Clearcache - another script to selectively clear your pacman cache.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50498
I learned there are a number of scripts designed to do the same thing after I
wrote the basic framework, but I went ahead and finished it anyway.
clearcache has a number of features I haven't seen elsewhere,
usage: clearcache [options] [targets]
Options:
-h, --help display this help menu
-d, --dry dry run, simply list targets instead of removing
-q, --quiet only prints filenames for -d/--dry or -l/--list-targets
-f, --force force removal of package files
-i, --ignore <pkg> specify package(s) to ignore. this can be a comma
separated list, or '-' reads a list from stdin, one
per line. can be used more than once.
-k, --keep <num> specify number of old package files to keep. by default,
clearcache will keep the two most recent versions.
-l, --list-targets list targets to remove, using PAGER/less, before
removing. may not be used with -d/--dry
-t, --threads <num> use <num> threads. the default value is 5. using a
large number will not gain you much, and is not
recommended, but there is no hard limit.
-u, --uninstalled remove all package files for packages that are not
currently installed, while still keeping the
specified number of old files for installed packages
-v, --verbose output more
there MUST be a space between the option and its argument.
Targets:
targets are package names, as you would specify them to pacman.
if targets are specified, only package files belonging to them will be
removed. if no targets are specified, all packages except for thos
specified to be ignored will be removed.
It now uses the .PKGINFO file within the package itself, in order to know which
package it belongs to (Thanks again brisbin). This eliminates any issues with
parsing the name from the version info, in the filename.
Obviously using alpm or such would be faster, but this was a quick project. I
wrote a short snippet for myself, and decided to extend it.
Anyway, hope someone else finds this useful, let me know if you find any bugs,
or have any feature reqs.
Potential issues:
As seems to be the most common issue with scripts like this, it assumes the
most recent package in the cache is the one installed, or the one you would
want to keep. I'm considering parsing pacman output to compare the versions,
at least as an option.
EDIT:
Now with multithreading! It has taken about 10% off the execution time on a single
core netbook, and gets faster on better processors. If nothing else, it was a good
experiment, but I think it turned out rather well.

HT5343 Why is killing mDNSResponder the recommended method of clearing your DNS cache in 10.7+?

mDNSResponder is also in control of Bonjour advertisement and unicast DNS resolution. So killing mDNSResponder is a good way to clear your cache in the same way that throwing your computer out a window is a good way to turn it off.
Why not continue to use "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache" like we always have? It still even works in 10.7+.

As Linc indicated, the command recommended by Apple is:
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
This restarts the process; it doesn't kill it. In 10.7 and 10.8 the mDNSResponder daemon caches DNS query results, so even if you flush the other cache, old results can still crop up. Restarting the mDNSResponder daemon clears that cache.
Regards.

Partial clearing of pacman cache

Is there a way of partially clearing the cache of old packages. I'll explain, every now and then I have to downgrade a package, due to some sort of issue, (usually wine or ati packages). Down grading to the previous version is usually good enough, but sometimes I need to go back further. So that I can do this I don't clear the cache to frequently.
Now I know that doing a "pacman -Sc" will remove all the old packages upto the currently installed one, and a "pacman -Scc" removes everything. But it would be nice (for me anyway) if you could add a parameter to the "c" to leave that many versions of a package in the cache
example "pacman -Sc=3" this would leave the 3 latest versions of packages alone, but clear out anything older. If there wasn't 3 versions of a package, in the cache, then it would be left alone.
People could keep the number of copies that they feel comfortable with, or not specify a number and things would work as they currently do.
Does anyone know of a way to do a partial clearing alongs the lines discribed?
Thanks

you could always go into /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ and delete the packages you don't need.
posting your suggestion to the bugzilla might yield better chances of it being implemented as a feature.
Thanks for the input, I was just asking to see if anyone new of a way to achieve this currently, and also to see if it other thought it would be useful.

Another simple bash script to clean pacman cache

here is a simple script that I have written which cleans pacman cache folder in a way that only the packages which are now "updated" in the repositories, will get removed. This is different from what "pacman -Sc" does. pacman -Sc also removes any package which is not installed, while this script keeps all the packages which are updated whether they are installed or not.
The functionality is some how like what "apt-get autoclean" does in debian.
to use this script you need to run it with "list" or "clean" arguments. you can also use the "help" argument for more help.
I hope it helps
#! /bin/bash
# clcache - This script cleans pacman cache folder in a way that only the packages
#+ which are now updated in the repositories, will get removed. This is

#+ which is not installed, while this script keeps all the packages which are

1. `echo -e 'foo\nbar\nbaz'` gets long and unreadable quickly. Instead, use here documents:
cat <<EOF
What should I do?
Valid Argument are "list", "clean" or "help"
EOF
2. Use a case command, looks cleaner:
case "$1" in
list) ... ;;
clean) ... ;;
help|-h|--hep) ... ;;
# Check if the user is sure!
echo "This might take a while based on the amount of cached packages."

then

exit 0

Try:
read -p "hello: " -r
echo $REPLY
And again, `case` should be cleaner in this case.
# Process the packages
cd $DIR #change to cache directory.
pacman -Sl | awk '{ print $2" "$3; }' > $TMPFILE
While you quoted a lot, you left these two out. "$DIR" and "$TMPFILE" should be quoted, otherwise whitespaces will break the code.
for f in $(ls $DIR)
Apart from the same missing quotes, calling `ls` is a waste here. The following is sufficient and (maybe surprisingly) more accurate:
for f in *
How is it more accurate? Run this test script:
#!/bin/bash
DIR=/tmp/foo
mkdir -p "$DIR"
cd "$DIR"
touch a\ b c$'\n'd
for i in *; do
printf '+%s+\n' "$i"
done
printf '%s\n' ---
for i in $(ls $DIR); do
printf '+%s+\n' "$i"
done
Let's not go too far here. Just get the idea.
do
pname=$(file $f | cut -d: -f1) #Produces filename, like: fetchmail-6.3.19-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz"
Calling `file` here is, again, unnecessary. Also, filename of a package can contain ":", e.g., vi-1:050325-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz, which breaks your code.
Don't complicate things:
pname=$f
spname=$(echo $pname | sed 's/-[0-9][0-9]*.*//g') #removes package version: fetchmail
Broken for ntfs-3g-2011.4.12-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz, nvidia-173xx-utils-173.14.31-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz, etc... Something less lousy:
sed 's/$-[^-]\+$\{3\}$//' <<< "$pname"
pver=$(echo $pname | sed 's/.*-$[0-9\-\.][0-9\-\.]*-[0-9\-\.][0-9\-\.]*$.*/\1/g') #using pacman -Qi for all files takes a lot of time.
Although this might work for now, this would break if we had an architecture that starts with a digit, e.g. 686. Something less lousy:
sed 's/$.*$-$[^-]\+-[^-]\+$-[^-]\+$/\2/' <<< "$pname"
if [ $(echo $pver | grep '[^0-9\-\.\-\-]' | wc -l) != 0 ] #checks if package version is alright
then
pver=$(pacman -Qpi $f | grep Version | awk '{print $3}')
fi
Again, calling `wc` here is a waste. Anyway, why is this check necessary at all?
newpver=$(grep -e "^$spname " $TMPFILE | awk '{ print $2 }')
if [[ $newpver != $pver ]]
then
$ACTION $f
fi
done
rm -f $TMPFILE
echo "Outdated packages processed successfully!"
exit 0
The post is getting too long, so so much from me. If there's anything you don't understand yet, read bash(1).
If I sound harsh or anything, don't be discouraged. Just keep reading, keep improving.

Making a form field required when another field is selected

I have a contact form with the usual fields required (name, address, city, etc.). I'm adding a Country pull-down list to the form, which will default to the US being selected. Since a "State" field is not relevant for anyone filling out the form from another country, I'd like to make the State field required only if the country selected is United States, and not required for any other country. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
R-Co

What you need is to be able to create a required textfield when the first textfield shows USA and destroy the required field when another country is selected.
The following may help to understand create and destroy

ICR: FBICS3 selects cleared documents and old documents

Hi, I have just gone live with ICR functionality (processes 002 & 003) and I have notice that FBICS3 transaction is not working as I expected:
1/ "Old documents": If I set in the program FBICS3 "year = 2010" & "month = 01"" I expected that the program would select document posted on period 1 year 2010. The reality is that the program has selected data from 2007 to now. I am surprised but probably the problem is that I did not understand how FBICS3 select data. I assume It is correct and was my error. Since fiscal year and period are used to determine the key date of open items (open items "opened" at mm yyyy).
2/But my real problem is that FBICS3 has selected cleared items and shows them on FBICA3 which I am sure is not correct.
Does any body know if there is a SAP note that applies on this issue?
Thanks a lot

In order to give more information:
I have already implemented following SAP Notes
1159776     ICR: Select data from newGL     FI-GL-GL-G
1235689     ICR: Runtime error TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED     FI-GL-GL-G

Thanks in advance for your help

Using variables defined in another script

hallo
i have two separate scripts trigered by two unique shortcuts:
lets say first SCRIPT_1 takes a color (or any other property) of currentlly selected object and saves it in a variable "objCOLOR"
than i work on something else for a while or select different objects and eventually run SCRIPT_2 where id like to use value "objCOLOR" which i defined a while ago using SCRIPT_1
is it possible to define variables in one script and after a while use them in another script ? some kind of SUPER GLOBAL variables stored in memory of InDesign ? available to be used by various scripts ?

