I just submitted iLog v0.9b1 to the purdue archives.
What it is:
iLog will source one's .cshrc, .login, and/or .ilogspace (an auxillary
file that I made up) whenever iLog is executed (you can select which
files via some preference buttons).
Obvious uses:
stick it on the dock and have it set so that your .cshrc and .login get
auto-execed whenever you login to the machine (whether or not terminal
is started). From those files (and .ilogspace), you can do Many Useful
Things:
- shrink the NeXT icon to a Very Small And Unobtrusive Size
- put Useful Information into your .plan file
- do those things that you can only really do from a csh.
Caveats:
- the source is included, but is ugly. it is a hack.
- there are bugs-- mainly due to me not checking for erroneous conditions
such as files not existing.
Future:
- turn the bloody printer off automatically. I know how to do this now, but
if the printer is off, it turns it on and then turns it off -- obviously
unacceptable....
- add error checking (like checking to see if .ilogspace exists before
attempting to execute it).
Please send me any suggestions, bugs, etc...
BTW: Ignore the picture in the info-panel, I have shaved my head since that
was taken and haven't had a chance to get a new picture digitized yet.
