::SOLVED:: change bash prompt while in ssh

I'm learning how to use bash bit by bit, but came up with a question I'm not certain how to solve. I learned some time ago about setting the PS1 variable to customize the shell prompt, and have a nice prompt I like using. However, it would be nice to have the prompt be flagged if I'm logged in through ssh as opposed to directly on the computer itself. How could I do this?
One thought I had was to check to see if certain environment variables exist (eg. $SSH_CONNECTION).
Doing if [ $SSH_CONNECTION ]; then ... fi gives an error about too many arguments. None of the other SSH related variables seem to be just a number value. Is there a way to test for the existence of a variable in bash?

Thanks-- that got it. I was missing the quotes, so it was expanding at the spaces rather than interpreting the entire thing as a string.

[Solved] Change bash prompt listing in terminal

Hi,
I've always used c-shell for ease in writing shell scripts. I'm interested in moving to bash and just using c-shell for scripting.
In a .cshrc I can do something like this:
if [ -o /bin/su ]; then
set prompt="%{\e]2\;%t - %m:%/^g\e]1\;%m^g\r%}%B:%m%b# "
else
set prompt="%{\e]2\;%t - %m:%/^g\e]1\;%m^g\r%}%B:%m%b$ "
fi
I edited the if statement for what an if statement should look like in bash. This, however, doesn't work. I'm assuming the word "prompt" is wrong. How do I get this working in bash?
EDIT: SEEMS LIKE THIS DID IT!
PS1="\u@\h:\w#

export PS1="whatever" is the way to set the prompt in bash. not sure bout that -o are you checking for root? if so, [ $(id -u) -iq 0 ] returns true for root.

[solved]Gentoo Bash Prompt not working in X

Hi
I'm using this .bashrc from AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18418
it is said to be the standard bashrc from gentoo.
It works with xterm, but I now installed urxvt (256 color) and it doesn't work any more, my prompt ist not colored any more.
I'm not familiar with bash scripting, perhaps someone could have a look.
The Problem ist not my .Xdefaults, I tried with an empty one. I also did "source .bashrc".

[SOLVED]Color Bash Prompt help

So I have been customizing my arch box and everything has been great except for one problem; the bash color prompt. I am kind of running a color screen where I am using the same shade of green, blues, grays, etc. I would like to continue that with my bash color prompt. However it seems to use some weird numbering system for its colors that I am not familiar with. I know that there is a way to use 256 colors, but I am not sure how.
So for example I would like to have this shade of green from bash 0;32m' as this #87d75f in html notation.
Is there a way for this to be done? Thanks.

[SOLVED] Color Bash Prompt - Arch Latest News w/o description

Hi everybody, i'm trying to get the Arch Latest News in the bash profile when terminal starts. I followed the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_at_logon and I can show the latest news without problems. What I want to do is to show only the titles and links, without description, that uses much space in the terminal. I tried to figure out what lines I should delete in the /etc/bash.bashrc file but.. you know the sintax is pretty obscure for the most of us (at least for me). I see that there is a description line.. but, really I can't manage this. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED]Bash prompt colors different in console as opposed in terminal

Hi
EDIT: I have solved the problem by copying /etc/skel/.bash_profile to my home directory.
Today i updated the system and the bash prompt is fine in my terminal (KDE Konsole or in Xterm) but not in consoles. For normal user (blue colors) i use this settings in the $HOME/.bashrc file:
PS1='[\e[0;36m\u\e[0m@\e[0;36m\h\e[0m]─[\e[0;33m\w\e[0m]\n└─\$ '
For root (red color) /root/.bashrc:
PS1='[\e[1;31m\u\e[0m@\e[1;31m\h\e[0m]─[\e[0;33m\w\e[0m]\n└─\$ '
Now, if i login in console as a normal user it doesn't display blue color but red as if i was root user. Like i said in xterm or KDE Konsole it looks just fine. The case is that consoles don't use my .bashrc file and use instead /etc/bash.bashrc file: Here is my /etc/bash.bashrc file:
# /etc/bash.bashrc
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return
#PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
PS1='[\e[1;31m\u\e[0m@\e[1;31m\h\e[0m]─[\e[0;33m\w\e[0m]\n└─\$ '

Permanent Crash related to changing display settings while FCP is open.

