I've set some alias for bash, but, obviously, they only work on the terminal. What I want to do is to launch some applications (Alt+F2) using such "alias" - I guess I'd have to define them somewhere else, but I don't know where.

As the subject of this post suggests i'm trying to launch Ubuntu applications from a php script, i have tried different ways of doing this but without much success.Firstly i would like to explain why and maybe somebody may have a better suggestion or an alternative route...I am making a 'personal' remix of Ubuntu which will be a live CD i can use for my university work (studying computer forensics), it will basically be a minimal install with every Linux based forensics application i can lay my hands on,instead of having a huge list of shortcut's in the menu's that ship with Ubuntu I though it would be fun/a challenge to make a fancy PHP based web site which contained a database of the programs so i could search through them and find what i need by category ect and then launch those applications from the same site.I can 'talk' to Ubuntu through some small scripts i've tried but i can't launch any applications.Here is what i've got so far....
Code:
<?php
echo "test1";

I recently installed stacks for Docky using the script of this link here [URL]
Until that, everything is okay. I can drag and drop folders to Docky, and when I click 'em I can easily see it's content like in Mac OS or Cairo.
But the problem here is that I wanted to make an Application folder like in Mac OS X. I made a folder that I called aplications and there I put all the applications I have installed.
But, when I try to open an app from the Docky, it just opens gedit with info about the app I'm trying to open. Is it related that all the application's names are .desktop files? Is that an executable?
Below I leave two caps, the first is of the folder opened in Docky stacks. The second is of what I get when I try to open and application directly from stacks.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently acquired an android device and would like to be able to ssh into my machine and launch certain X applications ( Amarok, other video players)
This works well when I launch server tasks that don't require an interface, however when trying to launch Amarok on the host from a remote session, I get an error about DBUS and display obviously. Just to clarify, I do not want them to launch on the phone itself but on the host, If I start them manually while at the host II can then control them remotely fine once they are started. . .
After upgrading to Natty from Maverick I started playing with the Compiz settings (trying to get my cube back), causing the Launcher to vanish!
This means I can't launch any applications - is there an easy way to restore it?
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. I'm using the Gnome desktop (Ubuntu Classic) instead of Unity.
My problems is, when I launch certain applications, most of the time LibreOffice ones, Ubuntu desktop freezes.
When this happens the desktop becomes unresponsive to the keyboard. However the mouse pointer can still be moved around. Everything on the screen will freeze including panels and their items.
This happens only when an application launches.
I have already set up a shortcut key combination so that Ctrl + Alt + Backspace will perform a session restart. But when the above mentioned problem occurs, shortcut keys do not work (so I can't just do a session restart). So there's nothing to do other than restarting the laptop by holding the power button down.
Ubuntu 11.04. I would like to move the Applications Icon, the one that launches a window where I can view and launch all my applications. I want to move it up near the top of the Launcher Bar, where it would be more readily accessed. I've tried "clicking and dragging but the only thing I can do is switch places with the "Files & Folders" Icon.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am going through and old .cshrc file and it contains the following alias:
alias pwd 'echo $cwd'
I used to think that this is how pwd might have been implemented. But looks like thats not the case (because then this alias is meaningless).
I was trying to add new alias "alias ls='ls --color=auto'" in .profile, but it never worked I displayed all the alias that are current available and did not see the one I just added and found this among them:
lsls $LS_OPTIONS
and the LS_OPTIONS is "-N --color=none -T 0"
this is in /etc/csh.cshrc file which I do not have permission to edit.
Is there way to overwrite it?
Also I do not see a .cshrc under my home directory. Can I just make one and source it? Or do I have to link it to some source file that already exists?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know this is a relatively simple problem but no matter what combination I try for my alias, I don't seem to be able to get it right! All I want to do is scp a file from my current folder to a location on the network:
Code:
scp filename username@computername:/folder1/folder2
This is the usual layout of the command that I use, so I thought that to save time, I would create an alias or even a function which did this for me, so all I had to type was
Code:
scp101 filename
and it would copy it to the set folder on the remote computer...
My attempt at an alias looks like:
Code:
alias scp101='scp !* username@computername:/folder1/folder2'
and I have also attempted a function:
Code:
scp101()
{
scp "$1" username@computername:/folder1/folder2
}
The alias tells me that filename is not a directory, which I assume means that I have some of the syntax wrong in the alias but I did a google search and I can't seem to find a decent example of what I'm trying to do. When I load up a terminal, I get an error message about the "(" of the scp101 function - so I've obviously can't get the syntax of that right either...
I have to move our DNS server to our VMware environment. With that comes a new IP address (10.10.102.x). The current address is in the 192.168.10.x. range. Is there a way to bind an alias to my NIC that has a different IP range? I tried it and it didnt work but if i used two IPs in the same subnet range it works. What are my options?
I don't want to go around and modify all my clients to use the new IP. I have many other things running like Nagios and Puppet. Unfortunately this is going to suck and I probably dont have any other options.
