Hide output of pushd or popd bash shell command Simple as it is a couple of weeks ago when writing a shell script I wanted to hide the out put of shell commands. Specifically pushd and popd, I completely forgot this could easily be solved by redirecting stdout to device /dev/null (aka 'the void') pushd /var/storage > /dev/null You can use this for any shell command you want to hide output for.

Robert J. Berger writes "The Ruby on Rails team announced that "After the longest gap between releases since Rails was made public and after more than 225 fixes and new features, the final major release before the 1.0 milestone has arrived." This is a major update to what is to many developers consider the new tool for developing sophisticated interactive database driven web applications. It integrates backend Model/View/Controller object-oriented model with AJAX based clients so that the developer can focus on the app and not on the details of basic mechanisms. You really can do much more with much less coding. The new release adds a completely rewritten visual effects engine, drag-and-drop capability including sortable lists, and autocompleting text fields to Rails. All building on top of an upgraded version of Prototype , the javascript foundation for Ajax in Rails ... Check out the very cool demos at script.aculo.us ."

I have been getting into lisp for a while now and wanted to learn it for years. Because of lack of open source libraries for things like soap and xml-rpc, so have been moving over to python, reduce, map, filter and lambda as some of my favorite methods of python. Now these lispish builtin methods will be removed sad to say by Guido van Rossum him self. I sent him an email and hinted that he may leave in lambda or rename it.

This new value of "keywords" will persist until the end of the CLISP session. To save your session into a file: [13]> (saveinitmem "test.mem") Under Solaris, when CLISP is started, the option -M is used to load this file: maroon 45: clisp -M "test.mem" http://www.cs.queensu.ca/home/cisc352/elizaCodeDiscussion.html http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html Got it to work with (dribble "file.out") found it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/commonlisp/message/220?viscount=100 If you can run Emacs, then you can type escape x shell turn on clisp in the shell then save the whole session at the save with ctrl-x ctrl-w file.out

Okay here is the deal, can't remember how to surpress output from bash commands that are run, if anyone remembers please let me know. Example: #!/bin/sh pushd ../ Output: ~ ~/user ~/user/scripts not the biggest worry in the world but if you know the answer I would be much obliged.

Took 3 months and $150 dollars but I now own the seminal book on advanced lisp, can't wait to read it.

Does any one in the world have this book? I am willing to buy it for as much as $150 Title:On LISP: Advanced Techniques for Common LISP Author:Paul Graham ISBN:0130305529 PS it's availiable for free at http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html
