Found the issue. It was actually related to X-Forwarding being enabled in Putty. I'm not sure why, but disabling X-Forwarding solved it.

Do you mean using the "at" command?

Thanks.

Thanks for replies everyone. As I had mentioned in my first post, the script itself is run with "nohup" and placed in the background with "&". The script starts a Java process (JBOSS) and other non...

This works for me:

sed 's/\.cfg/\.cfg\n/g' | grep '.cfg' | sed 's/\(.*\)\(d:*.cfg\)/\2/'

Depending on the shell you are using you might have issues with the new line part in sed:

sed...

I'm sure this is not the best way... but it's a way...

sed 's/\.cfg/\.cfg\n/g' | grep '.cfg' | awk -F"/" '{print $3}'

One option is to use shell's filename expansion:

file[1-4]

I decided to add this here as it's related to bash (IMHO) and not necessarily to JBOSS.

The problem started happening a few weeks ago on some of the test systems that I have. When I exit my shell...

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup my sudoer file at work to have the right security, but I'm not able to refine to the level I want.

Here's what I would like to have:

I'm not trying to get the value of the variable, but use the value as a variable name.

Here's the difference:

$ _var=HOME
$ echo ${_var}
HOME
$ echo ${!_var}
/home/VMendonc
KORN
$...

Anyone knows why the following function does not work in ksh (it does in bash)?

var() # Displays var value; case insensitive
{
_var="$1"

if [ -n "${!_var}" ] ; then

Simple question. What's the difference (pros and cons) between these two:

if [ -n $_var] ; then
condition1
elif [ -z $_var ] ; then
condition2
fi[ -n $_var ] \
&& condition1 \

I was reading Bash Cookbook and it had a line of command that assigned a value from var2 to var1 if var1 was empty. Someone told me I could do the same with ${parameter}.

I'm just trying to...

Thank you very much for the detailed information Chris.

May I add that I was at last year's (2008) Ontario Linux fest and watched your presentation. It was very interesting!! :)

Hi there,


Anyone knows what would be the cons and pros of adding a script in ~/bin vs. a function in ~/.bashrc?

I'm not sure how the system keeps tracks of some of the settings loaded in...

See if this works for you:

cat test.txt | sed 's/, /\n/g'Don't forget to add the space after the coma otherwise you will end up with spaces on the new lines.


Vic.

So that's the problem. I didn't know that this was the proper way of doing it.

I guess it will take a while before I can finish the script them. I gotta learn shell before I can jump into another...

Hi all,


I'm a noobie at shell scripting (and Linux) with no experience on programing.

I'm trying to create a script that will download my xml calendar from Google, process it in the [month,...
