Is there a way to compile an Eclipse-based Java project from the command line? I'm trying to automate my build (using FinalBuilder not ant), and I'm neither a Java nor Eclipse expert. I can probably figure out how to do this with straight java command line options, but then the Eclipse project feels like a lot of wasted effort. In th...
I'm running a console app (myApp.exe) which outputs a pseudo localized (unicode) string to the standard output. If I run this in a regular command prompt(cmd.exe), the unicode data gets lost. If I run this in a unicode command prompt(cmd.exe /u) or set the properties of the console to "Lucida Console" then the unicode string is maintaine...
Today I discovered you can make less act like tail -f. less filename, then press Shift-F to start follow mode. Just like tail, but you have all the added features of less - like scrolling, searching, and the highlighting of search hits. I've been watching log files with tail for years. This just made me ponder: are there other comm...

Python, through it's readline bindings allows for great command-line autocompletion (as described in here). But, the completion only seems to work at the beginning of strings. If you want to match the middle or end of a string readline doesn't work. I would like to autocomplete strings, in a command-line python program by matching wha...
Are there any existing solutions for remote execution of commands on a windows server from Java natively? psexec.exe is not an option since the java application has to be cross platform. Even a preexisting solution using Java RM would be sufficient. Currently, I'm using an SSH client library to ssh through java into a Windows server th...
Can somebody remember what was the command to create an empty file in MSDOS using BAT file? ...
I've got some experience with Bash, which I don't mind, but now that I'm doing a lot of Windows development I'm needing to do basic stuff/write basic scripts using the Windows command-line language. For some reason said language really irritates me, so I was considering learning Python and using that instead. Is Python suitable for suc...

Is there a way to include all the jar files within a directory in the classpath? I'm trying java -classpath lib/*.jar:. my.package.Program and it is not able to find class files that are certainly in those jars. Do I need to add each jar file to the classpath separately? ...
Enterprise Architect has a way to generate the documentation in HTML/RTF/etc. that you could publish, but you have to use its GUI to do that manually. When you have your *.eap files in a CVS/Subversion server, it would be useful to have a script that would check out daily the latest version and publish it in a web server. As long as I kn...
I'm looking for the string "foo=" (without quotes) in text files in a directory tree. It's on a common Linux machine, I have bash shell: grep -ircl "foo=" * In the directories are also many binary files which match "foo=". As these results are not relevant and slow down the search, I want grep to skip searching these files (mostly JPE...
I'm trying to link an RPATH containing the special string $ORIGIN into an executable built using GCC with the Code::Blocks IDE. I've specified -Wl,-R$ORIGIN in the linker options for the project, but the command line output to GCC is wrong (stripped for clarity): g++ -Wl,-R What is the correct way to specify this argument for Code:...

Are there any good books for a relatively new but not totally new *nix user to get a bit more in depth knowledge (so no "Linux for dummies")? For the most part, I'm not looking for something to read through from start to finish. Rather, I'd rather have something that I can pick up and read in chunks when I need to know how to do somet...
