H,
There is Solaris command "time" to find execution time of command ... e.g.
time command
I need to execute this "time command" command and save output in a file.
I can find -o flag in Linux (e.g. /usr/bin/time -o output.txt COMMAND) but this is not working in Solaris 10.
I would be thankful if some expert guide me to implement it in Solaris.
Best Regards
You need to redirect the output of time command to file:
time command >>output.txt 2>&1
the construction 2>&1 make STDERR also to go in the same file
And this work (with very high probability) on ANY Unix and Linux
I have been trying to pip install psycopg2 for some time now
I have just updated to python 3.7.4, before this problem started.
To set my path to a specific python version I used the code below.
nano .bash_profile
I thought that it would now be easy for my system to identify the path of the newly installed python, as to enable it to install psycopg2. Then the below started happening.
The second line of system terminal or python terminal is now always showing:
-bash: zzzzz#: command not found on my terminal
No matter what I type on my terminal, I am always getting command not found
This would mean you literally have "zzzzz" somewhere in the bash_profile. Bash is seeing "zzzzz" as just another command to run at startup like the rest of the profile script. As there is nothing in your PATH matching that string, bash reports the issue back to you.
Either remove the extra line from your .bash_profile. OR use a terribly wasteful work-around!
ln -s /bin/true /bin/zzzzz
This will create a symbolic link to the "true" binary (all it ever does is return true) from zzzzz. Now bash can find zzzzz and run it during start up, which does nothing. No more error and an absurd work around. You should fix the file.
So I'm getting some pretty strange behaviour when I try to use an Automator service to open new emacs (GNU Version 25.2 with spacemacs) buffers.
In my terminal, the command emacsclient -a '' -c works as expected, opening a new buffer through emacsclient. However, when I make a service in Automator which simply runs a (/bin/bash) shell script:
emacsclient -a '' -c
I get an error message:
The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error: “emacsclient: could not get terminal name”
On suspicions that this was due to Automator not using some default PATH variable, I tried the following instead:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
emacsclient -c
which produced the same error as before.
Next I tried
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin export PATH;
emacsclient -c
which produced a different error message:
The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error: “emacsclient: invalid option -- c
Try `emacsclient --help' for more information”
however why I try that script in my terminal it also gives a similar error which doesn't make much sense to me.
If anyone has suggestions for how to fix this I'd really appreciate it.
The problem is the shell script is running an old version of emacsclient in /usr/bin you need to run the one in Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient. Delete the PATH line and you can use a solution listed here for running emacsclient inside automator Running a macOS service for open with emacs failed with "emacsclient: could not get terminal name mac"
I have a confusion over the exit code of the application and the bash return value. For an eclipse application, a command line interface ran using eclipse returns the exit code as 1 (which is expected upon error). but when I run same command line using shell file and checks the return value with "echo $?" it always returns value as 0.
Application launched in command line mode in Eclipse :
Shell script :
command ="toolCli.exe -application arguments"
$command
echo $?
Output I get here is always 0, what's exactly the difference here?
$ com="echoo hi"
$ $com
No command 'echoo' found, did you mean:
Command 'echo' from package 'coreutils' (main)
echoo: command not found
$ echo $?
127
As you can see the exit value does work, I believe your issue might be to do with the environment, as in the eclipse environment be different from your bash environment?
From the java path, it looks like you have a 64 bit windows env and that eclipse might be using the standard windows command line, so I'm interested in how you are expecting it to behave as a bash env?
So maybe run the command under a windows command line and see if it fails, compare the java setup in both environments.
I have script lets say:
C:\foo.bsh
I want to be able to run this command via the windows run command:
Start -> Run
Windows Key + R
and type something small like 'foo' and hitting return.
However, I do not want a cmd prompt to be visible. This script does some preprocessing for an IDE. I do not want the cmd prompt to be open for the lifetime of the IDE process.
