At Home: ssh ortiz.am@10.0.0.3 Else: ssh ortiz.am@aortizjr.dyndns.org It is blocked off so only certain places can get to it. The main process: # go to the band you want to convert cd /export/ortiz.am/Music/bandtoconvert # Make a copy of the album folder # Personally I like to put the -mp3 after it cp -r album album-mp3 # go into the directory that you just made cd album-mp3 # convert all the .ogg to mp3 ogg2mp3.pl --enc_opts --preset fast medium -- *.ogg # that will take a while # after that is done # get rid of the oggs (hence why you make a copy) rm *.ogg Screen Tutorial: Using screen is the way to go with this. The server is slow and will take a long time (approx. 30 minutes) to complete. Think of screen like a terminal window that you can bring up or put away. You can start multiple screens. > - means at your command prompt 1. Start a new screen > screen It will give you another shell. It will flash quick and probably look like nothing happended. 2. Run your command. You can run whatever to want. 3. To detach, or leave your stuff running in the back ground, do: Ctrl_a -> puts you in ctrl mode d -> exits So you do that as two steps: Ctrl_a then d To reconnect you can use the following: > screen -x -> if you only have one screen running, this will connect you to that one. > screen -list -> this shows you the list of screens ie. There are screens on: 5658.pts-1.rabbit (Detached) 5638.pts-1.rabbit (Detached) 2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-aortizjr. So you can connect to any one of them by doing: screen -x 5658 Then you will connect to that screen. 4. When your command has finished. Connect to your screen. Then just type 'exit' and it will quit that screen. Once you have detached from a screen, you can logout or do whatever, it will continue to run. If the machine reboots though, all will be lost. Also remember to quit your screens whey they are done.
