Couple of days back, I had posted a command to display a stop timer with bash and echo. There I had also put the following gif file:

Here the tricky part was to capture the jpg’s to create the gif file.

Preparation:

Rename the terminal to aka – amit-capture

Execute the command once with the import command and check the output and jpg’s

bash – echo command with option to display the output on the same line.

2010-09-21 2 min read Bash Fedora Learning Linux

Here is a nice little trick to display the output in the same line :

  <td>
    <div class="bash codecolorer">
      &nbsp;<span class="kw3">echo</span> <span class="re5">-ne</span> <span class="st0">"output\<span class="es1">\r</span>"</span>
    </div>
  </td>
</tr>

The trick here is simple, first we disable the <a class="zem_slink" title="Newline" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline">newline printed by <a class="zem_slink" title="Echo (command)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_%28command%29">echo command with the ”-n” option and then we enable the interpretation of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Backslash" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backslash">backslash characters with the ”-e” option. As the ”\r” is used as <a class="zem_slink" title="Carriage return" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_return">carriage return which brings you to the start of the line without the newline (like in <a class="zem_slink" title="Typewriter" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter">typewriter), we will use the same to get the desired effect. So, if you wanted a stopwatch for a 100 seconds on the console then this simple bash <a class="zem_slink" title="For loop" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_loop">for loop would do the same:

Here is description of program/utility to display the currently logged in user in a Linux box (tried on Fedora 13 Goddard):

Whowatch is an interactive console utility that displays informations about the users currently logged on to the machine, in real time.

In the process tree mode there is ability to send INT or KILL signal to selected process.

My comment : fc is the fix command of the bash builtin.
