Networking :: Automaticaly Get Current URL Address For Use In Bash?
Sep 16, 2010
I've tried hardy to grab URL adress from my firefox "address bar" with bash. Is there any way to capture current url adress(or current url location, or current domain) from any decent browser (or by listening to own traffic.)
I'm having an issue configuring eth0. I'm using ubuntu 8.10 in a virtual machine (VirtualBox). The correct adapter is being used and it has worked in the past. I've tried placing eth0 in dhcp through the GUI and bash, but always get a 169 address or 127.
I've got some bash scripts that I'm testing which operate on different screen sessions under different usernames. In order to check the status of them, however, I have to attach the screen sessions to my current terminal.
I run into problems, though; I only allow SSH to my machine from one username; the others shouldn't need SSH access. So, I log in as one user, and su into whichever user I need. Without performing a chmod o+rw on the terminal before I su into a different user, screen complains that it can't reattach to my terminal, because the user trying to make it attach doesn't have the permissions to do so.
Seeing as I forget to do this a lot, I wanted to make a script that I'd run on log-in to do this for me. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's a bash variable that refers to the current terminal - I can't always guarantee that I'll be logging in to /dev/pts/0, especially if my internet connection gets cut and I leave a hanging terminal...
Is there a variable for that or a way to refer to it in a script? If not, how do I work around that?
I recently upgraded my -current box, and now when I try to run sbopkg I get the exact error described in the following thread:[URL].. The error fwiw is as follows:
root@catbutt:~# sbopkg ERROR sbopkg: Invalid repository descriptor Line SBo 13.0 "SBo repository for Slackware 13.0" _SBo rsync slackbuilds.org::slackbuilds/13.0 GPG of /etc/sbopkg/repos.d/40-sbo.repo specifies an unknown fetching tool (rsync).
seems likely given the discussion in that previous thread that the bash upgrade (to 4.1.002) in the recent -current onslaught is responsible?
I would like to save the input of gtkterm ( what is displayed from its window) to a file, and this iautmatically. Because from GTKterm you can rsave raw file by clicking "save every to raw file manually". As it's say on the readme file, you can use "gtkterm -f filename.txt", but i tried and any file is created on the current directory.
I would love to auto-start tomboy at startup. How can I do this ? [Moderator edit: fixed Subject so nobody would expect an automatic Lunch. Is that the same as a free one? ]
This should be a simple thing to accomplish, but I can seem to figure it out. Essentially, I want to have a bash alias or function that will let me recursively grep the current directory. A while back I added this to my .bashrc:
Code:
alias rg="grep -r --exclude=*/.svn/* --exclude=*.swp"
This works fine, (and also ignores any svn and vim swp files), and I can call it like:
Code:
rg foo *
However, 99.999% of the time, I am only interested in searching in the current directory, so the "*" is a bit redundant. Also, I would say 5-10% of the time, I am typing faster than thinking and forget the "*", so grep just sits there trying to read from stdin. It's a pretty minor thing, but ideally I'd like to be able to just type:
Code:
rg foo
I've tried creating a function to handle this:
Code:
function rg(){ grep -r --exclude=*/.svn/* --exclude=*.swp $1 * }
but it behaves exactly the same as the alias above. escaping the "*" with 's doesn't work, and neither does trying `pwd` (or even a hard-coded path) in its place.
I would like to keep track of not only what bash commands I used and when, but also where they were issued from, i.e. what was the current working directory when I issued "foobar" on a particular day and time. Can we ask bash history to keep track of working directories too? I have tried to get an idea of this reading the enormous "man bash", but I don't seem to have an answer yet either way.
I have configured connection properly through mobile phone (SonyEricsson C510) by bluetooth. I get dynamic IP address and can ping everything but can't ping my IP adress which was automaticaly granted, from outside. SuseFirewall is stopped.
I am trying to write a bash script that would save the current state of my konsole terminals and sessions. I'm using KDE3.X and for some reason the "profile" save does not save the current working directories... Anyway, I would like to know if there is an elegant way to obtain the current workdir of each terminal and session ? I've managed to do something with a clever use of DCOP extended functions, but it requires me to start every konsole with the --script option enabled, and I don't want to do that.
