Re: terminal problems with escape characters

Re: terminal problems with escape characters

[Miguel González Castaños]

Many thanks for the fancy telnet client.

I am going to specify my problem a little bit more:

I have set TERM to 'linux'.

When I edit with the vi program (or the bash prompt) delete and backspace works fine,
but not control characters, like
the Up, Down, Left,Right arrow keys, instead of that I get:

^[[B ,  ^[[A , ^[[C , ^[[D

I hope this is a more specific information on this issue. I have looked around in some
web sites, but I still cant figure
out how to fix it.

Many thanks

Miguel

difference btw CGI and HTML scripts

[simon Shaw]

Hi..

Could you tell him what is the difference between HTML and CGI scripts??  
What is the relationship between them? When we need to create CGI script in 
/var/www/cgi-bin/ compare to the html scripts in /var/www/html/*.html

Look, I don't mean to sound harsh here, but if you can't figure this out
yourself by reading the available documentation, an answer from someone
on this list is probably not going to be meaningful or useful to you.

It might sound a little less harsh if you provide a pointer for him.

Simon,  what Tyler is saying (and I agree) is that the nature of your question shows how little you know about HTML in general and no one here really has the time to provide a tutorial for you.  I would suggest a class or online tutorial to get you up to
speed.  I first started with the O-Reilly books for basic HTML web pages.  There are many other good books available.

The short, high-level (and incomplete) answer to your question is that HTML code is essentially the I/O of a web page and CGI scripts are the logic.  A web page will collect user data and invoke the CGI script when you push the "submit" button.  The script
should output the results in HTML code.

Linux Backups

[Ed Walsh]

Hi All,

I'm getting a little fustrated with linux backup. I have about 30GB of data
residing on RedHat linux 7.1 that needs to be backed up. I've done backup
with GNU tar with compression but it only backs up 2GB worth of data onto
another machine. However, if I have 7GB of free space on the same machine,
tar will go over the 2GB limit. So that part confuses me.

I'm kinda hoping that someone knows a better way of backing up large data.
I've somewhat been reading Amanda but I'm not sure if that's the way to go.
I may be wrong since I'm new to linux backups.

Any suggestions/recommendations or pointers to go to websites to research on
would be greatly appreciated. Not having much luck on my own.

Thanks,
Ed

It seems you are stuck with 2Gb filesize limit, if so
you can try splitting them into 2Gb chunks, eg:

[/bdir] $ tar -cvzf - /data/to/backup | split -b2000m - mybackup.gz.

or

[/from/anydir] $ tar ... | (cd /bdir; split ... )

It will create mybackup.aa, mybackup.ab, .ac ... etc,
into /bdir, w/ size approx 2Gb each.

To restore, just do:

cat /bdir/mybackup.gz.* | tar -xvzf -

more info: man 1 split (from textutils package)

Hope this could help you.

terminal problems with escape characters

[Miguel González Castaños]

I have a RedHat 7.3 linux box. I have enabled the telnet server.

I am trying to telnet my linux box from a unix-like system where the default
terminal setting is set to ansi.

I have succesfully changed the setting for the TERM variable to 'linux' or 'vt100'
or even 'xterm' (as I have found in several news).

But I am still experiencing when I edit files with the vi program, because of the
escape characters like the ones to move the cursor dont work...That´s my main
problem.

Anyway, I have thought that maybe it was due that I was telneting to the Unix box
using  the Windows 2000 telnet, but I have tried to use other telnet programs
(like putty), but I cant figure out what I have to change in the linux box
settings (or the telnet client)...

Many thanks in advance...

Miguel

It's the keymap settings that need changing or expanding.

Re: terminal problems with escape characters

[Miguel González Castaños]

Hi,

 Many thanks, but how can I change or expand the keymap settings rightly in
order that the other way of telneting my box still works and I can telnet
from the unix box?

 Many thanks again

 Miguel

I think the linux speakup site has a keymap editing tutorial but don't
know if it has the information in it you need.
