manpages from remote machines

Eduardo Ochs — 2008-04-12T11:00:41

Hi Xavier, You can use something like this... (defun find-netbsdman (manpage &rest rest) (let ((buffername (format "*netbsdman: %s*" manpage)) (format-string "ssh edrx< at >caramelo \"sh -c 'PAGER=cat man %s'\"") (command (format format-string manpage))) (apply 'find-eoutput-reuse buffername `(progn (insert (find-sh0 ,command)) (Man-fontify-manpage)) rest))) Note that the name of the remote machine is fixed ("caramelo"), and that you will need to be able to run commands on the remote mahine using ssh without it asking for a password... this is what I use to make ssh copy the adequate authorization keys: # (find-man "1 ssh-copy-id") # (find-man "1 ssh") # (find-fline "~/.ssh/") # (find-sh "locate ssh-copy-id") # (find-fline "/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id") ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub edrx< at >caramelo ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub edrx< at >dekooning And here are some definitions to make it easier to access files

Success !

Xavier Maillard — 2008-04-12T00:00:14

Hi, Just a quick message to say how thankful I am to all of you. I have successfully done my *real* first e-script in the *real* life. The job was way way easier to do with eepitch-shell than if I had to type all again by hand. I successfully migrated an Oracle Dataguard from one machine to another with very few keystrokes !! Thank you. Xavier

Questions

Xavier Maillard — 2008-04-12T00:00:16

Hi, Is there an easy way to the equivalent (find-man "blah") remotely instead of the current machine ? For the e-script needs I mentionned earlier, I typed my commands through eepitch-shell on a HP-UX commands which had different commands than the one I am using here. For example, (find-man "newfs") could not work on my notebook whereas it could have been on the remote host. Any clue ? Xavier

F3 binding conflict in emacs22

Nikos Apostolakis — 2008-04-08T16:49:37

Hello group, in emacs22 and higher f3 is by default bound to "kmacro-start-macro-or-insert-counter", a very convenient key IMHO. Unfortunately this binding conflicts with eev that bounds that key to "eeb-default". I use kboard macros all the time and I've grown accustomed to the f3 key so every time I (re-)install eev I cancel this binding and bound "eeb-default" to f7 instead. I wonder whether you could change this eev binding "officially". Thanks, Nikos

Hi Xavier, can you check if this makes sense, and report back? http://angg.twu.net/e/sqlite.e.html#sqlite3 http://angg.twu.net/e/sqlite.e Cheers, TIA, Edrx

Difference between eechannel-xterm and eebg-channel-xterm

Xavier Maillard — 2008-04-05T00:00:07

Hi, I am not sure I see differences between these two items. Can you explain it to me ? Regards, Xavier

any people around ?

Xavier Maillard — 2008-04-02T06:04:31

Hi, This is a control message to check that I am not alone on this mailing list :) Please get back to us so we can discuss tips and tricks about eev. Did you all quit ? Xavier

Spread emacswiki ?

Xavier Maillard — 2008-03-27T01:00:49

Hi, [This is for eev gurus] Why don't we try to show examples (even simple) of what an escript looks like and what we can do ? I am pretty sure it would help eev to be known. WDYT ? Xavier

Your recipes

Xavier Maillard — 2008-03-27T01:00:42

Hi, I am finding myselft to be not productive enough when writing escripts. I like the way they work, I like what I can do with them _but_ I guess I do not have the *good* method to feed my escripts all day long. Thus, I have almost nothing and I am still switching from emacs to a regular term/console window to type my commands. What would you recommend to help me be less shell-dependant ? What do you use ? Do you have "skeletons"/templates ? Regards Xavier

Any future for eev ?

Xavier Maillard — 2008-03-27T01:00:42

Hi, since I did not ear anything from you for ages, I am asking if you aare still working on it and with it. No rant, just a question :) Xavier

eechannel-do-this-line is not exactly working

Nikos Apostolakis — 2008-03-02T14:34:51

Hello group, For some reason the eechannel-do-this-line function is not working properly in my system. If I do: (eechanel-xterm "A") (eechannel "A") an xterm is opened as expected. But when I try to send lines to this xterm using I get the following messages: ,---- | Wrote /home/nea/.eev/eeg.A.str | apply: Searching for program: no such file or directory, kill -USR1 15387 `---- After that if I do (shell-command "kill -USR1 15387") the line is send to xterm and gets executed. This happens on a Debian/sid both with emacs22 and with the emacs snapshot (GNU Emacss 23.0.60.1). ,----[ cat ~/eev-current/VERSION ] | Wed Feb 1 04:18:06 GMT 2006 | Wed Feb 1 02:18:06 BRST 2006 `---- TIA, Nikos

