In Pschedule main window the tasks are shown in commands and time, so we must edit or delete by judging from commands and time. It may cause mistakes. If you want to see the task name in the main window, in stead of command-lines, you should enter the commands with "#" followed by task names. For example,
Code:
gxine http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/ram/live_infent.ram #BBC news

("BBC news" is the task name in this case)
And edit func_cron_to_human file as follows.
(line 22, the difinition of $COMMAND)
Code:
COMMAND=`echo "$CRONCOMMAND" | cut -d " " -f 6- | cut -d "#" -f 2`

You will see the task name ("BBC news") in main window.
I hope the future version of Pschedule has a task-names entry in addition to the conventional command entry.

PostPosted: Sat 16 May 2009, 08:08    Post subject: Multiple crond  
If you restart X in a session, you will find 2 "cronds" running. One is of before restarting X, and another is of after restarting. This bug is caused by the command line "crond" in /root/.xinitrc. To fix this, this part in /root/.xinitrc should be "killall -q crond; crond" and the line 24 in /usr/local/pschedule/pschedule should be modified as below.

echo "killall -q crond; crond" >> $HOME/.xinitrc

I think we better make a cron-check-script in /root/Startup like the one in Pbackup.

PostPosted: Fri 01 Jan 2010, 09:37    Post subject: unable to pass embedded paths or filenames containing spaces
Subject description: as commandline args		  
Thank you for updating Pschedule.

Unfortunately, whilst now modifying precord to utilise the new facility, I have come across a small but critical error which prevents the passing of commands or tasknames which contain embedded quotes, and/or paths or filenames which contain spaces or multiple spaces of various lengths.

For example, I need to be able to pass a command such as:
Code:

precord "rec '$DIR1FILE'"

where DIR1FILE contains a path/filename which may contain spaces or multiple connected spaces. In the Pschedule "Command" window, the result should of course end up being:

precord rec 'what the path filename is including any spacesand the surrounding quotes'

To fix the problem the following two small changes are required in func_new:

line 59:

Code:

Change:

<entry><variable>TASK</variable><input>echo $TASK</input></entry>

to:

<entry><variable>TASK</variable><input>echo \"$TASK\"</input></entry>


line 63:

Code:

Change:

   <entry><variable>TASKNAME</variable><input>echo $TASKNAME</input></entry>

to:

<entry><variable>TASKNAME</variable><input>echo \"$TASKNAME\"</input></entry>

It would be nice if there was a button to enable/disable a task. I think this can be done just by commenting it with a # in the crontab, although making the gui handle the disabled tasks would be a bit more difficult Smile

Zigbert is there any way to start a program like ffmpeg at a predetermined time then stop it at a later predetermined time.

I would like to use Pschedule with ffmpeg to record shows on TV.

I assume you would setup a second cron job but how do you reference the original terminal window and job?

This should kill ongoing ffmpeg processes
Code:
kill -9 `ps | grep ffmpeg | awk '{print $1}'`

I loaded version .08 but it still says .07 even after a reboot.
I am running 431.
Also what would the command be if I wanted pschedule to play a song say in sda1/documents/my music/some-tune.mp3 ?

TIA

How about the -t option?
Code:
~# ffmpeg -h|grep duration
...
-t duration         record or transcode "duration" seconds of audio/video

So , you installed the Pshcehule pet in the main post, and it still shows version 0.7 ?
Code:
# pschedule -v
Pschedule 0.8


To play a song you can use the builtin player. I don't remember if it is Aqualung or Pmusic. Aqualung "sda1/documents/my music/some-tune.mp3" should do the job.

-t duration         record or transcode "duration" seconds of audio/video
Pmusic has also the -t switch

Code:
# pmusic --help
Usage: pmusic [OPTION(S)] [FILE(S) / DIR(S) / URL(S)]

Options
  -a          Add [FILE(S) / DIR(S) / URL(S)] to playlist instead of playing it
  -b          use Pmusic as backend - no GUI
  -c          Loads CD-audio disc into playlist and starts playing
  -h          Show this help message
  -p PRESET   Use This GUI-preset instead of the one defined in rc
              Available GUIs are stored in /usr/local/pmusic/presets/
  -r          Add/open directories recursively
  -s SIGNAL   Send signal to a running instance of Pmusic
                next    - Play next song in playlist
                mute    - Turn volume On/Off
                pause   - Pause/Play audio
                prev    - Play previous song in playlist
                quit    - Quit all pmusic processes
                volup   - Increase volume level with 10%
                voldown - Decrease volume level with 10%
  -t xx:xx    Set the start time offset
              This does not work with the -a switch
  -v          Show Pmusic version
 
Supported formats (with working alsa and ffmpeg):
\.aiff|\.aac|\.ape|\.asf|\.au|\.flac|\.gsm|\.m4a|\.mp3|\.mp4|\.ogg|\.ra|\.raw|\.shn|\.voc|\.wav|\.wma
