Shell Script: Opera Auto Backup

I’m using Opera 9.5 on my machine with Zenwalk Linux for the operating system. Sometimes an error is occuring on Zenwalk when I compiling source code etc and I have to force shutdown my machine. If it happens when Opera is performing connection to mail server or checking for RSS updates, big chance that there will be a crash and destroy all my mail account and RSS feeds.

So I wrote a simple shell script to perform backup Opera’s files everytime I start my machine. I save this file as opera-backup.sh.

#!/bin/sh
SOURCE="/home/sandal/.opera"
TARGET="/home/sandal/.backup"
FILE=`date +%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M`
tar cfzP $TARGET/$FILE.tgz $SOURCE;

Then I add this shell script into Autostarted Applications (XFCE Menu – Settings – Autostarted Applications) so everytime I start my machine it will backup my Opera files. Whenever Opera crashes again, I can simply restore it from backup.

And by the way, Opera has released Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta, currently for Windows Mobile version.

I got a new mate!

It's a new Sony Ericsson M600i. The phone I dream of, one year ago and finally I can have it a few days ago. It came with Opera 8.6 for Symbian UIQ but not too handy for me. After I installed Opera Mini, it became the best mobile device I ever had! :yes:

Now I can't go without mGooi, the name I gave to this phone. :wizard:

One thing I don't realy like is the 64mb memory stick. It's too small and upgrading to the bigger one is rather exepensive. So I only put some jazz songs there, to kill a time when I'm alone.

Does anyone have any site references where I can get themes, applications and else for my new m600i?

Have a great Monday, everyone! :cheers:

One in a million

Hey, I got 999.999 companies in this community, right? :yes:
I'm one in a million.. Wow, like a song ha.ha.

Now I have a wish..
I hope Opera could give me an Opera shirt, or even underwear with Opera logo on it! :heart:

Dear Jon, can you make my wish come true? 😀
