Hi All, I have a few little scripts that I use for monitoring some aspects of our application that reside in an infinite loop with a 3 second sleep and simply display the output of ps aux | grep -i app_name or mysql -e "SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G" just so I can easily watch for a few mins without hitting any keys, what I'd like to know is how ...

I have inherited a shell script. One of the things it does is parsing of a list of filenames. For every filename in the list it does following command: fs_item="`echo ${fs_item%/}`" This command (a part from doing it's job which in this case, I think, is to remove everything after last slash) replaces spaces in filename with one space...

we all create/discover new and useful commands every day (I do...) but I forget them the day after, above all those complicated command pipes.. I use history | grep but that's not enough. I'd like a program to save and categorize my favorite commands, that lets you search them and execute them easily. If you know any, that'd be cool if...

Hi, cmake advises to use out-of-source builds. While in general I like the idea I find it not comfortable to navigate from out-of-source sub directory to the corresponding source directory. I frequently need the code to perform some actions with code (e.g. grep, svn command etc.). Is there an easy way in shell to navigate from out-of-s...
