.bashrc

2014-07-31T20:16:31Z

Sasha:

{{Cleanup}}

A .bashrc or .bash_profile file contains settings that are applied to non-interactive or interactive shells respectively. All the things described in this document are applicable to both, so it's reasonable to create only one and symlink the other one to it (or include it by saying something like <tt>. ~/.bashrc</tt> in your <tt>.bash_profile</tt>).

==Simple things==
===Setting the PATH===
It's often nice to have more binaries directly accessible in your PATH environment variable. To do this, I use the following settings:
os=`uname -s`
if [ "$os" = "SunOS" ]; then
export PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/site/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/opt/csw/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/local/bin
else
if [ "$os" = "Linux" ]; then
export PATH=/usr/site/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin
fi
fi
if [ "$LOGNAME" = "root" ]; then
export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
fi

===Changing the prompt===
Having a colored prompt can be helpful to notice quickly where the prompt is in a long listing of output, and having a reminder who you are logged in as and where you are never hurts. To accomplish this, I use the following prompt:
export PS1="\[\033[34m\]\u\[\033[0m\]@\[\033[32m\]\h\[\033[0m\]:\[\033[31m\]\w\[\033[0m\]\\$ "
This gives your username in blue (i.e., if you sudo -s it'll be <tt>root</tt> instead of your username) followed by a black @ followed by the hostname of the machine you're on followed by a colon followed by the path to the current directory, followed by the sigil $ or # for user or root respectively. This format has the advantage of being usable by <tt>scp</tt>; if you have to copy a file from that directory onto another machine, you can copy/paste the whole string into your <tt>scp</tt> command.

===Changing the terminal name===
Setting the name of the terminal is reflected in the title bar in gnome-terminal, or with a similar mechanism for other terminals (or GNU screen). I use the following settings:
case $TERM in
xterm*)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}"; echo -ne "\007"'
;;
screen*)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}"; echo -ne "\033\\"'
;;
*)
;;
esac

===Changing your default pager===
<tt>more</tt> is for losers. Use <tt>less</tt> instead.
export PAGER=less

Mounting NTFS

2014-07-31T20:15:34Z

Sasha:

[[Category:RHEL5]]

{{Outdated}}

To mount NTFS USB drives under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5:

* Log into GNOME.

* Right-click on the desktop and select "Open Terminal". The UNIX shell terminal window will be needed for most steps.

* Insert the USB drive into the computer (if it is a hard disk, make sure it is powered-on).

* GNOME will automatically mount the drive, but it will be read-only. If there is no need for write-access to the drive, then the remaining steps will not be performed.

* In the terminal window, type
df -k

* The output will look something like this:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 74315464 13084632 57394916 19% /
/dev/sda6 505604 52947 426553 12% /afscache
tmpfs 2040284 0 2040284 0% /dev/shm
AFS 9000000 0 9000000 0% /afs
/dev/sdb1 247788 22720 225068 10% /media/VolumeName

* The import line to pay attention to is the USB drive that is currently mounted in the /media directory. The Volume Name of the USB drive will be whatever was used when the drive was formatted. The first column (labeled Filesystem) is the USB drive device. This device name will be needed later in the instructions.

* This is unintuitive, but the USB drive will need to be unmounted from GNOME, but keep the drive plugged into the computer. To unmount the drive, Select Places > Computer. The Computer window will open. Right-click on the USB drive and select "Unmount Volume".

* In the terminal window, you will want to manually mount the USB drive. The mount point is going to be /mnt (if multiple USB drives are to be attached, each one has to have a unique mount point--the quick and dirty way to make a new mount point is to make a new directory in /tmp [and use that instead of /mnt --the mount point name would then have to written fully out such as /tmp/DirectoryName ). The device name will be whatever was listed in the df output for the USB drive. The command and its arguments are:
$ mount <dev-name> /mnt

To unmount the USB drive, make sure you type in the terminal window:
$ /bin/fusermount -u /mnt
