General :: Command Line - SSH To Server Without Including Username In URL On Unix/Mac
Sep 8, 2011
I am trying to ssh into my server from the command-line without including the username in the url. I do not want it to send any username, as it currently takes the active account and sends that as user.ex:
ssh server.com -> (doesn't send default username)
instead of [URL] I would want to input username directly into the server, just like it is done using putty on windows. he wants to be prompted for a username, rather than having to provide one when connecting - but I don't really see the utility in such a thing. - birryree Sep 8 at 17:41
I sometimes get confused by the varying command line options I need to run common Unix archiving and compression software (e.g. gzip, bzip2, zip, tar).
Is there a program out there that can just Do What I Mean for common cases? For example:
I've read up some of the posts on this forum, but can't seem to find an answer. I have a web service within an Apache Tomcat instance installed on a Redhat linux server. I only have shell access to the server, and need to monitor outbound network traffic from my web service. Is there a unix command that will allow me to monitor all outbound traffic? I'm thinking fiddler, but a unix version? I've heard of things like ntop and iptraf, but I don't think those will help me in this instance.
For monitoring a network [LAN] I need a single C/C++ program using unix commands to retrieve the username, associated static IP address, what time user logged in, log out, total time system used by user. so that if a system has several users who used it @ different times of the day... then i need details of all users me,time of log in, static IP &all
I am accessing a linux server remotely from my putty. I started the server and now I want to close the command line. when I do cntr+c or cntr+z it kills my server aswell. how will I close my terminal without closing my server? I tried cntr +d but it is not doing anything
Not sure why, but the last couple of tiems I have started xampp from root terminal, I have got this message after each program start.
Warning a bogus unix line
Since that last time it was not there, other that add sweb spahes etc., I have only tried to unpack the Control Panel which was unsuccesfull anyway saying I needed some other programs.
I want to watch a number of processes in "D" status repeatedly with following command:Code:# watch -n 1 'top -b -n 1 | awk '{if ($8 == "D") {print; count++} } END {print count}''but it didn't work. I also tried with double quote. Can I use 'watch' command is this case?PS: I know 'while' and 'sleep' can do the same but it is dirty workaround.
Total, total noob here, but I would like to know if this is possible, and maybe some tips on how to do it if it is.I just got myself a dedicated server, and I guess I assumed I could just remote control it via my own screen, much like using vnc or remote desktop, but that wasn't the case.The server has Debian 5.0, a "minimal install" is what they called it, I assume it's just installed and not configured at all.1. Connect to the server, and I guess the only way is via telnet? Since I have no VNC or remote desktop (yeah, microsoft, I know, but I don't know what it's called for Linux/GNU).2. Can I install VNC or somehow "activate" or "open" the GUI via telnet, much like a remote desktop kind of solution? I have used Debian's GUI on my laptop a couple of times, and I'm a total Windows-user, but I can navigate the graphical interface. I'm just COMPLETELY nulled when it comes to command line.So yeah, I guess I'm wondering how the heck I can remote control the server via a GUI, preferably VNC, and if I can install it via telnet or however I'm supposed to connect to the server?
I tried to run % mvdir earlier and it said command not found. I then ran a search for it and still not found.Is there a place I can download the script for the command, and is there any information I should know post-download to get it to work?
This question may be silly and super easy for linux connaisseurs, but I was just wondering, for instance, I want to use the >find command to search for a file and send the results to a text file
I'm pretty sure this is super simple, but I've searched and searched and for the life of me I can't find any info on how to limit the columns that display in the interactive top program with arguments passed from the command line. I recall seeing something formatted like this ...
~/top -f (kdx)
Which would only show the %CPU, UID, program name fields/columns. I'd like to display the results in a really narrow terminal window on the right side of my desktop.
I hope to add a wrapper script for the command with different parameters. For example, for any Unix command or script, like below: command.sh -s p1 -o p2 -q p3 or command.sh
Probably we could do as this way cat wrapper $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 | tee test.log (assume it has 0 to 6 parameters)
and use it like wrapper command.sh -s p1 -o p2 -q p3 wrapper command.sh
It is a little ugly to list all fixed parameter as above, do we have better code to handle various parameters?
When looking for a certain word or phrase in the man page of linux command, one can type '/' followed by the word/phrase to search for it. What I'd like to be able to do is to search for the next occurrence of the word/phrase without having to type it out again. Kinda like when you use 'ctrl+f' in a browser to search for a word, and then press 'enter' to find the next occurrence of that word.If this is possible to do, how do I do it?
I have a small script that takes input from one file, and uses this input to do a find/replace (with sed) to make an executable snmp trap.The input file could look something like this :JOHBURG SOUTH AFRICAOSLO NORWAY..etcThe script takes the input from this file, and preserves all words in one line as a variable (so that the variables are "JOHBURG SOUTH AFRICA" and "OSLO NORWAY", instead of JOHBURG, SOUTH, AFRICA, OSLO, NORWAY.This is working ok (in the given example, I get two variables).sed is supposed to take this variable, and use it to substitute "HITME" with the new variable.
i've gotten my fedora 12 to the point where i can run python3 scripts from command line and can call up python 2.6.2 idle with the command 'idle' from command line. what command will call up python3 (3.1.2 to be exact) idle?
I was having so much trouble with ubuntu 8.04 that I deleted off my computer and did a fresh install of 9.10. I downloaded the 64 bit iso from the internet, burned it to a disc and installed it. When it asked if it should be the server version I thought I said no. Now when I boot it only boots to the server version and all I get is command line. Can I get out of this and get my regular ubuntu screen back or did I install the wrong version?
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,
