I have a command, for example 'git diff' that output a colorized result when I run it from the terminal. Now, I want to call that command from a CLI php script and display in the console the colorized result. I have try with exec(), system(), passthru() but in all case the output has been converted to plain black and white text. Is there a way to preserve the color of the standard result? If not, does someone know why this information get lost? In all likelihood the command you are running is checking to see if output is to a terminal and not colorizing it if it isn't. There is usually a way

I'm working on a dictionary server via telnet, and I'd like it to return it in this format: **word** (wordType): wordDef wordDef wordDef wordDef wordDef wordDef wordDef. Right now I'm outputting the code using: write( my_socket, ("%s", word.data() ), word.length() ); // Bold this write( my_socket, ("%s", theRest.data() ), theRest.length() ); So I'd like that first line to be bolded. Edit Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is for a command line. Consider using using something like VT100 escape sequences . Since your server is telnet based the user is likely to have a client that supports

I,m trying to run one php script in background. But its no working... I can only run directly from the ssh terminal. Using the same cli script.

I want the following structure in my database with the cassandra -cli for example I have a person with an address and the address contains a zipcode, housenumber etc schematic it looks like this: name: "address", value: { city: {name: "city", value: "San Francisco"}, street: {name: "street", value: "555 Union Street"}, zip: {name: "zipcode", value: "94105"}, } I know how to create a supercolumn and normal columns.

Is there a way in Laravel 4 to run my controller/action using PHP-CLI? I have a controller/action that I would like to extend to perform an alternative action if the request comes from the CLI, so is there a way to identify the request as a CLI request? The Laravel documentation on this site seems to suggest that there is a method Request::cli() for determining if the current request is via the Artisan CLI but when I used the method in Laravel 4, it throws an error: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Http\Request::cli() Basically, I have just moved from CakePHP to Laravel and would like to

Was wondering. Is there any CLI tool available for Amazon S3 to play around with files/folders, actions like move , delete , etc. Basically I got a task where I have to move bunch (a lot) of files from a bucket to a folder on the same bucket, so that I don't have to see whole files when I open the bucket in S3 console. I am expecting a tool or kind of script which help me move files from one place to a folder on the same bucket. A few days ago, Amazon added new file commands. The AWS CLI webpage is at http://aws.amazon.com/cli/#file These are python scripts (Python 2.6 or higher required). On
