View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any way I can switch my desktop shell from unity to, say, gnome-shell? I can switch using other console shell I like (bash, csh, fish, etc.). Assume that there is a stable alternative desktop shell, I should be able to choose, too.
(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a shell script similar to ls, but which only lists directories. I have the first half working (no argument version), but trying to make it accept an argument, I am failing. My logic is sound I think, but I'm missing something on the syntax.
Code:
if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
d=`pwd`
for i in * ; do
if test -d $d/$i ; then
echo "$i:"

I would like know when it is necessary or advisable to write a shell script instead of shell function ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there some type of functional way to read things in the Python shell interpreter similar to less or more in the bash (and other) command line shells?
Example:
Code:
>>> import subprocess
>>> help(subprocess)

[pages of stuff to read]

I'm hoping so as I hate scrolling and love how less works with simple keystrokes for page-up/page-down/searching etc.
I am wondering if I can open a shell or new terminal thing from within the terminal in a unix/linux enviroment. Particularly a commandline only one where there is no GUI. Is this doable? how do I do it?

I have a situation where I am in a non-interactive shell. I have tried from within my non-interative shell to spawn an interactive shell but my output still does not goto me. Isn't there a way I can somehow go into /proc or somwhere and make the output my /dev/tty1? Or some way else to remedy this?The situation arises because I drop from my restricted shell environment (a sort of CLI interface), into the actual Linux shell. I cannot change the code of the CLI environment I am just faced with being in the linux shell environment and its non-interactive. Its very annoying to have to put > /dev/tty1 after every command I type.
Not to mention it seems damn near impossible to get pagers like more and less to work properly when your in a non-interactive shell.
there is a txt file :
["date"]1

["finance"]3

how to get it with shell?
I wrote a script a while back that is supposed to be run in bash. It includes a hashpling (#!/bin/bash). Some people who are using the script are having problems with it however because they are forcing it to run in sh. They are doing things like:
Code:
sh script.sh
and
Code:
cat script.sh | sh
which ignores the hashpling and runs the script in sh, making the script fail half way through. How do I make my script determine the shell it's being run in and stop running if it's in /bin/sh?
PS: No, it's not
Code:
echo $SHELL
which has nothing to do with the shell you are currently in. No it's not
Code:
echo $0
which can be used in an interactive shell but does not work the same way in a script. No it's not
Code:
ps -p $$
as this will not work inside of a script the same way as it does in an interactive shell either. Those are the 3 methods that people keep describing when searching for the answer on google, and none of those works for what I need.
I have recently put together an install script to make my life a little easier.

what is "login shell" and what is the difference between "login shell" and just "shell"?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to frequently convert jpg/png to eps. Usually I use GIMP and it works fine. I would like to perform the conversion via shell (maybe with a script) without opening any graphical window. I used the command convert of ImageMagick but the quality is poor, I assume that it is because of some parameter to set I do not know. I know the question is trivial and full of posts around but I'm wasting time without finding what I'm really looking for.

The reason I start from the shell is because I noticed that it would crash after starting up in system monitor. This problem started after I tried to remove a program from the list which had already been manually removed. When this program was unchecked, the list went completely blank. I tried to revert the list, but it didn't work. Is there any hopes of repair?

Is there a way to prevent a user from being able to login more than once. Not a one-time login, but a single login. What I'm trying to do here is in moving our email system, an email user would login to this account, enter some password information, sync up their email, and have the passwords files removed, then log off. Next user can log in to the same account.
The reason for the single login is to protect the user's passwords.
