I have a simple console program written in C and want to abort a text input with CTRL + Z. How is it possible? Edit: Here is some code (untested). #include <stdio.h> int main() { float var; while(1) { scanf("%lf", &var); // enter a float or press CTRL+Z if( ??? ) // if CTRL+Z was pressed { ...
Hello, Logged as root on a CentOS 5.3, I can't have colors in vim (7.0.237, minimal, common and enhanced rpms), even with :syntax on ... I can display colors with other commands, so I have colors (I don't know how many !) Any clue ? Thanks. ...
I have a database that I created using the CREATE DATABASE statement in the terminal and I have a .sql file full of statements creating tables and rows. I just wanted to know what was the command line to execute that .sql on the database I created? ...
Hi, My terminal somehow turned into some kind of a text-editor, I open it up and the window title says "Terminal - Login - 130x33" with no prompt, just a black window with a cursor just like any text editor, my understanding of the problem is that the Terminal.app is not running bash when it starts. I tried deleting the Terminal's pref...
I'd like to set up my Bash in such a way that I could yank text from the previous command's stdout. The example use case I'll use is resolving conflicts during a git rebase. $ git status # Not currently on any branch. # Unmerged paths: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # (use "git add/rm <file>..." as appropriate to mark...
I run test cases from maven, that is from command line. Is there a way to see a reason why test failed in terminal output? I've tried raising verbosity in testng.xml to 4,hoping that it will activate TextReporter, which seems like class that prints, well, text reports, but it didn't help. ...
Hi all, I'm developing a program like Terminal in Linux or Command Prompt in Windows, but I'm developing it on Linux, and I don't care much about portability. The program is written in Java, using SWT. The user writes the commands in a text box, and when he presses 'enter' it reads this line and interpret it. The problem is that the ...

Greetings, I recently installed tomcat on my OS X 10.5 box and while I was playing around with the ~/profile I accidentally put in a bad alias and saved it. Long story short every time I open up the Terminal app it tries to launch the alias and hangs up and is unresponsive with keyboard commands. I tried deleting my Home folder -> Lib...
I'm having difficulty getting my colorscheme to change. I've opened both ~/.vimrc and /usr/share/vim/vimrc and added: colorscheme desert ...and nothing. I noticed the color schemes are here: /usr/share/vim/vim72/colors/desert.vim (...along with a bunch or others) which seems like the wrong place so I: cp /usr/share/vim/vim72/color...
How do I programmatically change the position of the cursor in a Mac terminal program? I'm teaching a couple of kids to program and we're learning by writing a little terminal game. I've done this with C# on Windows with SetCursorPosition(x, y) so I'm hoping for something like that. ...
Hi guys, Ive got a program that runs on Mac OS 10.5.8. The program runs a continuous cycle where it mounts an image, installs a browser plugin and unmounts the image again. If I leave this program running I eventually end up in a situation where I get the following error "fork: resource temporarily unavailable". In the activity monitor ...
This is new to me a little. But my objective is to run a script that will display the directory of a network drive. I am on a mac and the network drive is a local SMB connection. I have been able to use ls ~/Documents and that lists a specificed local directory, but I am unable to get it to show contents of a network directory. BTW...
Hi all. I'm pretty new to this whole Terminal business and had things working nicely on my old laptop with Snow Leopard installed. New laptop with Snow Leopard works differently, however. When using the terminal, when trying to get auto-completion to work, it won't autocomplete for directory names with spaces in them. I know I can type...
Very newbie question! I'm sshing to two different servers, both part of the same Amazon AWS cluster. They're not run by me. On one ssh session, the terminal lets me autocomplete. On the other session, it doesn't - I wish it did. Why is this - is it an option set by the server administrator? And can I do anything about it? thanks! ...
I'm already aware of using \b and \r to move back one character and to the beginning on the line respectively. But is there a way, (specifically in python,) to move the cursor position up 1 line? I'm trying to avoid using curses, but if this is the best option then so be it. ...
I have this code: def getch(self): if os.name == 'posix': fd = sys.stdin.fileno() old_settings = termios.tcgetattr(fd) try: tty.setraw(fd) ch = sys.stdin.read(1) finally: termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, old_settings) elif os.name == 'nt': ch = m...
Hi, I'm using zsh in OS X Terminal.app and for quite a while, I've been longing for a way to jump back and forth between prev/next prompts in the terminal's output. One convenience with this would be to be able to review (and track errors at) the end of each command's output; eg. when you building stuff from source with ./configure; mak...
Okay, I have been researching on how to do this, but say I am running a program that has a whole bit of output on the terminal, how would I clear the screen from within my program so that I can keep my program running? I know I can just type clear in terminal and it clears it fine, but like I said, for this program it would be more bene...
