Shell does not show typed in commands, "reset" works, but what happened?

http://askubuntu.com – My problem is that the Bash shell stops showing the characters I type into it. It does read the commands though. I've come across this problem quite a few times and I don't understand what causes it. I know how to solve it, but I really don't like it when I'm "voodooing" my way of out of problems. I'll describe the two ways I've come across this problem: I'm running a certain process, http://pythonpaste.org/script/ and sometimes when I stop that or it breaks control is given back to the shell. When I then go and type commands into the shell, the characters I type don't show up. When I press (HowTos)

LEARN SHELL SCRIPTING BASICS 1 year 19 weeks ago

I am beginner to the SHELL SCRIPT and want to Learn SHELL SCRIPT Basics.

This thread should help to all beginners who want to learn SHELL SCRIPT

*** Thanks in advance to those who will contribute on this thread ***

Please guide me and all beginners...

1. Is there any good e-book available? if yes please share links. 2. Where can I try my shell script learning? any online servers available? 3.

The command line is a powerful way to interact with a Linux computer. Instead of using the mouse, you just type commands into the shell. (The shell is a blank window where you type in your commands.) So for example, instead of clicking on your file browser, you simply type ls [enter] to display the contents of your working directory.

The title might not say much about the issue at hand so let me get straight to the point.

Let's assume I have a casual user who can log in to the system via SSH into a bash shell.

Is there a way to watch what commands are being executed in another shell, as they're being executed? Both shells are bash, and I have root access, if that matters. I can't install any extra software, and I don't want the other shell to have to do anything special like run screen.

Situation: I'm remotely logged into a Linux machine, and so is a coworker.

shell script fails to exit 3 years 14 weeks ago

This is a very simple problem, but i'm scratching my head with others..

In composing a simple shell script in class, we can't seem to get the script to execute fully. script was formatted as follows.

#!/bin/bash echo "good bye for now" exit

did, chmod 744 to make executable type filename "bye"

As I pointed out in my question nautilus theme problem in 12.04 I have to type 4 commands after every logon as workaround for a theming problem.

I have a shell script that accepts an argument and uses that in the script. So to run the script I type /path/to/script argument

The problem is when trying to setup that file to run using the at utility. I have tried

at -f /path/to/script argument 17:45

at -f '/path/to/script argument' 17:45

but neither of these options work.

HI all, im new to shell scripting. need your guidence for my script. i wrote one script and is attached here

Im explaining the requirement of script.

AIM: Shell script to run automatically as per scheduled and backup few network devices configurations.

I've got a shell script which outputs shell commands which are supposed to be copy-pasted with the mouse from one terminal window to another (I can test it in the same window though).
