View 9 RepliesI would like to find documentation on all the available terminal commands and syntax for CentOS 5.
I have googled and looked through the wiki and found nothing about the terminal to my ability.
As for what I am referencing by commands:
sudo: I get the su means super user
cd: change directory
rm: remove, I don't know how to remove folders.
General navigation and using the terminal to create files/directories/open file editor/etc..
I for the life of me can not find the list of CLI/console commands for Deluge. I'm trying to at least find the command to change global download speed.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've got an annoying problem that 'man' and some other commands do not auto-complete (via TAB). e.g. typing: man rsyn (TAB, TAB, TAB, etc) will not auto-complete to 'man rsync' however, if i 'sudo -s' & then try the above, 'man' auto-completes everytime. (Directories always auto-complete successfully) My ~/.bashrc contains:
Code:
# enable bash completion in interactive shells
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ] && ! shopt -oq posix; then
. /etc/bash_completion
[code]....

I need a list of all the packages that are on a new ubuntu install. This is for a script I am trying to write.Does any one know where I can get this without doing a clean install and running dpkg -l?P.s. even better would be being able to find out if a package was on the pc when it was a clean install.

View 9 Replies View RelatedGood day! Just finished setting up my 11.04 home server this week. Installed GNOME initially and ended up not feeling it (a bit too slow for VNC on my Atom box). Performed sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop and then installed xfce.
Now, I can't use tab-complete in any Terminal app in xfce when using VNC to access the box. It still works properly over SSH. Have ensured that all lines referring to auto-complete are un-commented in the following:
/etc/profile
/etc/bash.bashrc
~/.bashrc
I have verified that bash_completion is installed (reinstalled using Synaptic just to be sure). It seemed to work intermittently when I changed the above config files but has reverted back to not functioning anymore.
In older versions of ubuntu I could use tab to autocomplete folder names multiple times in one command in a terminal, for example:
Code:
tar -cvf myapp.tar --exclude='/var/www/f[TAB]older-name/cache/*' --exclude='/var/www/f[TAB]older-name/sessions/*' /var/www/f[TAB]older-name
Now only the first tab works, is there any way to get this behavior back?
if you do the command conky in terminal, it starts conky ofcourse, but it also shows output to that terminal so you can't do any other commands to that terminal, Is their an option like you can do with the '&' sign in other cases? If you do the '&' sign with conky it still gives output, also the conky -d command gives output...

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just installed F15 and although different, I like it a lot. One thing I don't like, however, is the default auto-completion of environment variables in the terminal. In F14 and older, if you type for instance
Code:
ls $HOME and hit TAB, auto-complete will list the contents of $HOME to search deeper, so to say. But in F15, the terminal automatically escapes the $ sign. If you do the same as above, you get
Code:
ls $HOME
instead of
Code:
ls /home/benny/
how to change the auto-complete settings of the terminal so that $'s are not escaped anymore?
Does anyone know where I can find the complete VirtualBox .deb file for Lucid? That is the one that doesn't need an Internet connection to install VirtualBox.
I downloaded the .deb available from virtualbox.org but, when I copied it to a desktop I have without Internet connection I can't install it because it looks for a connection to the repositories.

View 3 Replies View Relatedif I open a terminal and hit [TAB] [TAB] it will display "Display all 2583 possibilities? (y or n) ". If I press y is there a way to capture the output and write it to a file? Not like it is a command so I can't just use a redirect to a file? If not I guess I could just do an ls on all locations of $PATH and capture that to a file.

What I want is a command line argument I can pass that'll read each line and pick one of those 77 lines at random, except I can't figure out how to do this. Is there a program I can just pipe the output of 'cat listofmovies.txt' to?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI've just started experimenting with SSH tunnels. I wanted a way to connect to MySQL on our website VPS but wanted the connection encrypted rather than just using PHP's mysql_connect() function and connecting to the remote IP. This seems to be working great. I'm also looking into autossh to make sure that the tunnel gets reconnected when it drops.is there a command/utility that can list the currently active SSH tunnels? Be great if there was a way of terminating an active tunnel through a command as well. Or is it a case of manually digging through the process list and killing the specific PID like I have been?

I have been successful and so the majority of my work is over. My question is simple (I think) but complex to me so... here it goes. Is there a way on one command line to "batch" convert 8 or 9 files together instead of one by one. I just don't know what to put on the command line. I took one UNIX class a long time ago and the terms pipe and such come to mind... but I forget. Any takers? That was I can write what I want the computer to do in the morning and just come back after work and voila...
