I have a local dev site on my machine with Apache server and PostgreSQL 9.1 database. As I'm using Windows, I also installed Cygwin. I want to access to database and make some queries via Cygwin insead of pgAdmin III, but it tells me that psql command not found. How should I set up the psql command in cygwin?
As of today, you just have to install postgresql-client package in cygwin:
Run your cygwin setup.exe file (this can be run multiple times to
add more packages).
Type postgresql into the search box, select postgresql-client and
press "next" to install.
Now you can open Cygwin terminal and type psql to run!
The best combo for Cygwin on Windows, I've found, is the normal Windows Postgres installation combined with Cygwin psql.
Cygwin psql (and other command-line tools) can be compiled from source fairly easily. Here's the steps for 9.2.4:
$ wget http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v9.2.4/postgresql-9.2.4.tar.bz2
$ tar xjf postgresql-9.2.4.tar.bz2
$ cd postgresql-9.2.4/
$ ./configure
$ cd src/bin/psql
$ make
This creates a psql.exe binary that works well with Cygwin. However, by default, it tries to connect to the local instance using a Unix socket instead of TCP. So use -h to specify the hostname and force TCP, for example:
$ ./psql -h localhost -U postgres
Move this psql.exe to someplace on your path (e.g. ~/bin) and possibly wrap in a script to add '-h localhost' for convenience when no other arguments supplied.
The source could be modified to change the default, but that takes actual work ;)
If I understand your question correctly you are running cygwin because you want to run queries against PostgreSQL via bash and psql on Windows, right?
Cygwin can run Windows binaries from bash, so install the native Windows builds and make sure psql.exe is in the PATH You should be able to copy the executable if necessary.
There is no need to install a native Cygwin build of PostgreSQL. Just use the existing psql tool, and make sure you can access the Windows-native psql.exe.

Hi I am looking to automate my file transfering to my Jailbroken iPhone over USB with a bash file. Which will launch the relay then do the file transfers
With this here I installed and successfully transfered files to my iPhone with cygwin but now I want to automate the file transfer.
First I need to start the relay with cygwin and those commands are required
cd pyusbmux/python-client/
chmod +x *
./tclrelay.py -t 22:2222
so I created a .sh file that does it but when I launch it cygwin gives me those errors
This is what should happen on the left and the result of the script on the right
How can I make cygwin open with thoses commands
In addition to be sure that tcpON.sh has proper line termination with d2u of dos2unix package:
d2u tcpON.sh
You should add a proper SHEBANG on the first line of your script
https://linuxize.com/post/bash-shebang/
#!/bin/bash
cd /cygdrive/e/Grez/Desktop
cd pyusbmux/python-client/
chmod +x *
./tclrelay.py -t 22:2222
You can use as base the Cygwin.bat and make a tcpON.bat batch file like:
C:
chdir c:\cygwin64\bin
bash --login /cygdrive/e/Grez/Desktop/tcpON.sh
Verify the proper cd command to be sure that you are always in the expected directory.
It is not the only way but probably the most flexible (IMHO)
I am trying to use the SSHOperator to SSH into a remote machine and run an external application through the command line. I have setup the SSH connection via the admin page.
This section of code is used to define the commands and the SSH connection to the external machine.
sshHook = SSHHook(ssh_conn_id='remote_comp')
command_1 ="""
cd /files/232-065/Rans
bash run.sh
"""
Where 'run.sh' runs the shell script:
#!/bin/sh
starccm+ -batch run_export.java Rans_Model.sim
Which simply runs the commercial software starccm+ with some options I have specified.
This section defines the task:
inlet_profile = SSHOperator(
task_id='inlet_profile',
ssh_hook=sshHook,
command=command_1
)
I have confirmed the SSH connection works by giving a simple 'ls' command and checking the output.
The error that I get is:
bash run.sh, error: run.sh: line 2: starccm+: command not found
The command in 'run.sh' works when I am logged into the machine (it does not require a GUI). This makes me think that there is a problem with the SSH session and it is not the same as the one that Apache Airflow logs into, but I am not sure how to solve this problem.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
There is no issue with SSH connection (at least from the error message). However, the issue is with starccm+ installation path.
Please check the installation path of starccm+ .
