I'm looking for a Windows program/script/command line function that works like Linux's watch program. watch periodically calls another program/whatever and shows the result, which is great for refreshing an output file or similar every second: watch cat my-output.txt or, more powerfully: watch grep "fail" my-output.txt I've looked for it in cygwin's library, but it doesn't seem to be present.
View 3 RepliesUsing an ATI Tv wonder HD 600 card, and i'm trying to use it to view an analog signal through the coax input. Normally, I'd tune the tv to channel 3 and be done with it. I'm not really sure how to proceed with it.
Code:
scan /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB doesn't pull in the correct input, and i'm not sure that non-digital inputs are even supported.
Need little advice running this command.
watch -d 'ps aux | awk '{print $4" "$11}' | sort | uniq -c | awk '{print $2" "$1" "$3}' | sort -nr | head'
I get this error message from AWK. awk: cmd. line:1:
{print awk: cmd. line:1: ^ unexpected newline or end of string
I have tried all the usual by trying to escape the single and double quotes in the command but same result. The end result should be the a listing of memory hungry processes that are scanned every 2 seconds (watch default value).
From man watch: Non-printing characters are stripped from program output. Use "cat -v" as part of the command pipeline if you want to see them. So how do I use cat -v if I want to see the colored output from:watch ls -al --color

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've always wanted to give Linux a go, so I decided to try out Ubuntu, but before I can I need to ask some questions. 1. When doing partitions to run something like Windows 7 and Ubuntu ((I'm going to be using Ubuntu when I'm not playing games.)) can I choose to only give it afew gigs of hard drive space, well, probably like 20-50?
2. Is there a way to take music/videos I've downloaded on Windows and watch them on the Ubuntu Partition? If so, how?
3. Using Wubi is the 'Installation size' option how much space you're giving to the Ubuntu partition or will I need to download/burn the .iso file to a cd/dvd to do that?
Downloaded FF4. For my purposes it doesn't seem that much different from FF3. I was able to watch videos on a news website that I hadn't been able to with FF3! On FF3, with the windows theme I have, there is a nice blue tint on the top of the tab, but not on FF4.

I finally decided to transition to a 64-bit install (AMD64). (same machine, just reinstalling as a 64-bit kernel starting w/ a Debian squeeze netinstall image) My audio chipset is nvidia MCP61, and it was working perfectly under a 32-bit kernel (I did the transition because a poorly-written system backup script (my fault) hosed /usr, /bin, and /sbin) When everything was up and running:
*: KDE4 only recognized the output device as ALC1200 Analog
*: kmix only had a single channel(master)
*: alsamixergui did recognize all the channels
*: some games (sauerbraten, for example) had no sound in KDE4.
*: some games (warzone2100, for example) did have sound in KDE4.
*: the games that had no sound in KDE4 did have sound in fluxbox.
I removed the following packages (some of which I had installed to try to get audio working properly):

so here's my problem. I am trying to install windows xp on my computer in virtual machine so i can watch netflix on my computer. The disk will not start up, if I restart and try to boot from load i just sits there and says boot from cd. The disk drive plays music cd's fine, so i dont really know what the issue is.
I dont know that much aboutut ubuntu. a tech friend put it on hard drive he gave me after mine crashed. also i should ad that i took the disk to someone else's house that haswidnows installed and the disk worked just fine, so its not a disk problem

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using on Windows Vista, Filezilla server. I have it set up to be accessed via outside IPs and when I use a client on the IP I have it connects normally using Filezilla client. On the same machine I have Ubuntu running in a virtual box and when using filezilla client in there it works fine. Now I want to try the command prompt. So I do the ftp xxx.xxx.xx.xxI enter the name and password and i get the ftp command prompt, but the commands are not working properly. when trying "ls" or "cd" these commands do not work. "cd" tells me that the current directory is "/" root, but this does not make sense in the windows operating system. Now the filezilla client is taking the user in the application window directly to the root folder of the permitted filespace granted to that user. How can the same be done from the command prompt, if there is a way? It is as if the command prompt takes me to the root which does not exist or even have correct permissions to move in. Is there any way to be taken to the correct directory directly, or move there especially when the slashes are the wrong way around etc?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've worked exclusively in Windows. I can handle that.I've worked exclusively in DOS (a long time ago!). I can handle that.I've worked exclusively in Unix.I can handle that.Right now, I am developing a command-line (python) application on a Windows machine, testing it in a DOS box (i.e. Windows' Command prompt), and then deploying it to Linux, and running it with PuTTY.
I cannot handle that. My productivity drops dramatically when CTRL-C cuts in one window (Windows) and kills the process in another (DOS, Linux).My productivity drops dramatically when Enter copies the selection in one window (DOS), and deletes the selection in another (Windows), and runs the current half-edited command in the third (PuTTY).My productivity drops dramatically when I cannot hit Undo, Home or End.The Solution I am Seeking
An SSH/Bash command-line client that runs on Windows and, to the extent possible, uses all the standard Windows shortcuts (Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Home, End, Insert, Shift-Arrows, etc.) work on a bash command line. Bonus points if it puts the cursor between letters, rather than on them.Plus, an equivalent DOS command-line drop-in that runs on Windows, and provides the same interface.need to be special buttons to actually transfer CTRL codes (like CTRL-C) through in the cases I need them.I suspect the SSH client will need to be specific to a shell (so it knows when it is at the command prompt, and when it is inside a running app.)I know there are many SSH clients, but I am looking for advice for a particular need.PuTTY feels like an escape route for Unix programmers stuck on Windows. I am the opposite.Can anyone recommend one (or maybe a combination of an SSH client and an Command-Line replacement)?
Update: After seeing the early answers here, I turned my requirements into a blog article, which may give more background in the direction I am looking.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI switch between Linux and Windows quite a lot and it's annoying the hell out of me that the Windows command prompt won't auto-complete directory paths when I press Tab if I use forward slashes like in Linux.For example, if I'm trying to navigate to a directory 'bin':
cd /path/to/dir/b <tab> - this won't auto-complete to 'bin'
cd path odir <tab> - this will auto-complete.
Can I tell the Command Prompt to use forward slashes instead?
I'm learning a foreign language. There are several online sites that have Flash video in the language I'm learning (e.g., Hulu), which is great. Unfortunately, they have English subtitles, which is (depending on who you ask) somewhere between "annoying" and "actively harmful to my learning".When I'm watching them in a window, I can just move them near the bottom of the screen, or put another window over them. That's awkward, but it kind of works.But I'd like to watch them full-screen, on my TV set. Full-screen Flash doesn't let me put any window on top of it.Is there a way to watch an online Flash video but block out part of it?
