    Solved dd disc clone advice

    Came into the office this morning and the progress bar from pv showed 90% and no errors. That seemed odd? Was it reporting that it only copied out the actual data and partition info? In any case I mounted both source and destination discs at /mnt/ada1 and /mnt/ada2 - then issued an 'du -s' in...

    UFS How to access data from degraded mirror?

    I know what I *should* do - but I don't have a second disc currently and want to access the data. Is it possible to take that disc out of the RAID and access it via UFS?

    Shell Run Box using only script / term

    I didn't get very far lol but I ran from my window manager "Run" f.exec "xterm -fg black -bg white -geometry 25x1 -T Run -e ~/run.sh &" # Run Box #!/bin/bash read input exec $input Of course my downfall is that my run box stays on the screen until exited. And if I add & to the end of the...

    Shell Run Box using only script / term

    Maybe I am not describing this very well or using the right terms however... #xterm -geometry 50x1 & Creates a small window that stays on the screen. Yes, you can launch / execute other programs from it but it remains on the screen until you click 'X' or type in 'exit' - in other words is...

    Shell Run Box using only script / term

    Yes, and it persists until exit. It also shows the prompt which my original bash didnt. I'm trying to re-create something like fbrun or similar. Need to figure how to wait for input, then execute that input, then quit. xterm -e command is fine for the x part - but its the user input and how to...

    Thanks for replies so far. I want to do this in as little resource as possible. I have virtually no scripting skills but can learn from examples. Wouldn't that xterm line persist once the command was run?

    Shell Run Box using only script / term

    Hi All, A few years ago and with quite a lot of help from the forums I created my own 'Run Box' [can be seen at bottom of this screen shot] http://www.vtwm.org/image/vtwm-screenshot-graham-bentley.jpg It had fairly low requirement, just a short script which waited for user input then executed...
