Having recovered from busting my installation, feel urgent need to know what I did to set it up.So...would like to see all commands I ran in terminal window and store them (execute as script in future?)I can see prior commands using up arrow, is there a way of storing all of those commands in history?Also, any pointers to setting up sort of backup of the package installation setup?

Recently I gained interest in running command from the terminal, like rhythmbox-client --play-pause and vlc --open, but I could not find the vlc's pause command under vlc. there's a way I can have a terminal display the commands that run when I do some action. For example, when I click on pause in vlc, the terminal should show me what command it used to pause vlc. What's the closest ting I can get to this?

If I interactively ssh to a remote host and enter commands, I can up-arrow through the command history.If a script ssh's to a remote host and calls a command, it does not get appended to the history.How can I configure ssh or sshd so that this happens? I'd like to be able to have those scripted commands available in the history file when I log back in interactively.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run some simulations through SSH from my mac on our university SOLARIS system. My problem is that whenever I want to execute a command I get an error which says "Invalid argument". Maybe I should explain more what I want to do and what I did.Firstly I installed a software which I need to run, I did it through ThinLink, and it seems that it is running fine without a problems. I can execute all commands and scripts. Installed software contains tens of small programs. I have compiled it and assign the PATH to be able to use the software. This was still via ThinLink. Then I wanted to start to use SSH since it should be more secure and also faster for me. When I wanted to do same think as in ThinLink I got the message Invalid argument. For example I run a command which use program gensky. I wrote:
Code: gray1(dava) $ gensky 4 4 4
I got:
Code: -bash: ............/Radiance_install/bin/gensky: Invalid argument (i replaced the path to my home directory by dots) The PATH to the program seams correct but it does not run correctly. With SSH I can log into the remote machine and see all the files which I have on the disk as well as to run standard commands like mkdir etc. But I cannot run the programs which I installed.
I've got an F10 install on an old IBM machine. I am trying to repartition the hard-drive, but all my fdisk commands in terminal give me errors. I made a DOS boot floppy on another machine so I could do it that way, but when I try to go from A: to C: the computer says I have no hard drive installed.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI used Ubuntu for three years and was recently trying Debian and am now giving Fedora a try. When I switched to Linux I was almost computer illiterate. Even now I only know a little about using the terminal. So forgive me for asking such a simple question.I want to install some extra founts that I need, but Fedora is a little different than the systems I am familiar with. I quickly looked through posts in this forum and noticed solutions using long series of terminal commands. With Debian and Ubuntu I added founts by using a nautilus command to get by the permissions (specifically, gksu nautilus). Does Fedora have a similar tool, or must I use the terminal? I want to install quite few founts and do not want to spend a whole day doing it. If terminal is the best solution, I need a little clarification. I saw people using su in their command lines. Does that refer to sudo?

terminal i open i have no history; the history is kept only in that terminal and is gone when i exit the terminal.If I count lines:as a user:
Code:
$ wc -l .bash_history
wc: .bash_history: Permission denied
[code]....
the terminal history does not save commands starting with "./"

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Fedora 13. Is there a log file in system I can view to see the list of command lines I had entered in terminal so far?

I've just installed Slackware 13.1 and am using a VESA framebuffer on a dv5-1251nr HP laptop with standard hardware.
In bash when I browse the command history using the up/down arrow keys the input line changes rather slowly.
For example, when I am on the history command
Code:
And the next command I go to is
Code:
The terminal input line deletes each character from the beginning and changes something like this:
Code:
But going the opposite direction, from
Code:
To
Code:
Is instant.
The effect does not happen with VESA turned off. I've used VESA on other computers without this problem.
I noticed a few days ago, that history feature is not working on my ubuntu 10.10 notebook edition terminal. I mean I enter a bunch of commands today and then shut down. Come back again tomorrow and turn on the machine and open the terminal, but up and down arrows won't bring any old commands that I used today.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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....
I am in the process of coverting some video files to motion jpeg (Wii) files with ffmpeg (great program by the way). 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...
