I want to prevent "^C" from echoing when Ctrl-C is pressed. I did "stty -echoctl" which some googling results suggested. Now it echos raw Ctrl-C characters instead of the string "^C". That's not any better since it displays some funny blocked hexadecimal in the terminal window.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have always encountered this problem in ubuntu bash shell scripts that echo command in a function will be treated as a return value when used in a function. e.g.

The output would simply be xyz. Hence the echo seems to function as a "return" command when used in a function with a return value.

Press 'y' to make a copy of this result into a file or 'n' to return to the main menu.. I understand the "press any key to continue" would go something like
Code:
read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to continue.." But i try many different ways of getting the "press a particular key" function, and none of them works.
I can not copy/paste ctrl+C or ctrl+p from one folder to another with the mouse. i was trying to move an item to another folder.
I looked in the keyboard short cut and it was not there. i tried to add it and it put it in custom as disabled and I could not enable it.
anyone has a clue why 'ctrl+a, k' nor 'ctrl+a, :kill' doesn't work for killing one of screen windows? Other screen's commands invoked with 'ctrl+a'seem to work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and already am really annoyed by Firefox, which freezes my mouse after changing a tab (with ctrl+tab, alt+#) or closing it (ctrl+w). After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just spent a few days ripping out all the broken/buggy apps that are in the opensuse 11.2 official repos so I can finally get working software(openoffice, thunderbird, wine, eclipse, rubygems, rails, and a few others required getting the "official" versions from their respective websites to avoid strange behavior and outright broken functionality).
All of which makes updating more annoying and time-consuming. Why are opensuse packages so different anyway? Anyway, the last thing that I have noticed to fix is Konsole. For some really bizarre reason ctrl+z and ctrl+c do not work without a third keystroke: enter.Maybe this is something new with the KDE team, since they seem bent on making simple things that already work more complex, but given my experience with crappy packages in the suse repos, I am thinking this is the problem. I have looked over all the config settings that I can find and nothing fixes this affront to productivity.
I've been using Kaggregator in KDE-PIM, which uses Konqueror as the browserto go to links from Kaggregator.Unfortunately, Konqueror no longer seems tobe able to Copy highlighted material with Ctrl C, the way we've done it forever.Is this a setting I've missed? Or is this a new "feature" in Konqueror?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI execute an application from a script file and redirect stdin to it from here-doc like this:
my_cli << HERE_DOC
enable
configure
10
exit
exit
HERE_DOC
This works as expected, but I don't see neither the input nor the app output. The application is an interactive prompt written in C. When I interact manually with it, I see the prompt itself and responses to my input, but when I execute the aforementioned script I see nothing. I would like it to print the input and the output as if a real user was typing. Do you know how to achieve that?

user~ $ write 'this is a test' with "write" being the function, and 'this is a test' being echoed to the file. I hope I explained that well enough.

Would like to know how to turn "echo" off in a shell scripting. I wrote a shell script, testing a condition, after the condition tested. On the other line I used the echo Command to echo a line, then on the other line I used the "read" command to read an input typed. The crux here is the string or line inputed is what I would like to turn off. Distro is redhat linux.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe're going to be doing a rather large server deployment, and using the provisioning system we have in place there is no current way to just "copy" a file over to the servers. All files/scripts have to be run from the provisioning server.Due to network constraints, the provisioning system can't run a script we need to run (requires certain network assets to complete, but as soon as we modify the network settingshe provisioning system loses access to the server and can't run the script). So,our network configuration script to create the other script on the server in /root when it runs.My original method was to do something along the lines of:
Code:
#network configuration statements here
