(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

About the only item I did not see (Using the version from Puppy Lupu 520), is one for SFS load on the fly.
What I would like to see is the Puppy Menu use PupControl in place of all of the menu items that it accesses. It would give Puppy some polish and save hunting through the menu and sub-menus for stuff.
At times, the menu in Puppy seems to be growing into a monster.
And PupControl would sure clean it up if Puppy was built with it in place of the menu items it replaces.
BTW, Great Job!

Hi sjsrikanth,

Yes, PupControl is compatible with all current 32-bit and 64-bit Puppies, including Precise.

1 - During installation, you will have the option to link PupControl to the desktop 'setup' icon.
2 - After installation, go to 'Preferences' to select your default applications.

Thank u radky.

Thank you vicmz and rodin.s,

Widespread infuenza has slowed productivity in my community (and home), but I'm improving slowly.

New releases of PupControl, PupShutdown and PupClockset will be available in the next few days. The new PupControl will have a few changes in gui text that require minor additions to the gettexted scripts provided by rodin.s.

Thanks again for your continued support.

PupControl-2.3 See main post.
- Added 'Computer Status Report' to the Settings tab.
- Improved access to applications in the System tab.
- Added support for additional applications such as pdiag, pupmd5sum, samba-search, samba-select, video-info, video-info-glx and video-fps.
- Enhanced support for LXDE.
- Enhanced network, sensors, SCSI, USB, video and system-activity reports in the PupSysInfo module.

Did you put in a list of Cron Jobs in this version.
I did this in report-system?
I formed it with a simple loop. You could adapt my code.

You could have the list and a button to launch pschedule together.

That option is not included in the system reports of PupControl or PupSysInfo, but I'll keep it in mind as a possibility for future releases.

Thanks
