    Is it safe to assume that rkhunter is a dead project sine it has not been updated sine 2018? If it is dead is it possible to get the source code to update it? Thanks

  • KenUnix KenUnix posted a comment on ticket #8

    I've dug around in the guts of bwBASIC enough to know stuff about it. The simple answer is that bwBASIC is not a "shell" in the sense that "BASH" or just plain "SH" are. Its a BASIC interpreter. It runs BASIC programs. You can execute shell commands from it with the "SHELL" function. So you would do something like this: bwBASIC: shell "ls" Or if you want to capture the exit code and do something with it, you use the SHELL() function, like this: x = shell("ls") I've not played with v2 so I can't speak...

    Carl, If running script as the user in his directory mkdir should work fine. It used to work fine in earlier versions of the script. You should only need sudo mkdir for /usr land. I did not modify the latest script. I will try it again fresh. Regarding set_env0.sh you could add bash -l at the end to invoke the shell allowing users with a GUI to then set the variables then launch shell so they can do work in the shell. Then when finished type exit or close the window. Oh, buy the way placing set_env0.sh...

    Carl, You are correct in /usr land you need to use sudo mkdir however in the users home folder you don't want to use it. Creates a folder that the user can not control. The if statement is wrong if [ -f "$testfile" ]; then continue The continue puts the script back to the loop. Constantly re-cycling. if [ ! -f "$testfile" ]; then continue Now if the file does not exist it goes back to the loop. I can tell you it does this because I tried entering a valid name and it kept looping... So, I investigated....

    Carl, At the end of the script I had to change one thing to execute cobol source if [ "$testfile" ]; then echo " " if [ ! -f "$testfile" ]; then echo "File $testfile does not exist" continue I had to add a ball bat ! before the -f test. Also added echo to let user know it could not find the testfile. Also the set_env0.sh script has to be lauched by launcher if running under a GUI (xfce, gnome, etc) I can make you a compatible one. Also this script only effects variables for the current invocation...

    Carl, Sorry for the delay I have been under the weather today. Biu MPIR creates 'different' files in /usr/local/lib as GMP does? Can't gnucobol see there are two sets of files?

    Carl, Where did you get it? What OS? Available in the states? BTW, you didn't need to label your changes. I have a really useful program (beyond compare) >that compares (two or three) folders and files side by side, makes it real easy to see the >differences, and allows for selective synchronizing. Best $30 I've spent.