I have tried:
1) Creating a bat file with the following contents:
c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login "C:\foo.bsh" (this fails because it keeps a cmd open)
2) Converting the above bat file to an exe using bat_2_exe_converter (does not make the cmd silent)
thoughts?
EDIT: The solution so far suggests something to type from an actual cygwin shell. I am trying to get a faster solution by having something short I can type in the Windows run command. Also, the nohup command; exit doesn't automatically kill the box - however I can manually kill it without killing the IDE process. The run command accepts shortcuts (.lnk's), bat's, exe's.
Try the run.exe command of cygwin. It is a big install, a complete unix environment for your Windows machine. Suppose you installed it at c:\cygwin\.
No mystery, just run c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe <your command here> and you will have your no dos window execution.
You can run it from any DOS window (run cmd.exe from the start menu). You don't need to run it from cygwin.
To make it easier, append C:\cygwin\bin to your %PATH% env var (My Computer → Properties → Advanced → Environment Variables) (Kudos to Felipe Alvarez comment).
Now you can just type
c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe "C:\foo.bsh"
You must create a link in your Start Menu with this command so will be able to run it with Win-R.
Here is the man page of the runcommand:
$ man run
RUN(1) run 1.3.0 RUN(1)
NAME
run - start programs with hidden console window
SYNOPSIS
run [ -p path ] command [ -wait ] arguments
runcommand [ -p path ] [ -wait ] arguments
DESCRIPTION
Windows programs are either GUI programs or console programs. When
started console programs will either attach to an existing console
or create a new one. GUI programs can never attach to an exiting con‐
sole. There is no way to attach to an existing console but hide it if
started as GUI program.
run will do this for you. It works as intermediate and starts a pro‐
gram but makes the console window hidden.
With -p path you can add path to the PATH environment variable.
Issuing -wait as first program argument will make run wait for program
completition, otherwise it returns immediately.
The second variant is for creating wrappers. If the executable is
named runcommand (eg runemacs), run will try to start the program (eg
emacs).
EXAMPLES
run -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm
run emacs -wait
runemacs -wait
run make -wait

You can use either...
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -l /path/to/script_to_interpret.sh
...or...
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -l -c /path/to/executable_script.sh
Note: the -l flag tell bash to "act as if it had been directly invoked by login" and use Bash Startup Files. This is important in that it sets your $PATH and other things you rely on when you launch a cygwin terminal. If you don't include -l or --login you will get "command not found" when you try to call anything except of a bash builtin.
The difference between the 2 is like the difference between doing...
bash script_to_interpret.sh
...and...
./executable_script.sh
...in *nix. The former interprets the script using bash. The latter executes the script (only if it has chmod +x executable_script.sh) and interprets it according to its "shebang" line. The latter method is also what you want to do if your executable is not a script at all, like a *nix binary compiled from source.)
It has been bugging me for a while I couldn't find the solution for this, but I finally got the right mix together.
You can simply do the following if you have cygwin on your PATH:
run bash test.js
If cygwin is not on your path, you can do this:
c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /bin bash test.js
If you are looking for more control over the created window (maximize, etc) it looks like you can use cygstart also.

As the terminal can't close while your script is still running, try the command:
"nohup C:\foo.bsh; exit"
This way your script will be backgrounded and detached from the terminal, and it should exit quickly so the terminal goes away. I think that the window may still 'flash' with this approach, but the results should be better than what you're getting.
I'm running Cygwin64 and the xwin server link points to:
C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
This creates an icon AND a notification on the taskbar. I don't like that. The icon is rather useless, the notification has all your menu options from .XWinrc.
So... I wrote a .vbs script to silently run this command and make the icon go away:
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run("C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe"), 0
Another imperfect possibility is to run the script via a shortcut and set the shortcut's Run option to "minimized".
Go to the directory where you have installed cygwin(on my machine it is c:/cygwin64/bin)
Once there simply type "bash.exe"