Check if the installation path is part of $PATH env variable
$ echo $PATH
If not, then install it in the standard locations like /bin or /usr/bin etc (provided they are included in $PATH variable), or export the installed director into PATH variable like this,
$ export PATH=$PATH:/<absolute_path>
It is not ideal but if you struggle with setting the path variable you can run starccm stating the full path like:
/directory/where/star/is/installed/starccm+ -batch run_export.java Rans_Model.sim
With a default installation of RVM and from a non-login shell, executing rvm use produces:
RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with 'rvm use ...' will not work.
You need to change your terminal emulator preferences to allow login shell.
Sometimes it is required to use `/bin/bash --login` as the command.
Please visit https://rvm.io/integration/gnome-terminal/ for an example.
Where the reason for this warning is that the following sourcing line is added only in files like ~/.bash_profile during installation:
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
And the previous can even be confirmed as expected behavior from https://rvm.io/support/faq#shell_login:
RVM by default adds itself currently to ~/.bash_profile file, and the
recommended way is to enable login shell in gnome-terminal (and
screen).
But, why isn't the RVM installer simply adding the previous line in files like ~/.bashrc so commands like rvm use work both for login and non-login shells?.
Similar questions without a proper/official answer:
Why rvm needs login shell?
https://askubuntu.com/questions/444880/why-do-i-need-to-run-bin-bash-login
The main reason here is that rvm must be defined as a function of your shell and not as a rvm-use script.
If defined as a script, rvm-use would operate in a separate subprocess and only had an access to a copy of your shell environment, not to the original env. Because rvm use needs to actually modify your local PATH environment (to prepend rvm ruby shims for correct version) it needs full access to your shell environment - hence use of function is required.
This means, you need to load this function somewhere - it is (most likely, didn't fully check it) done via /etc/profile, which loads /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh file. This file needs to be either manually sourced or is loaded automatically when terminal opens as a login shell.
Now, why does rvm needs to modify local terminal environment instead of using single global state? It is to allow us to have few terminals open with different ruby versions active at the same time.
First steps in FreeBSD: trying to run my installation script. Fast help needed:
# ls
configure
# file configure
configure: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
# ./configure
./configure: Command not found
# configure
configure: Command not found
What is wrong, how can I execute this script?
Do you have bash installed? If not use FreeBSD Ports to install it. Use where bash to find out.
Use the force Luke :)
# pkg_add -r bash
May it be, that your's configure script doesn't have appropriate executions rights. Try to cast:
chmod 777 configure
If it works, fix it to
chmod 764 configure
configure scripts are ultra portable shell scripts. There is no need for bash here. The problem is somewhere else.
What's the first line in the configure script? Maybe a CR/LF snuck in, which is a common cause for a totally misleading error message saying that the script was not found, when it was the interpreter that was not found.
Please try /bin/sh ./configure
Install the bash package using
pkg add bash
or
make -C /usr/ports/shells/bash install clean
By default FreeBSD comes with tcsh and a POSIX compatible FreeBSD sh
On older FreeBSD systems you will need to do
rehash
before you can run it.
First line of this script (#!/usr/bin/bash, i suppose) should be changed to #!/usr/local/bin/bash.
And of course, you should have shells/bash port installed.
I want to run a script remotely. But the system doesn't recognize the path. It complains that "no such file or directory". Am I using it right?
ssh kev#server1 `./test/foo.sh`
You can do:
ssh user#host 'bash -s' < /path/script.sh
Backticks will run the command on the local shell and put the results on the command line. What you're saying is 'execute ./test/foo.sh and then pass the output as if I'd typed it on the commandline here'.
Try the following command, and make sure that thats the path from your home directory on the remote computer to your script.
ssh kev#server1 './test/foo.sh'
Also, the script has to be on the remote computer. What this does is essentially log you into the remote computer with the listed command as your shell. You can't run a local script on a remote computer like this (unless theres some fun trick I don't know).
If you want to execute a local script remotely without saving that script remotely you can do it like this:
cat local_script.sh | ssh user#remotehost 'bash -'
It works like a charm for me.
I do that even from Windows to Linux given that you have MSYS installed on your Windows computer.
I don't know if it's possible to run it just like that.
I usually first copy it with scp and then log in to run it.
scp foo.sh user#host:~
ssh user#host
./foo.sh
I was able to invoke a shell script using this command:
ssh ${serverhost} "./sh/checkScript.ksh"
Of course, checkScript.ksh must exist in the $HOME/sh directory.
Make the script executable by the user "Kev" and then remove the try it running through the command
sh kev#server1 /test/foo.sh
