I have a user that has been used for long time now that runs o C Shell... now there is a need to change it to Bash Shell? Can I cause a problem changing his shell from C to bash? I mean apps or variables?
Is there some type of functional way to read things in the Python shell interpreter similar to less or more in the bash (and other) command line shells?
Example:
Code:
>>> import subprocess >>> help(subprocess) ... [pages of stuff to read] ...
I'm hoping so as I hate scrolling and love how less works with simple keystrokes for page-up/page-down/searching etc.
I need to find TCSH shell and gzip version number by running a acript on several boxes through ssh. How can i do that? I made a script for tcsh but it is not working by ssh , it only works on my box . I dont know from where to find the gzip version info.
Where do I look to change the calendar preference in Gnome Shell from Evolution to Osmo? I have uninstalled Evolution and installed Osmo. I have looked in all of the settings available in System Settings, Tweak Advanced Settings, Alacarte, and Configuration Editor (gconf-editor), but I am obviously overlooking something.
Is it safe to delete all references to evolution when I find them in gconf-editor? I assume I would have to do that as root since it does not seem like trying to do so as a regular user works.
What I want to do is when I click on the date/time on the top bar and select "Open Calendar", Osmo will open. Right now I just get a message: "Execution of 'evolution' failed: command not found." Of course it would fail since I removed evolution. However, I can't seem to find out where to change it to look for Osmo instead.
I was giving the found the following shell script. I was told it was suppose to ensure only that only one script of Test.sh can run..
However, I get it looks like it has a error when i run it... As i get Test.sh: line 9: kill: (20831) - No such process
what is going on in this script can someone explain it to me... I thought it suppose to work like a singleton for my script creating a file .run-test-sdolan. However, i don't see how or where .run-test-sdolan is create?
sdolan@staging:$ vi Test.sh #!/bin/sh MYDIR=`dirname $0` CONFDIR=$HOME/ code....
how come I can create a shell script file with two functions, I can execute the file, but when running declare -f, the functions are not on memory, and when invoking the function bash returns invalid. In the other hand, I can copy & paste the two functions at the end of my /etc/bashrc file.... then I can called the function by name.... and the commands within that function run on my session. here is a print of all my bash packets:
[Code]....
Does Fedora has restrictions on shell scripting? I haven't touch bash in seven years, so if things have change on it I'm behind on it, and sorry for my ignorance.
how to enable the Gnome Shell with an AMD 6950 graphics card and the default Fedora 15 drivers? I may try the AMD Catalyst proprietary drivers but from history those usually lag behind the Fedora versions. I also read some people had issues with the current AMD Catalyst drivers in the Catalyst guide thread.
Also, the AMD 6950 graphics card fan is at full speed all the time in Fedora 15. I do believe you can with the Catalyst drivers using aticonfig but was wondering about the default Fedora 15 drivers?
I changed the resolution in Gnome to something that my monitor cannot recognize. However, I can get into the shell, and am wondering if their is a way to change the Gnome resolution via the shell commands.

I am using ubuntu10.04-server 64bit AMD with fluxbox. After I ran Matlab in a shell (without GUI) the shell does not display characters anymore, but will execute any command, I just can't see the characters that I'm typing.. I use aterm and xterm, does anybody know why that is, am I missing a package?
Is there any way I can switch my desktop shell from unity to, say, gnome-shell? I can switch using other console shell I like (bash, csh, fish, etc.). Assume that there is a stable alternative desktop shell, I should be able to choose, too.
(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)
I am trying to create a shell script similar to ls, but which only lists directories. I have the first half working (no argument version), but trying to make it accept an argument, I am failing. My logic is sound I think, but I'm missing something on the syntax.
Code: if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then d=`pwd` for i in * ; do if test -d $d/$i ; then echo "$i:" code....
Is anyone else seeing the default icon in GNOME Shell instead of the usual Firefox icon? I am talking about the default icon that looks like a purple diamond.
I used c-shell previously in unix. One of the useful command I used frequently is foreach.> foreach a (`cat list`)>> echo $a need to use bash shell now instead, and realized that I can't use foreach anymore. The command is not found. Does anyone knows if there is similar command / function in bash shell?
I use ":!shell_command<enter>" OR ":sh<enter>" in gvim to execute shell commands or to get a shell. But I am getting an 'sh' shell. Is there a way to get the 'bash' or 'csh' shell from within gvim?
I am looking for three scripts (using bash as shell): to print out a list only with directories (no files) that they are found in running directory (no in subdirectories) to print out a list only with files (no directories) that they are bigger than 10Kb and are found in running directory (and in subdirectories) to print in the screen the lines of file with accidental order.
I just needed some help with running the bash shell. I think I might have accidentally corrupted a file when I was looking through the /bin dir. Anyways, whenever I login to my server via SSH I get the following output:
1. am required to create a bash-shell script called terminator that terminates all processes of a name given to the shell script as an argument. Make sure the terminator shell script will not take any crucial file system services as arguments.
2. Show how you would configure an Ethernet card by reapplying your existing IP and network mask
3. Install a workable nfs file sharing system between your system and a remote system, using optimum values for resize and wsize.To demonstrate send a 512Mb block of random data between client and server using the dd command.Write down the relevant steps and procedures
i've finally got a NIX environment...yipee! Installed opensuse 11.2 in a dual boot with windoze with no problem whatsoever. unfortunately, my NIX skills are sadly dated or maybe things have changed or both. in any case, i have a rather trivial problem that i have not been able to figure out.
i go to gnome terminal to get to the bash shell, no problem except when i do things like cat, less and so on. the commands do what they do then when done the last line output is "some text" and "(END)" - at the completion of the command it does not return to the bash shell. i've tried ctrl-everything, enter, escape, actually all keystrokes i can think of to get back to the bash shell...no luck. man and docs have not been helpful or i simply missed the answer (i'm a little saturated at this point).the only thing i've been able to do to solve my dilema is close the terminal an start a new instance, not elegant but works.
I changed the default SUSE prompt setting by modifying the shell variable PS1 to display the following information:
u : the username of the current user h : the hostname up to the first '.' w : the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde
I used export command to setup a new shell prompt:
export PS1="[u@h: w]$ " To add colors to the shell prompt and make a regular user prompt blue I used the following command syntax:export PS1="e[0;34m[u@h: w]$ e[m "