eebg-gv does not working + eebg-xpdf

Nikos Apostolakis — 2008-03-02T13:44:13

Hello group, for some reason the original code of eebg doesn't work on my system (Debian sid, gv 3.6.2). With the following, rather trivial modification it seems to work fine: (defun find-pspage (fname &optional n &rest ignore) (interactive "fPS or PDF file: ") ;;;;;; nea: The following doesn't work: ;; (let ((command (format "gv -page %d %s &" (or n 1) fname))) ;; nea: begin my correction (let ((command (format "gv --page=%d %s &" (or n 1) fname))) ;; nea: end my correction (eev command nil) command)) (defun eebg-gv (fname &optional page gvargs) (interactive "fPS or PDF file: ") (apply 'start-process "gv" "*Messages*" (ee-flatten ;;;;;; nea: The following doesn't work: ;; "gv" (if page (list "-page" (format "%d" page))) gvargs ;; nea: begin my correction "gv" (if page (format "--page=%d" page)) gvargs ;; nea: end my correction. (ee-expand fname)))) Also, I usually prefer to open pdf files in xpdf since it offers options that gv is lacking, for example following hyper

on glyphs and CVS Emacs (or: everything is one)

Eduardo Ochs — 2008-02-28T16:43:23

Hello, and sorry for the delay again... I owe you some big answers, but at this moment I only have some brief notes about all the topics that I would like to cover, and I will have very little free time in the next 24 or 48 hours... A *very* quick summary, then... the unicode-2 branch was merged into CVS emacs; with this, my code for glyphs, and some other things, stopped working. The bugs that Xavier reported here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/eev/2008-02/msg00010.html http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.eev.devel/70 are all related to that. I spent a lot of time trying to track down what was happening, and trying to fix the code for glyphs and other stuff, and in the process I wrote a big bug report to bug-gnu-emacs: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2008-02/msg00132.html http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.bugs/17576 as a response to that Kim Storm added a new feature to CVS Emacs: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2008-02/msg00163.html http://article

Is eev functionality now integrated into the latest emacs22.1? What are the ramifications?

Eev development repository ?

Xavier Maillard — 2008-02-18T02:00:09

Hi there, Is the CVS repository opened to external contributions ? I'd be willing to help (not with code at first) by providing docs, e-scripts, etc... If not, is there a way to cvs update a local copy of my eev environment from time to time ? Also, are you considering to submit eev into GNU Emacs TRUNK sooner or later ? Thank you very much for your time and patience. Xavier

eev and terminals (console)

Xavier Maillard — 2008-02-15T13:04:33

Hi, I am reconsidering using eev for my daily work as a DBA. I am playing most of the time into linux console sending orders to several DB servers either using my local client or by connecting onto them through telnet/ssh. Is there some way to "command" a linux terminal (console) with the help of eev ? Xavier

Repository of the best escripts

Xavier Maillard — 2008-02-15T13:04:36

Hi, Are there any people interested in having a "community git repository" of our best productions (even if a escript could be quite "personnal") ? Xavier

C-q C-o ?

Xavier Maillard — 2008-02-15T13:04:35

Hi again, New message, new problem. What font do you use either on a normal linux vt (console) and in a graphical GNU Emacs session ? When I type C-q C-o in GNU Emacs when in the linux console, I am seeing ^O instead of the red star. In GNU Emacs on X, I am seeing a little square. This is not satisfying. What font are you using ? Xavier

eev vs linkd vs eon vs org

Xavier Maillard — 2007-09-10T04:56:50

Hi, I am keeping on trying to use eev, convinced by the fact that it could be useful at some point ;) I red a lot about eev and since I am also a great fan of dto's productions, I also tried his modes (linkd and derivated). My problem is this: how does eev differ from linkd exactly ? Do they deserve the same goals/objectives ? What about org-mode too ? I hope you wouldn't flame at me due to my lack of knowledge, I am just trying to understand all that stuff. Regards,

eev vs linkd vs org ?
