This question is Lua-specific, but probably not really, since in this case it's just a wrapper for a C command.
In "os.execute", if I'm running several commands in sequence, like "cd foo; ls" for example, then would the return value correspond to the last command executed?
@Kusalananda because it would provide me with a deeper understand of how linux works why is it impossible? surely my computer has a history and nature of the past n processes that occurred, and what global variables were involved in it's execution no?
@Tim you have been told multiple times that this room is not the place for you to vent about whatever perceived injustice you think you are facing. Stop doing it!
yes, my post on meta was created because my posts were attacked on unix.se
if you want to talk about this site
The system is broken and corrupted, and never fully and timely recovered my posts and the attackers do not face any consequence
They have no worry and can keep attacking unhinged
I must say this site is far better than SO, but that is not a praise
Why is there no policy educating users that if they don't understand someone else's post, do not harass and attack, and be civil?
Why most if not all moderators don't do this job to educate the users especially some high profiled users not to abuse their power to bully other users?
Many bullies are veiled and spread across many posts
@Tim There is. And people follow it. You just consider the normal mechanics of the site like closing and downvoting to be attacks and harassment.
So, once again: if you don't like the way we do things, go somewhere else. If you choose to stay, then you must accept that this is how the site works.
hey bro i don't see any responses from a tim are you ok?
And it depends on the severity of the injustice. If its just SE related sure its probably an over reaction from a hyper emotional asp but if its extortion, or something human rights breachy it should never be censored
Ok, posting this again. It's technically a Lua question, but just calls the corresponding C command, which (I think) is in POSIX.
In "os.execute", if I'm running several commands in sequence, like "cd foo; ls" for example, then would the return value correspond to the last command executed?
I guess I can experimentally try to confirm this, but it would be nice if someone could tell me if it was true or not.
The chances that one of the ~6 people in this room would know the details of how Lua of all things work are pretty slim. And it should take about 5 minutes to test.
In any case, as a general rule, I would expect the output status (not the return value, that's something else) will be that of the last command run, yes. But I don't know this, so just test.
skull patrol y r u here are like the net nanny bot that follows users with anti social flags
how is a singular floating point operation defined? I was reading that they measure a computers performance by so many of them per second and don't understand what they mean,
so I was reading they have a data center that has super computers in my city, how and what do I write or say to people to get an unpaid work experience thing
anyway the links in the EMCAscript pdf linked in this question stackoverflow.com/questions/3173056/… dont work anymore and i want to find the file dtoa.c which is the c code for dragon4 can I import this from what they call the netlib or can someone please show me the up to date link
Consider the following LuaTeX file.
