ok, I pressed alt-ctrl-f1 and it displayed my screen with a gui. I then pressed alt-ctrl-f2 and it displayed a textual desktop. I pressed alt-ctrl-f3 and it displayed the same thing. When I pressed alt-ctrl-f1 to return to my gui, it would not let me return to a gui. I was stuck in a cmd line textual desktop.
How, without restarting, do i return to a gui once I press alt-ctrl-f2??

In my .bashrc I have the following lines to turn on colors for grep and ls alias ls='ls --color=auto'export GREP_OPTIONS='--color=auto'.I've tried changing the alias to export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto' but that doesn't work.Is there anyway to use an export instead of alias. And are there actually any benefits to one way over the other?

I have a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d named foo. I want to start/stop/restart my process as follows:$ foo start But I do not see the [OK] message once it starts. There is no shell prompt returned either. It seems that my own process is the problem. The executable that foo calls is built from this sample code:
int main() { do { printf("Hello world "); sleep(1); } while (1); }
Do I have to return some kind of signal handle for this to work?

Some files have a list of hardware errors (we test electronic components), some have none. If the file name has no errors, I still want to display a message like so
Code: grep ^err R*VER && echo "No error" FILEA.TXT:err->USB3910err FILED.TXT:err No Error
This grep statement works but it seemingly overrides the find() statement above if I run both at the same time... How can I combine the two statements to create a report that lists the filename and error(s) like so
Code: FILEA.TXT Button3320err FILEB.TXT USB3235err FILEC.TXT IR Remote2436err FILED.TXT No error
Is it possible to return "No error" with the file name without error?

I'm currently on a Linux machine and the shell prompt is showing me the last return value and number of executed commands (picture included, with these numbers shown in purple).

I am running an embedded Linux Release 2.4.19-uc0.
I have code in several places that calls
reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART)
successfully. I need to put it into a new place in a application running on the system. When I do, it seems to just lock up the system and does not return from the call nor leave me able to Telnet in or Ping or anything. I've tried puttingtrace code in to write info out to a file, but that too is not working (as it never returns from the reboot() call.I don't get any error from reboot(), it just does not return and does not appear to restart the system.
