Anyway, you can write something using inotify to do what you want. If you're feeling lazy and have some idea of what files you want to watch then use inotifywait from inotifytools. Put it in a shell script and enjoy. Here's an example of how inotify works $ touch cow $ inotifywait -m cow Setting up watches. Watches established. cow MOVE_SELF cow ATTRIB cow DELETE_SELF cow IGNORED That happens when I ran the following in another pty: $ mv cow pig $ rm pig You can make it do all sorts of more complicated things if you want to.

[Ilugc] Interfacing microcontroller with a Linux PC
Hi. Some of my friends are doing their project in microcontrollers, and use Fedora on the development system. Data transmission on parallel ports is working, and they need to interface the microcontroller with the PC now. A detailed description is at [1]. I don't have any prior experience interfacing microcontrollers to PCs, so kindly provide pointers to accomplish this task.

Hi Salvaesswaran Srinivasan, Some of my friends are doing their project in microcontrollers, and use Fedora on the development system. Data transmission on parallel ports is working, and they need to interface the microcontroller with the PC now. [1]: http://pastebin.com/f2bf606a I hope you are talking about how to communicate between pc an microcontroller, if you could explain us the project (big picture), we might be in a position to help. Getting the input from computer What do you want the microcontroller to do ? Is there any specific reason that you opted for parallel port over serial. I don't have any prior experience interfacing microcontrollers to PCs,so kindly provide pointers to accomplish this task. Arduino is a open source board ( www.arduino.cc ) is a elegant inexpensive device(Rs 700/-) with which we can do wonders.It is a good start for beginners to hang on with this board. The following is a link where the arduino is connect to several piezo transducers and computer . When you hit on a piezo transducer the signal is taken to the computer and a sound is generated. Something drums sivamani will love it ;). This is just a example, have a look at it at http://www.tinker.it/en/Tutorials/Ardrumo . regards, Thyagarajan Shanmugham ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

If you are sure that the data transmission is working from the Linux desktop using that C code, it means that the Linux based computer is OK to be used as a host or a slave to the micro controller's application. Beyond this, you need to tell us what exactly you want for us to help you?! Is the micro controller also running Linux? Like what Thyagarajan said, normally micro controller apps are designed to use the serial port unless of course you have a specific reason such as high speed communication etc. A word of caution through - Setup the parallel port in the BIOS setup as standard SPP. Otherwise you will have to implement the corresponding protocol in the micro controller hardware and software.

[Ilugc] Laptop hotkeys not working
Hi I am running Ubuntu 9.04 on my Thinkpad R61. I am having a problem making the Laptop hotkeys namely the volume up/down/mute to work. The issue is that the shortkeys are detected by GNOME i.e i see the volume bar changing in the notification system, but the volume in the actual volume control remains unchanged. The keys were working fine before this. I cant seem to figure what caused the transition as well. It could be when i tried making additions to alsa.conf to connect to a bluetooth audio device. I did revert the changes though. Is there any way i can reinstall/restore some configurations to revert to earlier config? -- Thanks Regards Varrun Ramani Amrita University '10 Web: varrunr.wordpress.com ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Hmm, you might have inadvertently enabled the Input Method keyboard shortcuts (or done it intentionally -- in which case, I'm impressed you know Bengali too ! :) ) Anyways, go to System-Preferences-Input Method and either disable the feature completely or click the Input Method Preferences button and under Keyboard Shortcuts change the shortcut combination. cheers, - steve -- random non tech spiel: http://lonetwin.blogspot.com/ tech randomness: http://lonehacks.blogspot.com/ what i'm stumbling into: http://lonetwin.stumbleupon.com/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
