Ubuntu :: Escape A Password In Sbackup Utility
Apr 28, 2010
This is prolly a quickee, but I not able to figure it out.
I am using sbackup installed on karmic 9.10.
I am using the gui driven sbackup, and the field below needs a passwrd:
ssh://usernameassword@192.168.1.201:/usr/home/username/BAK/
This is a remote backup to a backup storage server.
Nothing fancy, just need to know how to escape a assword@ were the real password uses non numeric/alpha characters.
my passwd includes an "@" so would i use quotes? backticks? backslashes?
Using a passwd like ab34f67 will not work, i use shift'd chars like ^&*@ so forth in my passwrds.

I moved up to 10.4 which is working great. I backed up my files with Sbackup so now I'm trying to restore my Home folder but it appears that not all files are restored. I'm restoring from a "full" backup on an external drive. Dumb question: Do I need to restore all the directories (etc, home, usr, var) to get all my home folders/files restored? Or why don't all my Home foldersfiles show after restoring "Home"?
EditPerhaps I have an answer. It appears that I have to install individual folders/files. I assumed that if I selected the Home folder that all sub folder and files would be restored. Apparently not. I have restored individual sub-folders but not parent plus child directories.

It appears that backing up files is working, but when it comes torestore, with some files it works and with others it does not. When t does not, the message (Unable to finish successfully. TAR terminated with errors..) appears. It happened when usingoth compression formats of gzip and bzip2, so I tried no compression and got the same message.There was never a problem restoring the files in /home/bob/ but /usr/bin/dother directories did not work. The problems occurred in both a Dell and an HP netbook

Using NSsbackup on Ubunu 10.04 desktop. Generally all is successful - except for two things.First: If my USB WD Passport destination drive is not awake at the time the backup is started, the backup fails. But if I run ls -al on the drive, that wakes it up enough to take the backup. How to deal with this problem?Second, I have a question on the meanings of one of the commands: "format". In some examples I see "format = none", in others "format=1".What do these mean? Is this related to what type of compression might be being used after the tarball is created? Compression typethat name) is not mentioned in the/etc/nssbackup.conf file, for instance.

I am reading "A Byte of Python" and this is the 2nd time I've completely been confused about something:"What if you wanted to specify a two-line string? One way is to use a triple-quoted string asshown previously or you can use an escape sequence for the newline character - toindicate the start of a new line. An example is This is the first lineThis is thesecond line. Another useful escape sequence to know is the tab - There are many moreescape sequences but I have mentioned only the most useful ones here."In python:>>> "This is the first lineThis is the second"'This is the first lineThis is the second'>>>

sometimes there are one, sometime there are two exchanges in this log file. the 100= is the stock exchange- if there are two, they are seperated by a comma. i understand how to escape a comma in a regex, but I am having trouble with combining it.
35=8 39=1 38=1000 32=13 14=754 31=1.11 44=1.1 100=AMEX,ISE
35=8 39=1 38=1000 32=151 14=205 31=1.1 44=1.1 100=AMEX
35=U 39=2 38=1000 32=45 14=184 31=1.1 44=1.1 100=AMEX,ISE

My goal is to send escape characters from Linux to make scanner's LED blink. I've started with a simple "beep" command:
echo -e "�7"
and it worked. We are using WaveLink emulator and the escape sequences for the LED are
echo -e "�33%150;200;5L"
Linux returns me this: 150;200;5L
So, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong for the LED sequences?

I need to occasionally touch a file with the current timestamp as the filename. I would do so this way:
touch `date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M"`.txt
However, I'd like to define an alias for this. When I try adding to the bashrc this:
alias td="touch `date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M"`.txt"
the result is that the filename is the same during the entire session, since the `date ..` gets calculated just once during login...
How can I get the command to expand only when I call the alias? Or must I use a function for this?

Usually when I need to replace some lines in a file, the first tool that comes to mind is sed -i:
sed -i 's|tool:.*|tool: some-tool|'
However, it's inconvenient when there are . characters in the replacement string:
sed -i 's|host:.*|host: 127.0.0.1|' Is there a better tool for this case?

