OOo Basic crash course: Creating a simple application launcher
Wed, 28 May 2008 15:00:00 GMT
In previous installments of the crash course, you've learned how to build a simple basket tool, a task manager, and even a word game. This time, let's take a look at how you can use the skills you picked up from those exercises to create a simple application launcher, which will allow you to start virtually any application without leaving the convenience of OpenOffice.org. While working on this project, you'll learn how to create and use functions, handle errors, and how to populate list boxes using records from a database table.

dupdb-admin

dupdp-admin(1)						      General Commands Manual						    dupdp-admin(1)

NAME

       dupdb-admin - Manage the duplicate database for apport-retrace.

SYNOPSIS

       dupdb-admin -f dbpath status

       dupdb-admin -f dbpath dump

       dupdb-admin -f dbpath changeid oldid newid

DESCRIPTION

       apport-retrace(1)  has the capability of checking for duplicate bugs (amonst other things). It uses an SQLite database for keeping track of
       master bugs.  dupdb-admin is a small tool to manage that database.

       The central concept in that database is a "crash signature", a string that uniquely identifies a particular crash. It  is  built  from  the
       executable path name, the signal number or exception name, and the topmost functions of the stack trace.

       The  database maps crash signatures to the 'master' crash id and thus can close duplicate crash reports with a reference to that master ID.
       It also tracks the status of crashes (open/fixed in a particular version) to be able to identify regressions.

MODES

       status Print general status of the duplicate db. For now, it only shows the time when the database was "consolidated" last, i. e. when  the
	      bug states (open/fixed) in the SQLite database where updated to the actual states in the bug tracking system.

       dump   Print a list of all database entries.

       changeid
	      Change the associated crash ID for a particular crash.

OPTIONS

       -f path, --database-file=path
	      Instead  of processing the new crash reports in /var/crash/, report a particular report in an arbitrary file location.  This is use-
	      ful for copying a crash report to a machine with internet connection and reporting it from there. This defaults to  ~./apport_dupli-
	      cates.db.
