Trash days on Monday suck.
I constantly forget to take out the trash on Saturday when there is a holiday on Monday. I dusted off the old trash-day-php script and installed it.
Installation is pretty simple.
Edit the script with the values you want.
place it in /etc/cron.daily/trash-day-php
chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/trash-day-php
cron doesn’t like . in filenames. Thats why I named the file trash-day-php not trash-day.php.
To test your email just run /etc/cron.daily/trash-day-php –test

Every once in a while my machine runs stuff in the background, like backups, db dumps and whatnot. This obviously causes performance issues at times, but among other things I don’t want to shutdown during these processes.
So I created a simple status icon to warn me if one of those processes were executing so I wouldn’t shutdown the machine, and it also will disable hibernate/suspend.
I figure I’d share it with the world.
