Bash: Getting standard program for file type -

-

A web radio station has a background shell script to open the .m3u file. So I want to know inside the script, what is the user's program to open such files. At present, they have to set the environment variable $ player, but obviously this is not a good way.

Optional: Is there a command that takes the file name and searches itself for the appropriate program to handle that file? Such as file , for example, 

  open-file my_playlist.m3u

the script should be portable, at least Run on Ubuntu, Debian and Windows / Signin machines.

Cheers,

This should be done differently on each platform In OS X, the "Open" command will do what you want.

This is messed up in Linux, because the desktop environment (gnome or kde) keeps its list of applications to run for each file type

There are two files that you have to do with Ubuntu / Gene that holds this information: ~ / .local / share / applications / defaults.list and ~ / .local / share / applications / mimeinfo.cache <

Hope someone else That's how to do this in Windows and there might be chimes in it.

Edit: Steal from other answers:

SIGNVIN:

After selecting the copies of the buffer in Linux, after the text, we can click and paste the button between the mouse. I think there is a special buffer for this, I want to use it. Programming Language: C ++ Your Library: Qt Thanks. There is just one more correct answer than Paul Dixon, which answers your needs: / P > QClipboard * clipboard = QApplication :: clipboard (); CastString Selected Text = Clipboard-> Text (QClipboard :: Selection);

What is expire header and how to achive them in ASP.NET and PHP? -

I have examined the performance statistics of my website today. I have received a warning (or error may occur) that is given below Add Terminal Headers Here are 15 static components without a 15-futures end date * (no end) Http://www.example.com/video/css/global.css * (no time limit) http://www.example.com/video/js/global.js * (no expiration ) Http: //www.example.com/video/images/main-bg.png what it means and how to achieve it both in PHP and ASP.Net. I am on a shared hosting server, so please tell me some ways to use the code, because I can not make any modifications at the end of the server. If I expire the header, then there is no chance that if I make changes to the CSS, then the user will not be able to remove them immediately because CSS and other files have a fixed time limit (1 month, week ) Are cached for. Is Is there any harm to using PHP? $ time = time () + 3 * 24 * 60 * 60; // 3 day headings ('End:'. GMDAT ('D, D MYH: i: s \ g \ m \ t',

sql server - How can I determine which of my SQL 2005 statistics are unused? -

-
After a few years, one of my biggest databases has deposited 73 figures out of its largest tables. With Indexes, I can run many types of reports and queries, how often / heavily specific indexes are used. What is an equivalent for data? We are running SQL 2005. To make statistics automatically managed and honest, I would like to "update statistics", "create statistics" and There is no information about any management except "drop statistics" orders. In theory, UPDATE should handle the addition and removal of statistical data. In addition, I've never heard about the amount of storage or storage taking in large amounts, so I'm not sure whether there is any reason for the alarm or not. If you are seeing a potential problem, then I would suggest running an update before, if it does not clean it, it is leaving and then it appears to be safe operation (because it is the only query optimizer Is for). I will not leave "left" in the
