View 6 RepliesIntuitively I think that the Login Shell and the Interactive Shell are the same applications but have access to different environmental variables.It this true? Why is there more than one type of shell anyways? You can change users with the interactive shell, why not log on with it to?

How do I make my default shell as tcsh?
I used c-shell previously in unix. One of the useful command I used frequently is foreach.> foreach a (`cat list`)>> echo $a need to use bash shell now instead, and realized that I can't use foreach anymore. The command is not found. Does anyone knows if there is similar command / function in bash shell?
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I open firefox from my bash shell with:
Code:
firefox google.ca
it opens firefox, I can browse, etc.
Now if I alt-tab back into my shell, i can't enter any commands in the shell.
I know that i can do this if I close firefox, but I want to keep working in my shell with firefox still open.
Is this possible?
I notice that my bittorrent client is capable of automatically setting up port forwards with my router, and I want to know if I can do the same in a shell script. The reason is, that since my router is stupid and won't let me keep static IP addresses (it seems they forced a DHCP refresh every week to make me want to pay for a more expensive model which doesn't), I need to get my computer to change the port forward to follow my computer's changing internal network IP address. I have a couple of port forward manually entered into my router settings for web interfaces to bittorrent etc, but of course these have a good chance of being invalidated at each DHCP refresh cycle.

I am wondering if there is an easier way? I suspect, a custom script is in order, but perhaps someone else has done something similar before.

In linux how do I to get the ascii decimal/hex/oct code from a char or a ascii char from a decimal/hex/oct code. I see from the gnu sed user manual that I can use the d# o# x# to specify a character but I am not sure how to use that. If some one has a better way to get the the ` and ' chars through I want to sed with the backtick '`' character and ''' single quote character.
sed '/`/p'
these don't work
sed '/'/p'
sed '/`/p'
I am working on a simple script that should take two command line arguments, a [number] and a [name]. The first thing the script should do is check to make sure that no more and no less than two command line arguments have been entered when calling the script - an error message should be delivered if the condition is not true.
If two args have been entered, then the message 'processing "scriptname"' should appear, where scriptname is the name of the script being called. The script should then write to the screen "Hi [name]!", and should write this phrase [number] of times. For example, the command $ myscript 2 joe would produce the output: I have read the manual many times looking for examples, and I am very close by virtue of my own efforts. Further, I have searched these forums and others for good examples, which have also gotten me very close. Still my script is not completing the objective, and I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Script:

i have a script where i need to pass an argument "1234:-)"if i run this as ./shell.sh 1234:-)it wont work because invalid character. i need to handle this with expect utility so if i pass it as ./shell.sh "1234:-)"no issue in bash but expect does not recognize this.

Example:

I just wonder the distinction calling the function between $(one_function) and one_function in bash shell script.

I have a CentOS dedicated server running ProFTP. I have created user accounts which are meant for FTP access only but the users cannot connect to the FTP unless their shell access is /bin/bash
Here is an example line that is outputted when I use this command:
This user can access the FTP fine, but he can also access SSH which I don't want to allow him to do. If I set his shell access to /bin/false then he can't connect to the FTP.
What can I use in instead of /bin/bash to allow FTP but don't allow SSH?
I have a user that has been used for long time now that runs o C Shell... now there is a need to change it to Bash Shell? Can I cause a problem changing his shell from C to bash? I mean apps or variables?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am unable to use clear or cls command on bash shell. I have recently installed Cygwin and am using that for practicing unix commands.
I see that I can use Ctrl + L to clear the screen. I created an alias in my .bashrc to do the same as
alias cls='^L'
This is how i defined other aliases e.g.
And they work. Hence I assume cls will work too but this is what I get when I try to give cls on command prompt. Am i missing something? Is there a way to do this?
Then someone suggested, You cannot alias keystrokes to commands or vice versa. You could just alias cls to an echo command: echo -en "x0c"
And I added the following to .bashrc,
Sourced the .bashrc file. No errors but cls still does not clear the screen. Infact when I typed the echo -en "x0c on command prompt as well, nothing happened. What does this command do?

My linux computer runs ubuntu 10.04.
I have it hooked up to a device, and the device manual says:
Device Specs:
Here is my script:
PROBLEM 1: The file gets created and most of the data gets saved to it, but the terminal never goes back to the ~ (home directory?) when finished. I can type whatever I want but it wont go anywhere or do anything even when I press enter. I have to click the X to close it and then the prompt comes up saying something like "are you sure you want to close terminal and kill all processes".
Reset does not work nor does the "stty sane" command that I read would force it to reset.
PROBLEM 2: See the 00/01 character in front of 200 and 201, those are <SOH> commands and in the file they are supposed to show up, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. But there is always supposed to be an <ETX> after each one, and with the way its written now, no <ETX> shows up, <ETX> is 00/03 i think.
Here is what the output is supposed to look like:
yet the first SOH doesn't show up half the time and none of the ETX show up.
I am about to write my first shell script for backing up my server.
These are the steps I have identified so far.
Copy files to be backed up to /srv/backup/ run mysqldump and copy the file to srv/backup/databases run duplicity to backup /srv/backup/* to another folder on my machine
I am writing a bash shell scrip that will be run everyday, and will carry out the three tasks mentioned above.
Note: point 3 (backing up to a local folder) is only a temporary measure - to allow me to understand what I'm doing, since all the tools I am using, are new to me. Once I can backup and restore correctly, I will use duplicity to compress and encrypt the files and upload them offsite.
If my understanding of duplicity is correct (according to the documentation here), the first time I run the script, a FULL backup will be done. Every subsequent backup will then be incremental. I will then force a FULL back on say a weekend.
First things first though - I have a few questions:
I would like to use backup rotation for the 'scheme' described above - I would like some recommendations on what kind/type of rotation to use. Once I have implemented the backup rotation, how can I restore from a particular day back in time (assuming the backup exists of course). ?

However, every time I write a command in the shell with the file name (eg "Spring 2011"), the shell doesn't recognize the file or directory. What can I do about this? Is there any way to use the unicode character for a space?
