Linux Tutorial Eight
8.1 UNIX Variables
Variables are a way of passing information from the shell to programs when you run them. Programs look “in the environment” for particular variables and if they are found will use the values stored. Some are set by the system, others by you, yet others by the shell, or any program that loads another program.text/html2022-09-23T00:41:00+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)03

Printer Name Changes and your .bashrc
If you are having problems with command line printing it may be because your .bashrc is not using the correct printer name.
Have a look at your .bashrc file. Near the top there are some lines that set your default printer. If they don't look like the lines below, then cut out everything in your .bashrc from &&````````````text/html2026-01-21T06:00:08+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)tech_ref

Electronic Submission
You should make a cs377 directory under your home directory on your CS account, and protect it:
$ cd
$ mkdir cs377
$ chmod 700 cs377
Your programming assignments should each be saved in a subdirectory named cs377. This makes it easy to use the submit377 script for each individual assignment, as well as keeps your assignments organized.text/html2017-04-18T19:20:06+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)top

SSH Keys on Microsoft Windows using the PuTTY Utility
SSH keys are what you will use to establish an encrypted connection over the network, e.g. the internet, between your system and a remote machine. The default type of key to generate is RSA which is good for most purposes. RSA is universally supported among SSH clients. Note that EdDSA performs much faster and provides the same level of security with significantly smaller keys.

Using the pickup script with your course
What it is
The pickup script is a companion to the submit script.
Pickup allows you to place files for pickup in your course directories such that those files cannot be read by your students until they run this script. At that time an entry is logged showing the date, time, user and directory that was picked up. If your students attempt to kill the script (say, after it copies the files and before it logs that it has) that attempt will also be logged…text/html2011-02-11T11:41:52+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)software

Multihome Dokuwiki Hacks
I use the article by Lukas Ruf on setting up dokuwiki on a mutihomed web server to allow multiple separate wikis to run on one machine. The article is available at <http://wiki.lpr.ch/doku.php/multihomed>.
These are a few things I have done in addition to the suggestions in the article.text/html2008-02-20T19:02:46+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)z80asm_in_emacs

Using emacs with z80asm
First off, I want to state I am not a lisp podgammer
OK, now that that is out of the way, this is what I added to my .emacs when I started using z80asm to work with z80 assembly code. It adds ASM to the list of extensions that will put you into asm-mode for editing assembly code and defines the compile command the way I wanted it. If there is a better way to do these tasks please let me know.text/html2008-05-11T23:29:51+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)hacks

Emacs Tips
Emacs Command Shorthand
From the emacs built in tutorial
Emacs commands generally involve the CONTROL key (sometimes labeled
CTRL or CTL) or the META key (sometimes labeled EDIT or ALT). Rather than
write that in full each time, we'll use the following abbreviations:
C-<chr> means hold the CONTROL key while typing the character <chr>
Thus, C-f would be: hold the CONTROL key and type f.
M-<chr> means hold the META or EDIT or ALT key down while typing <chr>.
