You can also use 'echo' and with either echo or cat use shell redirection to append to a file. With newer bash you can even insert text at a certain point using 'read' (IIRC).

Disassembled into separate objects, then decompiled into alien-readable source code.

That's why I mentioned 'appliance'. The distributor certainly has a right to protect the core functionality of the device they sell or build for, by limiting the ability of the user to change or interfere with that. And android provides an example of how all the tradition and convention (in the runt...

'chmod abc filename' is a less arbitrary and invasive way to set/unset perms than using 'chmod 01234 filename'. Both uses are valid in their place. For instance, any sort of program installation or system setup would probably use the numeric syntax to be sure that the perms were correct according to...

I think it's not even accurate to call the ACA 'Obamacare'. His idea was to have Universal Health Care, but he didn't write the law or get his idea through. The bill was passed by mostly Republicans who had morphed the original idea from 'healthier people' into 'higher insurance premiums from more p...

The standard perms for executables is 755. Usually, the only exceptions are for deamons, servers and such, which belong to a special group so that permissions can be limited to just members of that group, and for setuid programs, like X, etc.

As you have found, the info is in the pinboard file. However, this: "if you (left) click on the icon placed on your desktop" the action that results from clicking on an icon is handled internally by the rox-filer. The action is context-specific, in that clicking on a directory icon opens t...

Neither setenv nor foreach are in bash or sh. Here's a quick translation into shell/bash code -should be pretty close, but I haven't checked it: #!/bin/bash # Environment path variables for the Qt package: if [ -z $QT4DIR ] ; then # It's best to use the generic directory to avoid # compiling in a ve...

That's not a correct use of the term 'toolchain'. That's a 'pipe' or series of pipes. toolchain refers to the compiler, linker, libc trio used to produce binary objects from source code. Of course, you are write about the beauty and simplicity of using pipes to combine multiple programs into any sor...

Actually, this forum is none other than the birthplace of 'alternative facts'. No single solution to a question has ever been offered here which would work on any, or even most puppy/user combinations. It may well be that no single solution has ever worked for _any_ other version/user. In this place...

More dependencies=not so good
Especially against lua is that it's notoriously hard to get/keep working across differing systems.
Since this editor is console-based, it doesn't compare or replace directly your GUI editor geany.

Dependence on lua is a drawback.

It was a parliament or house of lords, where the royalists sat on the right side of the floor and the republicans -those who wanted to govern themselves- sat on the left side. The royalists were 'conservative' because they wanted things to remain the same. The republicans were the 'liberals' because...

The main reason to learn *shell* programming (/bin/sh) is that it is always present on nearly every *NIX system. Bash has more features and is on *most* systems, so it is the most popular thing after 'sh' itself. More experienced admins probably go for 'zsh', Korn shell or use perl instead.

Barry, anything that goes through X in any way is a security threat because the server runs suid. Anyone who can crash that server with malformed code, or uses a known bug, can get root access. Really containers are just a variation of the idea of chroot. And overlayfs is simply a LinusTorwald-appro...

Had a friend with an rd350b -'twas like lightning!

demos, example and tests seem like probable candidates. mkspecs might only be related to compiling qt apps.

You could also parse the output of the mount command.

adb is 'android debugger' which lets you remotely access the android device from your PC. It is usable on all android devices. fastboot is similar, but does not work on all devices -it is dependent on there being a certain kind of bootloader -google devices are one of several brands/models which can...

'man fd 4' or see here:

Change 'fdn' to 'fd0' or 'fd1' as needed and experiment with the sizes, as needed.
