repair-database (My first zenity script)

[Was_Just19]

This example might give you an idea

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
my_test() {
zenity --question --width 500 --text "    Select <b>Yes</b> to Continue or <b>No</b> to repeat the question" --title "Loop Test"
# If user selects "No" then ask again
if [ "$?" != 0 ]
then
my_test
fi
}
# Main Programme
my_test
exit 0

oh I see this actually helped me thanks.

EDIT:
rereading this almost sounds like I'm saying Neal didn't help and I don't mean that.

Added a retry button to check super user - thanks just19 (Did not update the zenity version yet)

I can't seem to fined any answer to the cancel buttons. They work just very delayed.

[glamdring]

So I put the whole script back together today, looked at my cancel button problem. I have got everything working great.

The script continues to finish rebuilding or cleaning out the database when hitting cancel, but to my knowledge there is no way to stop this operation in it's tracks. If someone knows a way that would be awesome, if not I'm going to just assume this script is complete for now. I will add the information on the first post if you want to put this in your own menu.

I'm starting to script something new, so this will most likly be the extent that I will persue this unless something comes up or I disscover something while learning how to script better.

-Thank You for all the help and I hope this is helpful to someone at some point, other than myself.

I had forgotten about this - age, too busy or something. Any road, I have a question, glamdring. Does your cancel call for the process to be killed or does it call for the process to stop? I'm thinking to call 'kill' would be better for canceling.     

[daniel]

Use you know YAD or ZENITY?

I move to YAD, and this works great:

Code: [Select]

...snip
echo "20" ; sleep 1
echo "15" ; sleep 1
echo "10" ; sleep 1
echo "5" ; sleep 1
echo "1" ; sleep 1 ) |
        yad --progress \
  --window-icon=$ICON \
          --title $"$TITLE""$VERSION" \
          --text=$"Your system will shutdown in 20 seconds.\n<b>To abort click on cancel!</b>" \
          --percentage=0 \
  --auto-close \
#   --auto-kill
if [ "$?" = 1 ] ; then
                 yad --title $"$TITLE""$VERSION" \
                 --button="gtk-ok:0" \
                 --width 300 \
                 --window-icon=$ICON \
                 --text=$"Aborted by user!"
                 exit
         fi
snip...
If you can see, i disable --auto-kill function.
Good luck.

Well I know it dose exit correctly, because it dose this $RXURD. I'm just still getting a decent delay between pressing the button and the next box appearing. Do you think perhaps it is working, just taking that long to kill it? It dose kill it much faster on my new computer, but maybe that's just the database being rebuilt that much faster?

I tried removing --auto-kill and the speed/results seemed the same, which also makes me think --auto-kill isn't doing anything. I believe Synaptic has been updated to the version that has the bug fix for --auto-kill, I will go check.

I'm using --auto-kill, which should kill it. Is there a way to make the program echo what it's PID is, so I can kill the PID?

[Neal ManBear]

Perhaps a check of the PID man page will reveal a way to do that.

Code: [Select]

pkill <script name>    might do what you need

else

Code: [Select]

mypid=$$  within the script, will get the PID of the script

Code: [Select]

kill $mypid   will delete it

[glamdring]

Perhaps a check of the PID man page will reveal a way to do that.     

I will give it a look later tonight and I will try out your suggestion Just19.

I have to actually get some work done today. When do you guys guess the new version of yad will hit the repos? Is it already in the test repos?

[Neal ManBear]

Leiche has already packaged the update. It should not be too long now.

Great, by the way while playing around and learning how to take advantage of user inputs and made  a fun little script that makes shortcuts for you. Of course it's most likely quicker to make them in the terminal, I found it to entertain me today.

Good from you, that you add

Code: [Select]

export TEXTDOMAIN=shortcut-maker
export TEXTDOMAINDIR="/usr/share/locale"
but you must add a $ for all descriptions

it failed by you

Code: [Select]

MSG="No changes were made to your system."
MSG2="Do you want to creat a shurtcut?"
add it

Code: [Select]

MSG=$"No changes were made to your system."
MSG2=$"Do you want to creat a shurtcut?"
and we can translate your script

a simple way to get a pot file is bash_trans
