see if I can't get some help: I'm using a combination of PcurlFTP and gFTP running in Precise Puppy to create/access shared folders on a network. The setup works fine as long as you log in as Root. When you try to log in as a different user, eg username...

Ok one last noob query for the "encrypting" code, and then I will stop harassing you gentlemen on the forum here: I've got all the code written, but the problem is the scripts are separate: I have one script written for tar-ing the files, and a second script written for bcrypting the files...

Hi guys, I'm trying to get Hamachi to run on Slacko. I tried the sym link from research I read on getting google-earth to run, and it didn't work. I looked into the hamachi install script, and basically it first checks to see if a usr/lib/install_init (i think that's the path) directory exists: if i...

Hi guys, I'm a total noob with this stuff, so I apologize in advance for this most-likely silly question: I'm running Slacko 5.6, and am trying to get a certain program to run. When I start the installation through terminal, I get the line "blah blah needs lsb package." When I look into wh...

Trapster, Thank you so much! I never would have figured out that code sequence on my own, so I very much appreciate your help. Basically the reason I'm not too worried about "exposing" the password is the files are all to be encrypted on a secure machine first, and then transferred to a to...
