de bug cmi commands

[moonPeople]

what is the best approach to find a fix to this situation.

Code: Select all

#$ set | less
bash: set: write error: Broken pipe

also had issue with #wget , did not work to transport a plain text file from a server.


I was thinking of re loading the BASH shell thru synaptic, but ?.
Is there a de bug command to run.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about debugging that, but you can fix your problem by redirecting stderr to /dev/null.

Code: Select all

set 2> /dev/null | less

For wget I'd just use a small script

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

tmp=`tempfile`

wget -O $tmp <URL>
less $tmp
rm $tmp

Thank you for the assistance.
i am trying to get to writting scripts and to know the bash shell - herbrew, greek, mandarian and basic shell syntax all rolled in one.
as well as the basic config files that actually need manipulation.
Thank you again.
