I need wget to be always used with --no-check-certificate option. This can be accomplished by typing the following line in a Unix terminal: alias wget='wget --no-check-certificate' However, when I execute shell scripts .sh that include wget command, the original wget is used not the aliased one. How can I resolve this issue? Solved You have to ensure your alias is defined, where the Shell-script is also sourcing it. If you are using Bash and the Shell-script is using /bin/bash as interpreator, putting into file .bashrc might bei a good idea. However, --no-check-certificate is in about 99.9% of all cases a very bad idea as SSL is there for a reason. Also I recommend not to overwrite common commands with custom aliases as this might change behavior of tools a script is relying on in unexpected way. I really recommend to fix up the environment so you don't need this dirty hack.

I am writing a console application which makes use of the F1 key (for help). Unfortunately, while Konsole (of KDE) doesn't use this key, Gnome Terminal does, so the F1 key becomes inaccessible to my application. I don't think there's a way to detect whether the F1 key is already mapped in the GUI side of things (Gnome Terminal), but if there is, the answer to that will obviate this question. :) Ergo, my next best bet is to try to detect whether I am running inside Gnome Terminal. Is there some way to do that? I'm primarily interested in gleaning this from within Ruby, but if it can be done via shell or environment variables, or virtual filesystem (/proc, /dev, etc.) then that will suffice. I'm hoping for a reliable way to do this, but I can settle for "best guess" approaches like grepping the environment variables for clues that can let me reasonably assume that Gnome Terminal is the wrapping terminal. Extra info: other keys are also "sto...

Is there a tool the generate php interface from existing classes? It would be nice to have a tool like Netbeans automatic getter/setter creation but for interfaces. Solved For programmatic usage there is InterfaceDistiller that allows you to derive interfaces from existing classes like this: $distiller = new InterfaceDistiller; $distiller ->methodsWithModifiers(\ReflectionMethod::IS_PUBLIC) ->extendInterfaceFrom('Iterator, SeekableIterator') ->excludeImplementedMethods() ->excludeInheritedMethods() ->excludeMagicMethods() ->excludeOldStyleConstructors() ->filterMethodsByPattern('(^get)') ->saveAs(new SplFileObject('MyInterface.php')) ->distill('SomeFoo', 'MyInterface'); It also has a CLI interface: Usage: phpdistill [options] --bootstrap Path to File containing your bootstrap and autoloader --methodsWithModifiers A ReflectionMe...

I want to add an item to the start menu to display a list of applications that the user can launch. Kind of like a custom menu. I got the WIN API code pack and understand that I can use a jump list for the popup menu part. Not sure how I can pin something to the start menu though. I'm looking for something along the lines of what IE displays. Solved Was able to accomplish this using Shell32 library. public static class VerbNames{ public static string PinToStartMenu = "Pin to Start Men&u"; public static string UnpinFromStartMenu = "Unpin from Start Men&u"; public static string PinToTaskbar = "Pin to Tas&kbar"; public static string UnpinFromTaskbar = "Unpin from Tas&kbar"; } public static class DesktopUtil { public static void PinItemToStartMenu(string itemPath, string itemName) { DoItemVerb(itemPath, itemName, VerbNames.PinToStartMenu); } public static void UnpinItemFromStartMen...
