You need not feel sorry for publishing those scripts. I'm sure it will be useful to some one and you should be proud that you have shared your acquired knowledge. I would suggest that you publish those scripts in a public location with amble documentation.

Making a comment like what you did above is really silly and you might look better if you didnt make them I dont think thats a silly comment. I said, what I felt right and I am still feeling its right. We dont have to reinvent wheel, thats what I said, If you are writing some thing new, thats useful, good.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Simple Scripts in python
I have found it easier to write python scripts instead of bash scripts. IMO when you are on a fullblown desktop OS which has python then there is no need to stick to bash for your scripting needs. @Aneesh : you could checkout the service menus in KDE as well GNOME and maybe write something useful. ( http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html is a good description of a service menu ) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ "Freedom is the only law".

BASH is also one of the many "language just to execute OS commands" or to be more specific, its a shell (like python interactive shell) which loads executables and passes arguments to them (like Python subprocess module).

[fsug-tvm] Re: Simple Scripts in python
Yes I am ignoring this because its of no use to me, and I believe most users here. Bring in some thing really useful. Initiallay I thought of deleting this chain, but then some one pointed out why this tool. Then I realised there are people who feel what I felt. There is already rename command available which can be used for bulk renaming. Unix has lot of tools which do a lot of things. Just search and you will find the tools. You should embark on a mission to write a tool only if you dont find one, other wise you will be reinventing the wheel over and again.

I have published it not to make it closed. some other may benefit from it. If you don't want, just ignore. thanks for "at" command. 2) for bulk renaming can be achived thru some simple shell scripting.

1)executing a comand after some time use "at" command or even cron. 2) for bulk renaming can be achived thru some simple shell scripting.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Simple Scripts in python
I wrote these scripts simply for my personal use. Shutdown.py I like to hear songs in night, just before sleep. and I mostly forget to turn off the system. This script solves that. I have modified that. I will put that tomorrow. rename.py I want to make a rename program like in XP, which has bulk renaming facility. But that script has some bugs... It deleted some files ... So b cautios when executing it. Also, I am just learning python. I like to write more scripts, If you provide me necessary ideas. >From shino jacob: I was having tough time simulating toggle "Show/Hide desktop " using +D, in ubuntu(which I did eventually using some shell scripting).We can develop similar tools which enable usability or tools which help users do things(an extra menu for gnome for showing recent commands used, like in KDE or Windows XP). I can try that. but could anyone tell me how to make it possible..?? -- +91 903 755 72 73 For all hardware and software services, Computer assembling, Software Installation etc. My blog : http://xtenders.blogspot.com/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ "Freedom is the only law".

[fsug-tvm] Re: Simple Scripts in python
Any particular reason for writing a program for this? The shutdown command itself does the job. So why do you want to write a program for that Its good way to start off with python learning, But as Mr. Sasikumar said, we should publish some thing thats really useful. Shutdown command is already available and bulk renaming is possible with simple shell scripting . I was having tough time simulating toggle "Show/Hide desktop " using +D, in ubuntu(which I did eventually using some shell scripting).We can develop similar tools which enable usability or tools which help users do things(an extra menu for gnome for showing recent commands used, like in KDE or Windows XP).
