The output will be an ancient CRT TV for now, but my brother can probably work things out once I have everything set up so that if they buy a newer LCD TV, things will be fine. Any opinions on that are welcome as well. I have little experience with this, but hopefully things will go smoothly. As an alternate, I would suggest dispense away with all this research of what works and does not. I use an USB wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I get to control XBMC and also use the same as a PC to browse the net, read email etc. when I am in the mood to be a couch potato :) OK it is less glamorous than an IR remote control but it meets my functional requirements. I'm also intending to build a HTPC using the Raspberry Pi which has XBMC ported on it. I was planning to use a wireless keyboard cum trackball device with its own dongle from Logitech that costs approx 2K. Advantage I saw was - no drivers needed. Was important as I had little control on the XBMC distro. -- Mohan Sundaram ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
[Ilugc] Shell script with arguments
Hi All, I need some help/ideas in coming up with a shell script. Basically, the script should install 1 or 2 or 3 packages based on the input arguments. For example, if I type in pkgscript.sh a1 a2 a3, it should install all the 3 scripts and pkgscript.sh a1 should install only a1. If a user enters only pkgscript.sh, it should ask for arguments and then proceed accordingly. Thanks in advance. -- With regards, G.

Use $# and $@. A rough outline is :
if [[ $# == 0 ]]; then
do something
fi
for pkg in $@
do
install ${pkg}
done
Please read up on bash programming. This will be covered there. thanks

Re: [Ilugc] sudo file on multiple machines
I have 4 machines.. server1 server2 server3 server4 I have configured sudo file on server1. I want all other servers to use the same file. Everytime I update the file I shouldnt have to copy it to all other servers, instead they should use the same file.

And also earlier there was an option to use the same usr partition for different machines, will that still apply, as fedora 17 doesnt allow for a different usr partition. Also please let me know as to why arent files created for all the eth interfaces. I only see the ifcfg file for the first interface and for the other 2 I later added to my VM, I only see dhco lease files and no ifcfg files.

Now that I think about it, the wireless keyboard is far superior. You can type stuff in and whatnot. It'll look a bit odd lying on the coffee table is all.
