Is there a difference between "." and "source" in bash, after all?

http://askubuntu.com – I was looking for the difference between the "." and "source" builtin commands and a few sources (e.g., in this discussion, and the bash manpage) suggest that these are just the same. However, following a problem with environment variables, I conducted a test. I created a file testenv.sh that contains: #!/bin/bash echo $MY_VAR In the command prompt, I performed the following: > chmod +x testenv.sh > MY_VAR=12345 > ./testenv.sh > source testenv.sh 12345 > MY_VAR=12345 ./testenv.sh 12345 [note that the 1st form returned an empty string] So, this little experiment suggests (HowTos)

My simple understanding of NAT is something like this could happen:

Two client PCs 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 open up a connection with src port = 12345.

How to achive this in Unix?? Thanks, sarin

I intalled opendkim with sendmanil (on Ubuntu) without any problem, and followed the same procedure for installing on another server (Debian with postfix), but it does not work. Strangely, there is no error in the log files too.

I have two data sets, A and B. The format for each data set is one number per line. For instance,

12345 23456 67891 2345900 12345

Some of the data in A are not included in data set B. How to list all of these data in A, and how to list all of those data shared by A and B. How can I do that using Linux/UNIX commands?

apostrophe in ProcessBuilder 14 weeks 3 hours ago

I need to build the following command in linux using ProcessBuilder:

sudo packit -t UDP -S 1000 -D 1200 -s 127.0.0.1 -d 192.168.1.1 -c 5 -n 12345 -p '0x 80 64 45 78 00 00 27'

I tried with the following code:

commands.add("sudo"); commands.add("packit"); commands.add("-t"); commands.add("UDP"); commands.add("-S"); commands.add("1000"); commands.add("-D"); commands.add("1200"); commands.add("-s"

Hello All,

I'm in the middle of a script and I'm doing some checks with REGEX (i.e. using the '[[' ).

I'm wondering if this example is correct or if its just a coincidence.
