Hi! To relief the problems of accessing a unix machine from behind a restrictive firewall or from an internet cafe I started to make a PHP web interface to bash. I'd like to hear your opinions and advice about my concept, especially regarding security. There is already such a thing (http://www.rohitab.com/cgiscripts/cgitelnet.html). However, it lacks interactive input to programs. To fix this I'd use a frame

I'm sorry but I can't figure out how to explain this any better than this. In PHP we have a command "require()" that obtains a file and logically places it into another file. I cannot figure out how to do this in bash script as the requirement is necessary for a migration script to obtain the code from a .cfg file and then be able for the "parent" script to run the code it "imported" from the .cfg file, much like PHP's require() or...

I'm very excited to announce shell interface to GTK+2 (2.6.1) for Bash. It read XML syntax describing the widget layout, and returns user selection as shell variable or runs shell command as callback. It's designed for simple GUI dialog or layout, with the emphasis on getting the user data back into shell. For the moment, the shell variable and command are disabled. It just prints to stdout, instead. But, you can change it easily.

Hi all. I just installed Ubuntu and I'm learning how to use the bash shell. Aside from the normal commands you can use, I was wondering if it's possible to use Python from the terminal instead of the normal bash commands (e.g. print instead of echo). My main reason for asking is that I like using Python for everything, and if I don't need to learn the bash 'language', then I won't just yet. Thanks.

I'm using Python to automate testing software for my company. I wanted the computers in my testing lab to automatically fetch the latest version of the python scripts from a CVS repository and then ask a local database server which of the scripts to run. I built the following: #!/bin/bash # Batcher will run the specified scripts.

Hi, I was wondering if any one knows of an easy way to add escape characters to an existing string in a BASH script. I have a BASH script that is failing when a string is passed with brackets "" are passed to the sed command. I am trying to put together a BASH script to create Unix safe file names. i.e. Removes spaces, special characters, etc. This fails due to the brackets.
