Recursive Xterms Via .bashrc

Centos 6.5

I ran into an interesting problem (on reddit) that I figured I could solve, but I have not been able to. Its simple,.. I added 'exit 0' to /root/.bashrc, and now I am trying to log in via ssh.

Everytime I do, it immediately exits when it runs the .bash_profile, which sources .bashrc, (which is immediate upon 'logging in')

I've tried:

Code:

ssh root@192.168.1.50 -t vim
vim scp://192.168.1.50/.bashrc
vim scp://192.168.1.50/root/.bashrc
ssh root@192.168.1.50 bash --norc
ssh root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -T root@192.168.1.50 "mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC"
scp .bashrc root@192.168.1.50:/root/
ssh root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile -vvvvvvvvvv
ssh -vvvvvv root@192.168.1.50 /bin/bash --norc --noprofile
ssh -vvvvvv root@192.168.1.50 /bin/mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC
ssh -t -t root@192.168.1.50 << EOF
mv /root/.bashrc /root/.bashRC
EOF
ssh -t -t root@192.168.1.50 --norc << EOF
echo HELLO > /root/.bashrc
EOF
ssh -tv root@192.168.1.50 rm .bashrc

So,.. I am unable to get back into the system (as root, no other users exist) after adding 'exit 0' to .bashrc

Anyone feel like explaining why all of these failed (aside from saying SSH interactive logins run the .bash_profile/.bashrc files) or, offering a suggestion that works? Seems like if you have the root password, you should be allowed to modify the login process... since... you know... you are root.

When I use X I most often run mutt in xterm and I thought it might be nice to send mutt's status_format to the xterm title.

It is set as
Code:

set status_format="Mailbox is %f with %M messages [%v]  You have %n new messages."

in my .muttrc.

Is this possible and if so how to do it? Any help would really be appreciated.

I use bash btw.

Hello all,
I am working on setting up a script to set certain things and install them on new installs of linux, however I am running into an issue with appending code onto the end of my .bashrc.

I am trying to append Code:

PS1='\033[1;32m[\A \u@\h \W]\033[0m$ '

into .bashrc and I have tried the following methods without success
Code:

echo PS1='\[\e[1;31m\][\A \u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] ' >> /root/.bashrc
echo 'PS1='\[\e[1;31m\][\A \u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] '' >> /root/.bashrc
echo 'PS1=\'\[\e[1;31m\][\A \u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] \'' >> /root/.bashrc
echo "PS1='\[\e[1;31m\][\A \u@\h \W]\$\[\e[0m\] '" >> /root/.bashrc

as well as several others with not avail. the issue is that echo is interpreting the single quotes that I would like printed. I have tried escaping them with not luck. any ideas?

I need to execute this .bashrc string:

alias lml='grep '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' mail.log | grep "relay=" | awk '{print $8}'' #list mail log

I have tried enclosing the string in alias as lml="..." and alias lml=`...` to no avail. The problem is apparently with the grep "relay=" in that it has to be enclosed in "", as well as the awk that has to be enclosed in ''.

Any ideas on how to get this setup? Thanks.

When we open xterm, how does it know which shell to start..

Chapter 17 of gnuplot pdf manual (Mouse Input) says "The x11, pm, windows, ggi, and wxt terminals allow interaction with the current plot using the mouse." I wonder if my Ubuntu 13.04 has any of those, if not, then perhaps the three terminals (Terminal, UXTerm, Xterm) I can invoke here, maybe they also have the same property? The proper term is: are they mouse capable? Thanks, - A.

I want to create a simple bash function (in .bashrc) that takes in one parameter (a directory name) and tars all the files inside of that directory into a specific directory in /home (we'll call that destdir). The name of the tar should be the same as the directory parameter.

For example, I want to be able to type into the terminal "task directory_name".

I tried this but it didn't work:

Code:

function_name() {
   cd $1
   tar czf /~/destdir/$1.tar *

   return 0
}
alias task=function_name

What am I doing wrong?

Hi all ,
I have a requirement where I have a file. Contents of the file are :
#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABG="https://www.abc.com"
IC5678-vg="https://www.bhy.com"
IC-gy_567:78="https://www.gyt.com"
#comments
The variable names can not have characters like - , : so
in this file I have to find words starting with IC and replace characters like - ,:
I want to change only the variable name , not the whole line.
I have used SED command

sed -i '/^IC/s/[^0-9 a-z A-Z _]*//g' file

when I am using this command , it is replacing the whole line
output becomes :

#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABGhttpswwwabccom
IC5678vghttpswwwbhycom
ICgy56778httpswwwgytcom
#comments


But I want the output like this :

#comments
VAR="abg"
RES=123
#comments
IC6790ABG="https://www.abc.com"
IC5678vg="https://www.bhy.com"
ICgy_56778="https://www.gyt.com"
#comments

How can I get the desired output , thanks for your help in advance .

hello all,

please help me with python ftplib. i was trying to copy files from my linux machine to a windows server using ftplib. everything was working good. but i'm only able to copy files from the same directory the script is. how do i copy files from a different directory? i always get "file not found error message". here's my code :

Code:

tester_name = str (socket.gethostname())
def upload(ftp, file):
    ext = os.path.splitext(file)[1]
    if ext in (".txt", ".htm", ".html"):
        ftp.storlines("STOR " + file, open(file))
    else:
        ftp.storbinary("STOR " + file, open(file, "rb"), 1024)



parse_source_path = ('/path/to/where/i/go/')
parse_source_file_list = os.listdir(parse_source_path)

ftp = ftplib.FTP("server_IP")
ftp.login("username", "pass")

folder_list = []

ftp.dir(folder_list.append)

if str(tester_name) not in str(folder_list) :
    ftp.mkd("%s"%tester_name)
    ftp.cwd("%s"%tester_name)
    for files in parse_source_file_list :
        print files
        upload(ftp, files)


else :
    print "later"

I am in the process of migrating from a Centos 5 to Centos 6 server. I have duo two factor authentication working on my original server via the ForceCommand parameter in my sshd_config file. SSH login prompts for password and immediately pushed duo authentication to phone.

On my new server, it appears the .bashrc file is executed before ForceCommand, as I migrated my .bashrc from original server to new server. This was not the case previously.

How do I force the ForceCommand to run before any profile dependent .bashrc's?

Thank you.
