Terminal with "repeat last" button

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm often compiling stuff and therefore repeating the same command over and over, so I'd like to benefit from my "visual memory" and have a sort of "repeat last command" button attached to a terminal. More precisely, here is how I see it: My "special" terminal would be just like a standard terminal emulator, with an extra input line at the bottom, which would have a "run" button attached to it. Clicking the button would run the command without erasing it. Maybe even an arbitrary number of such commands could be stacked (since I often need to alternate between 2 or 3 commands). I know I can (HowTos)

Stories similar to Terminal with "repeat last" button

I use Ubuntu 12.10.

When I open a terminal window, it allows me to navigate through the commands I typed in the past by pressing the up arrow button.

* Does anyone know where these commands are stored for the terminal window to read and display?

* Is there a way I can see all commands (may be stored somewhere in the system)

Thanks

System: I have XUbuntu 12.04 64bit and run Terminal 0.4.8 (Xfce Terminal Emulator).

Problem: My Terminal always stops to accept any input after I close a program window started from the Terminal.

Details: For example, I start leafpad, (or geany, tkdiff etc) from the terminal. I close the window after finishing my job by either clicking on the close button or using ctrl-w.

Hi All, I work on a Linux platform which runs Red Hat (forget which version) and use both korn and bash shells.

Sometimes you may want to run multiple commands in the terminal. Here is how to do it:

If you want to run multiple commands in the terminal respectively, just add a semicolon (;) between two commands. For example: command1; command2; command3

With this syntax, it does not matter if a command returns to error, all the commands you use will be executed eventually.

I am creating a java software on linux ubuntu. I want to to open linux terminal from inside java, set commands to the terminal, execute the commands and then close the terminal.

In fact my software consists of configuring linux ubuntu 12.04 as server from java.

So when I open up terminal emulator there is a '$' sign and I input the command "su". It says that super user granted permission. After that the '$' disappears and I can't do any other commands. If I enter one it will just skip to the next line with no effect. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Running Epiphany on ubuntu 12.04 on an iMac G5 powerpc.

The only button I have is a "Web" button inside the browser and a wheel on the far right corner.

I can't for example set a home page, unless there is a terminal command to do so.

I don't have a view button either...

Does anyone else have this problem?
