>for file in `ls -A "$1"`

Kill me now. Use this

>for file in $1/*

Otherwise if you have a filename with spaces in it, etc.. you run into problems

>>55841229

call it 'nt' and run it like so:
'nt 2' or 'nt 2 echo "hi"'

it creates a new terminal from the cwd of the one you're currently starting it from. it also executes a command in the spawned one. you'll likely have to hack it a bit to work

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

function is_number() {
    # no number given, start one term by default
    if [ "${#}" -eq 0 ]; then
        echo '1'
        return 0
    fi

    case ${1} in
        ''|*[!0-9]*) echo '1';;
        *) echo ${1};;
    esac

    return 0
}

function is_command() {
    if [ "${#}" -eq 0 ]; then
        # no command given, just start a shell
        echo ":"
    else
        # pass command and start a shell after it
        echo "${@}"
    fi;

    return 0
}


function spawn_terms() {
    local cmd=${@:2}
    local exec_cmd=""

    case "${TERMINAL}" in
        *lxterminal)
                if [ "${cmd}" != ":" ]; then
                    echo "lxterminal doesn't support spawning AND command execution."
                fi

                exec_cmd="${TERMINAL} --working-directory='${PWD}' -e '${SHELL}'"
            ;;
        *urxvtc)
                exec_cmd="${TERMINAL} -cd '${PWD}' -e ${SHELL} -c \"${cmd}; exec ${SHELL} -i\""
            ;;
        *termite)
                exec_cmd="${TERMINAL} -d '${PWD}' -e \"${SHELL} -c '${cmd};${SHELL}'\""
            ;;
        *)
            echo "unknown terminal name ${TERMINAL}, assuming urxvt interface."
            exec_cmd="${TERMINAL} -cd '${PWD}' -e ${SHELL} -c \"${cmd}; exec ${SHELL} -i\""
            ;;

By using $1\* you're doing similar.

Anybody have a bash script for backing up an entire centos 7 desktop pc? Like everything down to the browser configuration. I'm new to this

dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1

>>55840046
probably if you have ffmpeg installed

>>55840248
you can install bash on windows 10. actually it's basically a whole ubuntu subsystem

>>55844245
do your own work

>>55844496
oh yeah I'm waiting for something to blow up and I will probably get bash as soon as it's not in the preview but as an actual update.
Does it work inside a windows cmd like terminal? or is it actually a different executable?

>>55844320
I'm running it right now it's using gnome 3 DE. Unless you mean it's not the best to use as a desktop os
and is geared towards enterprise and servers then I agree.
>>55844362
Thanks
>>55844505
Thank you also for being honest :^)

>>55840253
zsh can't do stuff like
((++i%x)) && echo "Hello World"

>>55840046
oh and you could also just get/build ffmpeg for windows and modify the scripts for batch or powershell

>>55844518
it runs in a terminal emulator so it looks like a cmd window, but it's a different executable and the environments are somewhat separate. you can install ubuntu packages but they're limited to the ubuntu environment. at least files are accessible from both environments. i imagine that there's probably a way to call the bash executable and forward arguments to it from the windows environment though, which would add at least a bit of flexibility

That's neat anon.
Would it be possible to do the same with keyboards?

Got a Thinkpad X240 with backlit keyboard and been wondering whether it was possible to programmatically interact with the lighting.

I assume you need specific drivers for this?

>>55852124
I didn't need anything special to change the backlight, don't know about keyboards
Check the /sys/class/ folder, chances are it's in there, I think all the leds on my thinkpad are there too, but I haven't figured out how to control them yet

>>55852407
I checked /sys/class/leds but it's empy. I noticed there's also a /sys/class/backlight folder, but it is also empty.

Thanks tho.

I started a thread to ask this question a few days ago, but got no answer.

Why the fuck does bash not remove the backslash when escaping ! Inside a double quote. There seems to be no rationale, and it is seriously annoying.
