when ever some error happens in the functions, they are not propagated and err_out function is not called.I tried #!/bin/bash -E too; that way when there is an error the script exits but what I need is error to be propagated properly to the handler.

below are the details of my system. I have bash as my current shell, some really common commands aren't working.
Do I need to do a re-installation of bash? Or how do I install a selection of bash commands which I need? (for example a subset of [URL])

When you are performing time consuming operations in bash like installing new software, is it possible to write text that will appear at the prompt when the operation has finished.
E.g
Imagine running:
apt-get install eclipse-platform
Then it will use quite a while to finish while you see the installation log, meanwhile I want to create new folders (workspaces) which Eclipse later will use.
Is this possible without opening a new terminal (or tab)?

I have bash 4.0. I used the following for loop example, but all it outputs is "{1..10} instead of the actual numbers one through ten. why?
Code:
for a in {1..10}
do
echo -n "$a "
done
I have bash script which has lots of echo statements and also I aliased echo to echo -e both in .bash_profile and .bashrc, so that new lines are printed properly for a statement like echo 'Hello World' the output should be I even tried using shopt -s expand_aliases in the script, I am running my script as bash /scripts/scriptnm.sh; if I run it as . /scripts/scriptnm.sh I am getting the desired output.

but that changes all. how can I change all files but subdirectorys? I was thinking of something likels -l | grep -v ^d but can't get it to work. I'm still learning about variables and how to use them. thanks in advance for your Patients.
I would like to keep track of not only what bash commands I used and when, but also where they were issued from, i.e. what was the current working directory when I issued "foobar" on a particular day and time. Can we ask bash history to keep track of working directories too? I have tried to get an idea of this reading the enormous "man bash", but I don't seem to have an answer yet either way.

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
I've written custom prompts for several boxes but this one has an error I just can't identify and need a second set of eyes to help solve it.
I've set the following as my prompt: PS1="[e[30;42m]u@h[e[0m][e[30;47m] #][e[0m][e[32;1;40m]w>[e[0m] "
(hostname/un obscured & image enlarged slightly to make it easier to read.)
Everything looks fine initially as you can see here:url
1- It sets the username@host in back on green text.
2- It then changes to an off-white an prints the command number for the terminal.
3- Next, changes to a green on black font and prints the working directory.
4- Finally is prints a ">" character and a space.
The problem occurs when I try to "up arrow" to reuse and/or edit a prior command. It prints the prior command fine, but if I arrow over to edit the command sometimes the first character can not be deleted from displaying as you can see in the following composite screen-shot
url
Here I did a simple ps and piped it through grep. After getting the output, I up-arrow to repeat the command. As you can see by the second section the cursor only goes back to the "s" in ps. The "p" can not be deleted. Hitting enter just displays a new line, so the "p" was just a ghost being displayed and not really there.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe first step of my project is to figure out what music files are in my Music folder.
Here is the beginning of my script. If I put the script in the Music folder, it works and generates my 'catalog' file. However, if I put the script in a different directory (say, my Scripts directory), I don't get any errors, but I also get no 'catalog' file.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
##find /usr/src -not ( -name "*,v" -o -name ".*,v" )
find /home/XX/Music -type f -print -name '*.mp3' > catalog
why do I not get my 'catalog' file if I place the script in a different directory?

According to the Bash man pages, Quote: HOSTFILE Contains the name of a file in the same format as /etc/hosts that should be read when the shell needs to complete a hostname. The list of possible hostname completions may be changed while the shell is running; the next time hostname completion is attempted after the value is changed, bash adds the contents of the new file to the existing list. If HOSTFILE is set, but has no value, bash attempts to read /etc/hosts to obtain the list of possible hostname completions. When HOSTFILE is unset, the hostname list is cleared.
Here's the line in my .bashrc where HOSTFILE is set:
Code:
export HOSTFILE="~/.hosts"
I opened a new bash session, created ~/.hosts, filled it with the names of servers that I wanted to expand using tab completion. then typed
Code:
ssh p<tab><tab>
expecting to get a lists of all of the hosts in ~/.hosts starting with 'p'. Bash simply beeped at me twice.
I tried
Code:
$ shopt hostcomplete
hostcomplete on
Code:
ssh bchittenden@p<tab><tab>
same results.

I've been using python/bash to help myself automate things for a long time, however I am curious. One reason I use python more is because I don't quite know how to work with user input in Bash, such as getting it to ask for input and wait, and then placing that user input into a command.
Here's an example of a script I use from time to time for converting OGG video files into AVI.
How could I write this same script in Bash? Keep in mind I am mostly self taught, so I am by no means an expert programmer.
Code:
I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:
filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };
When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.
For some reason my bash autocomplete stopped working. I get the error when I try to cd into a directory, pressing <tab> for autocomplete:
cd A-sh: <( compgen -d -- 'A' ): No such file or directory
Autocomplete works for the root user and for the other user on the machine, just not logged in as this user. The .bashrc file looks fine to me, and I didn't make any changes to it to even cause the bash autocomplete to stop working (as far as I know).
# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable
# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
What else could cause autcomplete to stop working? I log in via ssh, btw.
