After typing "grep some_word" on terminal 6, the system doesn't do a thing, just lets me type endlessly. I've tried "Esc", "q" , [CTRL] + x, "exit" and no luck. I bet I'll kick my ass when you tell me but at the moment I can't figure it out. Rebooting would probably solve the problem but there must be a better way.
View 5 RepliesI can't get this simple regular expression to work for matching emails: 'w*(?:.w*)*@w*(?:.w*)*w{2,5}'
It should be working as I have tested it with regex pal and it works just fine. I think there's a problem with optional character class but I'm not sure.

View 5 Replies View RelatedThere are often times when the best way to launch an application is from the terminal, but it is a graphical application and after it is launched the terminal is useless.
Examples of places where a terminal is convenient are when a process starts lots of child processes and is also unstable; you can be sure to kill all of its children simply by using Ctrl-C at the terminal. Also it allows me to read program output and to set up the terminal environment to be optimal for the application (for example "unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT")
With GNU screen, I can get around the hassle of having a terminal window open by using something like the following in a terminal window:
Code:
screen
my_command
Ctrl-A d
and then I can close the terminal and the program will keep running. Then I just type "screen -r <Tab>" (the tab will get me my screen session if there is only one such session) in any terminal window, even a tty, and I can get the screen session back and use Ctrl-c or something.
So my question is, is there a way to do this automatically so that a launcher or script will start a screen session, inside that screen session start a process, and then detach from that screen session without me having to manually open and close a terminal and type the commands?
