Ok i've tried a couple and they've been miles out.
I don't need anything automated or any json / xml etc just a good website where i can paste in an address, receive co-ords and then paste elsewhere.
anyone recommend a good one?
Hi, What is the best way to install software in a linux machine if you dont have root permissions. I know that we can use few variables like PKG_CONFIG_PATH and switches like --prefix with configure to get a software installed in a local directory, but sometimes when there are recursive dependencies it is becoming tough for me to install all the packages manually. Is there a better automated way?
Update: What i meant by recursive dependencies is: to install package A, i should install package B, which in turn requires package C to be installed
Hi, I have an Ubuntu workstation with Firefox always open on a (autorefreshing) web page protected by basic auth.
At startup, I have autologin and automatic Firefox start on the page and I have saved the basic auth credentials.
I'd like to confirm in some automated way the username/password dialog box which pops up on the first opening of the page, or I'd like to know if there's any hack to avoid this dialog box.
I tried setting the homepage to http://username%3Apassword@myserver/mypage put that doesn't stop confirmation dialog boxes.
I have a mailbox that receives bounces as well as normal email (the latter includes messages from automated services). I want to filter out the bounces and forward them to another mailbox. Assume I cannot change the envelope return path in email I send.
Is “null return path” a reliable criterion to tell bounces from normal mail? Roughly how many false positives and false negatives can I expect if I apply it?
I have a tool which writes some tags to a photo. On some photos it fails, and for those I want to open them in photoshop, and resave it with maximum quality (jpeg). Ideally I would like to do that from the command line as then I can just do:
for %a in (*.jpg) do mytool.exe "%a" || [AUTOMATED PROCESS HERE]
I tried first just doing photoshop.exe "%a" but it seems photoshop doesn't even accept a command line argument for what photo to open.
I'm a bit new to Technet and just trying to work my way round things.
Firstly I want to install Windows Server 2008 R2 as I believe this is the latest edition - however when I look to download it from Technet, it will only allow me to download the Windows Automated Installation Kit. Does this have Windows Server 2008 R2 embedded in WAIK or is there some other extra step to do? Or am I just doing this all wrong :)
I want to be able to provide a URL to a music track, and when that track is played on an iPhone, to show the cover art.
I've tried embedding the cover art as an ID3 v2.3 tag, and while desktop players like VLC and Windows Media Player can see it, it seems the iPhone doesn't.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this - preferably a method which can be automated?
Some times when I delete songs from iTunes it does not ask me if I also want to delete it from the hard drive.
As a result I have a bunch of songs that are taking up space in my hard drive that are not in iTunes.
I have over 3000 files, is there an automated way to find files on the hard drive that are NOT in iTunes? I want to delete them so that they are not taking up space.
Is there any way create multiple guides on the fly in Photoshop in an automated fashion? For example I want to create horizontal guides every 18px all the way down my document(which is 1000px tall). I started by going to View - New Guide, then typed in 18px, then repeated and typed in 36px, and so forth. Is there an easier way?
How is backup done on ubuntu servers?
I have a server (Ubuntu 9.10) which has apache2 installed, php5, mysql etc...
The website is a classifieds website where all classifieds are stored in mysql and Solr.
I need to backup this server with all information to be able to fully restore it if something goes wrong.
How should I start?
Is it an automated task, or will I do backups manually? (prefer manually)
Thanks
Hi,
Is it possible to insert to total amount of slides in a powerpoint footnote? I'm looking for an automated way.
Of couse that I could edit the footer and put it manually, but, if I increase/decrease it, I would be necessary to adjust it. And this is something that we always forget.
The help at MS explains how to do it manually. I can't believe that powerpoint doesn't have it...
TIA,
Bob
I've set up a Windows Preinstallation Environment on a USB Thumb Drive (version from the latest iteration of the Windows Automated Install Kit/WAIK), and I'm working on getting a deployment environment set up.
However, we'd like to make it so our Level 1 technicians can use the deployment system, and because of this, I've written several batch files to minimize the amount of command line work the technicians have to do.
Is there a way I can get these scripts to autorun after the PE environment has finished initializing?
Our team rolled puppet out to our systems over the last six months. We're managing all sorts of resources, and some of them have sensitive data (database passwords for automated backups, license keys for proprietary software, etc.).
