Auto Key press fill forms through simulating key presses | Linux.com

amitag — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 03:16:33 +0000

This script can be used to repeatedly press keys on the keyboard, it was used to fill out 100 odd entries on a web page while testing without having to physically enter the data.

Save the code below some where like /usr/bin/ with what ever file name you like, set the file to be executable with chmod +x /usr/bin/keyrepeat

you can then run the command keyrepeat 100 “1″ or what ever you chose as the filename of your script.

You will have 5 seconds to focus a window, the program will then simulate a user pressing the keys on the keyboard.

sleep 5 #delay to allow the user to focus a window number=$1 #first parameter, number of times to repeat text=$2 #second parameter, text to repeat will interpret as tab for ((counter=1;counter< =$number;counter+=1)); do #loop required number of times xvkbd -xsendevent -text $text #this sends the text as key presses done

Adding a sub-menu in the wordpress admin menu :)

Amit Agarwal — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 04:15:06 +0000

For the impatient ones, first the code:
(in wp-admin folder, open the file menu.php) and locate the code:

$submenu['edit.php'][10] = array( _x(‘Add New’, ‘post’), ‘edit_posts’, ‘post-new.php’ );

and add the below:

$submenu['edit.php'][7] = array( _x(‘Pending’, ‘post’), ‘edit_posts’, ‘edit.php?post_status=pending&post_type=post’ );

And now the explanation and why do you need this

Problem:

There is no direct mechanism to access the pending posts in WP admin. I generally post through email and mark them as pending. So, whenever I go to my admin POSTs page, I will look through the list of pending items and post them as and when required. For this, when I am done with changes in one item, I need to either modify the address bar or need to go to posts link and then click the Pending items.

I kind of did not like this so added one submenu just below the add new.. Cool, this is my first hack of the WP-core to get something going. For Plugins and sidebar I have kept doing this anywasys

Find who is using my network – top for network utilization

Amit Agarwal — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:09:37 +0000

Ok here is something that I have been looking for something. Now that I have conky installed, so I can see the bandwidth usage on my desktop but was wondering for sometimes, where actually so much is being used. So did some quick search to see if I can get that info and did not have to go too far

There is s utility called iftop in the Fedora repo and at the URL. Oh and how to use it, just type sudo iftop or if you have multiple network interface then you can do “iftop -f <device name>”. Thats pretty simple and cool.

Name       : iftop
Arch       : i386
Version    : 0.17
Release    : 7.fc9
Size       : 71 k
Repo       : installed
Summary    : Command line tool that displays bandwidth usage on an interface
URL        : http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/
License    : GPLv2+
Description: iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It
: listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a
: table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. Handy for
: answering the question “why is our ADSL link so slow?”.

For those of you, fond of pictures, here’s a screenshot:

PuTTY alternatives – AlternativeTo.net

Amit Agarwal — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:09:35 +0000

I like PuTTY quite a bit but do not like the fact that it does not have any tab feature. So, if I am working on multiple machines then un-necessarily I will have too many windows open cluttering my desktop. So, here is the result of my quest to find the alternative:
http://alternativeto.net/desktop/putty/

PuTTY ssh without password (amit-agarwal.co.in)
KiTTY is Win32-native PuTTY (downloadsquad.com)
KiTTY Adds Session Saving, Portability, and More to PuTTY [Downloads] (lifehacker.com)
PuTTY export client display on login for opening X application and terminal. (amit-agarwal.co.in)

importing outlook pst files in evolution in Fedora 13 ( Goddard)

Amit Agarwal — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 03:53:09 +0000

If you were using outlook and moved to some other mail client then you know the pain of moving the mails from outlook mail from outlook to any other client.

If you are using evolution on Fedora, then you are in luck. Just install the plug-in and select the file to import as simple as that.

sudo yum install evolution-pst

Well, can it get simpler than that and a post shorter than this

Bash Examples – Mistakes to Avoid

Amit Agarwal — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 04:04:34 +0000

A bash script is a text file containing a list of commands to be executed by the bash shell. A long time back, I had written a guide on Bash scripting which teaches you the basic syntax of bash scripts in a mere 10 seconds.

Rest here.
