Fluxbox Menu Generator

I wrote a simple script to generate a customizable fluxbox menu. open your favorite editor and copy & paste the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

fluxbox-generate_menu -t favorite_term -b favorite_browser -i /path/to/icons


echo "Done!"

done


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Replace the respective values and save the script in /usr/local/bin (it varies per distribution)

then do:

chmod 755 /path/to/scriptname

then run it.

any questions? comment here or email me (no spam please)

NOTE: The icon directory don't really matter. I recommend you add your favorite term and browser because it is very convenient for it to be on the fluxbox menu.

Webcam images to Flash FLV

Many Linux users have asked me how to convert webcam images to FLV and have them streamed on myspace or other massive blogs via flash player. Satya does a very good job explaining how this can be done.
