Run a Script Each Time Terminal Window Opened












0















So I have written a simple bash script to run a program called "cmatrix" everytime a new terminal window is opened.



I have changed the permissions on the file so it is r-x for everyone, and verified that it will run exactly how I want it to when called, but now I don't know where to put the script so that it runs on each new bash terminal launch. I know that if I want it to run on startup I would place it in usr/local/bin, but I only want it to run when I open a new terminal window.



Very very simple:



cmatrix -bs -C cyan


Any and all help is appreciated!



Thanks

  • What do you mean by "terminal window"? A window from a (specific?) terminal emulator? Any tty? Any interactive Bash session? Please edit the question and clarify. (Side note: I think /usr/local/bin has nothing to do with running anything on startup. Not really relevant to your question though, even if I'm right).

Assuming bash is your default shell, any bash command you put into your ~/.bashrc file will be executed when opening a new terminal window (interactive shell). For example, putting echo "Hello" at the end of your ~/.bashrc file will popup this message)



For your script to be executed on opening a new bash window, you can just:




  1. Move your script to /usr/local/bin/

  2. Call your script from your ~/.bashrc file


Notice:




  1. You don't absolutely need to move your script to /usr/local/bin/, but it's convenient as it doesn't require the extra step to modify your path, or to call your script with its absolute path.



  2. To actually call your script from your ~/.bashrc, just add your script name at the end of the file:



    my_cool_script.sh




  3. If your script is a single line long, you can actually put that line in your ~/.bashrc instead of your script name, in your case:



    cmatrix -bs -C cyan

Probability when a professor distributes a quiz and homework assignment to a class of n students.

Image
0 0 $begingroup$ Need help with this problem. Suppose our lazy professor collects a quiz and a homework assignment from a class of n students one day, then distributes both the quizzes and the homework assignments back to the class in a random fashion for grading. Each student receives one quiz and one homework assignment to grade. (a) What is the probability that every student receives someone else's quiz to grade, and someone else's homework to grade? (b) What is the probability that no student receives both their own quiz and their own homework assignment to grade? In this case, some students may receive their own quiz, and others may receive their own homework assignment. (c) Compute the limiting probability as n approaches infinity in each case. ...
