General :: Get 2+ Terminals In BASH Script?
Jan 19, 2010
I am making a bash script. I have captured user input like so. code...
But it does not work. Airodump-ng "takes over" and the script does not continue.
How do I make it so that I can make a new Terminal, or allow more commands to take place on the current one, allow the output from airodump-ng to be shown, and keep the caught user input?
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, GNOME and would like it so that anyone with a GUI Terminal, Konsole or whatever can execute the script successfully.
I'm confused...I looked up on Google and couldn't find anything! Just "Beginners guide to Bash Scripting" and "How to BASH script" but nothing relevant that answer my question!

Is there a way to "save" a layout of terminals on Ubuntu?Let's say I have 4 Terminals on a workspace that I'd like to save/restore at will, how could I do this?UPDATE:create gnome-terminal desktop entryedit the preferences and under "Title and Command" be sure to set "Keep initial title" for "When terminal commands set their own titles"use wmctrl (available on universe repo) to control windowUsing the above procedure, one can create as many desktop profiles for gnome terminals and control them by "title" using wmtrl -R $title_here.The profiles are kept under ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles.

The usual vim yank and paste works only in the same window (but does work across files and close/save commands). Is it possible to make it work across terminals (yank from window in one terminal and paste in another) and if so, how?

Every time I reboot my linux machine I have to set up 5 or 6 terminals and Im trying to find a way to do this automatically. Bind a script to a shortcut or on startup that starts several terminals (extra point if theyre tabbed) and have each terminal ssh to different servers.

How can I split an output of a command to two terminals? one will get stdout and the other will get stderr. The best I could do is:
On first terminal code...
This works ok but it prints the errors over and over again every time, is there any better way to redirect the errors to another terminal?

socat - exec:'bash -li',pty,stderr,ctty -> bash: no job control in this shell
What options should I use to get fully fledged shell as I get with ssh/sshd? I want to be able to connect the shell to everything socat can handle (SOCKS 5, UDP, OpenSSL), but also to have a nice shell which correctly interprets all keys, various Ctrl+C/Ctrl+Z, tab completion, up/down keys (with remote history).
- Found "setsid" socat option. It fixes "no job control". Now trying to fix Ctrl+D.
- socat file:`tty`,raw,echo=0 exec:'bash -li', pty, stderr, setsid, sigint, sane. Not it handles Ctrl+D/Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+C well, I can start Vim inside it, remote history is OK.

Is there a way or command to keep track all the previously run applications from all terminals that are connected to your linux machine? Something that will display the name of the application, start time, and end time of its execution?

below are the details of my system. I have bash as my current shell, some really common commands aren't working.
Do I need to do a re-installation of bash? Or how do I install a selection of bash commands which I need? (for example a subset of [URL])
Code:
root@sdptfw:~ # uname -a
Linux sdptfw.sdpt.co.za 2.4.36 #1 Tue Jul 22 13:13:24 GMT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
root@sdptfw:~ # echo $SHELL$
/bin/bash$

In my new install of F15, I can: Activities -> Applications -> Terminal to start a terminal. I am unable to start a second terminal if the first is still running. I don't have any problems creating as many terminals as I like with F10. How do I create more than one terminal in F15?

When i start my Ubuntu it doesnt go directly into xserver/desktop mode. This is because my machine is very slow. Therefor i exclusivly use the terminal. I only hate the fact that there is only one terminal and i cant switch between them. ctrl-shift-F2 doesnt work. How can i use multiple terminals before having logged into X?

i'm not at all a newbie, but this has been a mystery to me in the last 10 years, since no FAQ/tutorial/anything about UNIX CLI seems to talk about it. so what i'd like to do, is start a job (e.g. wget stuff, which takes a long time) on tty1, background it, and foreground it on tty2. or start it on my server via ssh, background it, log out, and foregroud it when i log back in. i know how to bg and fg stuff, but that only works while the shell is running.

I found out that I do not have virtual terminals on my computer (Ubuntu 9.10). When I am trying to switch, say, to tty2 with Ctr-Alt-F2, I am getting a black screen with lonely cursor blinking in the upper left corner (no login prompt). my tty2.conf file is
Code:
# tty2 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty2 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

What happens when the script executes is that the ssh connection works and parks me at the remote hosts's shell login. Therefore, the "firefox" command refuses to execute. I need to know how to make the "ssh" connection occur, stay open, and go into the background so that the rest of the script can execute.If I could also do this with the "firefox" line so that the entire term window could be closed would also be helpful.

I just installed Stretch on my laptop and I have a problem with the terminals. The system loads fine on KDE and I can use it without issues. However, when I switch to the tty terminals, they move very fast horizontally and slowly vertically as if there is some sync frequency issue. Then if I move back to KDE most of the time it works ok, while some others it starts flickering like the terminals.

Running Debian Squeeze and when I try to switch between gnome and a system terminal ctrl-alt-f1(etc) I just get a black screen. Any thoughts? I'm using the radeonhd xorg driver but don't think that should affect it.

Whenever I boot my machine into runlevel 5 (X support) I can't get to any of the virtual terminals. If I do a ps and grep for mingetty I see terminals 4-6 are running. But ctrl-alt-f{4-6} just put me to a blank screen. If I hit alt-f1 I get back to X. I've found that if I start tty2 by running "sudo mingetting tty2" I get the following error in /var/log/messages: mingetty: tty2: no controlling tty: Operation not permitted. I am not using selinux and have noticed that /etc/inittab no longer has the ttys. The reading I have done thus far says it's started by gdm but I don't really see a lot of info about controlling them. Any ideas on this?

Graphical terms and xterm start up in ~/Documents. Konsole starts at ~ (as expected). I know I'm missing something (probably long forgotten) but I can't seem to find where the Documents is coming from in the other terms. I thought xterm ALWAYS started in the user home. Is it a bash thing? I have a ~/.bashrc with

I always get messages like those below in my terminals, that obfuscate my typing.
How can I get rid of them (updated opensuse 11.2)?
I already reconfigured syslog to move PackageKit messags to a separate file (because the messages appeared in /var/log/messages too, and I hoped that was the source).
I'm ok with seeing severe error messages on the console, but not spam like PackageKit started..., stopped...

Using 10.04 on my laptop, but I can't access the virtual terminals (ctrl+alt+f1-f6). Instead I get a weird screen with apparently randomly generated lines, as they change each time I attempt to access them. (Sometimes it is just a solid color.) They also appear on shutdown/ switching user. I'm using a VIA VX800 chipset.

In a tty (the terminal you access via CTRL+ALT+(F1-F6), is there a way to change the resolution? The text is freaking huge right now and I want to lowerit a bit.
