A cluster with a head node and compute nodes. An application with a couple of env variables (App_HOME, PATH) set in .profile (default shell sh). If I login to the head node/compute nodes on a terminal everything works fine. The correct env variables are set and the application works. However, when my application tries to do it, say ssh <compute node1> <application>, it appears the environment variables are not available. It only looks in the minimal /bin, /usr/bin type PATH. This tells that the .profile is not being read
I have been using icedove for quite sometime. Now I feel I need to also use the flexibility that mutt allows. In such a case, is there a way that mutt can read icedove mails, maybe via some plugin or other. I do not want to do the import icedove mails to mutt as there would be duplication of metadata and space.
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've already gotten into the .mozilla folder and found the profiles.ini file. My windows XP system has it's Documents and Settings folder on a seperate drive (D:Documents and settings) And I've located the profile (application datamozillafirefoxprofiles) Now all I need to do is put the path into the profiles.ini file in the .mozilla folder in Ubuntu. The problem is I don't know exactly how to format it.
In windows the path is:
How would I translate this into something ubuntu "follows?" I already have the profile name changed as well.
I'd like a function in my .bashrc file that would allow me to pass text to it and echo the text to a specified file. I know it's simple as "echo 'text' >> file," but ideally, I would want to alias the function so I execute something like:
Code: 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.
I need to source the my /home/me/.bashrc file every time I "su -" to root. Is there any way to automate this? I cannot edit any thing in the root's environment as it is shared by people.
In my .bashrc file, I am attempting to set JAVA_PATH to a local path, using the HOME environment variable or '~' symbol as shown in the following examples.Using ${HOME}
When I attempt to use ${JAVA_HOME} in a my ${PATH} javec is not found. To debug it, I tried a simple ls command:
ls ${JAVA_HOME}
and get the following error:
ls: ${HOME}/Software/java/jdk1.6.0_24/: No such file or directory
Using '~': Trying to use '~' symbol as follows:
export JAVA_PATH='~/Software/java/jdk1.6.0_24'
the ls command results in the same error, however javac is found.I prefer the '~' symbol anyway, but would like to understand why the ls command does not work for either, and why it seems as though ${HOME} is not being expanded.
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,
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.
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 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 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 successfully edited the .bashrc file to get ruby version manager (rvm) working. Now I would like to turn that setting into an alias so that if i type the word 'ruby' into the terminal it not only goes to the rvm settup but also defaults to my webdev folder which is in my user home directory and also exicutes a command that will open up gedit ready to be used as the text editor for editing the .rb files. Can this be done i would settle for some added code for the 'if then' statement: so far it looks like this:
[Code]...
I don't want to mess with the default setup on this system too much and think things could get out of hand if i am not careful. So am cautious about doing anything at this stage. I wonder if it is possibel thought to setup that whole 'if then' statement as an 'alias'. I read a few referances to alias and looked in the manual like any good newby should but am needing your help please. getting out of the MSwindows mind set and into the linux logic is not so easy but is a great experience
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]..
