09:41.24j0nrdoes anyone know if it is possible to find out what command-line command avidemux uses when you have set up all the options you want to execute?
09:41.32j0nri.e. I convert a video file with certain options and filters in avidemux... it would be nice to know the commands avidemux is using to achieve all of that, so I can use it in a script.
09:42.38antiphaseset -x ?
09:45.27j0nrantiphase: ? me?
09:45.45antiphaseI don't see anyone else, so I must be talking to you
09:45.52antiphase</eastwood>
09:46.56j0nrheh, so what is -x?
09:48.49Leedsset -x puts a shell into debug/trace mode, where all commands are echoed out
09:48.54Leedsor logged, etc.

13:24.20dick_turpinSo a kind person or a fool one of the two has been teaching me MySQL via IRC
13:24.38dick_turpinHe asked me to send him a dump of the db

13:25.48dick_turpinso I do mysqldump > /home/sales/db.txt

13:29.47bilarhdick_turpin: when people see you enter a lift, do they feign that they've forgotten their wallet at the desk and run off?
13:29.51dick_turpinOMG you are depressed! Even laughing at me has no effect
13:30.24bilarhhehe
13:30.44wethrindick_turpin: what, you don't have shared home directories?
13:32.09dick_turpinwethrin: Its a CentOS box I have hidden in the workshop, yes hidden is the right word I doubt anyone monitors what's on our network
13:32.52dick_turpinI'm ssh'ng from an ubuntu machine
14:03.36dick_turpinwethrin: Got great one for you, well it made me facepalm TBH

14:04.48dick_turpinColleague showed me a quote for maintenance/support for one of our customers from a competitor
14:05.44dick_turpinIt said the usual stuff but one bit was "We will check your systems every 15 minutes and notify you of any potential problems"
14:05.57wethrinmmhm
14:06.15dick_turpinEngineer said "We can do that with SBS its free"
14:06.22dick_turpin"What?"
14:07.28dick_turpin"I think you'll find they are using something like Nagios" (Which I had to eplain to him what it was)
14:07.48dick_turpinEngineer "Na this is free"
14:08.00dick_turpin"What is it?"
14:08.31dick_turpinEngineer "It emails me if there is a problem, stuff that constant monitoring lark"
14:08.37dick_turpinfacepalm
14:10.26dick_turpinThe end
14:11.12wethrinehr.
14:11.13wethrinow
14:20.07bilarhwhere do you find these guys? :D
14:20.12dick_turpinThere is a side thought to that of course, how the hell will the Server email him if it falls over? Or am I being too clever with that thought? #sarcasm
14:20.51wethrinwho monitors the monitoring server?
14:21.49Armanda monitor..
14:21.53ArmandDuh!
14:22.00Armand:P
14:22.07dick_turpinwethrin: Mate its just a crappy SBS service, if the server dies thats it game over till the customer rings up "Hello none of us can get on the O: drive"
14:22.19wethrinSBS = Small Business System?
