One-click connect from cygwin to full-screen Linux (X stuff required)

debedb (http://www.hrum.org) — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 22:13:49 GMT

Optional: execute the following once (see http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/66 for
details), to avoid typing in the password.



set LINUX_HOST=mylinuxhost

ssh-keygen -t rsa

ssh %USERNAME%@%LINUX_HOST% "mkdir .ssh; chmod 0700 .ssh"

bash -c 'scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub %LINUX_HOST%:.ssh/authorized_keys2'

Now, if you save the following as a BATCH file, you can just click it
to connect to fullscreen Linux:



set LINUX_HOST=mylinuxhost

start /min xinit 

xhost +%LINUX_HOST%

ssh %LINUX_HOST% "declare -x DISPLAY=%COMPUTERNAME%:0; echo $DISPLAY;gnome-session"'

NOTES:
1.
Sometimes xhost + does not execute in time. O well. Just close
all windows that got opened and try again.

2.
If you didn't do the step one (ssh keys), you will be prompted
to enter the linux password; this increases the chances of the above
error.

3.
The single terminal window appearing in the Linux desktop is in fact
a window from your PC.

Lowercasing a string in BAT files

debedb (http://www.hrum.org) — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 06:30:21 GMT

Using this silliness, here's an example of BAT file that will
lower-case a string given as an argument.



echo>%1

dir /b/l %1>lower.tmp

set /p result=echo %result%

Saving this as lower.bat, I run



lower "HELLO WORLD"

and get

hello world

as a result

Using Unix shell's backquote functionality in DOS/Windows batch files

debedb (http://www.hrum.org) — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 06:23:23 GMT

In BAT files, an equivalent of a Unix shell's



set foo `bar`

can be accomplished as



bar>bar.tmp

set /p foo=

If you're spoiled by Unix's notion of
true pipes, note that the following:



bar | set /p foo=

does not work.
