I have my Ubuntu installed in Virtual Box. The very first thing that I needed to do was to setup my Ubuntu to recognize Windows drives. I setup two bash scripts to run at startup and shutdown. The following is what I have done.
anu@sw:/etc/init.d$ sudo vi vboxStartup
#!/bin/bash # Mount the Win virtual drives - MyDocument, CShared, PidginWin sudo mount -t vboxsf MyDocuments /mnt/MyDocuments sudo mount -t vboxsf CShared /mnt/CShared sudo mount -t vboxsf PidginWin /mnt/PidginWin # Sync the files from PidginWin/logs to purple/logs sudo rsync -azv /mnt/PidginWin/logs/ /home/anu/.purple/logs/
anu@sw:/etc/init.d$ sudo chmod +x vboxStartup anu@sw:/etc/init.d$ sudo update-rc.d vboxStartup defaults
This way my ubuntu pidgin logs are in sync with my windows pidgin logs. Next, I also wanted my Windows pidgin logs to get sync with the Ubuntu pidgin logs whenever I log off. So I create yet another script
anu@sw:/etc/init.d$ sudo vi vboxShutdown
#!/bin/bash echo "Anuvrat Shutdown Script -- vbox" # Resync files from purple/logs/ to PidginWin/logs/ sudo rsync -azv /home/anu/.purple/logs/ /mnt/PidginWin/logs/
anu@sw:/etc/init.d$ sudo chmod +x vboxShutdown anu@sw:/etc/init.d$ sudo update-rc.d vboxShutdown start 80 0 6 .
The funny thing though is that I haven’t yet tested it. I hope it works.
Oh crap! It did not run at startup. Need to check.
