I'm studying Information Technology and doing Linux as part of it. One of the questions in my text book is: Describe three different ways to start a command line interpreter when using the Gnome desktop of openSUSE Linux. I can't for the life of me make sense out of it.

I am trying to figure something out as part of something else I am going to do. I was just wondering the easiest and quickest way to run a loop at the Linux command line which will make x amount of symbolic links when I need them.
I am using Debian 5.
I figure its something as easy as ~# foreach statement, then I just do a loop with the command to make a sym link.

Does anyone know a method of being able to process the complete and literal command line passed to a shell script ? I want to have the command line parameters with ALL characters (including meta characters e.g. $ literally).
So as if there was no shell to substitute or expand parameters nor applying it quoting rules.

I wonder if there is anyway to make a user-defined bash shell function global, meaning the function can be use in any bash shell scripts, interactively or not. This is what I attempted:
Code:
$ tail -n 3 /etc/bashrc
echotm () {
echo "[`date`] $@"
}
[code]....

I'm trying to write a toy linux shell. For starters this is what I'm trying to do:
1. Start a new process with fork.
2. Execute a program in the new process with execl().
3. Redirect the output from the new process from STDOUT to another file descriptor, using dup2(2).
4. In the parent process, read the output from the child process and write it to the screen.
Creating a new process and executing a program in it is no problems, the problem is that I can't seem to capture the output from it in the parent process.
Code:
//digenv
//C++arl 2011-03-24
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
[code]...

I have a Python script that I run which needs to execute under a special environment, so I would run the program like so from my working directory (~/project/src):
python manage.py shell
This opens up an interactive shell for me to start typing my own commands.I have another set of administrative activities that I would like to house in another directory (~/project/admin). The manage.py is really finicky about running from the working directory. So, to make this whole thing work, I made a script which starts off like so:
#!/usr/bin/python ../src/manage.py shell
There are a couple problems with this. The first is that it doesn't work:
/usr/bin/python: can't open file '"/../src/manage.py" shell': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
How do you specify multiple parameters to the interpreter?How do I change the working directory?

Write some simple script?
Heres what Im trying to do:
-Qjackctl has a config file which is modified each time QjackCtl is shut down. This means that whatever preset is in use when QjackCtl closes is written into the QjackCtl config file as the DEFAULT PRESET, for the next time QjackCtl starts (or at least this is how I understand it).
-I want to edit a specific line in the QjackCtl.config file, which specifies the DEFAULT PRESET. Obviously its easy to do manually, but I want to do it using a shell script which runs automatically on StartUp so that QjackCtl starts every time with the same DEFAULT PRESET, NOT the last one used.
-Unfortunately Im not at my Linux system right now (which is KXStudio/Kubuntu), but I believe the QjackCtl.config line looks something like this: DEF_PRESET=alsa (where alsa is the name of the preset)
PRESET1=alsa
PRESET2=firewire
I want a shell script which changes the line DEF_PRESET=alsa to DEF_PRESET=alsa, even when it may currently exist as DEF_PRESET=firewire due to occasions when firewire was the active preset when Qjackctl was last closed. I notice that the application in KDE that enables the user to set which applications open automatically on StartUp also allows the user to select shell scripts.
Ive done some research, as a beginner, and Im led to believe I might need to use AWK and/or CHMOD. I could have a go at writing a shell script but Im always wary about experimenting with StartUp scripts/operations because obviously if I get it wrong and make my system unusable, then because its going to run first thing on each boot, Id have great difficulty disabling it.

I am trying to find / write a shell script that will go through a file organized like this (but with thousands of lines)...
93,5.00,"contig00002",169,83,"jgi|Brafl1|100379|fgenesh2_pg.scaffold_359000019"
579,1.00,"contig00003",3,380,"jgi|Brafl1|114745|estExt_fgenesh2_pm.C_1200006"
450,5.00,"contig00007",2,352,"jgi|Brafl1|274326|estExt_GenewiseH_1.C_8420008"
...and check the region of each line between the second and third pipes (the 6-digit numbers) against the values in the first column of a separate text file in CSV format like this...
274326,"Wnt family of developmental regulators"
114745,"FOG: Hormone receptors"
100379,"Transcription factor tinman/NKX2-3, contains HOX domain"
...and when they match, replace the value to the right of the third pipe (e.g., fgenesh2_pg.sca...) with the value in the second column in the CSV file associated with that number.

I want to have a choice or more preferable pass shell as command line argument when I ssh to an linux account.i.e. If John logs in to account "zzz" on server "abc", by default definition of account "zzz" n server "abc" he get csh.But Sally desires that when she logs in to account "zzz" on server "abc", she needs the login shell to be ksh,and Rick wants bash when he logs in to account "zzz" on server "abc".What is the most non-intrusive / easiest way to achieve this? Each user can set their preference on ssh command line or create a simple alias by each shell, but not sure how to do this.
