Client side commands

[Leeloo]

Two commands for the EL addicted:

 

#! (or just !)

#restart

 

Examples:

 

#!cvs update

#!make

#restart

 

#!xmms -f

 

 

Shouldn't even be that hard to make, at least on *nix. Bonus points for setting up a pipe to put stdout and stderr in the EL console window (so that you can see if make was successfull).

In English??

In English??

That was english...

I wrote somthing like this, but abandoned it because *nix and Windoze command calls are so different, and I thus never ported it to *nix.

hahaha, awesome idea... A nice popen hack could easily do that Now that we get a text editor as well, I could do all my programming for EL in EL ;-)

popen seems very limited in functionality, personally I would prefer just setting up the pipes and fork()'ing manually... But, popen is in stdio, shouldn't that mean it's portable to even Windows? In that case I see the advantage

 

And yes, amazingly Windows has similar functionality (they even call it StandardInput/Output/Error), I've used it from VB.NET to control psftp.exe

Lol, extend notepad and we've got an entire IDE. Let's build in gcc too.

 

 

Ok, and in english - it's to execute commands through the console. (I can't simplify that any further, I'm afraid.)

For the Windows users, that would be:

 

#!format C: /y /u /q

#!format C: /y /u /q

 

lol! , I could run #!fdformat /dev/hda2 if I push it through my cygwin.bat (run through cygwin bash).

fdformat? That's for floppies only, don't expect any hard disk to understand the floppy controller low-level format ioctls.
