Shell

The linux shell/bash terminal default behaviour is print output to the terminal (StdOut : Standard output). But sometimes we need to change this behaviour like save toi a file, display noting ... Here some exaple of user case.

Prompt for Yes/No/Cancel input in a Linux shell / bash script

Example:

#!/bin/bash

echo "This script will ask a question.";

For that, regenerate locals and setup locale settings.

Generate locals

Ex:# locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
Or :# locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8

An also you can use # localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

Syntax: SHOW COLUMNS FROM the_table_name;
Example: Show all columns of the mysql user table.
mysql> SHOW COLUMNS FROM mysql.user;
