View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having some problems with my wireless card. If I ping my pc with no activity on it, it just won't respond to the pings. But if I start pinging from the PC and then from somewhere else, everything works perfect. I found out this problem since my ftp service was not responding sometimes. So looking for info and checking some parameters I found the "Power Management" option in the iwconfig command. It's value is "on" so I tried turning it off and It seemed to have solved the issue. The thing is that after a reboot, it returns to it's default value. Is there any way to make this parameter value permanent?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I get/filter history entries in a specific range?I have a large history file and frequently usehistory | grep somecommandNow, my memory is pretty bad and I also want to see what else I did around the time I entered the command.For now I do this:get match, say 4992 somecommand, then I do history | grep 49[0-9][0-9]this is usually good enough, but I would much rather do it more precisely, that is see commands from 4972 to 5012, that is 20 commands before and 20 after. I am wondering if there is an easier way? I suspect, a custom script is in order, but perhaps someone else has done something similar before.

installed Ubuntu Server Edition and I've found that my first user has a bash history and I can turn on a coloured prompt by editing my .bashrc etc but new users don't have that!I did : useradd -d /home/newb -m newbpasswd newband the correct looking .bashrc file appears to be in /home/newb but it is being ignore by bash when logged in as newb. Instead I am presented with just a dollar prompt instead of "newb@server"how can I sort out my users with proper prompts?

I've been looking for how to set this up in bash with no luck so far. I can change what file the history log is written to, and how much history is saved. But it only writes the saved part when bash exits. Instead, I'd like to have bash write that file continuously as each command is entered (and maybe also do an fsync(2) to flush it to disk). That way I can see the command I crashed the box with Anyone know the magical incantation for that?
But there appears to be nothing that I can find there, in the man page, or other searches, that suggest it even can do continuous.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedBash'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?
