Gnome run command source .bashrc

Hi, after using just xmonad for a long time I'm now trying to get gnome and xmonad to play nicely together. I am starting my gnome-xmonad session from GDM which was started with runlevel 5 in inittab--I followed the wiki. Now in gnome, the run command dialogue (alt-f2) does not seem to source my ~/.bashrc. I use an xmonad run util and under gnome-xmonad that run util does not source my ~/.bashrc either. I have my PATH specified in my .bashrc but I cannot run the commands that rely on the path set in .bashrc. I do have a ~/.bash_profile which sources ~/.bashrc, so that is not the issue. In a terminal, my path is fine, but not from those run dialogues. The xmonad run util worked fine when I would start xmonad with startx. Any advice on how to get gnome to source my ~/.bashrc?

I don't know about sourcing your .bashrc in gnome, but you are probably better off moving your PATH definition to your .bash_profile, before you source the .bashrc.

Rc.local, run command as regular user?

I want to run a command at startup that can't safely be run as root (and I don't want it to be anyway). The only way I know of to execute a command at startup is rc.local, but that will run the command as root. I know sudo can be used to run commands as other users. If I use sudo to change what user the startup command is running as, will that be safe? In other words, will that effectively make it as if it was being run by a regular user instead of root? Or is there a better way of doing this? Thanks.

You can also put it in your .bashrc, so it will be executed every time you log in. For example, I have it set to mount my external disc if it's plugged but not mounted:
if [[ -r /dev/disk/by-label/disco-externo && `mount | grep disco-externo | wc -l` -eq 0 ]]
then
sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/disco-externo /mnt/disco-externo
fi
If you put the sudo away you can start any command as a regular user under certain circumstances.

[solved] hook to run commands when user logs in? (before bash profile)

Is there any way to run commands when a user logs in but before the bash profile is sourced?
For example, I have a user account with a home directory on /tmp. When the user logs in, the home directory might not exist so there will be no .bash_profile to source. I want to run a script to create the directory if necessary and copy some files into it. How can that be done?
I thought of putting something in /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/, but I would like to run something before the user's shell and environment become active.
I can use /etc/rc.local to do what I want, but I would prefer a hook to ensure that everything is set right when the user logs in.
Any ideas?
*edit*
Solution
In my case, I found that I could write my own shell script and set it as a login shell. In the script, I can configure everything I need before launching the interactive shell, then clean up anything after it exits.

Thanks, dammannj. PAM could probably do what I need but I think I have found a simpler solution (see original post).

Help required with Gnome 3 Input Sources

I used CapsLock before gnome 3.6 upgrade all working fine, however new Input Sources broke my system a little bit
I fixed my CapsLock by dconf-editor org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options ['grp:caps_toggle', 'grp_switch', 'grp_led:caps'], but I can't get work
- language switch indicator not working
- show-flags does nothing anymore
Any help fit is required because of usability issues

Also, with Gnome 3.6 it's no longer possible to switch layouts with the Caps key. That setting is not available even in gnome-tweak-tool.
I figured out how to do make the settings a lot more flexible, and fix all the layout bugs introduced by 3.6. This is done by configuring everything through setxkbmap and not letting gnome interfere with the settings.
Remove all input sources, and the typing shortcuts from gnome keyboard settings window.
Open dconf-editor and remove everything from "org\gnome\desktop\input-sources\xkb-options". I was not able to set it to nothing, but setting it to ['grp_led:caps'] worked. These 2 steps were needed not to interfere with the config described below.
Install kbdd-git from aur, if you want separate layout for each window.
Create a script with preferred setxkbmap settings. Here is mine, setting Caps to switch languages, and swapping alt and win keys on MacBook.
#!/bin/sh
setxkbmap -layout us,ru
setxkbmap -option 'grp:caps_toggle'
setxkbmap -option 'altwin:swap_lalt_lwin'
# kbdd is needed to keep separate layout for each window.
`which kbdd` && kbdd
Launch gnome-session-properties and add this script to the list.

BUG: Run command does not follow current project

The Debug command respects which project is currently active, i.e. selected by the user in the project folder.
The Run command, however, does not.
Version 11.1.1.0.31.51.56
Workaround:
Choose a class file with a main method, then issue run.

