General :: Terminal Commands Running Behind The GUI?

Jan 10, 2010

Recently I gained interest in running command from the terminal, like rhythmbox-client --play-pause and vlc --open, but I could not find the vlc's pause command under vlc. there's a way I can have a terminal display the commands that run when I do some action. For example, when I click on pause in vlc, the terminal should show me what command it used to pause vlc. What's the closest ting I can get to this?

Ubuntu :: Multiple Commands At The Terminal?

Jan 21, 2010

I am in the process of coverting some video files to motion jpeg (Wii) files with ffmpeg (great program by the way). 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...

Ubuntu :: How Does The Terminal Guess What Commands You Want?

Nov 17, 2010

I couldn't really find a general Ubuntu discussion area. So I typed ipconfig and of course it said no such command blah blah blah. What I found interesting was that it provided a list of other commands I may have meant to use, ie. ifconfig. So what's the algorithm used to determine the commands? Is it SOUNDEX or something else?

Ubuntu :: Get Into The Terminal From Keyboard Commands?

May 6, 2011

I upgraded to 11.04 today and wanted to reconfigure so that I could have the desktop cube again. Once I started trying to switch my settings for the cube configuration compiz asked whether I wanted to turn off various features and apparently among them was the control bar on the side and top of the screen. Now I log in to Ubuntu and I get my workspace and that's it. No control bars, just the workspace. I need to know a few things:

1) Has anyone else had this problem?

2) How do I get into the terminal from keyboard commands?

3) What terminal commands do I need to bring back at least the main toolbar so I can access programs.

Ubuntu :: Show Current Commands In Terminal?

Jan 6, 2010

I was wondering if there was a way to show all current actions I am doing in a terminal window? For example if I left a terminal window open on one of my desktops, could I make it display everything I am doing so that when I receive some general error in a program, I could jump over and get some more details. I could also use it to see what commands are actually run when I do certain things.

I have a terminal window running a game server in Ubuntu 11.04. no problems at all.I also have a backup script, which simply uses cp to save copies of the level files. this is run as a scheduled task every 20 minutes.What i'm trying to do, is as part of the backup script issue a command in the game server terminal window (forcing a save of the level) before the cp command takes place.

Two days of googling and i have failed to find a solution, anyone have any ideas?one thing i was also trying to figure out is how to identify the game server terminal window, maybe by changing the 'Terminal' text at the top. is this possible?
