csvcut https://github.com/zigazou/csvcut may be useful. It's like the "cut" command for csv input. Some other tools that may be of interest, possibly installable by apt / synaptic: csvkit and csvtool Note, I've not used any of these, and am not vouching for them, but it seems like they co...

Not a "solver" but (a variation on) the game itself, to be run in terminal window. It's not perfect but I've stopped working on it, it's good enough for me to play on my own system occasionally :-) #!/bin/bash if [ ! -z "$1" ]; then # make sure $1 is an integer ... ntest=$(expr $...

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vn -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 160k -ar 48000 audio.mp3 it works great, but only processes one file at a time. I would like a command, file, or script that is capable of removing the video on all .mp4 files in a directory and leaving only .mp3 files. can this command be used f...

This entire exercise is much simpler if you pre-randomize the results:

Yes.

Code: Select all

echo 4

Haha That looks similar to some "random number generator" code I once saw.

The "problem" is that -O is not overwrite. It specifies the output file name.
Since your source is apparently a directory, try putting a / at the end of it. Then -r seems to not complain about it being a directory. In your particular case:

Sorry if this is a redundent question. I've googled many phrases trying to find out how to do the following: use wget to download a series of pages off my local server. I know the following options: - r = recursive download of the webpages behind the index.html file - O = overwrite the previous fil...

Code: Select all

cat /pathtofile/name.txt | head -2 | tail  -1 | cat/pathtofile/records.txt | grep "?"

grep $(readline 2 name.txt) records.txt

or, if you really like head and tail,
grep $(cat name.txt | head -2 | tail -1) records.txt

if this was an exploit and it the command had sudo, you would still have to enter your password Yes. I realize I'm posting a month late to the discussion, but this may still be helpful to point out. One thing about "sudo" use is that once you successfully use sudo in a terminal, you do no...

If you suspect line-ending problems, check your file size. I copied your code at the end and have a 1023-byte file, which does execute correctly (other than paplay which I do not have).

I know I'm a little late to reply. If you've not already found a solution, here's another suggestion which may or may not help your particular case. You could put a few entries in /etc/crontab to run, say, (a) M-F at 8am (or whenever) to copy your restricted hosts file, then (b) at 4pm to copy your ...

I know it's already been asked and answered. The two problems were: 1) You were escaping the quotation marks. "/home/bobi/tmp/\"dir with spaces\"" is not the same as /home/bobi/tmp/"dir with spaces" The first has the quotation marks in the directory name, which is not w...

The purpose of the script is to request a username, if it does not exist, and then create it. But if it already exists ask for another name. #! / bin / bash echo -n "Do you want to enter a user? (s / N):"; read answer yes [$ answer = 's']; so echo "Enter the user:" read USER if ...

NOTE I'm not running Mint 19.1 Cinnamon. I do use a dual-monitor setup. My desktop is XFCE. I have noticed that the behavior seems largely program-dependent. In general, most programs seem to open their window on whatever monitor the mouse is currently positioned. So I usually position the mouse to ...

"Better" is always subjective. I'm curious why you don't just have your webserver run the dump, zip, and email in a cron job? It just seems like this is a complicated way of doing it.

2) Are there any benefits to having the `home` encrypted with encfs if full-disk LUKS encryption is also enabled? Not in a single user scenario. In a multi-user scenario it gives protection from other users (including administrators) accessing your files. Ideally, yes. However in testing (on LM18) ...

So as a new user who isn’t very technical, what would you recommend. For a new user, I recommend mint, mainly because of the forums :-) You can almost always find some kind of help/support, answers to questions... Biased? Maybe. But I don't use mint as my main o/s anymore (I do still run it in a vm...

Just a suggestion to make it a little more readable, I prefer using echo -e "blahblah\n\n" -- the \n will insert a newline for you. In fact you could even combine the command you're running along with the echo command. Such as: echo -e "Sockets:\n\n\n$(sudo systemctl -l|grep .socket)\...

By comment out I assume you mean remove/delete the swap entry line from the text? To "comment out" means to change the line into a comment. In this case, put a # symbol at the beginning of the line: # /swapfile none swap sw 0 0 This will disable the line from being run, and still leave it...