Currently my OS is Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Desktop OS and my web server is Apache2. I have a public address 60.x.y.z and my pc local address is 10.x.y.z. I have a web app in my Apache2 which currently run in localhost(10.x.y.z).
I would like to enable the web app so that it could be browse from outside. I know there maybe some port forwarding process and some commands involved in order to do that. But I have no idea on the steps to do that.
I am working on implementing a protocol on NS2.34 .I really need help to solve this problem . Actually , I don't now whether the problem is generated by the tcl code or the c++ code when I run the simulation, I get this result :
Code: num_nodes is set 64 INITIALIZE THE LIST xListHead 34 45 channel.cc:sendUp - Calc highestAntennaZ_ and distCST_ highestAntennaZ_ = 1.5, distCST_ = 550.0 SORTING LISTS ...DONE! code....
Version 10.04 LTS. Installed desktop version and network worked but I needed a static IP address and the install configures for a DHCP configured address. I tried changing to static address using the System->Preferences->Network Connections application but was unable to get the system to come up with the network up.
So I manually modified the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. I restart the system but when I do an ifconfig, I don't see a configured IP address on eth0 (only the loopback address). If I run /sbin/ifup eth0 everything then works fine and ifconfig shows the correct address bound to eth0.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm having problems trying to assign it a static IP address. No matter what I put in the Preferences->Networking area (identifying the interface as Manual)... it still will query DHCP for an address if I run the dhclient command. I'm using to using ubuntu server where I just set the IP in the interfaces config file.
I am running my own Postfix mail server. Some time ago I noticed that most email was rejected because of the server's dynamic IP address. So I got a fixed IP address. However then I noticed that some mails got rejected due to failing the reverse DNS check. So my ISP told me to get a range of IP addresses and they could then create a PTR record for one of those addresses. That is now running but it turns out that the IP address used for the PTR record is a ... dynamic IP address. So Spamhaus PBL rejects my emails again.
I have a few external IP's assigned to me by my ISP. I have IPcop as my router/firewall. I am wondering how to bind 1 of my external ip's to my internal ip address. So I do not have to port forward, etc. For Example, 77.77.77.77 to 192.168.1.123 and on the server it see's the external IP address.
In my job I use some ethernet embedded devices. They take an ip address from dhcp server or auto ip. I only know mac address.How can I obtain ip from mac address? In other words I need a rarp packet generator.
I dont know for what reason, since 2 days, I started having this message whenever I try to start httpd.I commented "Listen 443", restarted httpd started correctly. I needed to comment "listen 443" in order to be able to start httpdWhat is strange is when I do
how i can use the cal command so it displays the current month and the next month, i know you can use cal -3 9 2007 to show the previous current and next but i just want to display the current and next.
I have a script (bash) that do some editing and stats on different logs (syslog) and output a file (html format). If i want to run the script on a file in a subfolder as the script where in that folder how do i do that?
Code:
makes a file called index.html with some stats from the syslog file.
if i run the script on a file in a subfolder
Code:
the script makes a output in the base folder, i want it to print the file to the test folder. There are multiple subolder and i want a index.html in each of them.
I have a dedicated control computer that can only be accessed with web-browser (with its ip-address). My DHCP-server gives a static ip-address to the control computer (base on its mac-address). Somehow and after some time the control computer looses its ip-address (can't ping to it any more) ... and then I have to reset the control computer to get it to pick up the ip-address ... this is not a good solution since the control computer is not nearby. is there a way to force the control computer to renew its ip-address based on its mac-address
My security software has picked up multiple port scanning detections on my router/network and only the IP addresses are available. Is it possible to find out what the remote mac address is to see if the IP source has been spoofed? I've got a couple of different IP sources which were found scanning my ports.
I don't know if my IP and the remote IP address are on the same network or subnet for that matter which is the reason for my wanting to know what the mac address is to find out if its coming from the same remote machine.
Since the upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze on my Notebook Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 with Intel Pro/Wireless 3945 ABG I have wireless connection problems.The connection breaks time to time and sometimes cannot connect automaticaly after restart. BTW I didn't change anything on the wireless or network configurations on the notebook and on the wiereless router.
