Dropbox on #!

I run CB Statler A2 on my Eee 900. It's got Dropbox preinstalled. I just choose start dropbox in the openbox menu. It has worked flawless so far!

see signature and I also use Dropbox for collaboration at school,works great I must say

I've got Dropbox on this 9.04 desktop and a Statler α2 laptop. Symlinks in the ~/Dropbox folder point to folders like ~/scripts or ~/documents. Works perfectly except that when scripts are updated from the other box they lose their executability, so you have to put it back manually. (Security-wise that might not be so terrible.) Otherwise great.

------------------------------------------
Little script to check out your /~scripts, or other, folder and ask with zenity if you want to restore executability. Maybe run it in autostart.sh with a couple of minutes delay:

#!/bin/bash
# check if files in a directory ($1, or default ~/scripts) are executable

editor=leafpad  # leafpad's quick

path="${1:-$HOME/scripts}" # use ~/scripts if no argument is given
path="${path%/}"    # remove any final slash
[ -d "$path" ] || { echo "$0: $path is not a directory" >&2; exit 1; }

for i in "$path"/*
do
    [[ -x $i ]] && continue
    $editor "$i" & edpid=$!
    sleep 1    # wait for editor to open so zenity is on top
    zenity --question --text="file $i is not executable.
Make it executable?" && chmod +x "$i"
    kill $edpid
done
exit 0

To be honest, the N900 can be pain in the ass... But I still love the phone! =o)
