Apr 29	comment	How to remove the (1) from filenames using the find command @hobbes That's odd. As another test to make sure `sh` isn't doing anything funny, try replacing the entire `sh -c '...'` part with `pwd` and see if you get the same thing as your previous run with `pwd` inside the `'...'`.
Apr 26	comment	How to remove the (1) from filenames using the find command @hobbes3 I'm wondering if `-execdir` is working as it should. Try inserting a `pwd;` right before the `for arg` to see what directory the `mv` is being run in.
Apr 22	comment	How to remove the (1) from filenames using the find command Hmm, that's odd. Do you have the exact command and error message? Try using `sh -xc` instead of `sh -c` for extra information.
Apr 22	comment	How to remove the (1) from filenames using the find command @hobbes3 Are you sure? There shouldn't be any folder paths in the `mv` command since `-execdir` is used. Compare the output of `find -exec pwd \;` and `find -execdir pwd \;`. How are you running it?
Apr 16	revised	Reference prior command output / terminal screen contents in current command line made question title clearer, hopefully
Apr 5	comment	Can I make `rm` interactive only when using globbing? (in either bash or zsh or both) @Pureferret no, don't use this answer.

Mar 25	comment	What does a “[1]+ Exit 1” response mean? What `nohup` do you have? My coreutils one does not mention `&` at all in the man page. I don't think there are any "normal" shells nowadays that lack the `&` operator.

Mar 20	comment	Show jobs count only if it is more than 0 Is the `tr -d ' '` necessary?
Mar 20	comment	Show jobs count only if it is more than 0 Related question.
Mar 20	comment	store command before pressing ctrl+c, revive afterwards It's not in POSIX, but works with `bash` and anything that aims for `bash` compatibility.
Mar 20	comment	store command before pressing ctrl+c, revive afterwards I think `#` is a comment character in every shell that I have seen, even weird ones like `csh`. It's even in the POSIX spec (see item 10.). I'd love to know if you've seen shells where `#` is not a comment.
Mar 20	comment	store command before pressing ctrl+c, revive afterwards Instead of a command I just use a `#`, which works as long as you have not told your shell to ignore comment lines.
Mar 18	comment	Is it possible to use indirection for setting variables? In `bash`, `typeset` is obsolete and its replacement is `declare`. They are more or less identical.

Mar 1	comment	Tmux not sourcing my .tmux.conf `tmux` is not `ssh`. You need to restart `tmux`, or manually source the conf file yourself. Restarting an `ssh` session won't do anything.
