Description
waBa is an extremely simple program, you launch it, enter a Bash command, set the amount of time, hit activate, and you don't have to think about it again. This is similar to a customizable sleep timer. It can be used to shutdown a specific program, or shutdown your whole PC. Any command that you can use in bash you can use in this. Anything you would want to be done automatically after some amout of time.
Launching
To launch waBa in linux, you first have to mark the file as an executable. Just type
cd /path/to/waba/folder
then type
chmod +x waba.py
Then you can either launch the file in the terminal by typing
./waba.py
or just go to the folder of the file in your gui and double click it, then select 'Run'.
Please note you need python and pygtk installed in order to run this script. And if your having troubles look at
www.python.org and
www.pygtk.org.
Usage
Once you launch the application it's pretty straight forward, enter a command, and an amount of time, then hit Activate, the window goes away and you don't have to think about it again.
