Can you try using this simple loop which loops in all sub-directories at one level deep and execute commands on it, for d in ./*/ ; do (cd “$d” && ls -al); done (cmd1 && cmd2) opens a sub-shell to run the commands. Since it is a child shell, the parent shell (the shell from … Read more
It seems I had issues with locale configuration and non UTF8 configuration In my case the fix was: export LC_ALL=”en_US.UTF-8″ and keep it permanent adding the line to .zshrc: echo “export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8” >> .zshrc More info in Ubuntu doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
I found it’s a combination: One The ZSH developers do not think that ZSH should define the actions of the Home, End, Del, … keys. Debian and Ubuntu fix this by defining the normal actions the average user would expect in the global /etc/zsh/zshrc file. Following the relevant code (it is the same on Debian … Read more
When defining a function, you cannot specify required arguments. That’s why using both the function keyword and parens () seems useless to me. To get the passed arguments, use positional parameters. The positional parameters provide access to the command-line arguments of a shell function, shell script, or the shell itself; […] The parameter n, where … Read more
I think trap 0 is executed just prior to script termination in all cases, so is useful for cleanup functionality (like removing temporary files, etc). The other signals can have specialized error handling but should terminate the script (that is, call exit). What you have described, I believe, would actually execute cmd twice. Once for … Read more
The solution is to use the @ modifier, as indicated in the zsh docs: string=”1::3″ a=(“${(@s/:/)string}”) # @ modifier By the way, if one has the choice of the delimiter, it’s much easier and less error prone to use a newline as a delimiter. The right way to split the lines with zsh is then: … Read more
I figured this out. It was due to my config file. The part of the zsh config that wasn’t loading needed to be moved down after the plugins load. After moving that it all worked as expected.
You paste this line to append the path to MySQL to your environment variables: export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin/ Then reload your environment variables with one of the following commands: source ~/.zshrc # If you use Oh-My-Zsh source ~/.bashrc # If you use Default Bash
It seems that the RM_STAR_SILENT is NOT in effect. You could do setopt rmstarsilent either in the command line or in ~/.zshrc to tell zsh to not confirm a rm *. The shell option RM_STAR_SILENT is: Do not query the user before executing rm * or rm path/*. — zshoptions(1): RM_STAR_SILENT If you want to … Read more
If you’re using a recent version of zsh you can use an anonymous function: function () { local xyz=abc # whatever } The function will be automatically executed and then thrown away, it exists only for scoping purposes. This works for any sourced file, not only zshrc.
