modem reboot script for GLB-502T
by Rohit V Bhute 25 Mar '07

25 Mar '07

Got my Triband working today :-)) . Did a little googling for rebooting the modem. From 1. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect> and 2. <http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-programming-scripting/63702-can-you-…> I think this little script for rebooting a GLB-502T can be scheduled with cron. Its bound to work for other modems too; with some modifications. <script> #!/usr/bin/expect spawn telnet 192.168.1.1 expect "BusyBox on localhost login: " send "root\r" expect "Password: " send "password\r" expect "# " send "reboot\r" expect "%" send "exit\r" expect eof </script> Is surely better than timers and such.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Mumbai cyber cafe license requirement makes Microsoft OS mandatory

> The cafe owners would n't be much interested in terms like FOSS and free > software, whichwould be difficult for them to digest. Not really. It is true that they won't bother about _all_ the freedoms, but when you tell them you can freely copy the thing and distribute (for price or no price) among fellow cafe owners and oher people, they would surely be interested. After all they are already feeling the heat due ti the licensing fees isn't it. > It would be beneficial to concentrate > on cost ( free as in inexpensive or phukat in Marathi :) ) .

I am sure that in the money saved they will be able to buy > atleast one more computer. True. > correct - stick to converting the server. Nothing else will work. I am curious to know what are the M$ things users demand. I have not been to a cyber cafe for a long time, and hence have lost touch with the current state of things.

Hello fella linuxers, This is the email that have recieved from the Cyber Cafe Association President, As I am currently not in India, it would be great if a few luggers can meetup and discuss how we can move step further in a positive direction with Floss. Thanks & Regards, Mitul Limbani, Founder & CEO, Enterux Solutions, The Enterprise Linux Company (TM), www.enterux.com ----- Forwarded message from contact(a)apiap.org ----- Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 16:21:12 +0530 From: Ashish Saboo <contact(a)apiap.org> Reply-To: contact(a)apiap.org Subject: on cyber cafe os issue To: Mitul Limbani <mitul(a)enterux.com> Dear Mitul, Thanks for your concern. Yes its unfortunate that the license scheme for cyber cafe in Mumbai has been a contentious issue. The cost for license is very high so many can't afford it . so either they will go out of business or go underground. either way it is the loss of Mumbaikers who depend on Internet cafes and the enforcement department in tracking down the grey cyber cafes . It will unintentionally criminalise many. The way out may be if the cyber cafe operators are exposed alternative option in software which fits their budget. atleast they will have a choice. Here FOSS advocates to have a role to make others aware that they do exist. Internet Cafes can be a big partner do remember 40% of Indian netizens depend on Cyber cafe . & just less than 5% of Indians are aware of Internet. cheers & best wishes Ashish Saboo President Association of Public ICT Tools Access Provider URL : http://www.apiap.org Blog: http://apiap.blogspot.com News: http://internetcafenews.blogspot.com alt email : apiap(a)rediffmail.com ----- End forwarded message -----
