Hi I was wondering if someone could help me. I am trying to make a script
runnable in linux that was originally built for solaris.
Firstly could someone explain what this does (I assume its just away of
cat-ing a load of sql into a variable but not sure what the symbols
actually do)-
cat -<<-!! > $SQL
statements
!!
I know that in linux if you are echoing a command into isql that you have
to use echo -e. Is there something similar when using cat?
E.g
echo -e "select @@servername\ngo" | isql -U$USERNAME -S$server -P$password

Hello ,
when we export any variable that is valid to that particular session. If we
switch to other user from that session have to export that variable again.
So If want to export the variable in the start up have to include in the
start up scripts or profile.

So I do an
export HelloWorld='Hi'
in one terminal window and it works in the same window:
echo $HelloWorld
results in
Hi
Just the same as when I leave out the export.
Now I open a second window and do
echo $HelloWorld
and I get a blank line - just the same as I when I leave out the "export".
So what is the export for - again- please?
Is it only for the files in profile.d ??

Hi Vicky. Welcome to unix! 1st go to commandline by pressing Ctrl then,
while pressing that, press Alt button, and then press F1 button without
letting go of Ctrl or Alt. Here you can type
ls
then press Enter to put that command in.
to see folders and files. Sometimes, in some unix they show folders in
blue and regular files in white. When you press ls and then Enter, you are
already in a folder. The top folder that has all folders is called /
If you want to move into a folder type
cd folder_name
then press Enter. Press ls again and you see different folders and files.
Some files have a . in front of them, but you don't see them when you press
ls, even if they are in the folder you are in. When a . is in front of a
file, like a file called .bash then that makes it hidden. use ls -a to see
those files. All folders have a file called .. and a file called .
.. means the folder above you, so type cd .. and then Enter to go up a
folder. To see which folder you are in type pwd.

I am saving the path in a variable, but if I try to go to that file and
press tab to auto complete the variable name the shell adds a backslash:
xxx@xxxx:widget$ export widget=`pwd`
xxx@xxxx:widget$ cd \$widget
bash: cd: $widget: No such file or directory
lets say I typed cd $wid [tab], it auto completes to \$widget, so I have to
type the whole word.
Does anyone know how to configure the shell, if I have to use double quotes
or something else to avoid getting the backslash at the beginning of the
variable??
Thanks,
Juan

Hi, I'm trying to use an environment variable where the name of the
environment variable is contained in a variable..
app=$1 # script is run with 1 parameter which #is the environment variable
to use e.g.
#x.scr CABLAPP
# CABLAPP is the environment variable so I now #want to say
cd $app # which needs to expand $app to $CABLAPP
#I've tried adding $ to the contents of the variable which i can do, but
still doesn't perform the cd command correctly .. how do you extract the
contents of a variable to use it as an enviroment variable ?

By default, TOMBOY stores notes on ~/.local/share/tomboy/. To alter this
directory I have to override the location of the note directory by setting
the TOMBOY_PATH environment variable. I added this line "export
TOMBOY_PATH=/media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes" to .bashrc file as I want to store
the notes on /media/STORAGE/Tomboy_notes". Unfortunately, this way did take
effect. Tomboy still looks for the notes on ~/.local/share/tomboy/.
Could you please show me how to do it properly. Thanks.

Environmental variables always confuse me especially when installing
software in the ./configure part where it almost always says 'pay attn to
the env var bla bla..
One particular prog I am trying to install is pokerth's SVN version which I
have downloaded, but there is in the directions:
1. Type "cd path/to/the/sources". Then do for example "/usr/qt/4/bin/qmake
pokerth.pro" to configure the makefile for your system.
Pay attention that the QTDIR environment varialbe points to Qt4 not
Qt3. For example QTDIR=/usr/qt/4.
You can set this variable typing: "export QTDIR=/usr/qt/4"
I have tried time and time again to install this and the environmental
variable confuses me to no end. In the above where does QTDIR go? I've
tried everything I can think to try and still it always tells me unable to
create the make file.. I have QT4 installed and all the dependencies. Does
the env variable command go in the same line as the line,
/usr/qt/4/bin/qmake pokerth.pro and if so where and how? If not then how do
I set it?
I've been using linux for quite some time and this issue, the env var has
ALWAYS gotten my brain tied up in knots where I have to relearn this every
time...
Help?

Okay, I've altered the PATH cmd in my .bashsrc file to include my personal
bin folder. echo $PATH after rebooting confirms that the change has taken
place. However, when I try to execute my programs from anywhere but the bin
folder I get "Can't open perl script 'pro': no such file or directory."
This is also the case for my BLAST programs (eg: ./makeblastdb). It only
works if I execute it in the bin where its located or point to it
specifically from the cmd line. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
Thanks.

First off, I recommend that you make a backup copy of any config file
before changing it. For example:

Next, what changes are you trying to make?