Recently, the display settings (arrangement) on my two monitors started changing by itself while I was working in FCP 6.5. I'm using ancient monitors (Viewsonic MB90 and Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 920. I just don't have the money to upgrade right now). Tis was annoying but I dealt with the problem by creating two different windows layouts. Then things got worse (the only thing I had done was install 8 gigs of additional memory on top of the original 2). FCP started crashing and now I can't even open the application. It doesn't react.
Apple recently posted a not very informative acknowledgement of the problem with changing display settings while FCP is open, but it doesn't suggest solutions to my problem. It would be helpful to know a) what resolution and refresh rates are best for these old monitors and b)how to open FCP again. Your help is greatly appreciated.

THIS IS IT!
Disabling the nVidia deep colors for 3d applications solved the uber-annoying "flicker-screen-settings-and-disrupt/crash-other-programs" issue. I specifically only disabled deep colors for Premiere, not for all 3d applications I use, because none of them have caused the same problem as Premiere.
This display-screen setting issue probably occurred because I use a Dell u3011 monitor which displays Adobe RGB color gamut, not just sRGB.
However, now this brings up another question with disabling deep colors (effectively disabling the Adobe RGB use of the Dell monitor):
QUESTION: If I have CG-rendered frames that seem to be created in sRGB and Adobe RGB (in two different programs), what color space should I be mixing/editing them in?
I'm somewhat of a novice with the color spectrum/gamut issue. From what I understand, if I edit both CG images in sRGB, I'll be losing color data from the Adobe RGB-created CG image. If I edit both CG images in Adobe RGB, will I create minor banding effects on the sRGB image because it doesn't have the color range that I'm editing in? Perhaps my question is more relevant to AfterEffects compositing of the images rather than simply/only editing them in Premiere.
The end result is something like an architectural film/ flythrough.
Thanks,

How to set ENV variable using user profile in solaris 10 while using ssh

Hi,
Please help me in setting the environment variable using user profile file while using ssh method of connection (Can I use the same ~/.profile file?)
when i am logging in using the telnet, the environment variable is automattically set, but not when I am using SSH.
Thanks in advance
ushas symon

Please list your .profile and a ls -la of your home directory.
also list the result of env after your logged through telnet and ssh.
There should be no difference - it depends mostly on your login shell which startup script it executes. ksh uses .profile, bash: bash_profile then .profile.

[Solved] Yaourt + bash problem?

When I use Yaourt I get some issues that I suspect might be caused by some bash configuration problem.

Which is still persistent and was not solved by version upgrade. I have feeling in the gut, that it might have the same culprit.
I also have second Archlinux box (notebook) with installation that is very similar to this one. I have cloned it, but removed some packages. Most of the system is the same. This problem is not present there and Yaourt works fine.
I know that Yaourt is not officially supported and there are other frontends, but I prefer Yaourt.
Does anyone have idea what might be the problem?
Thanks.

With regard to the sudo problem: sudo recently underwent an upgrade that featured a rewriting of its plugins, including /etc/sudoers; I noticed the same issues for a couple days. Add your user to the "wheel" group again, and it should clear things up.

Black screen upon wake from sleep when I change power state while in sleep

Hi,
I'm having this problem where my MacbookPro won't always wake from sleep.
OSX is 10.6.3 and fully updated.
I've done a lot of troubleshooting, and I can now replicate the issue 100%:
1 - Put the MacbookPro to sleep by closing lid
2 - Change power source (from plugged-in to battery or vice versa)
3 - open lid - MacbookPro will wake, but stays at black screen and is unresponsive.
Only if I change power state while sleeping will this issue show. Anyone else experincing this issue, and anygot got a clue on what to do?
regards,
Lasse

I've seen the same issue after upgrading to 10.6.3. I have a one year old MacBook Pro. I would have the screen be black after coming back from sleep or hibernate (tried both).
The workaround I found is to close the lid -almost- all the way and then immediately open it back up again, like I am catching the Mac going back to sleep and then changing my mind. For whatever reason, this has been reliably solving my issue for the last couple weeks reliably.
Only other oddity I noticed is that immediately after upgrading OS X told me that my one year old battery needed to go in for servicing...
Anyway, now all looks right with the world assuming you don't mind a quick close/open cycle.. Lovely...

