Ubuntu :: Fill In Command Line Prompts From Script?

Jun 9, 2010

I have set up an ssh server for myself and a friend to work on a project. It is configured to use password authentication, but I am somewhat uncomfortable giving him my password to get the files. I was wondering if there was any way to have a script that logs him on, filling in the password at the prompt. So that when "ssh xxxx@xxxxx" is run, the script fills in the prompt for the password rather than him filling it in.Of course he still could find the file within the script before it is run, but knowing his somewhat ADD nature it seems unlikely.

Programming :: Print A Line Of Fill Character In C?

May 15, 2010

As you know, in C++ you can use setfill(char c); and setwidth( int length) to fill a line of a character.
It's line making a line of a character for output

Code:
NAME DEPARTMENT LOCATION
==========================================
Pete R&D Chicago
...
==========================================
As you see, a line of a '=' character drawn to output.

I'm wondering, how can I draw this line in C using printf() to format?
( no loop or repetiton )

Ubuntu :: Ctrl-Alt-F Command Prompts Have Messed Up Output?

Nov 2, 2010

Not sure exactly how to explain it. My command prompt screens are appearing messed up.the resolution appears to have squeezed the command prompt vertically to just a few pixes at the top of the screen. The command prompt appears to also repeat several times horizontally. This is also the case with boot-up.I'm still in the experimental phases of learning how linux works, messing with GDM, and installing/installing some boot screen tweaks here and there to see what would happen.I can't quite remember exactly WHAT I did.

General :: Ubuntu 10.10 And Command Line Scripts - Error - Android: Command Not Found

Mar 26, 2011

I know my way around MS Windows much better, but I just don't feel right trying to program something for Android on a Microsoft operating system. I am interested in Android programming so I followed the instructions on [URL] to install the environment on my computer...

I just installed the JDK, SDK, Eclipse successfully (or I assume):

* When I get to Step 4 where I'm supposed to run 'android' it will not run. I get the error message "android: command not found" (I am definitely in the right directory).

** When I double-click it in nautilus, it opens up in gedit. I can set the permissions in nautilus (through the properties - Allow executing file as a program) and get it to work,

My system:

Intel i7
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat
android-sdk-linux-x86
eclipse 3.6.2

Ubuntu :: Is Command Line Invocation Of Gnome-terminal To Run More Than One Command

Feb 17, 2010

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:

Code:

#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm

[code]....

This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to

Code:

gnome-terminal -e mcTerm

Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

Programming :: Effect Of Using Eval To Execute A Command As Opposed To Writing It On The Command-line?

Jun 18, 2010

Code: cmd='date | wc'

$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?

Software :: Command Line: Chown Command Recursively On Invisible Directories?

Oct 25, 2010

I tried

Code:

chown -R owner:group *

which does not work on the invisible directories (why?). When I used ".*" as wildcard it changed all (visible) files including the parent directory (the one I was currently working in which is the "dot") . I can change the invisible directories owner and group using dophin but how is it done from the command line?

Programming :: Command Line Invocation Of Gnome-terminal To Run More Than One Command?

Feb 16, 2010

I am trying to learn how to pass more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal.

However, running with the -g option to invoke gnome-terminal, I get a "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" error.

This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to

Ubuntu :: How To Do Everything From Command Line

May 8, 2010

How can we do everything, or as much as we can do, from the command line? In particular, I am trying to get rid of the top panel in Ubuntu. Because,

1) It takes unnecessary valuable space.
2) Even if I use a huge monitor, it introduces distraction to me while working.

I created a shortcut so that with a single keyboard key I can open a terminal. For example, if I want to restart the computer, I use: "sudo shutdown -r now". Or I can even create a shorter alias. So I do not need the logout menu. But my problem is, some programs put an icon on the top panel when they are working. So, what is the best way of using command line, and getting rid of the top menu.

Ubuntu :: No Command Line / Get That?

Dec 7, 2010

About two months ago I upgraded my dual boot Linux-x86-64 Vista from Heron to 10.04 Lucid. Initially everything worked fine including wireless etc. Once I accidentally changed a few /etc permissions which caused a problem, but fixed it going into recovery mode. For the past weeks, I only used the windows. Over the weekend I tried logging into Ubuntu, the gnome would not come up. So, I went into recovery mode and typed "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" which also went through. However, after that I lost the recovery options. I had used that command very successfully in the past. Right now, I have no command line that would allow me to type something. I was wondering if there are any keys Alt+Del + something that would give me a prompt I can work with. I'm totally baffled as to how this can happen.
