I'm looking for a way to have the access log for my nginx install scroll up the terminal as lines are added to the log. I think I need a command like cat access.log | diff but I'm not sure exactly what it should be.

So this is what i have done so far
1. Loged in to SSH Terminal

I relly need the key commands SHH Terminal for dummies
Well i downloaded a program with many .deb files ( At least 15 ) so i wanna execute them all trough the terminal so i typed
Code:
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~$ cd /home/patowlmc/Downloads/i386
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~/Downloads/i386$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Readme.deb: command not found
As you can see all files in the folder are .deb packages, but one: The Readme file, wich is a text file.
I know I just have to move the file to somewhere else, and everything should work, but i wanna know if there's a command for excluding a file or something.
P.D. I totally trust the program, so don't worry about so many .deb files.
I have a folder hierarchy with many sub-folder levels under a set of parent folders. Based on the application design and business use, files are written to different locations on a daily basis. I want to find out the last updated file in the folder structure and its location at any given time. How can I do that?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed matlab and after some poking around found that you must start it using a script like:
#>> cd ~root/../matlab2009/bin/
#>>./matlab
the manual tells me that the installation should have made it so that all you have to do is type matlab at the terminal but for some reason this hasn't happened. If you did not set up symbolic links in the installation procedure, you must enter the full path name to start MATLAB, matlabroot/bin/matlab, where matlabroot is the name of the folder in which you installed MATLAB. I've also looked at documentation on ln but most refers to making links between files. Is there a way to link the command "matlab" to the file shown above so all I have to do is type the command and it runs the script?
p.s: Here's what I've tried:
#>> ln -s ~root/../matlab2009/bin/matlab matlab
linux-2fs6:/home/alex # matlab
If 'matlab' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf matlab
I need a hand with a line of terminal commands. I need to be able to search a given .sh file in a given location for a string, and when found, add a "#" to the start of that string and save the file back to it's original location.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use webcam with the streamer application. So, to record a video I have to put in terminal something like this:
Code:
streamer -q -c /dev/video0 -f rgb24 -r 24 -t 00:30:00 -o /home/shark/untitled.avi
I know I can use other applications but I have got problems with all except with this. This is really annoying because it is a delay job. So, I am wondering how can I make a script that the terminal will ask me to name the file or even better to ask where to put my file.

is it possible to log the command output's history that are previously printed messages in the terminal to a file? that is the first command output when i first opened terminal through the last command.
View 5 Replies View RelatedBash's command history is great, especially it is useful when adding the history -a command to the COMMAND_PROMPT.However, I'm wondering if there is a way to log the commands to a file as soon as the Return key is pressed, e.g. before starting the command and not on completion of the command (using the COMMAND_PROMPT option would save the command once the prompt is there again).
I read about auditing programs like snoopy and session recorder like script but I thought they're already too complex for the simple question I have. I guess that deactivating that script logs all the output of the command would lead already in the right direction but isn't there a quicker way to solve that probelm?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got used to using the ftp command from the terminal, which is useful, especially with macros. But it requires user input, and what I want to do now is upload a specific file to a server, once I've finished working with it every day. It's the same file every day. II would like to be able to do this semi-automatically: I just give the command and it connects to the server and uploads the file. (I will probably want to encrypt the file before uploading it.)I don't know how I could use ftp without any user input: I want it to be automatic.

A little guess word with the tab key and I could move through the install process by tabbing three times after the ""help" button. As I'm writing this the machine rebooted after initial load and the screen is okay - and I can see the abort-back-next buttons now. But really, what's with that? That's just so unprofessional. Hopefully the dev team reads these forums since there isn't any easily discoverable way to communicate with them. And you don't keep the iso's updated? The BETA of Firefox 4?? Really?

cal 2013

echo "cal() { if [[ $@ > "2012" ]]; then command echo "This year won't come."; else command cal "$@"; fi; }" >> ~/.profile && source ~/.profile
