Deleting the file "" from the /username/Library/Preferences/ folder and relaunching the Terminal may help. In the Terminal's case, this could be a fault not allowing it to properly load the login process. As with other applications, corruption in the preference file can result in odd application behavior and not have it access resources properly. Lastly, this can be caused by a problem with the Terminal application's preference file. If there's a problem with access to the directory information when you initially logged in, this could pass to other processes that access this information, and a restart can sometimes clear this. Sometimes a system restart is all that's needed for the login process to access information from your account. So to start test.Choose the option to run the command instead of the login shell To start a job running again (unpausing it) we need to type kill -cont PROCESSID. If we suspend all the running jobs and then type jobs -l it will show all the jobs as suspended. With this knowledge we can then stop (pause/suspend) a job using the command kill -stop PROCESSID. Using the command jobs -l produces a list of running jobs, their job number in and their process ID:įor example, test.py is running as process ID 10262. Jobs has the ability to list running or suspended jobs, to stop a job or to continue a job.įor this example I have copied my Python script four times, modifying the output depending on the script number and then set them all running in the background. However, there is a solution for that and that solution is jobs. With the possibility to start multiple jobs and have them all running in the background it could be very easy to lose track of what is running. To bring the job back to foreground we need to enter fg %JOBNUMBER, so in our case fg %3 In the profiles list, double-click the icon for the profile you want to use. Choose Terminal > Settings, then click Profiles. In the Terminal app on your Mac, do one of the following: Choose Shell > New Window, then choose a profile from the list of profiles at the end of the menu. With our script stopped (paused) we need to note the job number, in this case and then enter bg %JOBNUMBER:Īnd our job then resumes running in the background. Open new Terminal windows with a specific profile. adb is the command line tool to install and run android apps on your p. First we need to start the Python script running:Īnd once the script is running we need to pause it using CTRL Z ctrl z mulitask I spent quite sometime figuring how to set up adb on Mac, so I figure writing how to set it up might be useful to some people. The command-line part means you control it by typing commands one line at a time. The BG % / FG % (Background / Foreground) method is slightly different as it allows us to move a running command to the background after it has started running. Bash is one of the popular command-line shells, programs whose chief job is to start other programs (in addition to some auxiliary functions). The & method continues to output the Python script but allows for new commands to be entered. You can also open Terminal by using spotlight in the right hand top corner. The in the above is the commands job number and the 10088 is the commands process identification, more on this later. Look for Terminal in Applications Utilities Terminal. This command is telling the terminal to open Python3 and run test.py in the backround, which frees the terminal up for other commands, for example pinging. The ampersand (&) method is achieved by placing a & at the end of the command.

Its language is vivid, its music forceful, its metaphor appropriately theatrical, and its sense, ultimately, ironic: In spite of its nihilism, the line’s poetry does have meaning. It’s dark, I know, but it’s very dramatic. But the top prize has to go to Macbeth: “It is a tale / Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing” (5.5.25-26). Prospero in The Tempest: “We are such stuff / As dreams are made on, and our little life / Is rounded with a sleep” (4.1.156-58). Hamlet: “That skull had a tongue in it and could sing once” (5.1.70). Edmund in King Lear: “The wheel is come full circle! I am here” (5.3.173). Lord Hastings in 2 Henry IV: “We are time’s subjects” (1.3.110). I certainly linger longest on Shakespeare’s expressions of the fleeting nature of our lives. I know The Tempest is the more canonical choice, but Cymbeline, in all of its odd plots twists, I found more transportive.įavorite line/passage: An impossible question, but here goes. It’s a time machine back to Merrie England and Shakespeare at his bawdy best, but not without darker undertones.īest romance: Another underdog, Cymbeline. Once I found my personal connection to the play, I’ve been haunted by the idea of Lear witnessing himself lose his own mind ever since.īest history: Henry IV Part I. The twins/mistaken identity plot is at once hilarious and disturbing.īest tragedy: King Lear. That I’m still shaken by the passage over 400 years after Shakespeare wrote it – that’s powerful.īest comedy: This goes to an underdog, The Comedy of Errors. He’s a remarkable literary creation, for one, and his lines always yield, no matter how many times I revisit them, profound and difficult Truths About The Human Condition. Not that I want to be friends with them, but there’s so much to Iago, Macbeth, and Lear’s tortured and torturing psyches. I feel some sort of spiritual affinity with melancholy Jaques in As You Like It and would love to drink some sack with Falstaff. Portia’s intelligence and selflessness amaze me in The Merchant of Venice, as does Helena’s in All’s Well That Ends Well. Boy, girl, parents, hormones, yadda yadda yadda, double suicide.įavorite character: This is a tough one. Most overrated play: It’s still a masterpiece, but Romeo and Juliet. Plus intrigue, given new evidence that Christopher Marlowe helped write the plays. Most underrated play: The three parts of Henry VI. One’s likes and dislikes shift with time and experience, of course, so I’m basing these winners and losers specifically on how I feel at the other end of reading the complete works. I think I’m qualified to pass a little judgment at this point. So? What did I learn? How am I different now? How has the experience changed me?īefore I tackle the big to be or not to be’s, though, some Shakespeare superlatives are in order. (But would I turn it down?) I mean: Why not read all of Shakespeare’s works in one year and see what I can learn from it? That’s what I wrote when I started out on Shakespeare Confidential. No, no, I know my writing will never inspire my own section in bookstores and change Western literature as we know it. What did I learn? How am I different now? How has the experience changed me? I even read you, singling out a copy of Cymbeline I was surprised, and impressed, to see stocked. Top to bottom, shelf by shelf, I eyed all the Macbeth’s and Much Ado About Nothing’s, all the Romeo and Juliet’s and Richard III’s. Not long after I finished the complete works, I popped into a bookstore. |
