[Level 3] How to disable mouse pad?

The mouse pad always make me confuse~
Because whiling typing, I'll touch it, and sometime the mis-operation will just close my working screen. It will make me crazy.
Therefore, I write a script to disable the mouse pad,
at this moment, only the external mouse is active.

But, when I try to enable it, I find out that I cannot enable it, it's that a bug???
Whatever, if you have the same problem, just remove your external mouse,
and the touch pad will be active again.

Just enjoy it~


#!/usr/bin/bash
showUsage() {
  cat <<EOF
Usage:
  $0 (d)isable/(e)nable
Ex.
  $0 (d)isable
  $0 (e)nable
Note.
  for solaris only
EOF
}
disableMousePad() {
  [ ! -z "$modno" ] && pfexec modunload -i $modno
}
enableMousePad() {
  [ ! -z "$modname" ] && pfexec modload /kernel/drv/amd64/$modname
}
showMousePad() {
  echo "Show mod info:"
  pfexec modinfo | grep mouse | grep PS/2
}
################################################## main
export LC_ALL=C
modno=`pfexec modinfo | grep mouse | grep PS/2 | awk '{print($1)}'`
modname=`pfexec modinfo | grep mouse | grep PS/2 | awk '{print($6)}'`
if [ ! -z "$modname" ]
then
  echo "$modname" >> $0.mousepad
elif [ -f $0.mousepad ]
then
  modname=`cat $0.mousepad | head -1`
else
  echo "missing modname info, exit program..."
  exit 1
fi
#set -vx
#sAction=`echo $1 | /usr/bin/tr [A-Z] [a-z]`
sAction=$1
case $sAction in
disable|d|DISABLE|D)
  disableMousePad
  showMousePad
  ;;
enable|e|ENABLE|E)
  enableMousePad
  showMousePad
  ;;
*)
  echo "Error with wrong action($1), exit program..."
  showUsage
  ;;
esac

Wish this helps.

[Level 1] Rar tool for Solaris.

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
