I have a public/private key pair set up so I can ssh to a remote server without having to log in. I'm trying to write a shell script that will list all the folders in a particular directory on the remote server. My question is: how do I specify the remote location? Here's what I've got: #!/bin/bash for file in [email protected]:dir/*...
Some issue arise when sourcing one of your env file (a series of variable exporting) for instance: ... export MY_ROOT=/Soft/dev/blah/blah export MY_BIN=${MY_ROOT}/bin ... results in $. my_env.sh $echo $MY_BIN /bint/dev/blah/blah => "/bin" seems to overwrite the begining of the variable instead of suffixing it.. Any idea? By the...
The Windows API provides an API GetDesktopWindow( ) which returns the window handle But I tested with Spy++ and I find that the window handle of the desktop and the window handle of the "Windows Desktop" is not the same. As the "Windows Desktop" is a list view, do I need to do the following 1) HANDLE hWnd = GetDesktopWindow() ; 2) ...
I've taken over supporting a time- and expense-entry system. Apache's CGI. CGI programs are written in bash :) I'm going to add some features into it and exposing it out to many more users, but prior to that wanted to get some thoughts on what else needs to be looked-at first in terms of security, holes, CGI gotchas, &c. Not a lot of...

I am trying to understand a script which has the something like the following. local@usr> a=1 local@usr> echo $a 1 local@usr> echo $!a a It is printing the variable back. Is it all for that? What are the other $x options we have? Few I know are $$, $*, $?. If anyone can point me ...
This is probably a really silly question bu tI can't seem to find an answer since I'm apparently failing on keywords. You know how you can run commands from the commandline in linux if you put a line on the top of your .rb file so you don't have to type ruby myfile.rb all the time and can just do ./myfile.rb ? Is it possible to have the...
How can I make a shell script that will know where the caret is and grab selected text, so I can wrap the text in something? For example, this is a script from a Textmate bundle: <${1:p}>$TM_SELECTED_TEXT</${1/\s.*//}> It grabs the text and wraps it in open/close HTML tags. And it is variable so the second tag is mirrored as you type...

I have a process I spawn with a Cygwin shell script, and I am unable to kill it with the kill command. Even with the Cygwin kill with the -f option, I get this message: kill: couldn't open pid 1234 I would like to try to kill it with PsKill, but I cannot find a way to convert the Cygwin PID to a Windows PID that PsKill will understand...
I'm finding the scala '-i' command line option quite useful for running some scala code and then dumping me into an interactive shell so I can prod/inspect the things it defined. One thing which completely mystifies me though: why does it load and run the script twice ? For example, given file test.scala containing the cannonical prin...
Ok, I was running POV-Ray on all the demos, but POV's still single-threaded and wouldn't utilize more than one core. So, I started thinking about a solution in BASH. I wrote a general function that takes a list of commands and runs them in the designated number of sub-shells. This actually works but I don't like the way it handles acc...

I often need to automate word perfect (for work) with python, and even if my script has no output, if I execute it from without WP an empty shell still pops up for a second before disappearing. Is ther any way to prevent this? Some kind o...
Is there any application/project that provides you with a command line SQL client that will work with multiple databases and/or provides a mechanism for writing your own drivers? Put another way, I'm looking for something like the mysql command line client or SQL*Plus for Oracle, but that's database agnostic. All platforms welcome,...

After I kill vi, my terminal window is messed up (no newlines), requiring a "reset". I tried "...

I'm writing a script to search for a pattern in file. For example scriptname pattern file1 file2 filenN I use for loop to loop through arguments argv, and it does the job if all arguments are supplied.
