General :: Setup An Alias Or Shortcut To Do The *nix Find Command?

Apr 5, 2011

When at the command line, I find that I have to type out this command very often: find . -iname "*php" -exec grep -H query {} ; I'd love to set up an alias, script, or shortcut to make it work easier. I would like to do something like: mysearch query ("*php") (.) It would be great if the command could accept three arguments, in reverse order:

query string, file name expression, directory If the second two arguments were omitted they would default to not being included, and the current directory. Finally, the icing on the cake would be that if additional variables were included (4th, 5th, 6th...) they would be injected as additional arguments for the find command (like I could say -type d) at the end. Attempted code I tried the example below, but I'm still having trouble setting default values. What am I doing wrong?

#!/bin/bash
c=${param1+.}
b=${param2+*}
a=${param3+test}
find $c -iname $b -exec grep -H $a {} ;

General :: Setup An "alias" Command For IDL?

Jan 25, 2011

I have installed IDL 7.1 on my Ubuntu 9.10. And now the instruction says that I should set up an "alias" for it.I do not know what to write in my "bashrc" as an alias for IDL.
These are the place of the executable command of IDL:

/IDL/idl-7.1/bin/idl
AND
/IDL/idl-7.1/bin/idlde

Note that "idl" and "idlde" are the executable files which run the program by typing them in Terminal. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me in how to write an "alias" for my IDL.

General :: How To Alias A Command For Sudo

Sep 25, 2010

I have an alias that I would like to use both as a regular user and as root, via sudo. Specifically, it is this:

alias rm=trash This works fine as a normal user, and it works fine when I use sudo -i to get a root shell prompt, but if I use sudo rm, the alias does not apply. So where do I need to put my alias so that it works in one-off sudo commands?

General :: Using Shortcuts/alias Inside A Bash Command?

Jan 28, 2010

I know that using alias I can run a whole command with a shortcut. But my requirement is to use parts of a long command and in between I have to pass some user defined values.
E.g. Suppose I have to routinely copy a directory to another remote directory on a remote machine.The remote machine name is quite long as well as the directory path to which I want to copy the files into.So the command to do scp would look like this[URL]Now I want to do some sort of aliasing (say "ecp") so that I just need to pass the source_directory name and the ecp command and do my job

General :: Alias A Device For The Mount Command In RedHat 9?

Aug 9, 2011

I have a program which mounts /dev/sdb1 for which I lack the source code. This device does not exist on my RedHat 9 system and I want to create /dev/sdb1 such that it's an alias for /dev/hdb1 Can I do this? with MAKEDEV?

I need to have an alias which will allow it to mount, not create a symbolic link to an already mounted directory. i.e. 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/harddrive' should actually mount /dev/hdb1

General :: Command Shortcut To ./startup.sh Tomcat?

Sep 19, 2011

Every 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?

Ubuntu :: Shortcut Setup To Switch Keyboard Layouts

Nov 30, 2010

I am using Gnome 2.32 (Ubuntu 10.10 /x64 ).
By using the supplied keyboard configuration utility I successfully set up two language layouts and they work perfectly. Since I also often work on Windows and default shortcut to switch layouts in it is Alt+Shift (and after many years I am very used to this), I tried to setup the same shortcut in Gnome. But with a Gnome I have a problem: once I press Alt+Shift - layouts switch immediately and I am unable to do Alt+Shift+<Something> shortcuts.

So my main question is:
Is it possible to teach Gnome's keyboard layout switcher to do the actual switch of layouts only if I press and release the Alt+Shift combination without touching any other keys?

General :: Command Line Email (Gmail) Setup

Sep 18, 2010

I am pretty new to C.L.I/text editing work. So maybe its a bit old-fashioned but I am interested in learning how to send email via the command line. I am running 10.04 32 bit

Situation: I have followed the explicit and step-by-step actions at http://klenwell.com/is/UbuntuCommandLineGmail

Question: Upon completion, when trying to send a test email to myself via gmail (from CLI) I get the following error: "msmtp: no recipients found". In CLI below it asks me to explicitly pick a mailx to download. I think I already have mailx as when I type mailx I get "no mail for primary".

Here is my work
Code:
:~$ sudo apt-get install msmtp mailx
[sudo] password for:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
msmtp is already the newest version.
Package mailx is a virtual package provided by:
mailutils 1:2.1+dfsg1-4ubuntu1
heirloom-mailx 12.4-1.1
bsd-mailx 8.1.2-0.20090911cvs-2ubuntu1

You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package mailx has no installation candidate
:~$ gedit ~/.msmtprc
:~$ chmod 600 ~/.msmtprc
:~$ gedit ~/.mailrc
:~$ echo -e "testing email from the command line" > /tmp/test_email
:~$ mailx -s "mailx gmail test" xxxxxxx@gmail.com < /tmp/test_email
msmtp: no recipients found

Here is ~/.msmtprc
Code:
# config options: [URL]#A-user-configuration-file
defaults
logfile /tmp/msmtp.log
# gmail account
#account gmail
auth on
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
user xxxxxx@gmail.com
password xxxxxx
from xxxxxx@gmail.com
tls on
tls_trust_file /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Equifax_Secure_CA.crt
# set default account to use (not necessary with single account)
#account default : gmail
and here is ~/.mailrc

Code:
# set smtp for mailx
# gmail account (default)
# $ mailx -s "subject line" -a /path/attachment recipient@email.com < /path/body.txt
set from="xxxxxx@gmail.com (xxxxx)"
set sendmail="/usr/bin/msmtp"
set message-sendmail-extra-arguments="-a gmail"