I'm not JS man - but you can do this other way - use InsertLabel and ExtractLabel
description from VB:
Sub InsertLabel(Key As String, Value As String)
Member of InDesign.Document
Sets the label to the value associated with the specified key. / Key: The key. / Value: The value.
Function ExtractLabel(Key As String) As String
Member of InDesign.Document
Gets the label value associated with the specified key. / Return value: The label. / Key: The key.
example in VB:
first script:
myDoc.InsertLabel("objCOLOR","0,120,24,0")
second script:
myColor = myDoc.ExtractLabel("objCOLOR")
I don't know if you can save color value directly ...
I'm not sure - but you can use .InsertLabel and .ExtractLabel with all objects in InDesign

FETCHING VALUES IN MULTI RECORD BLOCK FROM ANOTHER TABLE USING SELECT STATEMENT.

Hi,
I have one multi record block in which i want to fetch values
(more then one record) from another table using select statement
IN KEY NEXT ITEM.I am getting following error.
ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
Thanks in advance.

In your case I see no reason to use non-database block and to try to populate it from a trigger with a query, instead of using the default forms functionality where you can associate the block and the fields with table, create where clause using bind variables and simply use execute_query() build-in to populate the block. The power of the forms is to use their build-in functionality to interact with the database.
Also, you can base your block on a query, not on a table and you dynamically change this query using set_block_property() build-in. You can use any dynamic queries (based on different data sources) and you simply need to control the column's data type, the number of the columns and their aliases. Something like creating inline views as a block data source.
However, you can replace the explicit cursor with implicit one like
go_block('non_db_block_name');
first_record();
FOR v_tab IN (SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE col_name = :variable)
LOOP
:non_db_block_name.field1 := v_tab.col1;
:non_db_block_name.field2 := v_tab.col2;
next_record();
END LOOP;

Graph your pacman activity!

Today I wanted to create a simple script that would graph my pacman activity, and I thought I might as well share it with community. Below you can find a python script that serves that purpose. You will need python2-matplotlib to use it. And here what my version of the graph looks like:

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Waiting for another script to finish...

I can no more start or stop FMS3 server, it says :
Waiting for another script to finish...
According to the start script, i check
/home/fms/tmp/script.lck and i have this file as empty, what should
i do then ?
Do you all have this file ? /home/fms/tmp/script.lck ?

My reply is late i just read your problem after having the same, it locked up my whole Ubuntu system.
Its easy to solve just delete the lock folder you see. Server should restart and work fine.

Is it possible to clear your photo stream?

I was just wondering if it's possible to clear your photo stream...that is all.

Do you want to delete the photos in your PhotoStream?
You can do that. Find the screen with all the thumbnails of the photos in your PhotoStream. Tap on Select. Then select the photos you want to delete. Tap on trash.

Illustrator script to select multiple layers

I have about 74 layers in illustrator and i want to run a script to select combination of layers at a time.
For e.g. I want 5 layers to be selected and save them as one .jpg. Then say i need to select other 3 layers to save it as a seperate .jpg file. If i do it manually it comes upto 300,000 images.
I can create a csv file with all layers to be selected presented in a row. I need help with the command to select 4 or more layers at a time, say if i have layer1, layer2, layer3, layer4 then a command to select those 4 layers and save them as a .jpg file.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Create a csv or .text file ( i used "test.txt" and place it at any location say C:\\)
Enter the layer names to be exported in each row separated by ";" like
Layer 1;Layer 2
Layer 4;Layer 5;Layer 7      // you can type in the names of as many layers you wanted to export in a single jpeg
Open your main .Ai file in Illustrator and run the following script
var count;
count =1;
var f = new File ("C:\\test.txt");
f.open("r");
while(!f.eof)
c=f.readln();
var arr = c.split(";");
var len= arr.length;
for(i=0;i<len;i++)
   lay= app.activeDocument.layers.getByName(arr[i]);
   lay.hasSelectedArtwork=true;
app.copy();
app.documents.add();
app.paste();
   var exportOptions = new ExportOptionsJPEG();
   var type = ExportType.JPEG
   var fileSpec = new File("c:\\"+count+".jpg");
    app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, type, exportOptions );
app.activeDocument.close();
for(i=0;i<len;i++)
    app.activeDocument.layers.getByName(arr[i]).hasSelectedArtwork=false;
count ++;
What this script is doing is
it is reading a line from the .txt file (c:\\test.txt in this case) and pushing the layers to be exported in an array
then selecting the objects on the layers to be exported
copying the selected contents
pasting the contents on the new doc
exporting as jpeg
closing the doc
deselecting the selected objects
Hope this will solve your problem ...

Im stuck on trying to call another script

I have a script that I want to excute another script that places phone calls. I have both scripts done but my main script is not excuting my phone call script. From what I have read on the forum the highlighted line is what i think is what im supposed to do but it does not seem to be working. Sorry if this is a dumb question I am new at UCCX scripting.

Matt, I don't see what you are talking about when you say "the highlighted line."
Also, you didn't mention how your calling the second script from the first one. I wonder if you meant to upload a screenshot?
