General :: Find The Equivalent Command Of A Gui Operation?
Apr 12, 2010
We often require to find an equivalent text command for any GUI operation. Just as an example we click on a folder (say ABC) from the current directory in order to see the contents of that directory. The equivalent command for it to happen would be->
Code:
cd ABC ls Now the thing is that we often don't know what that equivalent command will be. So I want to know that is there any way out to find it. What I want to do is that I shall perform any operation using mouse in the GUI mode(whatever operation it could be) and then I can see a log file to see what I actually did last(rather what the command would have been if I have worked in the text mode)...

I am writing a script to install a program (a GUI interface) and would like to search if the required software is already installed. This made me think of the command whereis. I was curious how the command whereis is working but didn't know where to search. Is it equivalent with a find at the most common locations?

I am comiling some programs on Linux using gcc previously compiled using cc compiler on Solaris. Below are some of the confusions:
1. There is -xildoff option in cc which is giving error "language ildoff not recognized". xildoff in cc is for switching off the option of incremental editor ild. Is there anything equivalent on gcc?
2. There is runtime link option in cc as -R but gcc just says "unrecognised option". Does gcc only supports LD_RUN_PATH?
3. There is -Xa option to force cc to chose a particular flavor of c.Its for default c and K&R C. gcc has -std option but not sure which one is equivalent to -Xa in c. It seems -std=c90?

I have a DBA that needs to be able to do a "setgroups" on Linux. He had the functionality on AIX but now we're migrating to red hat. In-case you don't know the setgroups command in AIX; it allows users to drop groups that they belong to for that login session. He wants to be able to do this so that he can drops groups for testing. Does anyone know of any equivalent commands to setgroups or another way of dropping groups for that session and not permanently?

Is there a way to specify to find that I only want text files (and not binary files)? Grep has an option to exclude binary files, so I thought find probably has a similar feature, but I've been unable to find it.

Below is the oneliner that I am using to exclude all of "." hidden directories within the same directory.
Code:
cd find . -depth ( -wholename ./.* ) -prune -o -print | cpio -oav > /media/caca/extract/full$date.cpio
it works fine but when I extract the files from the full$date.cpio archive it appears to have worked but gives me permission errors:
Code:
cd /media/caca/extract
cpio -ivd < full061411.cpio
cpio: Selection_001.png: Cannot change mode to rw-r--r--: Operation not permitted
Selection_001.png
cpio: Selection_002.png: Cannot change mode to rw-r--r--: Operation not permitted
Selection_002.png
[Code]...

Is there an equivalent command that will perform the same task as ALT+F4 keystroke? I want to create a simple script that lirc can use so I can set up a button on my remote to close program windows that pop up (like when plugging in usb thumb drives, inserting a dvd, and other windows), and avoid having to remote desktop or go into CLI to kill the window.
