Hi Jerry, misko and sysdrum,

I have been following your threads on the GUI Updates & System Reporting Scripts with interest.
I don't know if it's possible.??
Once they are defined "stable", would it be possible to add them into the "How To's..."
How to add:
Update GUI
System Reporting

It would be great for the folks who are either sticking on LL2.0 or not quite ready to make the move.

Just a thought...

Dave

Smart  move Jerry
What do yo think about adding the list dialog to copy the log file? Something like the list in the new system report.

Can you please give me an example? (full script code)

[Mike]

Just out of curiosity, what's the benefit of using this script vs. HardInfo?

Edit: Sorry, wrong topic. Please see this one instead: https://dfgkh547-jsdfv8.iyhkj.tk/forums/index.php?topic=1237

Almost forgot.
I've changed line 70 to x=$( stdbuf -oL /bin/bash \-c '(sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get upgrade \-y )' 2>&1 | tee /var/log/llupdates.log |

Love the scripts . Save some time  .

Dont know where to put it , please post where needed : can someone add sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get autoremove at the end of this script somehow !

Just an idea in order to cleanup LL . For what it s worth .

@altman

I believe that the Lite Cleaner handles those tasks.

~Scott

[altman]

Hey cool , tought of a combo between both of these maybe , anyhow , I can do with these . lol , forgot about Lite Cleaner , good call .

[Scott(0)]

8) No problem. I confused the two a few times myself.

[altman]

Hey cool , Saved some space just doing L Cleaner .

We can certainly do that See the first post of this thread for the Updates instructions.
