bad install in wary quickset 503

#82 Post by don570 »

There was a bad install of pschedule in wary quickset 503.

I've warned shinobar
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 377#502377

To prevent this from happening again, it might be helpful to
change the .desktop file

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Pschedule task on time
Icon=mini-clock.xpm
Comment=Pschedule task on time
Exec=/usr/local/pschedule/pschedule
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=X-SystemSchedule
GenericName=Pschedule task on time
I would suggest changing the line
Exec=/usr/local/pschedule/pschedule

to

Code: Select all

Exec=/usr/local/bin/pschedule

That will force users to install properly or it won't work at all.

pschedule 101

#85 Post by don570 »

Using lucid puppy 5.2.......


I couldn't get pschedule 1.0.1 to show in French
so I had to stick with pschedule 1.0

_______________________________

Also I recommend that you change the name of
'fr_ca:french' to 'fr:french'

This will make the application show in French
without the need to create a link.

Thanks for this, one small problem, if I can call it that, the link buttons in the about box didn't work for me.
I added BROWSER="defaultbrowser" to the top of the pschedule script and that fixed it.

APPDIR >> PROGPATH

#89 Post by rodin.s »

Localization does not work. In /usr/local/pschedule/pschedule $APPDIR should be replaced with $PROGPATH.

Thank you. Don570 complained about this ages ago, and I have simply forgotten. Sorry.

Puppy Backup

#94 Post by don570 »

I wrote about using Pschedule with Puppy Backup
HERE

This method will allow the user to back up his favorite folders overnite
on a regular basis.

It's quite simple and it just needs enough hard disk space
for the mirroring to be done completely and keep your
computer on overnite.

An external USB hard drive would be good for this purpose
and they're quite cheap now.

Mirroring of an entire partition to a folder is possible.

Make sure that the mirror folder is initially empty.

Is it possible to filter out crond lines that begin with #
i.e. are obvious comments.

I'm trying to use pschedule with Porteus distribution
and it works surprising well except for all the comments.

I tried the following line to filter them out in
line 13 of func_cron_to_human

Code: Select all

	cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/$USER | sed "/^#/d" | sed -e "s/ /{ð®SSSđþ}/g" | sed -e "s/*/{ð®STARđþ}/g" > /tmp/pschedule-forloop
However I found that Delete key wouldn't work which is
important to me.

Dear Don
I am sorry to say that I don't have the capacity to support other distros. If someone provide a patch, I will of course consider to add it.

It still runs fine in Porteus without any changes.
But only as the root user.

I'm using it with puppy clock.

I was able to fix the problem (in the Porteus distribution)
of comments showing in the list of jobs
with a simple addition of few lines of code
near start of 'pschedule' script so that the cleaning is performed
always at open ( actually the cleaning is only required once
but I didn't want to write complicated code)

The guest user doesn't have this problem fortunately. :)

Code: Select all

# remove comment lines
killall -q crond
cat  /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root | sed "/^#/d" > /tmp/pschedule_temp
mv -f /tmp/pschedule_temp /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
crond
