I'm looking for a way to use "xterm -e" with multiple commands. (the -e option set the beginning program of xterm session)I have a script like this:
echo "answer? "
read answer_a
if [ $answer_a = 'y' ]

I am trying to get 2 things to operate on the same line, for example echo Current Version: [cat /file/ver.txt] is there a way to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe are using a program who connect to other server using xterm over telnet. Our programmer needs to migrate t vt100 over ssh (why... I don't know cleary, but we prefer ssh because is more secure).But we have problems with some keys. If we press F8 program use another convination of keys and we can't find the way to modificate it.
Actually we are using something like that:
Down: (byte)0x1B, (byte)0x4F, (byte)0x42
PageDown: (byte)0x1B, (byte)0x5B, (byte)0x36, (byte)0x7E
Start xpdf or gv. Click an xterm to be active and slide it over xpdf/gv. Vertical lines from xpdf/gv under the xterm stick to the xterm window above and make it unreadable.
The problem does NOT show with KDE default settings with display effects on but does show in fvwm, xfce etc, and in KDE without effects.
On a system with a Sandy Bridge integrated graphics (i5-2400) the problem went away by downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.13.0. But it was not enough for another system with 945G which needed downgrading to xf86-video-intel-2.12.0.
i have fluxbox and i need to know how to copy things in xterm and paste them outside of xterm.

I have been successful and so the majority of my work is over. My question is simple (I think) but complex to me so... here it goes. Is there a way on one command line to "batch" convert 8 or 9 files together instead of one by one. I just don't know what to put on the command line. I took one UNIX class a long time ago and the terms pipe and such come to mind... but I forget. Any takers? That was I can write what I want the computer to do in the morning and just come back after work and voila...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a application launcher (type:terminal) to replace the index.php on my apache server (/var/www/) with the index I keep updated on my desktop.
This is the exact script I'm using on the launcher:
My idea was the launcher would delete the current file at /var/www/, and then copy the file on /home/andre/Desktop.
But its not behaving properly, it is deleting both the file in my /var/www/ AND my desktop.
With xterm, I can do the following, and the scripts are executed sequentially in a single xterm: xterm -e 'script1.sh;script2.sh' But with gnome-terminal, when I do: gnome-terminal -e script1.sh;script2.sh It runs them in parallel in 2 different terminals. I've tried a few combinations of ", and ', around the scrips, but no difference.

In a script I am writing I am trying to add logic so that the script can figure out if a remote server uses rpm or dpkg and then run the appropriate command to print a list of installed packages. This works locally, but I need to get it to work through SSH and I have no idea how to do that. The relevant portion of the script is below. It would also be nice to find a way to not need the full path to the executables but I'm not real concerned about that.So anyone know how to make this code work via SSH?
Code:
if [ -x /usr/bin/dpkg ]; then
dpkg --get-selections

When I login over ssh or when I open a local text shell I can't get dircolors to show up.
If I open a shell in an X-Session the dircolors are there. Also, colors work fine over text mode and SSH, in both of them VIM works perfectly fine with my colorfull configurations.
