Tmux pane reminder
Goal: move a window into a new pane which is automatically split out horizontally beneath a working window. This way two related commands which were in separate windows can be viewed conveniently within the same window. http://man.openbsd.org/tmux.1 * List the windows with ctrl-b w * In this simple case all the windows have a single pane. Let us assume that the info we want is in 3 * In the window to which we want to move the pane ctrl-b :command-prompt join-pane -s 3

Terminal only shows $?
I recently set up a new user using “adduser username” on my server and noticed that when I login I get:
$
Also, with my new user there is no folder highlighting, or tab completion.
However when I login as root I get a full terminal prompt plus highlighting, completion etc.
root@lin01:~#
Anyone have any idea what I did wrong?
Edit: Solution was to type
chsh -s /bin/bash

Weird symbols always appearing in command line (putty / zsh)
I’ve had this problem for a while and I hope it’s a pretty easy fix:

Environment Variables in PATH Not Expanded for non-Admin Command Prompt?
I have a Windows 7 machine which, when Command Prompt is run by a normal user, fails to expand environment variables in the %PATH%. If command prompt is instead run as administrator (right click, Run as administrator) then %PATH% is appropriately expanded.
Specifically, %PATH% for cmd.exe run as the user (displayed via set…

How can I tell if Windows is running in Safe Mode?
I have a Windows server that will sometimes reboot into safe mode after updates. I’m working on that issue but what I’d really like to know is how can I check to see if Windows is running in safe mode or not.
Ideally I would like to incorporate it into a script that would send a passive check to our Nagios box with the status.
Is there some…

How to display the first N lines of a command output in Windows? (the equivalent of Unix command "head")
I need to display the first N lines of the output of a command (any command). In other words, I esentially want an equivalent of the Unix “head” command. After discovering a few tricks from some other user (sorry don’t remember who it was), I came up with this:
tasklist | find /N " " |…
