I am thoroughly confused.

I will stick with my tput script.

It fulfills my needs and is not overly complex.

When you say "install" what exactly do you mean.

I understand it as

1....

I know you are catching some zzzs, so maybe someone else can solve a mystery.

I have no Colour_test.sh.

Where did that come from?

Did so.

Something is missing in the code.

I am using mate terminal.

I found another way which is easier to use and tput is part of the ncurses package and is supplied with most Linux distributions.

This is supposed to colorize.

But it outputs this

3[0;32mFile exists.3[0m


GREEN='3[0;32m'
RED='3[0;31m'
WHITE='3[0;37m'
RESET='3[0m'...

Your cutdowns add nothing.

If it bothers you so much, I recommend not responding.

I am not perfect and neither are you.

Added fi.

if [ "$1" = "-m" ] ; then
until=`expr 60 \* $2`
until=`expr $until + $now`
sec_rem=`expr $until - $now`
echo "-m"
if [ $sec_rem -lt 1 ]; then

test.sh -s 9 /home/andy/bin/test.sh: line 95: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I feel that the syntax error is kind of vague?

#!/bin/bash
#

if [ "$#" -lt "2" ] ; then
echo "Incorrect usage ! Example:"
echo './CountDown.sh -d "Jun 10 2011 16:06"'
echo 'or'
echo './CountDown.sh -m 90'
...

I would like this to work with seconds as well.

echo "Incorrect usage ! Example:"
echo './CountDown.sh -d "Jun 10 2011 16:06"'

I forgot that it is sending date both before and after computer suspension.

I got Writeable.

I went ahead and used this which works.

echo $(date +%I:%M:%S_%D) >> /home/andy/Downloads/systemd_suspend_test_err.txt
exec 2>>...

Trying to get date into the txt file.

It says

Permission denied.

echo $(date +%I:%M:%S_%D) >> /tmp/systemd_suspend_test_err.txt
exec 2>> /tmp/systemd_suspend_test_err.txt

Thanks. Most of my files are relatively small.

Already tried that. It's in my 1st post.

I could consider other compression programs.

Tar works. Have to give zip the heave ho. :-)

tar cvf archive_name.tar *.sh On_Resume

Size is double,...

Removed the *.

No change.

Even tried it with other no extension files.

Maybe it's a conspiracy. :-)

andy@7_~/bin$ ls On*
On_host.sh On_Resume
andy@7_~/bin$ What is even stranger is that it zips up a On_Resume.sh which is not even present in the directory or anywhere else?

Update:

On_Resume...

I would like to include in my zip file a particular file name On_Resume which has no file extension.

This does not work.

zip -u Ubuntu_Documents.zip *.txt *.doc *.rtf *.html *.png *.pdf *.odt...

I thought the temp files were automatically deleted upon reboots.?
