The problem is I can't use $0 as reference because the script is only sourced not executed. I also don't want to hardcode the path because the location might change and there will be more copies. Is there an easy way to create this information from within the the sourced bashrc file? I use Gnu bash 2.05b on Suse Linux 9.
After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.
I have installed a software and set the variables in the .bashrc file to avoid setting them everytime I would like to run te software. Now I have installed a new software and would like to do the same thing in the .bashrc file.How can I add the path to the new software directory without affecting the first software path.
I am curious since "Run command as a login shell" is UNTICKED (I think for all new users) under Gnome Terminal -> Menu Bar -> Profiles -> Edit -> Title and Command , BUT .bash_profile is sourced. I thought .bashrc should be sourced instead ?
When I SSH to a certain Linux host, although my default shell is tcsh, the .cshrc file under my home directory is not sourced at all. I can't understand why this happens because from my understanding, if I'm using the tcsh, the .cshrc should be sourced anyway!
I have what I hope is a fairly simple question to answer. In my ~/.bashrc file I can create this alias:
Code: alias uChmodDP='chmod -R $1 $2' #specify permissions. and the variables work fine. But I cannot seem to get any love from this alias:
Code: alias umnt='umount /dev/$1' I realize the likely problem is the variable following hot on the heels of a specific directory, but is there anyway to specify a variable in an alias like this? For some reason I cannot umount usb pen drives by right clicking, and have to always resort to the terminal to do so, which for me is no real biggie, but if I could create this alias it would be an even better no biggie to umount using the terminal.
Actually, the inability to right click to umount usb devices seems to be a Thunar issue since I run xubuntu. Using Nautilus I am able to right click and eject/safely remove devices. Using Thunar however, right click unmount always pukes back an error that the device must have been mounted on the command line or some such BS. But like I said it is no real biggie to use terminal, but an alias would be even nicer. I prefer using Thunar and Xubu most of the time b/c my laptop is quite underpowered.
I,m having a rough time getting the terminal environment to recognize my android debug bridge path (which is set in a separate hdd) I used to paste this in my bashrc, but then found that it would make the env system bonkers whenever i attempted sudoing with an option:
# Android Debug Bridge (ADB) sdk path alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH' export PATH=${PATH}:/media/Disk/Linux/Android/sdk/platform-tools/ The "alias" line was the one making me have a rough time with env. Now that i got rid of it everything is well but adb's path isn't exported anymore.
I'm taking here about tins of directories, thousands of files. I'm looking to find a command that makes me able to move the results above to another path, and to create that path once it doesn't exist like below:
I am trying to include my directory /usr/sbin in it's serch path for executable files using an environment variable. Would the input be: PATH="/usr/sbin"? And also upon start up, my shell should create the PRINTER environment variable which should resolve to the word sales...would that input be: PRINTER="sales"? If someone could help me with these two questions,
I have a problem with my script. The problem is the system keeps rebooting after I put the directory file in .bashrc. The intentional for putting the file in .bashrc is to run the script automatically after login as root, I don know why is this happen. It was working fine for the first time without putting the file in bashrc. I could break the loop after hitting the "ESC" key. would it be the script problems?
Here is my script count=20 while [ $count -gt 0 ];do sleep 1 echo Press ESC to break the operation ((count=count-1))
I want to play around my .bashrc file, but I can't seem to find a general guide to customizing it. I just want a guide that will show me examples and explain them in-depth.
If I want to modify my .bashrc file to change the HISTSIZE would the following command be for example; HISTSIZE=200? And if I want to change the DEBUG_LEVEL to 8 would the following command be; DEBUG_LEVEL=8?
I got myself a .bashrc file off the net. I checked it beforehand, didn't detect anything bad about it. One thing that's odd about it, is that several spaces are added to the terminal command line.Screenshot:Those spaces are not put there by me. The file can be found here: [URL]..
I've recently installed virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper on Linux Mint 10 LXDE. For convenience I've added the standard WORKON_HOME settings to my ~/.profile
Then I've noticed that workon does not work after login, which means the above commands were not run. If I source ~/.profile then it works. I'm really not sure what could cause .profile not being run? I've checked and I don't have .bash_profile or .
I had a situation in which the the path of the file to be copied is written in other file and I had to copy it using shell script..I can use cp $(cat /home/robert/location.txt) /media/sda1 on normal linux shell...But I am using buildroot script where $(cat /home/robert/location.txt) evaluate to nothing..is just blank..
I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I was installing network simulator 2. After installation I get the following message.
Please put /home/administrator/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/bin:/home/administrator/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/tcl8.4.18/unix:/home/administrator/Downloads/ns-allinone-2.34/tk8.4.18/unix into your PATH environment; so that you'll be able to run itm/tclsh/wish/xgraph.

My friend suggested that it is something to do with .bashrc file. I fund files like .bash.bashrc.
recently I did some changes to my bashrc file the changes are as follows export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre<version>/bin/ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jre<version>/bin
I am having a lil headache with it. Some time ego i edited my /etc/bashrc file to add some aliases and colours for my ssh console. Today i had a need to change few thing but for some reason i can't edit or delete this file any more.
