Wolfeyeslol @ the kid17:40
Wolfeyeskilos you a big kid17:41
Kiloswhy?17:41
Wolfeyeswhat you typed up there ^17:41
Kiloslol17:41
WolfeyesGot another question maybe you can answer it...17:41
Kiloste guys always asked me that and everytime i had to do ??17:41
Kilosseems memory is improving17:42
Wolfeyeshow do I put into the terminal a command from a script?17:42
Wolfeyeslike a batch file17:42
Kiloscopy paste17:42
Wolfeyeslol17:42
Wolfeyesno man17:42
pavlushkaWolfeyes: I am on my toes here, :|17:43
WolfeyesI want it to be in a script and when I click on the script it activates the terminal17:43
WolfeyesYou changing light bulbs pavlushka?17:43
Kiloson kde?17:43
Wolfeyesit's actually for windows, but I need to know the command going to a terminal like console (cygwin) within windows.17:44
Kilossjoe17:44
WolfeyesI get the program open but can't put commands into it17:44
Kilosi dont know if you will get that kinda help here17:44
Wolfeyes? 17:45
Wolfeyesit is for a terminal17:45
Kilospeeps here dont play with win17:45
Wolfeyesit is for a linux terminal17:45
Kilosyes i know17:46
Kiloshow would you do it on kde17:46
Wolfeyeswell that's what I am asking lol17:46
Wolfeyesnow you asking me the same thing back17:46
Kilosyou want to run a program from terminal17:47
Kilosthen you just type it in terminal17:47
WolfeyesI want to create a script, which opens a terminal and opens and runs a program according to the command put in17:47
Kiloslike i can start gparted by typing sudo gparted17:47
Kilosim the greeter bot here, maybe someone else can help17:48
Kiloswhat does google show you17:49
Wolfeyeslike lets say in the script there is, open terminal , and then putting the commands to update and upgrade your pc, so all you do is click on the script and your daily update and upgrade gets done.17:49
Kilosoh yes i been wanting to ask someone what is google fu17:49
Wolfeyesto many other things which is way off the topic17:50
Kiloswe use cron for that17:50
Kiloswell others do17:50
Wolfeyescron?17:50
Kilostry man cron17:50
Wolfeyesokay ty17:50
Kilosyou set up a cron job that does that stuff17:51
Kilosoh my you on win now17:51
KilosWolfeyes ^^17:51
MaNIxdg-terminal should open the system default terminal17:51
Kilosman dont work there17:51
Wolfeyesnope17:52
Wolfeyeskde17:52
Kilosah17:52
Wolfeyesthat is the right idea but now I want to do that from a batch file, can it be done?17:52
Wolfeyesmmmmm17:52
MaNIon kde you can use 'konsole' to open konsole which is the terminal application, but xdg-open - if it is present - is 'better' because it will work no matter what default terminal you switch too17:53
Wolfeyesmaybe cron is installable in windows17:53
Wolfeyesmmmm interesting17:53
MaNIa cron will allow you to run the script in an automatically scheduled way, which is a bit different from what you've asked for but of course not necessarily wrong17:53
inetproWolfeyes: what you want is the following17:54
inetprohttps://www.google.com/search?q=unattended+upgrades+ubuntu17:54
Kiloshttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto17:55
chesedoWolfeyes: does it have to open the terminal?17:56
Wolfeyeswell yes and no inetpro idea is right, wrong application - I want to open a terminal and then run a command to run stream editor in it, to edit a file with an error in it, because without editing the error it can't be imported into the computer software17:59
inetpro04/20 19:49:24 <Wolfeyes> like lets say in the script there is, open terminal , and then putting the commands to update and upgrade your pc, so all you do is click on the script and your daily update and upgrade gets done.18:00
inetproWolfeyes: that sounds different to what you wrote there ^^18:01
WolfeyesI was giving my father an example he could understand18:01
inetprooh my18:01
Wolfeyesopening the terminal is the same, what commmand you put there shouldn't make a difference to run the program18:02
inetprowell I don't understand you last example either18:02
Wolfeyesokay18:02
inetproyour*18:02
Wolfeyeslets try again18:02
WolfeyesI want to click on a script, which will open a terminal, then input a command into the terminal and run, which will be, "sed -i 's/oldtext/newtext/g' path", problem solved...18:04
MaNII do believe I already answered this, call xdg-open or konsole from the script (in decreasing order of preference) depending on whats available on your system - is there a reason this answer doesn't work for you?18:04
MaNI*xdg-terminal18:04
Wolfeyesand how do you put in a command to the xdg-open?18:05
Wolfeyesxdg-terminal*18:05
Wolfeyesfrom a script18:06
MaNIjust pass it as an argument - e.g. `xdg-terminal top`18:08
MaNIor `konsole -e top`18:09
Wolfeyesty for the help I will see if I come right with this18:12
Wolfeyesor google more18:12
Kilossjoe good luck18:13
