[Level 2] Shell Interactive With Zenity Episode 6 -- notification

What option can we use, if we want to let user get something show? You can use the option "--notification", the synoposis as the following:

SYNOPSIS
     zenity --notification [--window-icon=path] [--timeout=seconds] [--text=text] [--listen]

Just like "--calendar", if you press "ESC" key or click button "Cancel", the return code will be "1". If you select one option and click "OK", zenity will response the option and return the code will be "0". And also the same effect about the options "--title", "--timeout"...etc, for saving your time, please refer to the previous post "[Level 2] Shell Interactive With Zenity Episode 1 -- calendar", too.

When you enter the command ¨zenity --notification¨, you will get a warning sign on the panel. Ex.
# zenity --notification

# zenity --notification --text="Here is the tip"

The notification also support listening, that means the zenity will receive the message from standard input, then display on the notification. If you want to use this function, you can use the option "--listen". This function include "message", "tooltip", "icon" and "visible". The content and the tag are separated by a colon. The sample as the following:

#zenity --notification --listen
tooltip:Here is the tip

message:Here is the message.

icon:/tmp/notification.png

icon: (leave the content empty, for reversing to the original icon)


visible:false

visible:true

Wish this helps.

Sometimes we will got a rar compressed file from our friends, but there is no default tool in OpenSolaris to decompress the rar filess. We can got a Solaris Intel version from rarlab . The steps as the following: 1. down load the rar tools from rarlab. http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm 2. uncompressed the source. # gunzip ./unrar-sol-intel.gz 3. move it to the location you used to. # mv /unrar-sol-intel.gz /usr/bin/unrar 4. try to decomprss # unrar x ./test.rar Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang

[Level 2] iif in Python

If you want to implement iif in Python, please refer to the following sample code: #!/bin/env python def iif(b): return 'It\'s True' if b else 'It\'s False' print iif(True) print iif(False) And the following sample, guess what will you get! #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' Result: $ ./iif.py b: Ture False The second result is "False", not "b: False". Why??? Because the prededence of string concatenation is higher than if. Therefore you need to use () to make it correct. #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % ('Ture' if b else 'False') Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang
