Anyone interested in testing an aria2 webUI?

[AbNoRMiS]

i also thought how would better
automatically define prefix variable
rather than set it tough...

prefix solved simply

Code: [Select]

A2WEB=`find /usr -name a2web.cgi`
PREFIX=${A2WEB%%/share*}

and when i rode to home then i thought
that not very well written search for path to busybox httpd
if this will applied for different linux distributions

i think that this will be better

Code: [Select]

# find busybox httpd if running a2web.cgi not found
for item in `find ${PATH//:/ } /usr -name httpd -type l`; do
    [ -x $item ] && readlink $item | grep -q busybox && HTBIN=$item && break
done

Please upload the complete script instead of snippets

sorry for delay
this took two nights instead one as i imagined

changes:
- removed dir option checking and passing it to aria2 command line
- modified hard assignment of prefix to determination by search
- corrected search for determine path to busybox httpd
- changed user/group for busybox httpd to nobody/nogroup
- added simple option validation for configuration file a2web.conf
- added function for determine user instead of hard assignment
- appointed current a2webd version number to 0.2

Added it to the a2web repo. The extension update will have to wait a bit (ibiblio low on space again).

people say that every idea can be brought to absurd
and i think that i proved it once again in my case
i apologize that not warned you but i made a2webd 0.3
i decided to have fun with google code
and watch with what it is eaten
here it is that happened with this
https://code.google.com/p/a2webd/

changes in a2webd 0.3:
- fixed incorrect definition for path to /etc
- corrected function of current user determination
- added creating icon, link a2web->a2debd, desktop entry
- added feature to start a defined, default or found web browser

With a separate project, maybe better to have just a link than a copy?

[AbNoRMiS]

sorry, i do not quite understood what you mean?

[curaga]

With your script having its own project page, I think it would be better not to include it in a2web, but rather just link to it.

[AbNoRMiS]

i again don't quite understand why you think so
if you mean that i need work with a2webd within github
i yet don't know how to do it but i can try to cope with this
if you make link to wiki then i can add there a2webd pages
but maybe if you don't have time to engage with this
then i really can keep it as separate project
although a2webd is only supplement to a2web
for convenient use by end users
any variants can be considered

p.s.
i can make separate extension a2webd.tcz
to not make changes to existing a2web.tcz
and also for adding xdg-utils.tcz as deps
what do you think about this?

[curaga]

With your own project page at google code, it doesn't make sense to keep a copy in the a2web sources. Such a copy is always likely to be a bit less up to date than the direct source.

Yeah, having a separate extension sounds good too. Then you can easily send updates without having to wait for me to get to it.

i think it will not be a problem
i could add a2webd files to contrib folder
of course if such a possibility exists on github
project pages would remained as info and help

here before make extension remained to make some fixes
first, i mistakenly changed places for user and password

uri = [http://][[password:]user@]server[:port]/path-to/a2web.cgi

and maybe can you advise me
how i can determine command line mode when x is running?

and it seems to me that if i fix this
then it will be last that i would make

[curaga]

how i can determine command line mode when x is running?

Please elaborate? I don't understand the question here.

[AbNoRMiS]

sorry
i use pgrep X for determine that x server is running
in order to choose what kind of browser should run
which works under x server or in command line
but if i switch to cmdline by ctrl+alt+f{n} when x works
then how i can determine that need run cli browser?

[curaga]

The output of "tty" should be useful. Under X it's *pty*, under a real terminal *tty*.
