Here we go again analysing FASTA-files. I wonder if we are going to be mentioned in the dozens of biological research papers we have helped to create over time.

First: you come across like a teacher posing the homework for us. Actually we are all professionals here and have done our homework meticulously which is why we don't have to do more homework any more. In case it was homework given to you by your teacher: there is a special forum for this with special rules in place. Please re-create the thread there and provide the necessary information.

Second, in case this is not homework but actually your work: we do not insist on a lot of social conventions here (after all, we are sysadmins - being somewhat autistic is part of the requirement for this job), but still a well-placed "please" here and there, along with some of the common niceties called "good manners" oils the social machinery. If you ever wonder who writes the answers to your questions: it is not some clever machine and a fat server - it is actually living, breathing persons.

Third and foremost: we are here to help you help yourself. If you want a shell-script - WRITE IT! Attempts, however failing, will count. If you tried and it didn't work, post what you did and the error you got trying to run it. We will, regardless of how long it will take, explain to you what was wrong and how to do it better (actually quite like the way i explain to you right now why you need to change your problem statement) until you understand. We will also point out ways to better solve the problem, different tools, suggest sources to find valuable information and so on and so on. But we will NOT write your code for you. We are a help forum, not your unpaid programming staff.

I hope this helps.

twiglet

TWIGLET(1)							   User's Manual							TWIGLET(1)

NAME

       twiglet - observe or control an RVC-enabled machine's console

SYNOPSIS

       twiglet [OPTION]... host-specification

DESCRIPTION

       twiglet	is a program for controlling another machine's console.  It works using the RVC protocol, and an RVC server (such as rvcd(1)) must
       be running on the machine to be observed.

       Using twiglet, the a best effort attempt is made to duplicate the screen contents of the observed machine.  If the machine is displaying  a
       virtual	text  console,	the text on the console is rendered in the terminal in which twiglet runs.  If the machine is displaying an X ses-
       sion, and the RVC server supports VNC integration, twiglet will open a window that contains the current contents of the X display.

       It is also possible to control the observed machine in various ways.  With keyboard control enabled (and with support from the RVC server),
       keys  may  be  sent  to	the  observed  machine in text console mode almost as if they were typed from the keyboard.  Twiglet also supports
       switching virtual console on the observed machine.  Finally, if VNC integration is available, the X display can be manipulated almost as if
       the user were at the console.

       The  intended  use for twiglet is in training and teaching environments.  The idea is that there are student machines and a control machine
       (which the trainer or teacher would be using), with a serial line attached to each student machine.  The trainer or teacher can	then  ana-
       lyse  the  students' attempts to complete tasks, and help them out (showing them how to finish it) without needed to push them aside to get
       to the keyboard.

       This client is written using ncurses(3X).

OPTIONS

       --help display a help message and exit successfully

       --version
	      display a version number and exit successfully

       -c, --control
	      control the remote machine rather than just observing it

       -e xy, --escape xy
	      set the escape character and the escape escape character (like screen(1))

       The host-specification takes one of the following forms:

       host:port
	      to connect to an RVC server over TCP

       tty [host]
	      to communicate with an RVC server over a tty (for example a serial line); the optional hostname is for VNC integration

BUGS

       I'm sure there are bugs, but I don't know what they are.
