TIMEOUT

[Sergio Charpinel Jr.]

Hi,
I'm in this mailing list, and I dont know if I am in the right place. If it
doesnt, tell me.
So, first of all, I'm trying to find a way to combine TMOUT variable with
vlock. I just found a way to do this in zhs. And if it is not possible, I
need to set TIMEOUT just for root, and it can't logout when root is using
screen.
I tried to do something, but I'm new in bash. My "script" didnt work.

for f in $( ps ax ); do
if [ $f == "SCREEN" ]; then
export TMOUT=0
fi
done

Help??
Thanks

Brace expansion

[Ray Parrish]

Hello,

I'm attempting to study Brace Expansion at the same named page at 
bash-hackers.org and it states the following -

Generate numbers with a prefix 001 002 ...

Using a prefix:

for i in 0{1..9} 10; do printf "%d\n" "$i";done

However I am getting *this* output when running their command in 
Terminal In Ubuntu 8.04


r...@ray-desktop:~$ for i in 0{1..9} 10; do printf "%d\n" "$i";done
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
bash: printf: 08: invalid number
0
bash: printf: 09: invalid number
0
10

So... what gives??? I tried looking at info coreutils 'printf 
invocation', and it does not even explicitly spell out what the %d 
argument means, instead it just tells me "it's like the C printf, except 
for these differences". I have never used C, and have no idea where to 
look it up, so what good is that info page??? I'm trying to learn bash, 
and have no desire to learn to program in C.


Later, Ray Parrish

Numbers beginnig with 0 are required to be interpreted as octal
numbers. 08 and 08 ar enot valid octal numbers.

for i in 0{1..9} 10; do printf "%02d\n" "$[i#0}";done

 Or:

printf "%02d\n" {1..10}

Or, in bash4.0:

printf "%s\n" {01..10}
