General :: Disable The Escape Sequence With "screen"?
Dec 30, 2009
Is there any way to disable the escape sequence in screen, so the user can't escape and run commands? we have a program that runs under user "shop". We want to wrap it in a screen session, and use .screenrc to set it multiuser and allow the "dev" user to connect to it. Then, if the "shop" user loses his connection, the session will stay running, and then the "dev" user can attach to the session and end it. We want the "shop" user to be unable to enter any "screen" commands.

I am reading "A Byte of Python" and this is the 2nd time I've completely been confused about something:"What if you wanted to specify a two-line string? One way is to use a triple-quoted string asshown previously or you can use an escape sequence for the newline character - toindicate the start of a new line. An example is This is the first lineThis is thesecond line. Another useful escape sequence to know is the tab - There are many moreescape sequences but I have mentioned only the most useful ones here."In python:>>> "This is the first lineThis is the second"'This is the first lineThis is the second'>>>
Is it possible to remove the ESC sequences in GNU Screen's output file? Things such as colours, tabs and other escape characters make their way into the log files and become difficult to decipher.
I've tried Dr. Google & Co. as well as reading the manual, but haven't been able to find anything suitable.Perhaps I've overlooked something?
I'm currently using an external screen with my laptop at home connected with a serial port. When I'm in X, my laptop display is automatically disabled, when the external screen is connected. Is there a way to do this also at boot time? Where do I have to configure this? Also I'd like to have my login shells on my external screen, when switching to them out of X.
I did a quick search of the forums and noticed that 2 LED's flashing indicates some sort of kernel panic, but what about all three flashing, one at a time in sequence? I'm doing diskless booting of RedHat 5.1 on this machine but I'm hoping the problem isn't related to that, and just something simple. The OS loads, and I get to the login screen (not noticing anything about kernel panics during boot), but the keyboard doesn't work and the three lights flash. It's not a GUI login screen, so I don't know if the mouse would work.
It's very disturbing when making a Kiosk application, every time the lock screen and screensaver shows up, also many popup + battery or updates shows up. Where and how can I completely disable the lock screen, screen saver and alerts via a configuration file or from the terminal? I have the tried following but nothing works: failed
I have recently loaded Ubuntu 9.10 which runs perfectly, except for the power management system.I go into the GUI power management screen and tell it to use the screen-saver after ten minutes, but NEVER suspend/ hibernate but it suspends/hibernates anyway,sometimes after an hour, sometimes hours later.Is it possible to keep the screen-saver but disable the rest of the power management system?
sometimes there are one, sometime there are two exchanges in this log file. the 100= is the stock exchange- if there are two, they are seperated by a comma. i understand how to escape a comma in a regex, but I am having trouble with combining it.
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).
i have a cd that shows you an empty directory unless you mount it for the joliet extensions - specifically 25 2f 40. It uses wide characters with the high half null.
When I started I took the defaults and ended up with Evolution.
I have never managed to get it set up to send. It and godaddy are on diffferent planets.
Having used Thunderbird in the past, I downloaded it and it automagically set itself up to send and receive.
So now I use Thunderbird - BUT - when I click on a link in an html page - the mailto macro sends me to something other than THunderbird - perhaps Evolution - and nothing gets sent.
So how do I tell the system that when i click a mailto in firefox I want Thunderbird?
PS I think I found it. In firefox - edit - preferences - applications tab - mmailto - it said Evolution. I changed it so say /usr/bin/thunderbird - will now test it.
YES - Seems that asking a question triggers my brain on how to resolve it. Sorry to waste your time.
I would like to replace gvim with vim in the terminal. One of the nice things about gvim is that it is able to display text using italics.
Vim allows setting an ANSI escape code for italics (e[3m), but this does not work in gnome-terminal. Is there a terminal emulator that supports the ANSI escape code for italics?
I am trying to use sed command to repalce one string with other but somehow replacement string contains forwards slash hence getting the error statement garbled!
Is there tool or a regexp that can convert shell escape characters to HTML code?
As an example, here is a logfile from GNU screen:
Which I would like to convert to something like this:
And send as HTML e-mail to an e-mail address, to archive my work.
Here is a related question, which shows how to convert it to regular text, but it would be nice to convert to HTML and not just throw the escape characters away.
Why is the Linux boot sequence is organized the way it is?Power on + BIOS runs hardware initialisation and self tests, LILO/GRUB etc... but why is it organised the way it is?Would I be right saying it is primarily for debugging purposes?
Is there a way to interrupt the boot sequence, or execute it line by line? Alternatively, after a command has executed and the scree fills up, is there any way to "page up" on the screen?
I have an external drive mounted courtesy of an entry in fstab. The drive isn't detected at boot time until AFTER the backuppc service that will use the drive has started. I have to therefore manually stop and restart the backuppc service once booting has completed, otherwise backuppc thinks there is no drive available to it.
How can I force the mounting of my external device to occur BEFORE the backuppc service starts?
I'm creating a bash script that contains the following line:"ssh user@$server1 cd /tmp; pwd"What I want is to print /tmp of server1, but the script it isn't printing that
I have a text file that contains many lines that look like this:
I'm trying to make my script read this text file, find the string sequence "QIEN", and delete everything from this sequence backwards (including "QIEN") so that the above lines look something like this:
I'm aware that grep is good to do a regular find-and-delete as follows:
Code:
But this will delete everything on the lines that contain the string sequence "QIEN".
