General :: Send Enter Command To Screen ?
Apr 5, 2011
I'm currently writing a C++ application to manage some screen functions in Debian(server).
However this issue have bothered me for 2 days now...
What I want to do is to send a command to an attached screen which is running.
Used the following command: Code: screen -S screenwindow So I send a command with the -X parameter, which works just fine... Code: screen -S screenwindow -X stuff yes The command I want to send is "yes" and it does appear in my screen window when I attach it.
But the problem is that I need it to submit it... well I need to press "enter" and I've been looking everywhere on how to do that.
Because right now it hangs on a line like this: Code: Something here, do you want bla bla: yes Obviously I could just press enter myself, but the problem is that it's running as a deamon and but it is supposed to do this all by itself .
So are there any way I can submit it?

in the middle of script, i need to send the output of (send command on line 8) to a file
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn telnet 172.20.64.133
expect "ENTER USERNAM <"
[cod]....
i treid the below on line 8 :
1- send "show command;
" > logfile.txt : gives an error extra character after the "
2- logsave logfile.txt 'send "show command;
" ': error invalid command
3- i simply tried to send the output of the whole script to file logsave /home/logfile ./script : seems that logsave work under root only
4- ./script > logfile : the problem with this is that the output of echo or (read "enter your id") command will not be displayed on the screen (actually nothing will be displayed, i have to open the log file to see the output). is there any way to save the log of the "send" ? or to save the log of the complete script without hiding the output on the screen?

I am writing an expect script and I want to send the command for the print-screen function. So, what is the command? Alternatively, is there some terminal application which may be well suited to take screen-shots via commands from the terminal or automation scripts?

Succeeded in connecting to internet using my wll phone. I can now connect using 'wvdial' command in root terminal. But I want to connect through terminal. I tried 'sudo wvdial' command. Then I am asked for my password. But I cannot type my password there. When I type, nothing appears on the terminal window. Ofcourse there's no problem with my keyboard.

I have a minecraft server running as a daemon. When you run it normally (not as a daemon), you can type commands into the console. How can you get to the console so I can send it commands while it's running as a daemon?

I open up 2 xterms on my desktop, A(/dev/pts/0) and B(/dev/pts/1).I can write from A to B using redirection e.g. echo "test" > /dev/pts/1How do I run a command from A on B? e.g. "clear"Basically I'm putting the 2 terminals side by side, and using terminal B to display the contents of the current working directory, by running the following in A:export PROMPT_COMMAND="ls -a > /dev/pts/1"but this fills up the screen pretty fast. I was actually looking for a way to clear up the second terminal.

I'm looking for an easy way to send basic emails for the command line. I have tried configuring sendmail and mailx, but I have yet been able to receive a test email at my remote address. I have read through a fair amount of "how to" on this but I am a little confused and obviously not doing something right. My sendmail.mc file is as follows

I've got a Debian Squeeze computer on which the graphics have packed up, but the terminal in single user mode work perfectly fine.
There are a few files on this Debian computer that I want to transfer off, to a networked computer, but I have no idea how to do this.
The destination computer is a freshly re-setup Mandriva install, without (as yet) samba. I don't think it's necessary though. The Mandriva install works fine, has graphics, etc, but can't see the Debian Squeeze computer on the network, possibly because it's in single user mode, thus prompting the problem of how to transfer the files, using only a command line.

Send an E-mail to your local account. Try two different ways to send and read it. How can you check that it really arrived? I decided to try using the 'mail' and 'pine' commands. So:
1) Using the root account, intending to send an e-mail to myself (root):
Code:
# mail -s "Hello root!" root
Simple form of sending e-mails internally.
^D (this keystroke is to finish the e-mail)
EOT
2) Using 'pine', another e-mail client: The mail is composed correctly, with 'To:' field set to:
Quote:
[URL]
which is my hostname, as my box runs in a VMWare Slack 12.2 image. In both cases, nothing was received in my mailbox (by typing #mail)... Additionally I don't see any new e-mails when I look at the file '/var/spool/mail/root'. Do I need extra information configuring my mail client/server/service?

How can I send gpg encrypted mail automatically from the linux command line?
I'm a little stumped on this one, I've tried using mutt but it doesn't encrypt mail unless it's used interactively.
Does anyone know if you can use the build in mail command to do this some how?

I've just setup a new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server on linode for myself. Followed an excellent instruction at: here to finish the installation of some basic stuff including postfix.
I am trying to figure out a way to send an email to my gmail address with an attachment, but cannot find how. Already confirmed that email can reach my gmail account.
In the end I have to use mutt to send the email with attachments, probably SendEmails will also do well, but I am wondering how to do the same thing in postfix from command-line?

how to include my command results in a script? Basically what the script does is it checks the status of a service within the linux server, then sends an email when done. I want to include the results of my status check to my mail when sent.
i.e.
service dhcp3-server status Status of DHCP server: dhcpd3 is running. <---this I want to include in the mail that is sent out via script.
