I created a few .sh files and put them under one of the directories under $PATH. Unfortunately every time I start a new session I have to source them if I want to use them. I did a google search and couldn't really find what I am looking for to not having to source these files.
I guess I can place a source all command at ~/.bashrc but there should be a way to get this done in a simple way.
Thanks
Let's say all of your scripts are under the ~/.functions directory. Put this in your $HOME/.bashrc:
for file in ~/.functions/*
do
. $file
done
This will source in all files in the ~/.functions directory whenever you start a new shell.
Sourcing all commands in .bashrc is the simple way.
You may want a sophisticated way of sourcing your start scripts by creating a specific directory, say ~/.start_scripts, where you put all your commands, and write a loop in your .bashrc that sources whatever executable is in this directory. That way, you no longer have to edit .bashrc each time a new command is put in the .start_scripts directory.

Hi I'm trying to sync local files to a remote server, the files are copied, but the excluded files are not working.
What I want to exlude is some files, under some different folders for example:
htdocs/index.php
htdocs/.htaccess
htdocs/conf/Configuration.php
rsync -arvz --no-links --exclude-from 'excluded-files.txt' ./htdocs/ user#host:/var/www/test/htdocs/
What's going wrong?
Unless you are using -R, the exclude patterns are matched against the subdirectories of the from directory. In your case you must exclude index.php rather than htdocs/index.php, but that might match too many such files. By adding -R instead, the name you will test against will be ./htdocs/..., so the patterns will work, but you then need to remove htdocs from the destination directory, i.e. user#host:/var/www/test/

I have a code that looks for png files with a specific pattern on the desktop and moves them to another directory.
While going over the files, I want to check if there is the pattern in the name.
This is how I did it:
for %%f in (C:\Users\user\Desktop\*.png) do (
if %%f==Hearthstone Screenshot*.png (
move %%f C:\destination\
)
)
Note: All the needed files start with Hearthstone Screenshot then some numbers.
My main problem is in line 2. I can't make it work.
Depending upon you needs, perhaps this is what you're looking for…
#RoboCopy "%UserProfile%\Desktop" "%UserProfile%\Desktop\HearthStone_Screenshots" "HearthStone Screenshot*.png" /MOV>Nul 2>&1
This should automatically create the holding directory, HearthStone_Screenshots if it doesn't already exist.
Note:I have corrected what I'm assuming to be your very poor spelling issues. If those files and directories should be named using ea instead of ee please re-adjust as necessary.
What's wrong with this:
move C:\Users\user\Desktop\HearthstoneScreanshot*.png C:\Users\user\Desktop\Hearthstonescreanshot\

I hope that you can help me with the following problem: I want to implement a script that requires that $PATH variables has missing . value changes in it.
The point of the script is to find requested files and copy them to parent directory. I can do this using -execdir, but the problem is that . is defined in the $PATH.
Can you please tell me how can I provide a temporary replacement for the $PATH variable that can be valid only for the script execution.
Thanks
The shell allows you to set environment variables of an executable by passing them to the invocation. Like this:
PATH="/foo/bar" program

I don't have .bashrc file, I want to create one but how? And what does a basic .bashrc file contains? I am on Linux Mint 12
I want to have a .bashrc file, because i have created a folder for virtualenv and I want to load virtualenvwrapper
Why do you want one if you don't know what to put in there? You only need a .bashrc (or .profile or .bash_profile) if you actually have something you want to execute in every shell (or login shell).
But you can basically put any bash commands in those files.
A .bashrc file contains whatever default settings you want to use when you are using bash. If you don't have any particular preferences then leave it blank for now.
Typical contents of a .bashrc file includes aliases of commands you find yourself using a lot.

I'm wondering if it is possible to restore a file that is in the trash (~/.Trash) to its original location.
I understand there is a restore command but I don't understand its arguments or how to correctly use it.
Is this a fairly simple thing to do?
Cheers
If your desktop environment followed the XDG Trash Can Specification when trashing the file, then restore-trash from trash-cli would do the trick.
What desktop do you use?
.Trash is just a (hidden) directory. All you need to do is move it out:
mv ~/.Trash/foo ~/
or using the file browser of your desktop environment, open the trash and drag it out.
As far as I know, in the trash folder (~/.local/share/Trash/), there is a folder with the files (files/) and a folder with the file information (info/). Each file has an associated .trashinfo file in which the original path and time of deletion are stored. You can use that to restore the file to its original location.
