I am writing a script to get hardware information of a particular UNIX machine. To do this, I ftp a shell script (commands to get h/w information) to the target machine and then use SSH to remote the remote script.With FTP, I can pass a password accepted as input the shell script. How can I pass the same password to SSH ? This is because I do not want the user to enter the password twice.

View 5 Replies View RelatedOn our server we have a certain directory, say /storage, that contains many large files. They are all compressed (gzip). Many of our users are not computer-savvy, and so when one of these files is needed, they will copy it to their own directory. Consequently, we have multiple terabytes of duplicate data. I'd like to enforce an alias whereby if someone tries to use cp on a file from /storage, they will instead create a symbolic link. My idea was something like:
alias cp='cp.storage'
File cp.storage:#!/bin/sh
truePath=$(readlink -f "$1")
[code]....
The conditional checks whether the file being copied begins with "/storage". The problem with this is that if someone wanted to use cp with any options on a file not in /storage, those options would be obliterated. Can someone guide me as to a good way to accomplish this? Either a way to get the options from cp into cp.storage, or another approach not using alias this way. Everyone will be using bash.
how to use QGLviewer. I want to give my program a file name as a command line argument. All of the sample programs I find have a main.cpp file like this:
Quote:
#include <QApplication>
#include "window.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
[code]....
Then the Window class, which is derived from QGLViewer, does all the program's actual work. If I want access to argc and argv, for example, to open and read a file that's passed as an argument, what would handle that? Is there a built-in way to get the arg variables to the window class, or do I need to just write a loadfile function and pass them?
I am very new to shell scripting.How does one pass a command-line parameter to a shell script?for the below program

View 13 Replies View RelatedI don't recall my Ubuntu password.**
I found instructions regarding recovery.
They involve pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 while booting the Ubuntu live CD.
If I allow the live CD to boot, I arrive at a Ubuntu GUI.
However, if I press Ctrl-Alt-F1, the monitor (HDMI TV) goes blank and indicates "no signal
correcting the password from a GUI (can I just go to a command prompt from there somehow, and work from that command prompt?) or getting my video to display when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1?
** (I remember trying to set up the system with NO password).
It's absurd to require one.
Especially so if a person with a live CD can simply change it (I guess at least the change would be detected).
I have Fedora 14 with minimal installation (without graphical interface and so on) and the application I've been working needs to be initialized on boot up. So, I need to disable the login prompt (and password) by command line. How can I do it? I've seen by GUI, but with command line nothing...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an old PC (130mb RAM, 6gb hard drive).
I installed a command-line version of Ubuntu 10.04 using the Alternate CD. The machine was wiped, and I used most of the default settings.
I used a thirteen character user id which consisted of mixed case letters and numbers, and an eighteen character password that contains mixed case letters and numbers and a # sign.
When I rebooted, the command-line login would not accept my password. I assumed I had somehow made a mistake, and just wiped the machine again and reinstalled. This time I was very careful with the user name/pw.
Again, the command-line login did not accept my password!
On a hunch, I took an old Ubuntu 7.10 Alternate CD and erased the machine again. I installed a command-line version of Ubuntu. AGAIN --- it will not accept my password even though I'm 100% sure it is correct.
I need user to input a password through command line in Windows cmd prompt. Is there a way to encrypt the input (such as put it into ......) when user is typing ?