Hi,

No "Run" command (FB4 standalone, Mac OS X)

I downloaded FB4 and installed it as standalone. I can't find a "Run" command that works anywhere in the program's menus or toolbars.
I had Eclipse (the Cocoa version, hence why I installed FB4 as standalone) and parts of Adobe CS4 Master Collection already installed on this computer. I am positive I'm running the copy of Eclipse that was installed with FB4, rather than my exlsting copy.
Here are images of my toolbar and the "Run" menu.
How can I configure FB4 to allow me to test my AS3 programs?

Hmm, perhaps I spoke too soon.
The run commands are available in the program's default workspace. They disappear when I switch to another workspace (in this case, example files from a lynda.com course).
Maybe I should do some more research on my end...

Using computer variables in task sequence "Run Command Line"

I am attempting to deploy VMs through VMware's vRealize Automation tool using CM. The process creates a CM computer object then creates a direct rule on a CM collection for the new computer object. During the creation of the computer object vRA creates computer
variables provided by me on the computer object. I see the computer object built and i see the custom variables on the computer object:
Name Value
dns1 10.10.10.10
dns2 10.10.10.11
gateway 10.10.10.1
ipAddress 10.10.10.2
netMask 255.255.255.0
In the task sequence the last step is to "Run Command Line":
cmd /c netsh int ip set address name="Ethernet0" static %ipAddress% %netMask% %gateway% & cmd /c netsh int ip set dns name="Ethernet0" static %dns1% & cmd /c netsh int ip set dns name="Ethernet0" static %dns2% index=2
When the TS gets to that step it doesn't substitute the variables in the command with the computer variables listed above. Looking at the smsts logs after the deployment is complete I see lines stating:
Set Command Line:...
Start executing command line:...
Executing command line:...
ProgramName = ...
All of those lines show the command exactly as it is above with the %variables% intact.
The command immediately fails with the error:
Invalid address parameter (%ipAddress%). It should be a valid IPv4 address.
Does anyone have a suggestion on why the TS isn't using the variables? I found this article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693541.aspx but its for 2007 not 2012. I wasn't able to find something comparable for 2012.

I don't know why anyone here thinks you *need* sccm osd to achieve fully automated customizations.
Customer selects base image (2008 r2 core, 2008r2 gui, 2012 r2 core, 2012 r2 gui), which should be thin and with zero customizations anyway,
vaai accelerated clone creates vm,
ip addr/gateway/dns config is injected with powercli,
customers config management engine agent of choice is installed via powercli script injection/execution (we have puppet users, ConfigMgr users, saltstack users, IEM users, Cheff users),
the clone completes in ~2 minutes and a VM is presented to the customer in less than 5 minutes
Deploying windows VMs via SCCM OSD is not only slow, but requires dev work on the customer side to get things rolling which wastes everyone's cycles including your own

BO Edge 4.0 Installer stuck on "Run command-line executable"

Hi,
Our BO Edge BI Server 4.0 Installer on Windows Server 2008R2 is stuck on one of the last steps; "Run command-line executable".
Before is was stuck on "WaitForCMSForTheFirstTime". We upped the RAM to 16GB and then the installer went past this, but after a full reset of the server and trying again it is now stuck a few steps later on "Run command-line executable". This is very frustrating, especially since there is no error message at all, no install log and the installer is just stuck indefinitely and we had to cancel it.
At that point the Central Configuration Manager shows this:
Apache Tomcat - Running
BW Publisher Service - Stopped
SAP BO Mobile Authentication Server - Stopped
SAP BO Mobile Processing Server - Stopped
Server Intelligence Agent - Running
We can't deinstall from Windows to start over at this point because the installer says an install is in progress.
What is going on?
Help urgently needed and appreciated

Hello,
Yes, certain stages run for a long duration. "Run command-line executbale" runs for atleast 45 mins. It's normal.
My suggestion would be to leave it for 45 mins-90 mins.
Now that you have interrupted your installtion, try uninstalling it through the control panel.
In case you can't see the software there, then you have to edit registry entries, which is very tiresome.

