Bash script won't run because hardware won't produce display
Can anyone offer any advice on how to modify the script below to work on a new system we have, that has no graphics capability? We admin the system through a serial RAS device. I've tried running the below script through the RAS and through an ssh -X session. It failed with something like "GTK unable to produce display". Python scripts however do produce menus and such on screen and I don't understand the difference. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
This script is supposed to produce a text box on screen, that our installers enter a 4 digit code on. That code is checked for validity and if it is, the script completes. I have several other scripts just like this one, all with the same problem. Is is zenity????
On the following script that I get an error when I try to execute as root:
#./mv_log.sh

logname=`find /opt/bea/wlserver6.1/config/*/logs/ -iname 'access.log0*' -mtime -1 -print`

Hello,
After seeing in a Unix cheatsheet that I could add commands into a file and run that file as a command to save on typing, i tried it with this:

Hi all,
I've somehow gained the idea that I _need_ to run at least 1 box with Solaris, but things don't go as I had planned :-)
I pulled this ancient IBM eserver xseries 305 out of the dust, and got myself a fresh copy of the required cd's for Solaris 10u7. FAIL, for some reason the box and the... (7 Replies)
I can't get any bash scripts to run in Terminal (Mac - Snow Leopard). I have the following super-simple script, and I can't get it to execute despite having the correct permissions (I think).

In a bash script I have:
LSCMD="find /project/media/ -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -name \"files*pkg\""

I figure it's the way how I'm... (3 Replies)

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
