General :: Alternative To $0 In Bourne Shell?
Aug 25, 2010I am looking for an alternative to using $0 in bourne shell. I am in the process of migrating all my production shell scripts to a new tool that will automate execution and release of "jobs" in my production system. And this tool does not like the usage of $0. Which means echo $0 or "basename $0" returns null.

May 5, 2011I have a program that I run from the terminal that requires manual input (it's matlab in mex debugging mode, matlab -Dgdb, which starts the GNU C debugger with its own custom settings).
Every time I run this program I always type in the same few commands in the program's interactive shell before I actually start working (for example: run -nojvm; stop at mexFunction; continue). I want to avoid typing these commands and I thought I could do this with shell scripting, saving the commands in the mycommands file, then running: myprogram < mycommands
The problem is that this runs all the commands and then exits the program. I want it to run the commands and return control to me so I can run my commands. Is there a way to tell the shell to use a file or a string as the input to a program then immediately return control to the user without the exiting the program?
Ubuntu Servers :: SSH In Bourne Shell Script?
Oct 6, 2010I have a question about using bourne for a shell script. I have a script that at the moment performs a logical dump of my database, backups up the physical files of the database, and backs up everything within /var/www
I want to be able to copy the files over ssh to a remote server. However, the only way I am able to find examples of doing this is when you exchange keys and do not need to provide a password. How can you write a script that requires a password, not key exchange? I was told I specifically have to do it this way.

Programming :: Bash-shell-like Less Functionality In The Python Shell?
Jun 25, 2010Is there some type of functional way to read things in the Python shell interpreter similar to less or more in the bash (and other) command line shells?
Example:
Code:
>>> import subprocess
>>> help(subprocess)
...
[pages of stuff to read]
...
I'm hoping so as I hate scrolling and love how less works with simple keystrokes for page-up/page-down/searching etc.

General :: How To Take Backup Of Shell
Sep 2, 2010I was working on a shell and got some weird exceptions in my program.Just as a reference, I want to save all that is there on my shell to a text file. I do not just want the command history but also all the results that those commands produced at the shell.Is there some built-in utility to do this? I have kept the shell open for now, so that I can take the backup. Also, I am using xterm and it does not allow selecting all the way upto the top of the shell, so the ultimate way is to take the backup one screen at a time.
