Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Input of char 's' is not possible anymore Post 302379223 by pludi on Thursday 10th of December 2009 12:57:36 AM

Because inputrc doesn't handle shell scripts, and even uses a completely different syntax. Quote from the LFS book:
Quote:
The inputrc file handles keyboard mapping for specific situations. This file is the startup file used by Readline — the input-related library — used by Bash and most other shells.
It's about telling the terminal that when you press the left arrow key, you want the cursor to move 1 character to the left.

NAME
bnstat - Battle.net statisics client SYNOPSIS
bnstat [options] [servername [serverport]] DESCRIPTION
bnstat is a simple Battle.net client emulator that can be used to gather player statistics. It is also compatible with FSGS servers, but has difficulty with real Battle.net servers. If no servername is specified, localhost is assumed. If no serverport is specified, 6112 is assumed. If no player is specified on the command line, bnstat(1) will connect to the server and prompt for one from stdin. All avaliable statistics for the emulated client type are formatted and displayed on stdout. OPTIONS
-b Causes bnstat to emulate a Brood Wars client. --client Causes bnstat to emulate a specific client. The following client tags are recognized: DRTL DSHR STAR SSHR SEXP W2BN. There are short options which may be used instead for the common clients. --bnetd Also attempt to gather bnetd(1) specific information. -d Causes bnstat to emulate a Diablo client. --fsgs Also attempt to gather FSGS specific information. -h --help --usage Print usage information and exit. -k --cdkey Causes bnstat to report an alternate key to the bnetd(1) server. -o --owner Causes bnstat to report an alternate owner to the bnetd(1) server. -p --player Gather statistics only for the specified player and then exit. This also avoids using login and terminal functions allowing it to be used in shell scripts. -s Causes bnstat to emulate a Starcraft client. -v --version Print its version number and exit. -w Causes bnstat to emulate a Warcraft II BNE client. NOTES
The current version is available with the bnetd distribution at: http://www.bnetd.org/ BUGS
This program assumes that the terminal will move to the beginning of the current line when the carriage return character (^M) is printed. It also assumes the backspace character (^H) will move one column to the left that character printed after that will replace those already on the screen. The terminal settings are not consulted for keybindings. The following are assumed: ^H delete the character to the left of the cursor ^J accept current line ^M (return) accept current line ^T transpose the last two characters ^W delete word to the left of the cursor ^U delete the whole input line ^[ (escape) cancel the current input line ^? (delete) delete the character to the left of the cursor SEE ALSO