Need little advice running this command.
watch -d 'ps aux | awk '{print $4" "$11}' | sort | uniq -c | awk '{print $2" "$1" "$3}' | sort -nr | head'
I get this error message from AWK. awk: cmd. line:1:
{print awk: cmd. line:1: ^ unexpected newline or end of string
I have tried all the usual by trying to escape the single and double quotes in the command but same result. The end result should be the a listing of memory hungry processes that are scanned every 2 seconds (watch default value).

I have the following command:
Code:
(systool -c fc_host -v && systool -c fc_remote_ports -v) | grep -E '+Class Device path = "/sys/class/fc_host/host[0-9]+"$|+node_name.*= "0x[0-9a-f]{16}"$|+Class Device path = "/sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-[0-9]+:[0-9]+-[0-9]+"' | sed -e 's#.*host([0-9]*).*"#scsi-qla1-adapter-node=#' -e 's#.*rport-([0-9]*):[0-9]*-([0-9]*).*#scsi-qla1-target-2=#' -e '$!N;s#
##' -e 's#=.*node_name.*= "0x#=#g' -e 's#"$#;#g' | sort
and I want it to execute via ssh on a remote machine through a script. Therefor I need to escape it properly. Because of the massive use of regular expressions and commandline options, this is not an easy task. Is there any (online) utility that will escape that for bash use? I suppose pasting the code in vi and doing some search and replaces should do the trick. But for that I would need a list of characters to escape...

I want to read a input from user and output something like 'inputcd', which has to escape all backslashes if using double-quote. For instance, the following code would work.
Just curious if any other way I could do it without specify all backslashes? Since that takes much efforts when the sequence is long.

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and it refuses to show me a boot menu so I can select single user mode. When it does boot, it continues to cycle as X11 fails, but will not let me change into any of the consoles via control+shift+1-7 or control C or any command. X11/GDM continues to cycle as I hear my video card keep spinning up and down. In every version prior, after 3-4 fails it would give you a shell and say, ok it failed. how to boot into single user mode or escape out of this GDM/X11 fail cycle?

For a good while I used the following code to swap caps lock and escape, which is very beneficial to me as I have vim-like keybindings in most of the apps that I use:remove Lock = Caps_Lock
add Lock = Escape
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
keysym Escape = Caps_Lock
followed by xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap, which I got from http://vim.wikia.com
/wiki/Map_caps_lock_to_escape_in_XWindows. However, after a recent Debian upgrade with aptitude, this stopped working - or, it does work poorly, in that caps lock toggles caps lock and acts as escape, so I have to press it twice all the time. Is there a better way to do this with X, since my solution stopped working?

Is there a way to print a transcript generated using script that is coloured using ansi escape sequences while preserving the colours?
I am on OS X 10.6, but any tool that works on OS X or on Linux that can print or create a pdf file will be extremely helpful.

Is it possible to remove the ESC sequences in GNU Screen's output file? Things such as colours, tabs and other escape characters make their way into the log files and become difficult to decipher.
I've tried Dr. Google & Co. as well as reading the manual, but haven't been able to find anything suitable.Perhaps I've overlooked something?

Fedora 14
When I started I took the defaults and ended up with Evolution.
I have never managed to get it set up to send. It and godaddy are on diffferent planets.
Having used Thunderbird in the past, I downloaded it and it automagically set itself up to send and receive.
So now I use Thunderbird - BUT - when I click on a link in an html page - the mailto macro sends me to something other than THunderbird - perhaps Evolution - and nothing gets sent.
So how do I tell the system that when i click a mailto in firefox I want Thunderbird?
PS I think I found it. In firefox - edit - preferences - applications tab - mmailto - it said Evolution. I changed it so say /usr/bin/thunderbird - will now test it.
YES - Seems that asking a question triggers my brain on how to resolve it. Sorry to waste your time.

I have been battling with regular expressions and am a little lost. I want to find all my files that end with .la and have been trying this
Code:
slocate -r .la$
which finds them but also files like mozilla. The escaped full stop seems to be ignored however this works :
Code:
slocate -r \.la$
so why is the double escaping needed ?
