Hi L18L,
Sorry for not replying sooner Embarassed

I got side tracked with another little yad project 'Countdown to Action' (circumstance permitting your input would be greatly appreciated)

No biggie with the font selection - your original fc-list update has been working ok for me. - i think urxvtset has turned out pretty sweet considering it was only a few input boxes to start with. Smile

thanks for help.

I have installed 'Countdown to Action' and at first run I had some problems.
Code:
# ./cou*
Countdown: 0,000000 minutes
Execute: urxvt
rxvt: unable to calculate font width for 'Dingbats:style=Regular:pixelsize=16:minspace=True', ignoring.
rxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn, aborting.
#

Having changed the font to Fixed Bold it was OK.
So I am thinking there is a bug with Dingbats.
Or why is it rxvt instead of urxvt???

What input are you expecting?
-Date?
-Drag and drop for Execute?
-Editable Combobox ?
-Passing the task to cronjob?
Everything seems to be possible.

Cheers

Hi L18L,
Great update on Countdown to Action - perhaps we should start a new thread for this application?

My own need for it is to turn off my laptop when downloading torrents so as not to use up all my internet allowance.

I already though of another idea though as a PC/internet timer for parents - probably won't fool any of the older more savy kids who could kill its process but should work ok for younger kids with timedown progress window set to no buttons and borderless to stop them from canceling it. Smile

thanks.

why not just
Code:
wget http://....... && shutdown


timer,
there is /usr/local/pschedule
parents,
kid should use wary112 (unprivileged user fido)

Sorry, I do not see a reason to reinvent these wheels at the moment. Wink

You can use wget to download torrent files - i was unaware of this Question

Yes running as fido would be best to stop any mishaps but Lucid puppy and most all the earlier puppies do not have this option Sad

Sure most things have been done before - but i don't see it as reinventing the wheel - merely more choice, with the added bonus of of having some fun and hopefully learning something along the way Cool

cheers.

Dear L18L,

Countdown to Action is a great little utility. I would only make one slight change to line 32. As written, the input field does not accept arguments. In order for parameters to be passed, line 32 should look like this:

Code:
SETACTION=`echo $COUNTDOWN | cut -d" " -f 3-`


I just added a "-" after 'cut -d" " -f ', which means cut takes all fields starting with f3. Thanks for the utility.

With kind regards,
vovchik

Learning from each other is fun.
Thank you very much for the - (Minus) Smile

The credits go to stu90.
I have just added the field HOUR and ranges for the numeric fields.
Code:
man yad
Cool

This is a little Yad application to perform a simple countdown for x minutes or hours then perform a user defined action or string of actions, such as shutdown puppy (wmpoweroff) or play a media file etc.

When you set a countdown action there will be an icon in the system tray as a reminder - 10 second before the countdown action is performed a little gui window will open alerting you an action is to be performed in 10 seconds and giving the option to cancel the action if you wish.

urxvt in the action field is not needed to run an action, it is just there as an example.



Dependencies:
Countdown to Action requires Yad-0.12.2 to be installed - download is available on this link:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=536533#536533

Tested on Lucid Puppy.

Thanks.

Sorry Stu,

I guess my thanks should have been addressed mainly to you Smile In any case, the utility is useful, and collaboration is always nice to see. To make this app even more complete, you might consider adding a launch at hh:mm and a file select button for the action that would update the input box.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. I use this icon for the GUI. It's a bit big, but I like it.

An additional combobox for choosing from /usr/share/applications.
The checkbox decides where to take the action from.
The input field which I have renamed to "Command" has to be at last position because it can contain more than 1 string.

Writing this down I have got the idea taking another separator than blank that this condition would exist no more.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

 ## Stu90 ## L18L ##
 ## Countdown to Action ##
 ## editable command or combobox v3a
 
 TITLE="Countdown To Action"
 VERSION="0.3a"
 ICON="/usr/share/pixmaps/c2a.png"
 TEXT="<b>Enter Time to countdown \nbefore\nAction or Command. </b> "
 TIME=`date +%H:%M.%P`
 DATE=`date +%d-%m-%Y`


  ### GUI countdown - action ###
  COUNTDOWN=$( yad --title="$TITLE $VERSION" --text="$TEXT" --form --separator=" " --image="$ICON" \
--field="Minutes":NUM "0!0..59" \
--field="Hours":NUM "0!0..23" \
--field="Action":CB "`ls /usr/share/applications | tr '\n' '!' | sed s/.desktop//g `" \
--field="Ignore Command":CHK TRUE \
--field="Command" "urxvt" \

Hello,

i have downloaded and installed the pet, but it won't run.

Error Message:
Code:
sh-3.00# /root/my-applications/bin/countdown
/root/my-applications/bin/countdown: line 17: yad: command not found

Exiting
sh-3.00#

What does it mean and what can i do, to get this tool running? I'm using Puppy Studio 3.3 and Lucid 525 (528).

RSH

Edit:

Sorry, but i must have been blind. Found the yadxxx.pet, downloaded it, and now it works.
