Hi

I would like to put a function into .bashrc file that would
open a new Konsole and cd into the result of the pwd command. Something like:

pwdinnk() {
p=`echo pwd`
echo $p
`dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession`
`cd $p`
}

This does not work. In details:

1. The echo $p part does not give me back the current path. What is wrong here?

2. this part `dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession` works OK. It opens a new Konsole just as I want

3. The `cd $p` I wrote ad hoc just to present the idea. What would be the proper syntax here?

Could somebody help me on this?

thanks

means p="pwd". Try this:

thanks reverse


I tried this two options and the $p is properly initialised, the newKonsole is opened BUT changing directory part does not work in nither of them

pwdinnk() {
p=`pwd`
echo $p
`dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession`
cd $p
}

pwdinnk() {
p=`pwd`
echo $p
`dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession`
`cd $p`
}

o.

1. $PWD or pwd
2. okay. Don't know why you want it in backticks, though.
3. Again, why backticks? Moreover, though, the shell running in your Konsole session will not execute this command.

It will, if it is bash, try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash, which will try to execute .bashrc, which will invoke 'dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession' which will spawn a new Konsole session running bash....
