Shell Server Rules

2011-08-05T12:18:46Z

Agmeyer: Added rule about sharing accounts

Rules for use of sekhmet, the LUG shell server:
# <strong>Do not, under any circumstances, for any reason whatsoever, ever share your account with anyone else no matter who they may be. If they need access to sekhmet, refer them to an admin for an account. Accounts for non-members may be considered, and accounts for non-students will be rare.</strong>
# Your initial password will be set to expire immediately on first login, use a decent password for this account.
# Follow all MTU Computer (and Network) Use Policies -- if it is against the school rules, do not do it.
# Do not piss off the server admin -- admins are our friends.
# Be courteous with use -- high-resource use is OK, but moderate it so others get a share.
# Keep only volatile data on sekhmet -- no backups are made, and data may be lost at any time.
# Keep your home directory tidy -- a 36GB drive is dedicated to /home, and quotas will be instated if needed.
# Use /scratch for large, volatile data.
# Compiling stuff for your own use is OK, but it is better if we can get it from a repo -- if you want software installed, ask an admin.
# If using IRSSI or other IRC client on sekhmet, please be courteous and make use of /away statuses rather than nick changes to indicate short periods of inactivity. In this instance, short is any period shorter than a week.

Internet Relay Chat

Agmeyer:

The LUG operates an [[Wikipedia:Internet_Relay_Chat|IRC]] service on our server.

* Normal: lug.mtu.edu:6667
* SSL: lug.mtu.edu:6669

Your IRC Ops are [[User: agmeyer|agmlego]], [[User: mjgardes|mjgardes]], [[User: ehntoo|ehntoo]], and [[User: lltowne|nor]]

Most conversation is generally found in #mtu.

HuskyBot is an infobot, knows many interesting factoids, and generally shares these right when you don't need to hear them.

Statistics: [http://lug.mtu.edu/ircstats/lugmtu.html #mtu]

Use of proxies are forbidden. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the IRC Op.

How to use IRC with Pidgin [http://www.csl.mtu.edu/~agmeyer/pidgin.html]

CustomBashPrompt

2009-10-22T23:05:00Z

Agmeyer: Outline!

<pre>
1. default prompt "\u@\h:\w\$ "
\u username
\h hostname
\w current working directory
\$ # if UID is 0 (root), $ otherwise
2. Pretty colors! \[ and \] keep bash from using the enclosed text in prompt-length calculations
\e[XX;YYm for color, XX is foreground, YY is background. ;1 gives bold foreground, background unnecessary
if default desired
\e[0m resets to default, useful at end of prompt.

Foreground
30 black
31 red
32 green
33 yellow
34 blue
35 purple
36 teal
37 white

Background
40 black
41 red
42 green
43 yellow
44 blue
45 purple
46 teal
47 white
"\[\e[32;1m\]\u@\h:\w\$ \[\e[0m\]" all green
"\[\e[31;1m\]\u\[\e[0m\]@\[\e[33;1m\]\h\[\e[0m\]:\[\e[36;1m\]\w\[\e[32;1m\]\$ \[\e[0m\]" red user, yellow
hostname, teal cwd, green UID symbol
3. Informative but kind of bulky and boring. In .bashrc, we can test if we are in an xterm or not using:
if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]
If we are, let us put some information up in the xterm titlebar, using the escape sequences "\[\e]2;" "\a"
if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]
then
export PS1="\[\e[32;1m\]\u@\h:\W\$ \[\e[0m\]"
else
export PS1="\[\e]2;\u@\h:\W\a\e[32;1m\]\$\[\e[0m\] "
fi
Puts username, host, and base of cwd in titlebar, and leaves the UID symbol as prompt in green
4. Scripts! So, if we have scripts that produce output without newlines, we can include them in our prompt by
enclosing the call in $()
Battery status is useful on laptops, so we have a script that puts percentage and status (charging,
discharging, or charged) in a compact form, and colors the percentage based on number (red under
15%, yellow under 30%, green else
"[ \$(/home/agmlego/bin/battery-status) ] \[\e]2;\u@\h:\W\a\e[32;1m\]\$\[\e[0m\] " Battery status followed
by UID symbol in green, username/host/cwd is in titlebar
5. Further customization:
\a an ASCII bell character (07)
\d the date in "Weekday Month Date" format (e.g., "Tue May 26")
\e an ASCII escape character (033)
\h the hostname up to the first '.'
\H the hostname
\j the number of jobs currently managed by the shell
\l the basename of the shell's terminal device name
\n newline
\r carriage return
\s the name of the shell, the basename of $0 (the portion following the final slash)
\t the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format
\T the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format
\@ the current time in 12-hour am/pm format
\u the username of the current user
\v the version of bash (e.g., 2.00)
\V the release of bash, version + patchlevel (e.g., 2.00.0)
\w the current working directory
\W the basename of the current working directory
\! the history number of this command
\# the command number of this command
\$ if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $
\nnn the character corresponding to the octal number nnn
\\ a backslash
\[ begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to embed a terminal control
sequence into the prompt
\] end a sequence of non-printing characters
</pre>

Jabber

2008-02-29T03:49:08Z

Agmeyer:

[[Image:jabber-signup.png|right]]

The LUG currently runs a Jabber server. Jabber is an open source instant messaging service which relies on independent servers. Once you have registered on a Jabber server, you can send messages to users on most other Jabber servers.

Once you've registered with LUG, your screenname will look like: foo@lug.mtu.edu.

To register, simply open up a client that supports Jabber (Pidgin[http://www.pidgin.im/] is great!) and add a new account. Then just enter the required information (see picture).