Sonia

Cannot run command window

In Windows I would expect to call up a seperate command window with the following, but it appears to freeze up. What am I doing wrong?
import java.io.*;
public class command {
public static void main(String[]args) {
    try {
      Process runprogram = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe");
      try {
        runprogram.waitFor();
      catch(InterruptedException e){}
    catch(IOException e) {
      System.err.println("Cannot run command window");
}

What about this...
    Process proc = null;
    try
      proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start cmd");
      proc.waitFor();
    catch(Exception e)
      e.printStackTrace();
    }Some dukies would be nice next time ;-)

Run commands in new tab in Terminal.app

hello, i want to know is there a way to run commands and these opens a new tab in terminal.app.
i know i can open a new tab with cmd+t , but i have a folder with hundreds of files with the name [email protected] and each file has the string ssh://username@server...
i use these folder in the dock like a bookmark of servers that i administrate, if i set that ssh default is the app iTerm.app then every of these file i execute opens in a new tab of iTerm, but if i set ssh default to Terminal.app for every file open a new windows of Terminal.
I would like to use Terminal.app if somebody help to find a way to open these conections in a new tab.
You can try to open the terminal.app, them in safari type ssh://localhost... and you see a new window of terminal.
Sorry for my bad english
Regards
Diego.

I wonder if you're too tied to one solution. I do a very, very similar thing to what you're doing, except that I support 900 or so machines (I work for a hosting provider -- so, I'm not kidding.. promise!).
The basics of my setup are as such:
I have the host names of all the servers in a text file. In my .bash_profile I have a routine that loops through each server name and, if needed, generates a bash script named for the server in a directory I've set up in my path (~/bin/hosts). That file has the command string for ssh that I use to connect to the server in it. For example, for a server named 'foo', I'd have a file named '~/bin/hosts/foo', and the contents would look something like this:
ssh -X username@foo
This is the part I really like. I create each one as it's own bash script so that it can be found and indexed by spotlight, which I use as my app launcher. So, once each script has been created, all I have to do is cmd-space (to open spotlight) then type in the server name to continue. This works great except that it opens a new window every time. So annoying. As of today, though, I now have a new bash script:
tab ssh -x username@foo
A very small change, but with a huge effect. The other change is that I put the "tab" subroutine in a bash script in my path as well. So, now when it launches the ssh command it's in a new tab. Exactly as I wanted.
I'm hoping this will help you. Even if not, though, try to remember to keep an open mind. I know the "url" scheme you're using works well, but I actually prefer my way (of course.. I made it up ). Whichever way you go, I wish you the best of luck.
Cheers,

Running commands on VMs remotely

Hi Everyone
New to all of this so please bear with me!
Starting a new project and looking to compare between the use of Hyper V and ESXi.
The project is to grab vms regardless of state, turn them on and execute scripts stored on a vm drive. The script execution has to be performed / issued by a user. C# is the main underlying code but we can potentially put in references to use powershell
scripts / whatever else if we can achieve this using hyper v.
I know from doing a bit of reading on ESXi that we can do this using a number of ways - vmrun to start, stop and run commands on the actual vm itself. using other vmware libraries and APIs.
I have read that powershell commands include starting vms, taking snapshots, shutting down vms but I was wondering if we can get into the actual VM remotely / somehow in-order to, for example, run a script which is stored on that VMs C drive.
Has anyone tried this / is it do-able? - I have had no luck finding any examples of what we need.
Kind Regards,
Ashley

I have a few things that I have done historically.
Really, you have two options. a WMI (API) call or a WinRM / PowerShell remoting call.
The difference between the two is 1) security settings and 2) ease of use.
For WinRM the security needs to be more open then WMI. But, it is far easier to script as you simply open a remote session and you keep scripting along in the remote shell (the tricky part is pulling values back to the local session). With WMI
you always get the values back since you never spawn into another session.
Below is a WinRM example of using WinRM and returning some value back:
It executes a WMI command on the remote machine to fin the file I am looking for (as that is faster) and then I read the file with the script.
# This block of script executes remotely and returns the content of hte CtxSta.config file.>
$sta = invoke-command -Session $s -ScriptBlock {
$staArray = get-wmiobject CIM_DataFile -filter 'Extension="config" and FileName="CtxSta"'
# If IIS Integration is installed there could be multiples, this is the one that CSG is hard coded to use.
foreach ($e in $staArray) {
if ($e.Path -match "citrix\\system32") {
$sta = $e
get-content -path ([string]$sta.Name)
# We have returned to local execution.
foreach ($e in $sta) {
switch -wildcard ($e) {
"UID*" {
$e = $e -replace "UID", ""
$e = $e -replace "=", ""
$e = $e -replace " ", ""
$staId = $e
$staId
