Currently i'm doing a script for my project and I want to prevent people from exiting the terminal by clicking the "X" at the top right. when I run the script, user cannot exit out of the terminal unless the scipt finish running.
View 5 RepliesI want to have a script (tcsh/bash/python) that launches a bunch of gnome-terminals (or 1 with multiple tabs). And I want it to execute a command, but keep the shell interactive. Currently, if you type gnome-terminal then it launches a new interactive shell, but if you give it the execute flag, then it executes the command and quits (or stays open, but non-interactive depending on the users gnome-terminal settings).
I have this command which I want to run automatically before I start working. What the command does is dynamic and different for each shell. It takes arguments. So it's not something I can take care of in a .cshrc type file.
I am facing a really weird kind of issues where my boss has asked me block everybody from changing their wallpapers and put a default one there.

We created a function where you can configure the program using any web browser from a network so we do not want anybody to have access to the fedora except for out personnel.
Based on my research, I've found [URL] this guide to protect people from accessing grub and single user. I am currently researching on preventing others to clone the harddisk. I would like to know if there are any other methods to prevent people from unauthorized access to fedora.

1) Launch a terminal by clicking on the terminal icon at the top of the screen. What's that area called? The GNOME panel?
2) Enter: ~/Desktop/RexxScripts
3) Enter: regina fv2
I run fv2 several times per day and would really like to have the convenience of a clickable icon.
I'd like to make a launcher that starts irssi in gnome-terminal with just one click.

Well I get my other 2 questions answered , I have one last question that has been buggy me.Anyone know why windows use so many files just to keep the OS going and so bloated? The under line of files of windows is messy and loads self every where and very bloated with windows and windows vista and windows 7 very much so.I'm not sure if Linux /Mac OS X is like this or not .
I know windows needs to support alot more software and hardwar but is that not where drivers come in for the hardware.And programmers need to write the software for windows or Linux / Mac OS X.
I had automated some tedious commands in the terminal by writing them in a text file and placing an icon on the panel. By clicking the icon the commands ran in the terminal automatically. I cant for the life of me remember the icon command I used to get this to work.

Im trying hard to get familiar with Linux Ubuntu and Im a bit comfused on one thing.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've made custom launchers for programs that can only run in terminal. They open fine within the Terminal window, but it closes right after the program is finished, before I can read the report.
Is there a way to keep the Terminal window open, using launchers? I don't want to manually type the commands after opening a Terminal.
I just installed F15 and although different, I like it a lot. One thing I don't like, however, is the default auto-completion of environment variables in the terminal. In F14 and older, if you type for instance
Code:
ls $HOME and hit TAB, auto-complete will list the contents of $HOME to search deeper, so to say. But in F15, the terminal automatically escapes the $ sign. If you do the same as above, you get
Code:
ls $HOME
instead of
Code:
ls /home/benny/
how to change the auto-complete settings of the terminal so that $'s are not escaped anymore?
I got this script that backs up a server and then keeps only the last 10 backups and removes the rest.Problem is, the part where it deletes any backups older than the last 10, it never reaches that. I'm guessing it is because the ftp session somehow exits the script entirely, especially if there is a problem with the ftp session. But just to make sure, I'm wondering if you all can look at the code to see if I am making it exit accidentally.Here's the code. I left out data like ip address and directory/file names for my security purposes.
Code:
#ftp in and grab the file
ftp -in xx.xx.xx.xx << EOF

There are 5 copies of the same images are placed in a folder i.e. large(1024*768),medium(500*375),small(240*180),thu mnail(75*75),square(100*50) in size....
The following code upload number of Geocoded images(square size) when the page loads.I want when someone click on the any Geocoded image on the page ,it should show the large image(1024*768) of the same.And further click on the large image it must show again the square size image of the same.
Following is the actual code.It is in .js file.
I 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.
I'm writing a script to replace some text that exists in about 50 .lex, .y, and .cc source code files, sometimes more than once in a file. Sometimes the text is in a multiline C comment, and other times it's within a multiline C string.
I use sed to grab the start and end of each line and wrap the new text in the old whitespace and/or quotes and Problem is, sed is changing the characters into a newline.
Is there a way to tell sed to not process escape sequences? I tried using several variations of
Code:
To no avail. Or could it be bash?
I would give up on the script and do it by hand, but this is something that I must do from time to time.
Here's the function which replaces the first occurrence found:
Code:
When $post is printed by echo, it shows the - but by the time the file is on disk, it becomes a newline. What should I do to ensure that it stays as the characters ?
I want to know, is there any way to prevent the multi-thread process from crashing if some errors (say, segmentation faults) occur in one of its child threads? I've found pthread_sigmask() function, but that does not seem to work:

View 3 Replies View RelatedJust incase anyone is suffering from the same problem as I was after upgrading to 11.3 that there was no such file or directory in /var/lib/nxserver/db/running/sessionID. I found the answer in another forum and thought i would post it here. Basically there is a change in the openssl library used to calculate the md5sum used by nx which stopped it from connecting.
Putting
COMMAND_MD5SUM="md5sum"
at the end of /etc/nxserver/node.conf fixes the problem.

Do they directly play them either with a stand-alone player or with the computer or, on the contrary, they first create audio CDs with them? Please understand my post is not about not knowing what a FLAC file is.
