View 4 Replies View Relatedwhen I use e. g. cat file.txt | grep --color=tty "pattern" I get the pattern I search highlighted. When I want some more context around each hit, grep has the -A, -B and -C parameters. However, I want to display the whole file (or whatever command output) and highlight a certain pattern. Does such a highlight command or tool exist?

On the console I can switch the ttys and enter my login credentials. After that I see the GNU/Debian Linux welcome message an no prompt. The system seems to hang. I'm able to switch the tty again and login with the same result. (I tried that three times now and I start running out of ttys.) A search on the Internet suggested some ressoucre shortage. How could I release some resoucres than? How could I further investigate the situation before just trying a hard power off?
I'm brand new to ubuntu and very green when it comes to Linux in general.I have recently installed Ubuntu Desktop version 10.10 for my media pc (a friend of mine showed me xbmc, awesome!). I modified my install so that I don't have to enter a password when turning it on.The problem seems to be that when I did the install I chose to encrypt my home directory. Now, since I don't enter a password, the machine spews a few errors and does nothing. I finally got it to boot to a console window however I don't know how to undo what I did from the gui.I'm basically trying to get to System > Admin > Login Window > Security without the gui and "check the box" to require a password on login.Any clue as to which config file this setting is stored in?
View 5 Replies View RelatedNow, I have one script called "defcon" defcon gets the current DEFCON level and outputs it using echo.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
DEFCON=`curl -s http://members.tripod.com/~Swat_25/defcon.html | sed -n '/^$/!{s/<[^>]*>//g;p;}' | sed '/^$/d' | grep '[12345]$'`
echo "The current DEFCON level is $DEFCON"
The second script ("tweet") updates my twitter account.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
curl -s -u USER:PASS -d status="$@" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml > /dev/null
What I want to do is be able to update my twitter account with the current defcon status (this is really more of a learning thing than something I actually want to be doing). The original script for tweet replaced $@ with $1, but if I use:
tweet `defcon`
it only uses the first word in the string, similarly if I used $2 or $3.So I changed it to $@. The normal function still works, but typing:
tweet `defcon`
updates twitter with nothing.
EDIT I should mention the /dev/null is there to catch the output of curl, otherwise it won't run silently. It still updates twitter normally with the send to /dev/null
I would like to compare the (screen) output of one bash script with the (screen) output of another bash script to ensure the output is exactly the same.The reason for this is that I am receiving a consolidated data feed from an IP address and have moved some of the data feed to a 'new' source IP address. I will turn off the feed from the original once satisfied that the new is receiving the same data. The format of the output from the scripts are exactly the same.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble with a bash script. I have something like this:export VAR=`command`The problem is that "command" can return this: "** NONE **". bash will then replace each of the * by the list of files in the current directory.I want the output to be uninterpreted (i.e. VAR should contain "** NONE **", not "list of files list of files NONE list of files list of files"). It shouldn't be hard but I am unable to figure it out, and I'm not sure how to phrase the problem,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a need to start an application on bootup on the linux console and I do not have a need for any type of login or security. I do not need any ALT-F1,F2,etc virtual consoles but I would like to allow SSH access via the network port for debugging, loading, etc.
The application is a SDL graphics program running with fbcon as the SDL_VIDEODRIVER if that matters. I'm currently using Fedora 10 and 12 but any distro that supports SDL using the fbcon framebuffer would be acceptable.
I know how to redirect the output of a terminal to a file. For example, if I want to list all the files in ~/Documents and output to a file called test.txt, I would do this: ls ~/Documents > test.txt The question is, can I copy the output to test.txt AFTER I have carried out the command? This would mean that I wouldn't have to know in advance whether I want to copy the output to file. I want to do something like this: ls ~/Documents Then this: <bash command for copying standard output to test.txt>
