Zeitmanagment nach *nix-Art

Für alle die den Absprung bei der Arbeit nie rechtzeitig hinbekommen.
# root werden
sudo bash
# Mo-Fr 18:01 == Feierabend ;)
crontab -l > /tmp/cron.tmp && echo "1 18 * * 1-5 shutdown now -h" >> /tmp/cron.tmp && crontab /tmp/cron.tmp
Nur für rechtzeitiges erscheinen zur Arbeit muss man noch manuell sorgen :D

Netbeans 6.5 curly bracket problem in Ubuntu Jaunty

06:23PM Apr 26, 2009 in category Linux & Co by Alexander Pirsig

I've just started with netbeans + grails this morning but instead of writing my first grails controller I had to manage a problem with curly brackets and the german keyboard layout. The problem was that after pressing ALTGR + 7 which is { on german keyboards, netbeans returned a "7".

Just as Brain proposes in his blog, you can overload a x-server system variable called "XMODIFIERS" bevor starting NetBeans.

This can be accomplished in two ways. Solution one just overloads this variable, bevor calling netbeans IDE.
export XMODIFIERS='' && ./NetBeansInstallDir/bin/netbeans [ENTER]
Another solution is to place that call directly in the netbeans startup script. Todo so open the startup script with "vi NetBeansInstallDir/bin/netbeans" and place the following line at the very beginning of this file.
#!/bin/sh # <- this is the first line of netbeans script
export XMODIFIERS=''; # <- INSERT this line
After a restart Netbeans should behave now.
