I'm looking to switch from bash to zsh but concerned about compatibility of bash scripts.

Are all bash scripts/functions compatible with zsh? Therefore, if that is true is zsh just an enhancement to bash?

Running scripts from a list 36 weeks 13 hours ago

I am writing a bash script to run test some scripts.

The names scripts of the scripts to tests are stored in an array.

Code: scptArr[1]='chcksfrd.bash' scptArr[2]='compute-misfit.bash' scptArr[3]='compute-travel-times.bash' scptArr[4]='create-data-tinv.bash' scptArr[5]='create-docs.bash' scptArr[6]='create-model.bash' scptArr[7]='darwin-ga.bash' scptArr[8]='listdir.bash' scptArr[9]=

Dress Up Bash Script with YAD 1 year 14 weeks ago

If you want to add a dash of GUI goodness to your Bash scripts, you have several options. You can use Zenity or Kdialog to quickly add simple dialogs and message boxes to Bash scripts. However, both tools are rather limited, and for a more complex GUI design you might want to give YAD a try.

I've learnt the basics of programming in bash.

I have a server that I've setup running PHP. This serves JSON files and is running fine.

Can I assume that enough people have zsh installed to run scripts with a

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

as shebang?

Or will this make my scripts un-runnable on too much systems?

Clarification: I’m interested in programs/scripts an end user might want to run (like on Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Arch &c.)

How to debug csh scripts? 36 weeks 19 hours ago

My lab uses csh scripts to run jobs. It is usually difficult for me to debug a shell script, so I'm wondering if there is a csh debugger I can use.

I know there are some flags like -x or -v that can help, but because the script is kind of long, it would be better if I can set breakpoints on it.

RVM... 48 weeks 5 days ago

I have 2 problems... 1. I am stupid and installed rvm as root... and 2. after realizing I did that I did rvm implode and now every folder I move too says:

Code: -bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/initialize: No such file or directory -bash: /usr/local/rvm/scripts/hook: No such file or directory ... where is this config written so I can remove it and start from scratch?
