View 14 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: SSH In Bourne Shell Script?
Oct 6, 2010I have a question about using bourne for a shell script. I have a script that at the moment performs a logical dump of my database, backups up the physical files of the database, and backs up everything within /var/www
I want to be able to copy the files over ssh to a remote server. However, the only way I am able to find examples of doing this is when you exchange keys and do not need to provide a password. How can you write a script that requires a password, not key exchange? I was told I specifically have to do it this way.
General :: Alternative To $0 In Bourne Shell?
Aug 25, 2010I am looking for an alternative to using $0 in bourne shell. I am in the process of migrating all my production shell scripts to a new tool that will automate execution and release of "jobs" in my production system. And this tool does not like the usage of $0. Which means echo $0 or "basename $0" returns null.

May 5, 2011I have a program that I run from the terminal that requires manual input (it's matlab in mex debugging mode, matlab -Dgdb, which starts the GNU C debugger with its own custom settings).
Every time I run this program I always type in the same few commands in the program's interactive shell before I actually start working (for example: run -nojvm; stop at mexFunction; continue). I want to avoid typing these commands and I thought I could do this with shell scripting, saving the commands in the mycommands file, then running: myprogram < mycommands
The problem is that this runs all the commands and then exits the program. I want it to run the commands and return control to me so I can run my commands. Is there a way to tell the shell to use a file or a string as the input to a program then immediately return control to the user without the exiting the program?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Dropping To Shell On Every Boot - Fresh Install 10.10?
Mar 9, 2011First off I just want to inform you that I've done a lot of research, used countless of hours on Google trying to figure out how to solve this problem I'm having. I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 64bit with Wubi on the same partition I have Windows 7. And the error I get is the: "Alert! /dev/sdb1 does not exist."
I'm able to get into Ubuntu after waiting a couple of minutes and writing "exit" in the "initramfs".
This is what I've tried:
- Installing without Wubi, still the same problem
- Adding pci=nocrs
- Adding rootdelay=90 in grub.cfg
- Changing the root location to "/dev/sda1"
- Tried using the uuid
[Code]...
"fdisk -l" shows sda1 and sdb1-3. In the boot selection screen Windows seems to be on the "sdb1" as it says "Windows 7 /dev/sdb1", and I thought as I installed Ubuntu through Wubi on the same exact partition that would be the correct root path, but obviously no. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this problem I'm having? Seems like a lot of people got this out there, and this is making me mad!
Ubuntu / Apple :: EMac Can't Drop Into A Shell After 10.04 Install
Jul 28, 2011I recently came into (temp) possession of two Original, white, 700 MHz eMacs. I have only started to play on one of these so far. Installed Ubuntu 10.04 PPC from Alternate Install CD - two times actually (because I thought I may have screwed something up the first time), but both times it seemed to go without a hitch.
After install and restart, I cannot drop into a shell, all I get is the black screen. I'm probably forgetting something really obvious, but I've tried Holding "Shift" and "F1" and control+alt+F1 (and F2, F3, F4, F5, F6), tried the esc key; with two different Apple USB keyboards. I'm really just wanting to load an xorg.conf file and reboot.
Should I have been trying to do this just after install, but before restarting? I can get into Open Firmware just fine, but have no idea what I'd do from OF except start off the CD again. I should mention I installed Debian just fine and am pretty confident MintPPC would work flawlessly, but I am trying to get Ubuntu 10.04 on here.

OpenSUSE Install :: Configure Gnome 3 Shell In 11.3?
Feb 22, 2011I've just installed the latest OpenSUSE 11.3 Gnome 3 Reload [and in so doing, by the way, replaced two other oses one advertised as something else but turned out to be what I regard as a poor imitatian of OpenSUSE 11.3 (and to add insult to injury it even identified itself as OpenSUSE 11.3 after install!) and the other a Linux distro more popular than OpenSUSE but failing to deliver a working Gnome 3 shell].
Which brings me to the subject at hand: Gnome 3 shell. I'm presently using the Gnome 3 panel (which I got after having to select the failsafe option after rebooting). OpenSUSE's Gnome 3 shell display is all jumbled up to the point of being unusable. Although I couldn't make out any legible print in the terminal (most of the Applications icons are recogniseable if rather tattered-looking), I had hoped I could still type in su>enter>password>enter>nvidia-xconfig>enter.
What do I do now to get a screenshot-like Gnome 3 shell display? I realize that this computer is rather resource-shabby, but I figure that if it'll run MintMenu, it should be able to run any other Gnome shell.

OpenSUSE Install :: Using Gnome-Shell Leads To CLI Login?
Mar 14, 2011I installed 11.3 last week and eventually got nvidia drivers working. I was quite happy how most things were progressing, then the temptation to upgrade to 11.4 got too much I upgraded today (online, not dvd) and everything went well. On rebooting the desktop came up as normal and all was good. I installed nvidia and got that working ok. I then installed Gnome-Shell and couldn't figure out how to get it working. I've been using Fedora recently and the Gnome-Shell option is available at Login. I then discovered the gnome-shell --replace terminal command and I tried it. It seemed to load ok, but as I had used the terminal, when I closed the terminal it seems like compiz crashed. I lost all windows borders and nothing was usable. I REISUB'd and started again. On reboot I got a CLI login prompt. After logging in I tried startx, to no avail. I then tried gdm start and got to the desktop again (not gnome-shell). I Alt+F2'd and ran gnome-shell --replace again and all was good - except no network I rebooted again, and got the CLI again. Went through it all again and tried to configure network (wireless) no good. I then connected an ethernet cable and tried again. That worked, but I'm not sure why - I didn't think anything was downloaded. Anyway wireless now works ok - even on reboot. However I'm still getting dumped to the CLI login on restarts.
