Thank you very much. That was confusing.

I'm trying to use Larry Wall's rename (https://www.unix.com/man-page/Linux/1/prename/) (prename) tool to rename multiple files:

$ ls -1
blar.m4mp3
BLAH.mpmp3
bar foo.m4mp3

I have a very weird problem with the gedit 2.30.3 text editor on GNOME 2.30.2 (Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS):

Any and all mouse clicks and key-presses into the gedit window are summarily ignored. When I...

Thanks for your reply techlinux, and thanks for the links which I will read.

Thanks very much for the lighthttpheaders link. Archive.org currently isn't slow, and I obviously need to run across a slow responding website to see if it does exactly what I'm looking for, but in...

Thanks for your reply. :)

I do believe that according to this (http://www.getfirebug.com/net.html), Firebug is supposed to be able to do what I'm searching for.


However, in the real world,...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum (if there's a better forum elsewhere, then I would be grateful for any pointers), but anyway: I am using Firefox 2.0.0.14 on Ubuntu 7.10 for day-to-day...

Ok, I've now looked at Franklin52's proposed solution. While I don't know awk that well and haven't understood it completely, I know that it doesn't really apply to my issue at all, and does...

I think I've sort of cracked it. I've understood the gist of unilover's solution, and I've managed to incorporate part of his approach into my initial attempted solution. Now I've got a working...

Arrgh!!! :eek: Nevermind the aforesaid, I've just figured things out -- turns out I was wrong when I wrote that the lines 11 and 12 don't contain "begin" or "end". Both lines contain the word...

Thanks for your replies, unilover and Franklin52. I intend to work through both of your suggestions, to learn from them. I am of course aware that there are probably dozens or hundreds of possible...

Hello,

I am too daft to remember how to properly feed numbers that I've extracted with awk(1) to tail(1).

The actual question is probably a lot more simple than the context, but let me give...

Hi there,

I would like to write a script which while running will kill and then execute again a task every 15 minutes.

Thanks a bunch vino. Your kung fu is strong.
As for myself, I will actually continue to read and search for a while, until I am darn sure I fully understand everything. But now I definitely know...

Well, it's not TOTALLY important to me.
On the other hand, if there is an option available and it's not working, it might confuse people. (As to me, I obviously know now. ;) )

Man, that felt a little bit like what must have felt to find out about wget ;)

Seriously, now. Perderabo: you rock.
And that's not to forget or diminish your input, druuna -- thanks to both!

Excellent! Good stuff!

btw, I found it's actually better to use:INPUT="$1"

echo "Original : "${INPUT}
echo ""
echo "Without path : "${INPUT##*/}
echo ""
