Debian :: Run GUI Commands From Shell?
May 22, 2011
The panel plugin from xfce4-mixer has a bug:s icon doesn't update as the volume is changed. This bug has already been reported.One curious thing about it is that, if you right click on the volume icon on the panel, go to 'Settings' (or 'Properties', I don't know, mine is in Portuguese) and then close the window that pops on the screen, the icon is updated.Is it possible to open and close the settings window automatically with a bash script? Like this, I could associate this script with the volume keys of my keyboard, so that the icon is updated as the the volume is changed.

Programs like matlab/octave and I'm sure many other ones allow you to start typing a command, and then hit Up to recall the last command that starts with the typed characters. Common linux shell bash doesnot do this. Is there a different shell that does? I'm not asking how to find out the last command, I'm asking if there's a shell that's a little friendlier.

I want to copy a file (home/remote_computer_user/Desktop/test1.txt) from my remote office computer (a permanent URL + open port) to my home computer (home/home_computer_user/Downloads/).
How can I do this with shell commands in Linux?
My current thoughts:
ssh <user>@<computer1address> -p <port> - gives me a shell on the remote computer
(I think I should use scp, but I dont how exactly how in my case)
What are the exact commands I should use?

Ok, so I have a few web apps that need to run shell commands. Heres a great example of one:
Code:
This is a PHP script getting my system volume. Herein lies the problem... www-data doesn't have permission to do this!
I changed my apache config to use MY account as the web user, and it does in fact work the way I want it to.
Obviously, I dont want to leave apache running as me, and want it to keep using www-data.... heres my question... how can I give permission for www-data to execute certain programs?

I have a command which on the command line needs to look like this
rlam -if3 '!pvalue -H image1.jpg' > image2.jpg
Nevermind what rlam or pvalue do ... they are part of a program package I am using. The above command works on the command line, and also when written verbatim in a bash shell script.
My problem is: in the script I wish to replace image1.jpg with the content of a variable, e.g.
IM1=image1.jpg
How to I get the script to insert the value of $IM into the command when the pvalue part of it needs to be quoted?

I am trying to write a script that connects to a server and executes some commands on there. Something like this:
#!/bin/sh
telnet remote_machine
cd /home/some_directory
cat a_file_in_current_directory
Unfortunately after login/password I guess the script doesn't jump past the telnet command, until I exit. What do I need to do to make the script start executing commands in the remote shell?

I have a few questions regarding HTML, UNIX and Javascript. I've been tasked with creating a fairly simple webpage that takes a few inputs. Each input must correspond to an argument in a UNIX command running on a server.On a UNIX server we have a script (.ksh) that takes 3 arguments. The result of the script is a data file which is FTP'ed to an external server. Let's forget about the FTP portion for now. I would like to know where I should begin.What I know so far:
1) I will need HTML to create the webpage. Skill level is high
2) I will need Javascript to make my webpage more interactive. Skill level is high.
3) I will need to understand the UNIX environment. Skill level is high.

I upgraded from Slackware 64 13.1 to Slackware 64 13.37 a week or so ago. I am now having a perceptible delay of a few seconds when launching commands from the command line, say for example: screen -R.
My laptop is an X200 with 3GB of RAM.

Is there an easy way to prevent the logging of commands run into syslog as post-shell expansion?
I.e log a command of "ls *.log" as just that, rather than "ls a.log b.log c.log d.log" It makes rather a mess of the log files.

I am new to Minix. I'm so impressed by the speed of the system. It looks elegant, I like it. However, I have a question about the shell. In Linux, while using a shell, up and down arrow keys can be used to navigate through previously executed commands. On Minix with the sh shell, I can only get numbers printed out on the screen. I remember I chose a US-std keyboard when installing. Is there any way to use the arrow keys to navigate through previous commands on Minix?

Note: I have made a thread similar to this before, but the title/contents were too botched to repair.I know that using C-r you can search for past bash commands containing a particular string, but how would you search for past bash commands matching a particular regular expressionIs there a keyboard shortcut for that or do you have to use a shell command?

I need to process billions of small files using bash shell commands with limited memory size (256MB). If any of those files contain certain "keywords", the file will be removed. I tried with command:
find . -type f -exec grep -i -l -H "keyword" '{}' + | xargs rm -rf
where all files are located within the current directory. But the command above failed in "out of memory".

I started another thread about this to get help booting into openSUSE after Fedora rewrote my bootloader and deleted all other entries. I managed to fix it but I never did find out why the following commands caused my system to boot to the grub shell instead of the grub menu.
Code:
grub
root (hd0,3)
setup (hd0)
quit
reboot
Can anyone explain to me why these commands caused my system to boot directly to a grub shell? It's as if there were no /boot/grub/menu.lst files for it to use, but after I got everything back to normal, the files were still there.
If it helps, this is how the drive was setup before and now, except Fedora was on /dev/sda4 and has since been deleted.
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 262 2104483+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda2 263 13316 104856255 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 * 13317 14621 10482412+ 83 Linux

How can one have commands in cron? I do not know much but do know that there is something called cron. I read the manpage[quote=Cron Debian Man page]cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)[/quote] and it says to make files in /var/spool/cron/crontabsWhile I went to /var/spool/cron/crontabs I did not find anything there. I just want to tell cron that it runs $sudo aptitude autoclean at some time in the background. Is this possible? If yes, then how ?

I'm messing around with a new install of Debian 8, trying to get a sandbox of Oracle DB 12c up and running in an ESXi environment.
open-vm-tools was giving me troubles (resizing the window didn't make the resolution change), and Oracle DB was fighting me with environmental variables.
Well, while I was troubleshooting the Oracle issue, I needed to reboot. When it came back up, I couldn't log in. When I attempt to log in using known working credentials, the screen goes black like it should, and then loads the login screen again.
I SSH into the box and try to run commands, but every single command I run returns "Command not found" including "ls" "su" "cd".
I'm able to boot into recovery mode, where the commands work under root, but I'm not sure what to fix....

Two nights ago I was trying to diagnose what was wrong with my internet connection. I couldn't get web pages to load, IRC and ssh weren't connecting, and email wasn't downloading (I still use POP3). I didn't know what to use to check my internet connection. I did a ping, but I didn't know how to interpret the results. So without the internet, I was totally blind.
Are there documents anywhere which install with Debian which I can search offline when my internet connection dies?

last time i used debian it was missing some commands that were necessary for the stuff i was trying to install on itdebian has no software repositories (not as extensive as ubuntu but i guess thats why its so user friendly) and finding depencancies that are up to date is really hard seeing as though that the ubuntu site says is out of dateone of the commands that i really wished was on there was the MAKE commands like make
make installnd i guess there are other make commands but is there an easy way (i am more than willing to try it the hard way if i have to)

I use two separate systems both running Debian 8. On one (my main) I can't do some commands including ping, shutdown and reboot without running them as root user, however on my other system I can ping and reboot as a non-privileged user. The permissions on both systems are the same for /bin/ping and /sbin/systemctl (reboot). I thought at first it was something to do with what groups my main was in, but that doesn't seem to be the gase.
I know I can fix it by setting setuid for both, but my question is why is it different on both machines? Is there a global setting controlling this in /etc or perhaps an icmp setting?
