I'm using wget to automatically download the ShellEd extension for Eclipse, but am receiving an error:
http://: Invalid host name.
I have used it successfully several times before, so I think it's because SourceForge uses a mirror. I've looked at the man page for wget, focusing on referer and http_proxy, but am still unsuccessful. H...
When a script that I started in a screen is finished can I tell it to close the current Screen it's in?
If so how?
I know I can do "ctrl + a" then k, then y. To kill it but Im not there to issue those buttons.
And I tried adding "exit" to the end of the script which doesn't seem to close it ether.
I also have a script that will auto sta...
I've created an awk script and use it like this:
# grep -E "[PM][IP][DO][:S]" file.txt | awk-script
How can I modify the awk script to include the effort of the grep command (which is searching for either "PID:" or "MPOS"?

I want to have my .bashrc detect if running emacsclient would work in lieu of running emacs. Basically:
if emacs_server_is_running; then
EDITOR=emacsclient
VISUAL=emacsclient
else
EDITOR=emacs
VISUAL=emacs
fi
What would I put in the emacs_server_is_running function to accomplish this aim?

Hello,
I am trying to write a script that does a zip code look up at the USPS.
URL="http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown_zip.jsp". The data gets submitted by POST is:
zip5=YOURZIPCODE&submit.x=3&submit.y=22&submit=Find+ZIP+Code

Hello!
I want to update a large amount of SVN-versioned projects at once, using a script.
It takes very long when running update jobs one by one.
So I tried to run the jobs in parallel. It seems to work, however I'm not sure
if it's done correctly.
Perhaps there are concurrency issues I didn't think of?
Please take a look at the scrip...

Thanks

I have a shutdown script for Oracle in /etc/init.d dir

I've dragged this folder onto my Dock to use a "stack" so I can access and launch these scripts conveniently via a couple clicks.
I want to add a new ...

I need to set myself a reminder to attend a weekly meeting. The trouble with my company's standard reminder tool is that when it runs under wine, it pops up on an off-screen virtual desktop.

Hi there!
I'm trying to update the crontab from a GNU Make file.
The idea is like this: I look through the existing cron table and filter out all entries marked as mine (via the comment) and save that to a temporary file. Then I add my jobs to that temporary file and make it a new cron table. That way the make file can be run several ti...
