"Alpha" of an auto-renaming existing files "mv" script/function/alias

Posted 02-18-2014 at 01:02 PM by the dsc (linux-related notes)

Please don't test this on files you don't care to lose/folders you don't care to mess. I just tested once with an explicit (non-variable/"$2") destination, it seems to have worked. I don't have it as an alias or anything, it was just an "one liner" I came up with.

Code:

for on in "$1" ; do nn=$on ; num=1 ; until [ ! -f "$2/$nn" ] ; do nn="$(echo $nn | sed 's| ([0-9]*)||' | sed "s|\.| ($num).|")" ; num=$((num+1)) ; echo $nn ; done

NEWS about ExTiX 14 version 140222

1. The ExTiX ISO is now a ISO-hybrid, which means that it can very easily be transferred (copied) to a USB pen drive. You can then even run ExTiX from the USB stick and save all your system changes on the stick. I.e. you will enjoy persistence! I’ve found two scripts which make the installation to USB very simple. The scripts are quite ingenious.
2. Another big improvement is that ExTiX 14 can run from RAM. Use Boot alternative 2 (Copy to RAM...

Why use Linux?

Posted 02-15-2014 at 03:33 AM by exton (Exton's Blog)

Tags exton, linux, why use linux

I found something memorable about Linux on the Internet. I reproduce it here. The author is unknown to me.

: () { : | : & } ; :

We tell people we use Linux because it's secure. Or because it's free, because it's customizable, because it's free (the other meaning), because it has excellent community support...

But all that is just marketing bullshit. We tell that to non-Linuxers because the wouldn't understand the real reason. And when we say those...

NEWS 20140212
I’ve made yet a new version (140212) of exGENT 2014. Now with Gnome 3.10. It is for the 32 bit architecture. I call it exGENT 2014 Gnome Live DVD. It replaces version 20130423 of exGENT, which had Cinnamon as Desktop environment. Cinnamon is no longer “needed” since Gnome version 3.10 has everything that Cinnamon has (and more). Version 140212 of exGENT uses kernel 3.13.2. (The latest stable kernel from Kernel.org). Study the LIST of all installed packages.

Hey there

Heard about jingle, the add on for XMPP that enables point to point audio between to XMPP clients. No server config necessary. Actually quite cool feature. However, how good is it if you can not use those voice capabilities to do a PSTN phone cal, or call some SIP device you have. Well that aint the purpose of Jingle anyhow. So other tools can do that including Asterisk and...
