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.

It has been happening to me since I started to use this laptop from the company for a linux test bed. Several times a day, when I do something from the command line, for example running an application connecting to another host on the internet, etc,it comes to a freeze and does not come out of it. I can not do anything else than a forced reboot from the power button, because the keyboard and the mouse do not respond. This work laptop is a lenovo W500, running on ubuntu jaunty, release 9.04. I have not encountered this problem before with my personal laptop though. My person laptop is a lenovo X61s, running on ubuntu karmic, release 9.10Should I reinstall the work laptop with some other version of ubuntu? Could it be some hardware problem ? What tools should I use to diagnose

I'm using recordmydesktop for screencasts and currently use pavucontrol to select the monitor as the input source, as shown in many guides across the Internet, but I can't find anything on how to do it from the command line. How can I select a monitor as the audio input source for recordmydesktop from the command line?

I am trying to write a script that takes an input file ($FileName) and an intermediate file ($FileName.info) and removes lines from $FileName if the value in $2 of $FileName.info is <75.
I can't figure out how to feed only one line of the .info file to the if statement at a time so that it will perceive it as an integer instead of a list.
The error I am getting now is ./script.sh: line 6: [: : integer expression expected
Sample input $FileName
Code:

I have an executable with input options, like so:
Code:
./executable -n 42 -s 42
I've added gcov to the makefiles (compiling with --coverage, -fprofile-arcs, and -ftest-coverage, and linking with -lgcov). It builds fine and creates executable.gcno.
When I try to run gcov, gcov things the options belong to it:
Code:
$ gcov ./executable -n 42 -s 42
gcov: invalid option -- 's'
Usage: gcov [OPTION]... SOURCEFILE...
When I use quotes this happens:
Code:
$ gcov './executable -n 42 -s 42'
executable -n 42 -s 42.gcno:cannot open graph file
The command line options must remain. How can I get gcov to generate the same .gcno file it later looks for?

I 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...

I 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 am an absolute Linux Beginner who is being required to do a bit of admin work because the boss just fired the old linux admin. Unfortunately, one of our employees cannot remember her password to her email account and as such I need to reset it on our linux server.What I want to check is that this email account is actually a linux user account and I simply will reset the password for it using the passwd command from the root login. Is that correct?

I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...
I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):
* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).
** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,
My system:
Intel i7
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
android-sdk-linux-x86
eclipse 3.6.2

I need to create a single line of output from multiple and variable lines of input in a Linux bash shell script.
My input file looks like this:
Where there may be any number of umsecondaryphonenumber lines; if there is not a umsecondaryphonenumber line for a telephonenumber, I don't want to write any output.
So, the output file should look like:
The script I have so far is:
My question is - how do print each of the elements of an array in one record - i.e. what do I put in place of howdoiprintarray?

I have a file with two fields of numbers that I want to use as input for another program.
Code:
The above code does not work, as I think it would take the whole first and second fields as the input for one particular instance of the program 'inputbashangle'. What I want is to get the first two numbers from the first line of the file 'outfailtest', execute 'inputbashangle' with them, then move on to the first two numbers of the second line for all the lines of 'outfailtest'.

I would like to ask the following:
1) ls -l |grep test -> this will grep every "ls -l" output line
2) ls -1 |xargs grep test -> this will grep every single file with test
3) ls -1 |xargs echo -> this will echo directory list
4) ls -1 |echo -> this does nothing!!!
My question is: how some command can receive input from "both sides" (grep can grep whole output or every single file - xargs, the same is for i.e. wc command). 4) echo does nothing (it's a single echo command).
