http://askubuntu.com – I am developing an application which had some dependency and for that i use external tools. One example is that i use putty's commandline tool plink.exe to telnet/ssh remote machine from java program. Now when i switch to ubuntu, for that there is a utility sshpass that does the same for me. Now the problem is sshpass is not already installed and before it is installed, my program will not work. In windows, if something is not there, i can package portable executable in my program e.g this plink.exe and use it at run time to do the job. Now in ubuntu, i want to know is there any way that (HowTos)

I have a program that can be run via remote plink ssh on a different PC using windows command prompt

plink [username]@[ip address] -pw [password] ./program

or:

plink -ssh -l [username] -pw [password] [ip address] ./program

but somehow the program will end prematurely. Program runs, but terminates before the program had run its course.

plink user@10.220.60.xx '/home/user/test/testpgm'

On running the below program which resides on a Linux machine from a windows machine using plink, I get only the following messages.

I am a bit new with the Sikulli tool so please bear with my ignorance.

I have written a Sikulli program on windows using Java to automate the Skype application, which works fine on Windows.

Now I want to test the compatibility of this program on Ubuntu server as is the requirement specified by the client.

I am creating an executable jar out of my project and with the necessary code changes(Loca

I have a few Windows portable applications that I would like to run under WINE. Most of these have simply an executable file (.exe) and a settings file (.ini). There is no install file (launcher). In Windows, I would simply create a folder ProgramName under the C:\Program Files folder. Then I would place the .exe and the .ini file in the ProgramName folder.

i've been trying to issue commands using plink to retrieve information from my external server. note that these plink commands are ran from a binary that expects no input from the user. is there a flag that will allow me to override this error message and continue with program output?

The server's host key is not cached in the registry.

I have just installed an application on my Amazon EC2 instance called sshpass. I am having trouble getting it to work properly ( although, it works correctly on a non AWS instance ). I've read in some forums that I may need to run it as the root user for it to work properly.

On an AWS instance, I must run applications with sudo to run them as the root user.

I am trying to run Portable Truecrypt from a USB Pendrive. I already extracted the package and all but the only way it really opens Truecrypt is if the executable is on my home folder. It never works when the executable is on the pendrive.

I would like to know what causes Ubuntu and/or Synaptic to recognize a program as being installed. Is there an equivalent of the Windows registry that an application has to have a entry in? Does a program have to be installed from a .*deb package to be classified as installed and show up in Synaptic? And where are files for an installed program usually kept?

Now by executable CD I mean a disk that usually would run and install a program but for some reason isn't. I would particularly like to know how to install it from the command line (terminal). Please do help. The program on the CD is an .iso file.