Other teams want to get involved in the development of (or at least be able to see) our modules and manifests. What have other people done to continue to have secure data moving through Puppet, while sharing the modules and manifests with a larger audience?
how do I add external drupal modules to an ec2 server? Drupal interface wants me to provide ftp password, but amazon ec2 uses private key pair and not username/password (unless I enable that, which I don't want to)
how would I install from a site like this http://drupal.org/project/restws
if the automated way is not feasible, do I just have to upload the individual module files to a particular drupal folder via sftp?
I have a Windows 2003 Server that I want to migrate to new hardware. All the setup and configuration was done by my predecessor. Right now I'm in a real time crunch and I just want to copy all the files and settings to the new machine. Is there an easy way to do this or do I need to manually copy all the files and add all the settings?
Microsoft KB suggests "Automated System Recovery", is this the best way forward?
Address ..*.* maps to ec2---*-*.compute-1.amazonaws.com, but this does not map back to the address - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!
I keep getting this when I try to log-in to my remote server. I have it set for key authentication and when this error comes through, I still have to push through the password. I want to use this for automated Git pulls, and I can't have this kind of error message. anybody know what is going on here and how to fix it?
I have a bunch of png files that I want to rescale.
Oversimplifying a little, let's say I have files named:
[email protected][email protected][email protected]
and so on, and I want to make:
apple.png
orange.png
pear.png,
and so on, with the output files all at half the scale of the corresponding input files. Is there a good tool for that? I have about 200 input files, so preferably the whole process would be automated.
I have a Zend Server 5.6 development license and I wanted to know if there is a way to apply the license during install, rather than via the web interface after it has installed.
I ask because I administer our server environment via Rightscale and have automated the creation of the server, however it still requires manual input for the license details. We regularly fire up a staging server to do final tests before pushing to production and it would be great if it were completely hands off.
I have a c project with multiple files (more than 100), the codes are written in Whitesmiths style, but I want to change them into K&R style indentation. Is it possible to do using vim in an automated way ?
For example I have a emacs-lisp script to achieve this --
(progn
(find-file "{}")
(mark-whole-buffer)
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
(untabify (point-min) (point-max))
(indent-region (point-min) (point-max) nil)
(save-buffer))
I was wondering if there is a similar trick that could be done with vim.
I want to sort some items in alphabetic order, but in a very specifc way.
I have, for example, the following list, each item separated by comma:
monkeys, dogs, cats
pineapple, banana, orange
yellow, red, blue, green
silver, gold, platinum
delphi, java, c++, visual basic
I want to sort each line alphabetically, WITHOUT changing line order.
My desired result would be:
cats, dogs, monkeys
banana, orange, pineapple
blue, green, red, yellow
gold, platinum, silver
c++, delphi, java, visual basic
My target list has got 3000+ lines, so it should be an automated process.
Thanks!
Has anyone ever used/created a simple unix/linux log parser that can parse logs like the following:
timestamp log_message \n
Order the messages, parse the timestamp, and return:
All messages
Messages after a certain date (--since)
Messages before a certain date (--until)
Combination of --since, --until
I could write something like this, but wasn't sure if there was something canned. It would fit well in some automated reporting I'm planning on doing.
I want to add a script to a rule to auto-print messages as PDF to a specific Folder.
What I found was this: http://is.gd/acmsE but it doesn't work for me on OS X 10.6.
I already know the Save to PDF command and that you can create simple aliases in the "PDF Services" folder, but I need something automated for this task.
I searched the web the whole morning and also tried to write my own Automator workflow but couldn't manage it
Any help is highly appreciated.
I need to find a program to convert a Windows-1250 encoded file to utf8. It needs to be a standalone program (not a python script) and it needs to run on windows (without install). If I can make the conversion using the commandline that would be perfect.
Yes I know notepad can do that but this is meant to be automated.
We're using ImageX to deploy Windows 7 Professional. We've gotten the Windows partition to work, but the recovery partition (100-200MB at the front of the drive in a standard install) isn't as simple. Here's a Technet guide I found: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744280%28WS.10%29.aspx
That looks like it could work, but would take alot of time if we need to do that for every single machine we deploy. Is there a faster/automated way?
