Software :: Get Bash To Reread The Bashrc File?
I have a quick question regarding the Bash shell and bashrc file. If I make some changes to my bashrc file, is there a way of making Bash reread the file without quiting and restarting my terminal emulator?

Fedora :: Create A Shell Script File With Two Functions - Bash Scripting & /etc/bashrc
how come I can create a shell script file with two functions, I can execute the file, but when running declare -f, the functions are not on memory, and when invoking the function bash returns invalid. In the other hand, I can copy & paste the two functions at the end of my /etc/bashrc file.... then I can called the function by name.... and the commands within that function run on my session. here is a print of all my bash packets: [Code].... Does Fedora has restrictions on shell scripting? I haven't touch bash in seven years, so if things have change on it I'm behind on it, and sorry for my ignorance.

General :: Get Path Of Sourced Bashrc File?
I want to assign the path of a sourced sub.bashrc file to an environment variable. E.g. if I type (or execute) from a known relative location $ source ../../someDir/sub.bashrc the sub.bashrc should set a variable like export MyOwnLocation=/home/user1/unknownlocation/someDir The problem is I can't use $0 as reference because the script is only sourced not executed. I also don't want to hardcode the path because the location might change and there will be more copies. Is there an easy way to create this information from within the the sourced bashrc file? I use Gnu bash 2.05b on Suse Linux 9.

General :: Script After Putting The File In Bashrc?
I have a problem with my script. The problem is the system keeps rebooting after I put the directory file in .bashrc. The intentional for putting the file in .bashrc is to run the script automatically after login as root, I don know why is this happen. It was working fine for the first time without putting the file in bashrc. I could break the loop after hitting the "ESC" key. would it be the script problems? Here is my script count=20 while [ $count -gt 0 ];do sleep 1 echo Press ESC to break the operation ((count=count-1)) [Code]...

Fedora :: Add Path In .bashrc By Commenting Out Old Path And Adding New One - Command Source ~/bashrc
When I add some path in .bashrc by commenting out old path and adding new one like this: #EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/old_play EXPORT HOME_PLAY=/home/gem/play EXPORT PATH=$PATH:HOME_PLAY After saving above changes, I enter the command: source ~/.bashrc Now if I do echo $PATH, the path shows both the old PLAY_HOME and new PLAY_HOME. This is really bad and messes up a lot of things in my project. This problem only goes away if I logout or reboot, a rather very long process. What is happening is that the old path is added to new path element and the old path includes the old path element you want to remove.

Fedora :: Gparted - Kernel Unable To Reread Partition Table On Disks
When I start gparted, to see if I can add extra harddisk where all my data is, I get the next error: Code: [root# gparted libparted : 1.9.0 The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/sda (Device or resource busy). This means Linux won't know anything about the modifications you made until you reboot. You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/sda. I can start fedora 12 x64 amd whitout any problem. My partition layout on a single disk (80 gb sata maxtor) for the system is: Code: / /home swap When I try to mount one of the extra disks (samsung spinpoint 1 tb, I have 4) I get to next error: Code: root# mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 mount: you must specify the filesystem type If I add the option with the filesystem I get: Code: root# mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist In gparted, when I select just a flag option, and deselect, press ok, the disk is forced to be reread by the program. After that I can also mount it. When I use any of the programs linked in this post, I am able to mount the disks whitout any problem. Except after a reboot, I get the same problem. SO whit each reboot, or poweroff, I need to do a re-read of the disks. The system is fedora 12 x64 for amd, installed from a live cd, the rest whit yums groupinstall, the latest kernel.

Ubuntu :: Tell Kernel To Reread Partition Table While One Partition Mounted
Is there a program that will reread the partition table and update the kernel even if one of the unmodified partitions is mounted? I installed my system on one partition, then I added another with free space. Now I want to format the second partition, but the kernel doesn't know about it yet. I tried sfdisk -R /dev/sda, but it refuses while the root partition is mounted. Is there anyway I can avoid rebooting?

Ubuntu :: Help With Bin File - Error Message - Bash - /hldsupdatetool.bin - No Such File Or Directory
I am new to Linux and I wanted to setup a dedicated game server on my notebook. I've installed Ubuntu 9.04. I than created a directory named /home/phlex/kfserver. I downloaded the application binary from Steam. I changed the file permission with chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin and now the file attributes are -rwxr-xr-x. The problem is when I try to run the binary file. If I type ./hldsupdatetool.bin I get an error message "-bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory. It seems the OS can't find the file. I've downloaded the file several times thinking it may have been corrupt but it's not. I can delete the file, I can rename it and so the file is there. Sometimes Linux can be aggravating to use.
