then
b=$(xwininfo -name Transmission | grep Window\ id:\ | awk '{print $4}')
xvkbd -xsendevent -window $b -text "\Cq"
fi


explanation and what to replace:

(ps ax | grep -v grep | grep transmission)
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ];
then

laptop make noise when watching movie on electricity

to prevent static noise appearing (after putting laptop on power supply) in your speakers do:
-put all volumes on laptop to the maximum and than regulate volume on your amplifier (some volume controls do and some don't have effect on static noise)

-at the end of your notebook electricity cord cover ground with tape

movie watching tips:
if persons watching at angle see distorted colours move laptop further away
use dimmed light to prevent accidents i.e people drinking and eating when watching movie
if you can't or don't want to watch at full volume consider using subtitles (even for hearing impaired -good to learn new languages)
consider starting movie at exact time i.e 9:00 pm like cinemas do, don not change volume during movie etc.
for more of TV style movie don't do anything above.lol
