[SOLVED] Hi. Execute .bashrc line in tty but not in Konsole or DE

jamison20000e · 06-19-2014, 08:40 PM

I've set info and a Fortune to run on login. To give myself a few seconds for looking it over and fun I've set a script to run that plays with my LEDs (here's a .bashrc snipit:)

Code:

...
date
./screenfetch-dev
fortune
printf '%*s\n' "${COLUMNS:-$(tput cols)}" '' | tr ' ' _
sh ./ledFUN
echo
...

(to simplify I took out the Ruby script e.g;)

Quote:

...
ruby sysInfoFortune_ETC.rb
...

(that runs up until the sh... and a ledFUN snip

Code:

#!/bin/sh -e
setleds +scroll
sleep .1
setleds +caps
sleep .1
setleds +num
sleep .1
setleds -num
sleep .3
...

after that my prompt pops up... but more than halve the time I startx, then when I need the prompt (each time any terminal in KDE\Xfce\so-on) I see this:

Code:

...
KDGKBLED: Invalid argument
Error reading current flags setting. Maybe you are not on the console?

I only want the LED display\wait after logging in and the info and Fortune every time.

Any ideas or questions would be greatly appreciated?

You can use tty to get the console name, this should work:

Code:

#!/bin/sh -e
tty | grep "/dev/tty[0-9]" > /dev/null

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        setleds +scroll
        sleep .1
        setleds +caps
        sleep .1
        setleds +num
        sleep .1
        setleds -num
        sleep .3
fi