Tired of writing your own bash prompt?

I realized a few days ago that I got tired of looking up arcane bash escape sequences just to customize my bash prompt. In the open source fashion, I wrote a gui in pyGTK that will automatically make one for you, if you just pick the things you want from a menu. It's not really done yet and there's still stuff that I need to add to it, but I thought i'd see if anyone around here had any comments, or would find it useful.
Check it out: https://github.com/wisp558/promptool
It's worth noting that I only implemented 3 of the most common bash variables, but I should fix that soon. (and the bold button is broken)

Yeah, I plan to. Other things I'm looking at include a place to select the text color, (It'll use the last color in the prompt), background colors, underlined things and changing the whole textview background (I use a black urxvt, personally). I may even add a thing to save prompts or something. I might add an option to append the PS1 to one's ~/.bashrc, making the gui display the finished prompt rather than the terminal and more! I have plenty of ideas left!
As a note, the escape you posted is just the bold option I already have. There is a high intensity option in bash, which I will look into, although it does nothing in my terminal. Those are things like '\e[0;90m' and its friends.
Thanks for your feedback, guys.

How can i change the font while im coding?

How can i change the font while im coding? I am not talking about the final product and inserting fonts in my documet i am talking about when i am in the progress of coding I want to change the font so it is way more pleaseing to the eye when I am staring at it while coding? please do help and thanks!

Editing the source is a bit of a pain because you'll have to redo it after every update. It's better to write yourself a mini-extension that adds a new stylesheet -- that is also very simple to do. Just follow these instructions: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Customize-Your-Code-Font.

Can we change the prompt of textfield using personalization

Hi,
I want to change the prompt of a textfield using personalization. I changed the prompt using personalization, but still it is showing the old value. Also I changed the rendeered prompt of a field to false and still that filed is coming up in the page. Also I set the default value to null to one of the textfield and that value is coming up with some value when the page is loaded.
Can I do all above 3 using personalization or should I extend the controller.
User personalization is false for those fields.
Thanks,
HC

Hi Gyan,
I did the personalization of the one date field and that worked and it is readonly now. The other field is created by bean by Controller..so I can't do personalization on that. I extended the Controller and added the code.
OAApplicationModule localOAApplicationModule = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean);
OAMessageDateFieldBean localOAMessageDateFieldBean = (OAMessageDateFieldBean)paramOAWebBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("DplSrcRefDate");
if (localOAMessageDateFieldBean != null)
localOAMessageDateFieldBean.setValue(null);
//localOAMessageDateFieldBean.setPrompt(oapagecontext."Date Placed In Service");
localOAMessageDateFieldBean.setPrompt("Date Placed In Service");
Is the setPrompt command correct. I was waiting for the apache bounce to see the effect. If this is not correct command, I can change the command so that I don't have to do the apache bounce twice.
Thanks,
HC

This means that the SSH server you're trying to connect to isn't listening. Is the SSH server running? Are you trying to connect to the right machine?

Change the permission while placing the file

Hi Experts,
I have a production issue :
I am placing the .txt file into a SFTP server location from a SFTP Location[NO Transformation in the file]. (Sender and receiver channels are SFTP)
I am using user- user1(for example) which have the read write access to the particular folder, hence when it places the file it places with 664 permission .(This permission gives only user1 as read/write access , but other user have read only access).
The requirement :
The user2 want to deletes the file from the particular folder location , they want to know by any means can PI change the permission while placing the file into that location so that user2 can also have read/write access.
Can you provide the opinion whether it can be done using SFTP receiver channel or any other option to change the permission of the file.

As far as i know the permissions are related to the folder and the User not for files
While creating the access, a particular user authorizations related particular folder, not related to files.
So this should be done some thing like by giving the read/write access to user2 as well
Regards
