Can't figure out why the "sort" behaves differently from yours.
Most likely your locale isnt "C" so use the locale command to find out what it is set to...
Code:
locale
Output of above command lists a bunch of LC_* variables and if LC_COLLATE isnt set to "C" then do so or just set LC_ALL to "C" which overrides all settings and sets all LC_* variables to "C"...
Code:
export LC_COLLATE="C"
or
export LC_ALL="C"
Now if you rerun the sort you will get the desired result...
Hi,
I came across a script a few months ago that allowed you to use the following script to include the current time into your prompt (useful from auditting purposes):
# Set Prompt

let SECONDS=$(date '+3600*%H+60*%M+%S')... (5 Replies)
Hello,
I have been attempting to automate the addition of SSL certificates to keychains on a MAC using the "security" command. I've noticed two things, 1 of which I don't understand.
1. If I use something like "security add-trusted-cert -d -k /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates... (1 Reply)
Is it normal behavior for a shell script that terminates to terminate its parent shell when executed with the "." option?
For example, if I have the example script (we'll name it ex.sh):
#!/bin/sh
if
then
echo "Bye."
exit 2
fi
And I execute it like this:
>./ex.sh

I had a site that sold stock photography and some guys I know set up a shopping cart and gallery system for it. One thing they did was give me an admin page (mysite.net/admin) where I could upload new images and change prices and all that. For that admin page they set a password popup prompt.

I've posted about this before, but only recently narrowed the problem down to a specific cause.
Ok, first of all, the behavior:
It occurs when autocompletion brings up its list (not when there is only a single option). Basically, if I were to type, say,
cd ~/<TAB>
I would get something... (2 Replies)

locale
LOCALE(1) BSD General Commands Manual LOCALE(1)NAME
locale -- display locale settings
SYNOPSIS
locale [-a|m]
locale [-ck] name [...]
DESCRIPTION
locale displays information about the current locale, or a list of all available locales.
When locale is run with no arguments, it will display the current source of each locale category.
When locale is given the name of a category, it acts as if it had been given each keyword in that category. For each keyword it is given,
the current value is displayed.
OPTIONS -a Lists all public locales.
-c name ...
Lists the category name before each keyword, unless it is the same category as the previously displayed keyword.
-k name ...
Displays the name of each keyword prior to its value.
-m Lists all available public charmaps. Darwin locales do not support charmaps, so list all CODESETs instead.
OPERANDS
The following operand is supported:
name is the name of a keyword or category to display. A list of all keywords and categories can be shown with the following command:
locale -ck LC_ALL
ENVIRONMENT
LANG Used as a substitute for any unset LC_* variable. If LANG is unset, it will act as if set to "C". If any of LANG or LC_* are
set to invalid values, locale acts as if they are all unset.
LC_ALL Will override the setting of all other LC_* variables.
LC_COLLATE Sets the locale for the LC_COLLATE category.
LC_CTYPE Sets the locale for the LC_CTYPE category.
LC_MESSAGES Sets the locale for the LC_MESSAGES category.
LC_MONETARY Sets the locale for the LC_MONETARY category.
LC_NUMERIC Sets the locale for the LC_NUMERIC category.
LC_TIME Sets the locale for the LC_TIME category.
SEE ALSO localedef(1), localeconv(3), nl_langinfo(3), setlocale(3)STANDARDS
The locale utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
