alternate gui controller

[meter]

I got bored and wrote a GUI wrapper for lampp. This one offers control over more processes than the packaged python version and requires only zenity and bash. But it's also not as pretty and is a little stupid: it's won't tell you if something is running or not. I hope to fix the stupid part in future, but first I need to get bored again.

To use, copy the code below to a file (best place is probably /usr/local/sbin/glamp), make it executable by root, and invoke with

Code: Select all

gksudo glamp

.

file: glampp

Code: Select all

Also, I lied. This script doesn't really offer more options than the the packaged python version, but adding more stuff if you need/want it is really simple.

An even more better version, this one using gxmessage and zenity. It uses buttons and is generally more clever than the pure zenity version above. Also, it should work when called as user as well as root (no need to call it with gksudo), so you can place it in /usr/local/bin or even in /home/you/<wherever>.

I'll stop now.

Thank you!!
p. s. before running this script be sure "gxmessage" is installed on your system
