Perfect!!!

The output is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Thank you SO MUCH!

I'm afraid I don't really understand the problem that you are having.

But let me try to do this again.

Any file in a folder may,or may not, contain the words star, startle, started,...

Your suggested commands "work" - thank you - but the output is not what I want/need.

As I tried to explain earlier, I need the output to be just the sought after text - D00111 or whatever. Not...

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I guess I misled you. Sorry.

The sought text could be any length (D0010, D00022, D00045, ...) BUT all starting with D00 ...

So think:

look for...

I have a bunch of files in a bunch of sub-directories which may or may not contain specific text.

For instance D001, D002, D003 ... may be in the files.

I need to output a list of which TEXT(s)...

I have a bunch of .mkv files that I want to put on to playable DVD's.

The files are all about 670Mb.

I added the first 6 to DeVeDe making no modifications to the defaults and, admittedly after...

You seem to be saying that my only (potential) fix is access to a Windows computer.

Is that correct?

If so, that's a pretty sad indictment of Linux capabilities. And an added impetus to not...

Interesting - (close to) Windows got replaced by **********

The HD is external "spinning".

It is (unfortunately I think) formatted to NTFS.

Since no software identifies the drive (it not being mounted/mountable) I have not been able to "CLI mount".

I...

I think the 'not mounting' situation was caused by the external HD losing power during a back up with "back in time".

In any event, the drive now refuses to mount.

Given the contents of the...

Sorry to say I haven't been able to figure out the Gnome version. But ubuntu is 18.04.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Yes I consulted the man page. Perhaps I am missing something but the two scenarios - I don't think ... - pertain to my problem situation. I don't want a...

Purportedly TLP will allow for starting and ending battery charging for Lenovo Think Pads at user selected levels. For example start at 40% and cut out at 80%.

But none of my efforts to get this...

I'm quite sure that the remedy is with someone on this forum.

I have long used crontab to open web pages in firefox with "commands" like the following:


30 06 * * * export DISPLAY=:0...

That did it, 3nd.

Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

Thanks for taking the time to get back to me.

It never occurred to me that this is (might be) a phone problem - hence me omitting details of the phone. And, that said, this wouldn't be the place...

When I connect my cell phone the system insists it contains digital photos (it does not) but it has two folders FOR digital photos and only displays those 2 folders.

I want to copy, paste, edit,...

I really need to stop doing this. But:

This


at> export DISPLAY=:0 && firefox https://www.ted.com/

which DOES open your GUI, works just fine.

And yet, the command which "should" open a...

I guess I left a couple of loose ends ...

I have never used ssh to remote into another computer?

I do not use X/Windows.

I have not tried the alarm-clock-applet?

As I said earlier I have...

i believe I have tried every suggestion offered in this thread. To no avail.

And just to perhaps clarify, firefox is NOT running when I bash, or sh, the script. It opens firefox, successfully,...

My confusion continues.

ActionParsnip seems to be suggesting that, if I EVER get the path right, this should work - i.e. "at" runs a script and the script "executes.

You TheFu seems to be...

Unless I missed it (again) I don't think anyone expressed any desire to see the apparently offending script.

That said, here it is:


#!/bin/bash -x...

Yes TheFu, I did miss that. Sorry.

So ... I changed


#!/bin/sh

to

So Doug S, are you saying that "at" is simply not capable of doing what I want - running an ".sh" script which opens web pages?

If that is not what you are saying then, sorry, but I have no idea...

Doug S, I am so sorry but I have no idea what better information I can give you.

I ran "at".

It appeared in the atq queue.

It ran at the appropriate time - disappearing from the atq queue.
