Here is the script code from an upstart job I'm trying to get working
(but which doesn't work yet):
# test for a fat client:
if [[ $(hostname | grep 'ltsp') == ltsp* ]]; then
sed 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=1/'
<~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
>~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
# test for a thin client:
elif [ -n "$LTSP_CLIENT" ]; then
sed 's/mount_removable=1/mount_removable=0/'
<~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
>~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
# machine must be the server
else
sed 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=1/'
<~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
>~/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
fi
Assuming that it was tripping on ~, I also tried:
# test for a fat client:
if [[ $(hostname | grep 'ltsp') == ltsp* ]]; then
sed 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=1/'
<$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
>$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
# test for a thin client:
elif [ -n "$LTSP_CLIENT" ]; then
sed 's/mount_removable=1/mount_removable=0/'
<$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
>$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
# machine must be the server
else
sed 's/mount_removable=0/mount_removable=1/'
<$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
>$HOME/.config/pcmanfm/lubuntu/pcmanfm.conf
fi
I'm guessing that my file identification strings need fixing up, but I'm
such a poor scripter that this could only be one of several mistakes.
Check my homework?
