command-line-interface

I know that in a php script: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); will follow redirects. Is there a way to follow redirects with command line cURL? Use the location header flag: curl -L <URL> user3817445 I had a similar problem. I am posting my solution here because I believe it might help one of the commenters. For me, the obstacle was that the page required a login and then gave me a new URL through javascript. Here is what I had to do: curl -c cookiejar -g -O -J -L -F "j_username=yourusename" -F "j_password=yourpassword" <URL> Note that j_username and j_password is the name of

I know that PHP CLI is usually used because of none time limits and primary because it is not using Apache threads/processes. But is there any way how to explicitly set the max_execution_time for some scripts which i don't want to have the freedom of "unlimited time" and just want to keep those script under control? If you think this question may be better answered on superuser.com and have permission to move it, do it. :) Edit : I've been Googling a bit and found the right parameter: php -d max_execution_time=5 script.php Jon The documentation says that when running in command line mode, the

Investigating a bug, I discovered it was due to this weirdness in c#: sbyte[] foo = new sbyte[10]; object bar = foo; Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2} {3}", foo is sbyte[], foo is byte[], bar is sbyte[], bar is byte[]); The output is "True False True True", while I would have expected " bar is byte[] " to return False. Apparently bar is both a byte[] and an sbyte[] ? The same happens for other signed/unsigned types like Int32[] vs UInt32[] , but not for say Int32[] vs Int64[] . Can anyone explain this behavior? This is in .NET 3.5. UPDATE: I've used this question as the basis for a blog entry,

I want to call up an editor in a python script to solicit input from the user, much like crontab e or git commit does. Here's a snippet from what I have running so far. (In the future, I might use $EDITOR instead of vim so that folks can customize to their liking.) tmp_file = '/tmp/up.'+''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase + string.digits) for x in range(6)) edit_call = [ "vim",tmp_file] edit = subprocess.Popen(edit_call,stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True ) My problem is that by using Popen, it seems to keep my i/o with the python script from going into the

I have a Rakefile with a Rake task that I would normally call from the command line: rake blog:post Title I'd like to write a Ruby script that calls that Rake task multiple times, but the only solution I see is shelling out using `` (backticks) or system . What's the right way to do this? from timocracy.com : require 'rake' require 'rake/rdoctask' require 'rake/testtask' require 'tasks/rails' def capture_stdout s = StringIO.new oldstdout = $stdout $stdout = s yield s.string ensure $stdout = oldstdout end Rake.application.rake_require '../../lib/tasks/metric_fetcher' results = capture_stdout

In .NET framework, you can make a single .EXE file that will run from the command line without having any extra config files (and if using ILMerge, you can put all .DLL references into the 1 .EXE assembly). I am taking a stab at using .NET Core to accomplish the same thing, but so far without success. Even the simplest Hello World application with no dependencies requires there to be a file named <MyApp>.runtimeconfig.json in order to run using dotnet.exe . dotnet F:\temp\MyApp.dll The contents of the <MyApp>.runtimeconfig.json are as follows: { "runtimeOptions": { "framework": { "name":
