Programming :: Perl About System Command / Fails If The Standard Shell Is Dash And Not Bash?
Jun 30, 2011I am trying to fix a perl script, and I really suck at perl. But I think this problem will be easy for people who know it.
The problem is, I have an old setup script someone wrote many years ago. It fails if the standard shell is dash and not bash. The only way I've gotten it to work is to point /bin/sh to bash. I looked thru the script and it uses "system" many places, and I think that's the problem.
I searched for it and found this link:url
My plan is to include this function:
Code:
sub system_bash {
my @args = ( "bash", "-c", shift );
system(@args);
}
Then I could simply change all calls to system into system_bash and it should work?
The parameter to the system calls is usually some variable. What if the parameter is a list already? Do I need to test for it somehow, and if it's a list, prepend "bash" and "-c" to the list? How do I do that?
In the script there are lots of places like this:
my $error = system($cmd);
if ($error) {
die/warn "some error message";
}
Shouldn't there be a return in the system_bash function?

Software :: Run What Windows Users Typically Call A Clipboard As A Network Service On My Small LAN / Clipboard / Notepad?
Mar 18, 2011I'd like to have a Linux machine run what Windows users typically call a clipboard as a network service on my small LAN (about 10 machines). More specifically I am looking to have Linux run the clipboard service centrally in the LAN with both Windows and *nix machines able to connect to it as opposed to the peer-to-peer sync model that I am seeing in almost all of the applications I've discovered thus far.

General :: Perform Action When Clipboard Contents Match Regex?
May 20, 2011I use the Actions feature of KDE's Klipper utility to run certain commands when I copy something into the clipboard that matches a particular regular expression. Unfortunately, I have to turn on Enable Clipboard Actions and select the command from a menu every time I copy something that I want to run the command on. I'd like to have that command run automatically instead.
You'd think this was possible, as there is an automatic checkbox in the action settings dialog box:
Unfortunately, that appears to do nothing. The documentation included with Klipper does not indicate what that checkbox is supposed to do.
Is it possible to configure Klipper to run a command automatically if the contents of the clipboard matches a regular expression? If not, is there another way to accomplish this?

Ubuntu :: ESC Character In Dash Shell
Oct 21, 2010when I try to enter an escape sequence in the interactive mode of dash, it keeps on spewing out the <ESC> character as ^[ displayed in plain text instead of catching it as a control character. I vaguely remember encountering this on some UNIX shell but for the life of me I can't find anything on it. So how do I properly enter escape sequences in dash's interactive mode? (it supposedly supports vi line edit mode but I can't access it at all because of the ESC situation)It's not a make-or-break thing.

Ubuntu :: Remove A Shortcut From Dash?
Sep 1, 2011I have Ubuntu 11.04, upgraded from 10.10, and I'm logging into the default Ubuntu, Unity. In Dash, if I search for "firefox", I get three results:
Firefox Web Browser
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)
Clicking Firefox Web Browser brings up Firefox just fine. But both Mozilla Firefoxes do nothing. I have a feeling that they're left over from Wine, but I'm not sure. The Uninstall Wine Software program doesn't show Firefox, but I may have uninstalled it through there a long time ago.
I want to remove these shortcuts from Dash. I tried checking the Main Menu program, but Mozilla Firefox isn't in there (though Firefox Web Browser is). I looked in /usr/share/menu/, and found a file called "firefox". That file specifies a title of "Firefox Browser", so I'm not sure if it even applies. The command it gives, "/usr/bin/firefox", is good, anyway. I don't see any other firefox related file there.
So, does anyone know how I remove those shortcuts from Dash?
