Thank you very much for your time and knowledge, the syntax error of the test statements were the problem. I'm just curious, what is the difference between:
and
I was taught to do the first when I first started to write scripting, and it's never given me any problems until this, which has now been fixed.

Also, using the "case" statement in this really made it way better. And I had never figured out how to properly use it until I saw what you wrote, so again, thank you. Showing me all of this has really improved my script and has given me more knowledge to equip me to write better scripts.

I am a newbie here. Trying to find a way of writing a script to launch multiple terminal or console windows on solaris 9. I used to be able to do this using cmdtool on older versions of solaris and it was even possible to configure the size and screen position of the window and the title. ... (5 Replies)
I developed a script in Lingon (which is an automated script editor developed for OS X) that is used to automatically restart programs only if they crash. The script itself does just that, but I only want it to load if I'm going to use the specific application that it's designed to protect. In... (3 Replies)

So, I'm in a graphical terminal (xfce4-terminal) and I was wondering, would there be a way to type a command, and it run in a new terminal window??

Hello All,
I have a text file containing output from a command that contains lots of escape/control characters that when viewed using vi or view, looks like jibberish. But when viewed using the cat command the output is formatted properly.
Is there any way to take the output from the cat... (7 Replies)

displays - Display Configuration File
DESCRIPTION
The interactive graphics programs Caesar, Magic, and Gremlin use two separate terminals: a text terminal from which commands are issued,
and a color graphics terminal on which graphical output is displayed. These programs use a displays file to associate their text terminal
with its corresponding display device.
The displays file is an ASCII text file with one line for each text terminal/graphics terminal pair. Each line contains 4 items separated
by spaces: the name of the port attached to a text terminal, the name of the port attached to the associated graphics terminal, the phos-
phor type of the graphics terminal's monitor, and the type of graphics terminal.
An applications program may use the phosphor type to select a color map tuned to the monitor's characteristics. Only the std phosphor type
is supported at UC Berkeley.
The graphics terminal type specifies the device driver a program should use when communicating with its graphics terminal. Magic supports
types UCB512, AED1024, and SUN120. Other programs may recognize different display types. See the manual entry for your specific applica-
tion for more information.
A sample displays file is:
/dev/ttyi1 /dev/ttyi0 std UCB512
/dev/ttyj0 /dev/ttyj1 std UCB512
/dev/ttyjf /dev/ttyhf std UCB512
/dev/ttyhb /dev/ttyhc std UCB512
/dev/ttyhc /dev/ttyhb std UCB512 (R)
In this example, /dev/ttyi1 connects to a text terminal. An associated UCB512 graphics terminal with standard phosphor is connected to
/dev/ttyi0.
FILES
Magic uses the displays file ~cad/lib/displays. Gremlin looks in /usr/local/displays.
