In shell scripting, what do or what does this symbol do or mean ? "."(octet), ";" (semicolon)? Would really like to know? Cause I saw a written script if [ -f /etc/file ];then. . /etc/file. Wondering, the "." is meant to be source, so is "." the same thing as "source" ?

how come I can create a shell script file with two functions, I can execute the file, but when running declare -f, the functions are not on memory, and when invoking the function bash returns invalid. In the other hand, I can copy & paste the two functions at the end of my /etc/bashrc file.... then I can called the function by name.... and the commands within that function run on my session. here is a print of all my bash packets:

Does Fedora has restrictions on shell scripting? I haven't touch bash in seven years, so if things have change on it I'm behind on it, and sorry for my ignorance.
I wonder if there is anyway to make a user-defined bash shell function global, meaning the function can be use in any bash shell scripts, interactively or not. This is what I attempted:
Code:
$ tail -n 3 /etc/bashrc
echotm () {
echo "[`date`] $@"
}

I've been messing with a curses-based disk check tool in Linux called VDT (visual disk test). It puts out a nice little chart on the screen as it's going, but I have no idea what each unit of output on the chart means. I've read the man page several times, but there doesn't seem to be any mention of the visual output.
For instance, right now I have a chart that looks like this during a read test. What do the o's and the Z mean?

When I try to open text file with mouse pad or kate write all I see is PK and in small letters HF over TF_. I have no idea how this happened. How do I get my text document back? Using XFCE4.6.1, mousepad and kate write for my journal. Properties says its a zip archive but I didn't do that. Anyway tried to unzip it and got:
Code:
PowerJustice may be a plain executable, not an archive
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of PowerJustice or

I've been wondering about this for a long time but never thought to ask: I do a lot of scientific work so there are many times it would be really handy to be able to type mathematical symbols or Greek letters which, for the most part, aren't part of the ASCII character set. Like "∞ ρ σ τ ω ∑ ... √ ∫ ≤ ≥ " and so on. Is there a keyboard layout (for Linux) that maps simple key combinations to these kinds of characters? (Assuming all the encoding and font issues are worked out properly) I know I could create one myself but it'd be a lot easier if someone's already done the work, or at least if there's a partial solution I could modify.

I already tried to use setxkbmap or xmodmap. Using xmodmap at least I managed that CapsLock to behaves like Del by following this description.
But I could not achieve assigning the AltGr behavior to CapsLock.
I'm on Ubuntu 11.04. I have read around about how to use curl to download a list of URLs from a text file, and everyone says to use Code:curl -K URLlist.txt. This is what the curl man page says as well. However, for even a simple file with one URL, this command outputs a bunch of weird symbols for me instead of downloading the file.For example, I have a text file "test.txt" with one line in the following format:
Code:
url = "http://www.example.com/image.jpg"

I was trying to write a script to change the signature of the all the methods in a set of scripts.. here is a sample of the same :
old signature :
methodname()
{
method-body
}
New signature:

method-body
}
That is i need to insert "function" keyword in front of the methodname and remove the () after the methodname.
In my code I want to have two different functions to be executed simultaneously (in parallel) in a single processor system. I tried to use pthreads but they happened to be executed one after another. I have heard about fork, some saying that its no longer recommended since its functions can be achieved by pthreads.
