• Formatting the BASH command prompt

  - by Robert S. Barnes

  I would like to change the formatting on my BASH prompt from this: [email protected]:~/some/very/annoying/long/path$ to something like this: [email protected]:~/some/very/annoying/long/path $ The idea is that I would be able to type a reasonably long command on one line without it wrapping to the next line so quickly.

• Bash: Terminate on Timeout/File Overflow while Executing Command

  - by Chris

  I'm writing a mock-grading script in bash. It's supposed to execute a C program which will give some output (which I redirect to a file.) I'm trying to (1) make it timeout after a certain duration and also (2) terminate if the output file reaches a certain file size limit. Not sure how to go about either of these. Any help? Thanks.

• Bash scripting know the result of a command.

  - by Fork

  Hi, I am writing a bash script to run an integration test of a tool I am writing. Basically I run the application with a set of inputs and compare the results with expected values using the diff command line tool. It's working, but I would like to enhance it by knowing the result of the diff command and print "SUCCESS" or "FAIL" depending on the result of the diff. How can I do it?

• get bash history to vi

  - by nameanyone

  When I try to read bash history into vim, I get nothing. :r !history If I just execute the command, i.e. :!history instead of history I get a snapshot of my terminal as it looked before I started vim. How can I read the output of "history" into vim? Reading the contents of .bash_history won't do as I save history with timestamps: HISTTIMEFORMAT='%Y.%m.%d %R '

  - by Lajos Nagy

  I'd like to be able to comment out a single flag in a one-line command. Bash only seems to have `from # till end-of-line' comments. I'm looking at tricks like: ls -l $([ ] && -F is turned off) -a /etc It's ugly, but better than nothing. Anybody has any better suggestions?

  - by brianegge

  I have a script where I do not want it to call 'exit' if it's being sourced. Initially I though checking if $0 == bash but this has problems if the script is sourced from another script, or if the user sources it from ksh. Is there a reliable way of detecting if a script is being sourced?

  When working with Bash, I can put the output of one command into another command like so: my_command `echo Test` would be the same thing as my_command Test (Obviously, this is just a non-practical example.) I'm just wondering if you can do the same thing in Batch.

• BASH Arithmetic Expressions

  - by Arko

  I had used several ways to do some simple integer arithmetic in BASH (3.2). But I can't figure out the best (preferred) way to do it. result=`expr 1 + 2` result=$(( 1 + 2 )) let "result = 1 + 2" What are the fundamental differences between those expressions? Is there other ways to do the same? Is the use of a tool like bc mandatory for floating point arithmetic? result=`echo "7/354" | bc`
