I have a DBA that needs to be able to do a "setgroups" on Linux. He had the functionality on AIX but now we're migrating to red hat. In-case you don't know the setgroups command in AIX; it allows users to drop groups that they belong to for that login session. He wants to be able to do this so that he can drops groups for testing. Does anyone know of any equivalent commands to setgroups or another way of dropping groups for that session and not permanently?

We often require to find an equivalent text command for any GUI operation. Just as an example we click on a folder (say ABC) from the current directory in order to see the contents of that directory. The equivalent command for it to happen would be->
Code: cd ABC ls Now the thing is that we often don't know what that equivalent command will be. So I want to know that is there any way out to find it. What I want to do is that I shall perform any operation using mouse in the GUI mode(whatever operation it could be) and then I can see a log file to see what I actually did last(rather what the command would have been if I have worked in the text mode)...
I am teaching using an Ubuntu 10 server. The course stipulates the students use the mail command to send me assessment work, however I can't get mail to work (I did have to install it in the first place). After I end the message with a dot I get the message "send-mail: cannot open mail:25".

I can see the log of an applications and it's update in realtime. I want to uninstall the gnome and I'm looking for the equivalent command for the terminal. I want on startup tty4 for example to show me the log.
Is there an equivalent command that will perform the same task as ALT+F4 keystroke? I want to create a simple script that lirc can use so I can set up a button on my remote to close program windows that pop up (like when plugging in usb thumb drives, inserting a dvd, and other windows), and avoid having to remote desktop or go into CLI to kill the window.
I write a script to read a file which is something like a pipe (or) queue , which shows the running status.In normal case, if i open this file with cat command, i have to use ctrl+c to exit this . What command shall i use to do the same inside a shell script ? I have tried ^C in my script , but it does not exit the process.
I have a Cygwin script that connects to a web site with the bash command "curl". Phasing out Windows, I need to port everything to Linux. Ubuntu bash doesn't recognize "curl". There has got to be an equivalent.What would it be? Beneath the dashed line the top of the cygwin man page. And while on the topic of the bash commands available on Ubuntu, where could I find an exhaustive list?
I'm trying to migrate to Ubuntu from Mac OS X. I have set up a dual boot on my MacBook and I am currently working to get everything I need for my computing-life up and running in Ubuntu.
I have found almost everything, expect a speech synthesis similar to the one native to Mac OS X's.
I use the OS X speech synthesis to have text I have written read back to be, I'm not blind; just really good a missing small words. What I don't want is to have all the menus and bottoms read out, only text I have selected.
I have tried something with 'festival' and some GUI overlay (think that is what it is called) but it read absolutely everything out loud (and sounds like Amiga's speech engine, i.e. a quite low quality).
In my Mac OS X I have a really nice set up (with a voice called Alex) where I can start speech of selected text with "cmd + ; " and stop it with " cmd+' " (two shortcuts not used by the system).
I am looking for an application which can display the headers and body of all the http requests that goes from the computer. In short debian equivalent to Http Analyzer.
