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?
View 3 RepliesHow do you set the bash_history size when using the .bashrc file and setting the "HISTSIZE=9000" doesn't work?

I was installing a software in my Ubuntu 9.10 and after installation completed it prompted the following warning:
Warning: Your PATH does not point to your newly installed /home/pc/Reflex/software/bin/esorex.
To ensure execution of the newly installed software you should modify your PATH.
Note that "esorex" is the executable file and by typing its name in the Terminal the program starts.
What should I write in my "bashrc" as PATH to that program?
I am in the process of setting up an Asterisk server with Broadvoice services.

I recently installed a 64-bit version of centOS 5 alongside a 32-bit version, which I use. Turns out the 64-bit version absolutely will not boot and I'm stuck with it as my default boot option. Since the grub being used resides on the 64-bit half, I cant edit the menu file but I know theres a way to do this without it, through grub itself. I have about 29 render nodes now with this problem, and whenever they need to be rebooted I have to hook a monitor up to each one and hold its hand through the boot process. How to change the grub menu through grub itself, basically just change the default boot option and then have it stay that way?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to assign the path of a sourced sub.bashrc file to an environment variable. E.g. if I type (or execute) from a known relative location
$ source ../../someDir/sub.bashrc
the sub.bashrc should set a variable like
export MyOwnLocation=/home/user1/unknownlocation/someDir
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.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI 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?

As an example, what would I have to modify in /etc/sudoers to allow a user (say 'user1' for the example) to be able to add/remove software through yum? I'm aware of the fact that I need to use visudo and how to use the vi editor. I've Googled this topic and while I've found a number of pages on the topic, I never see many examples.

I need to modify the first occurence of 1 byt some other integer.How do i do it using shell script?Can anybode help me out with that?
I want to replace a pattern with other pattern in a textfile. But there are two same patterns,but I need two change only the second occurence. EG:
Text file is
aaaa=1
bbbb=2
cccc=3
dddd=4

Now I want to change aaaa=x into some other entry.
I want to modify a file like /etc/gdm/custom.conf from the shell or a script.
# GDM configuration storage
[xdmcp]
[debug]
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true;
AutomaticLogin=username;
But the idea is that I can add a line to a section and it check if the section is defined, (add the definition if not), the property is defined, let it undefine (erase the line), (and delete the section header if there is no property defined), etc...
I didn't find anything except gconftool-2 but it do not explain how to modify other files. (there is a shema file there).
there isn't a program/script to achieve this, but can easyly be made for every config file, If someone do something like that, with a little database of which markup use each file, it could become really popular.

My friend suggested that it is something to do with .bashrc file. I fund files like .bash.bashrc.
When I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this:
#EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play
EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play
EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY
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.
