View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Bash Command History Update Before Execution Of Command
Jun 7, 2010Bash's command history is great, especially it is useful when adding the history -a command to the COMMAND_PROMPT.However, I'm wondering if there is a way to log the commands to a file as soon as the Return key is pressed, e.g. before starting the command and not on completion of the command (using the COMMAND_PROMPT option would save the command once the prompt is there again).
I read about auditing programs like snoopy and session recorder like script but I thought they're already too complex for the simple question I have. I guess that deactivating that script logs all the output of the command would lead already in the right direction but isn't there a quicker way to solve that probelm?
General :: Automatically Run A Virtual Machine (made By Vmware In Fedora OS) At Startup In Fullscreen?
Sep 11, 2010I am an administrator of a student lab with 20 PCs. I was thinking of a way to protect those machines in the long run with the presence of some students with destructive behaviour. The most suitable solution to install a Linux OS and use virtual machines to load Microsoft OS. This way once the OS fails I can simply replace the VM with a clone that was previously made.
The point is that most students have no experience with Linux, that's why I need to load the Virtual machine automatically at login and in full-screen view so that The startup process ends up in Microsoft OS through the virtual machine (VMWare based) in Linux platform.
update : I'm using Fedora13 Linux distribution. I believe that part of launching the VM in full-screen is more difficult than automatically launching VMWare at startup. Is there some way I can tell VMWare to launch a particular virtual machine in full-screen when it starts on boot?

Feb 15, 2011I am administrating a lab in a university and every semester we need to delete all the home folders of the accounts for the next semester. I would like to make a bash script that does this automatically and having trouble with it. Note that I am writing my very first bash script. What I need to do is make a script to delete the following:
Delete everything in /home/$exp$num/$dir
when "exp" could be either "rt", "ic" or "sp".
"num" could run from 1(single digit) to 45 and dir is "profile" and "work".
This is what I tried to write:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home
for exp in "rt ic sp"
do
[code]....
What seems to be the problem is the reading of "$exp$num" as a joint expression.

Jan 11, 2011I'd like to add custom startup commands (for example starting a process, registering to a registration server, downloading a configuration file) to the Linux startup process. Those commands should be triggered on startup only. What is the standard/appropriate way to do this?

General :: Command Shortcut To ./startup.sh Tomcat?
Sep 19, 2011Every time I need to start or stop Tomcat, I am navigating to:
/Tomcat_Dir/bin
and once I am in the folder I enter:
./Startup.sh
And to stop the server, I navigate to the same directory and enter:
./Shutdown.sh
I was wondering if there was a way in Linux to alias the above described process, so that from any location in the filesystem, I can simply type in something like
StartTomcat or StopTomcat to perform the Startup and Shutdown of the web-server?

View 3 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Bash Scripts - While And If Command
Mar 10, 2011I have following BASH script?
Code:
i=0
while [ $i -lt $ARRAYLEN ]; do
if ["$META1" = "$array"];
then
META1FLAG=1
else
META1FLAG=0
fi
let i++
done
While $array contains a word like "start"
When I run the script, In the terminal I either get the response:
myscript.sh: line 3: [: missing ']'
or if $META1 contains the same word "start, I get:
myscrit.sh: line 3: [start: command not found
The purpose of the script is to evaluate a parameter that a user might include when they invoke my script, and compare it to some data that $META1 might contain. If they match I want to set a flag and later launch Xine. If they do not match, I want to set a flag to zero and do something else. I'm a bit lost as to what the responses are trying to tell me in the terminal window when I run this script.

Sep 28, 2010I am looking for a way to delete the currently entered commandline without wasting seconds on the "Backspace"-key.
For example I scrolled the bash history and have a long commandline that would execute when I pressed ENTER:
~$ aptitude search openssl | grep dev
But now I decide that I do not want to execute this command. Can I get an empty prompt fast without deleting the whole line with Backspace? On the Windows "cmd" you can just press ESCAPE and it is gone. This behavior would be what I want.
The question may seem trivial but this is bothering me for a long time now.
General :: Bash Dirs Command And +N Option?
Feb 8, 2011I'm trying to use the dirs command with the +N option. The manual says: dirs [-clpv] [+n] [-n]Without options, displays the list of currently remembered directories. The default display is on a single line with directory names separated by spaces. Direc- tories are added to the list with the pushd command; the popd command removes entries from the list. +n Displays the nth entry counting from the left of the list shown by dirs when invoked without options, starting with zero.
dirs -v shows:
0 /dir1/
1 /dir2/
2 /dir3/
However, dir +n 1, dir +N 1, dir -v +n 1, dir -v +N 1 all give:
