xscreensaver-getimage-file(1) XScreenSaver manual xscreensaver-getimage-file(1)NAME
xscreensaver-getimage-file - put a randomly-selected image on the root window
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-getimage-file [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] [--name] directory
DESCRIPTION
The xscreensaver-getimage-file program is a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifically, it is invoked
by xscreensaver-getimage(1) as needed. This is not a user-level command.
This program selects a random image from disk, and loads it on the root window. It does this by figuring out which image-loading programs
are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds.
OPTIONS
xscreensaver-getimage-file accepts the following options:
--verbose
Print diagnostics.
--name
Don't load an image: instead just print the file name to stdout.
directory
The directory to search. The directory will be searched recursively, and all files in it are assumed to be images.

Why do shell builtins like echo and pwd have binaries in /bin? When I do which pwd, I get the one in /bin. that means that I am not using the builtin version? What determines which one gets used? Is the which command a definitive way to determine what is being run when I enter pwd? (16 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)

Hi all,
I am learning POSIX shell programming, and the book I read, uses the let command for integer arithmetic.
I have downloaded and use the shellcheck program on Linux.
This programs says:
In POSIX sh, 'let' is undefined.

I don't know how to start this but here goes.
I've been "using" Linux for over 10 years, possibly more and I still feel like I'm nowhere

Hi all, (mainly Neo)...
I keep noticing that the SQRT code I wrote recently for a POSIX shell keeps appearing, (the green colour sticks out like a sore thumb).
