Ntc's questions

I am trying to login into this page but I cannot for the life of me get it to work. I have to login to this site when i connect to my school's wifi in order to start a session.

So far ive tried to use bash and cUrl to achieve this but have only achieved to give myself a headache. will cUrl work or am I on the wrong track? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

N

Here's what i tried:

curl --cookie-jar cjar --output /dev/null http://campus.fsu.edu/webapps/login/

curl --cookie cjar --cookie-jar cjar \
    --data 'username=foo' \
    --data 'password=bar' \
    --data 'service=http://campus.fsu.edu/webapps/login/' \
    --data 'loginurl=http://campus.fsu.edu/webapps/login/bb_bb60/logincas.jsp' \
    --location \
    --output ~/loginresult.html \
        http://campus.fsu.edu/webapps/login/

In order avoid typing out all of the apt-get commands when updating my computer I have made a simple alias command to do it. But I really want to be able to just type in my alias and let it do its thing and not have to wait to for the yes/no prompt to type in "y". Is there a simple way to bypass this prompt or maybe add "yes" in the alias somewhere?

So I have been using mplayer to stream my music through SSH from my laptop to my Ubuntu box using:

ssh user@ip-address "cat /Some/Random/Directory/*mp3" | mplayer -

I was just wondering if there is a better way of doing this because currently I cannot skip through songs and such.

Does anyone know of a better way or a better program to stream music other than mplayer? Or perhaps some suggestion about the mplayer configuration?
