How to run the files ==================== The only files the user must run are located in the main branch of the source code tree: .shellnotes/ The tree looks like this: |-- bash_update.sh |-- def | `-- defaults.sh |-- docs | |-- auths | | |-- author.txt | | `-- contributors.txt | |-- auto-update.txt | |-- commands.txt | |-- disabling.txt | |-- github | | |-- README.md | | |-- RIGHTS.txt | | `-- SECURITY.md | |-- help | |-- installing.txt | |-- listnotes.txt | |-- manpages | | |-- delnote.1 | | |-- findmisplacednote.1 | | |-- findnote.1 | | |-- listnotes.1 | | |-- newnote.1 | | |-- noteinfo.1 | | |-- quicknote.1 | | |-- quickread.1 | | |-- readnote.1 | | |-- renamenote.1 | | `-- shellnotes.1 | |-- run.txt | |-- setdefaults.txt | |-- system | | |-- errors.txt | | |-- fileorganization.txt | | |-- hidden.txt | | |-- imports.txt | | |-- loggingsystem.txt | | |-- manpages.txt | | |-- requirements.txt | | |-- reset.txt | | `-- syntax.txt | |-- uninstalling.txt | |-- updating.txt | |-- versions.txt | `-- warnings.txt |-- image | `-- shellnotes.jpg |-- install.sh |-- logs | |-- disfailed.txt | |-- enfailed.txt | |-- ifailed.txt | |-- sdfailed.txt | |-- ufailed.txt | `-- uninfailed.txt |-- set_defaults.sh |-- uninstall.sh |-- update.sh |-- util | |-- ChMkDir.sh | |-- ChUpd.sh | |-- au | | `-- au.sh | |-- delnote.sh | |-- exec | | |-- clearlogs | | |-- disfailed | | |-- enfailed | | |-- ifailed | | |-- sdfailed | | |-- ufailed | | |-- uninfailed | |-- logfiles | | |-- disfailed.cpp | | |-- enfailed.cpp | | |-- ifailed.cpp | | |-- sdfailed.cpp | | |-- ufailed.cpp | | `-- uninfailed.cpp | |-- findmisplacednote.sh | |-- findnote.sh | |-- getv.sh | |-- h | | `-- h.sh | |-- l | | `-- l.sh | |-- listnotes | | |-- d | | | |-- d.py | | | |-- d.sh | | | |-- display.py | | | `-- dmain.py | | |-- f | | | `-- f.sh | | |-- n | | | `-- n.sh | | `-- output | | |-- dir.txt | | |-- direrr.txt | | |-- files.txt | | |-- fileserr.txt | | `-- listnotes.txt | |-- listnotes.sh | |-- newnote.sh | |-- noteinfo.sh | |-- quicknote.sh | |-- quickread.sh | |-- r | | `-- r.sh | |-- readnote.sh | |-- renamenote.sh | |-- sd | | |-- sd-input1.txt | | |-- sd-input2.txt | | |-- sd-input3.txt | | `-- sd.sh | |-- shellnotes.sh | |-- syntax | |-- u | | `-- u.sh | `-- v | `-- v.sh `-- ver Or, in a ls -al representation: drwxrwxr-x 8 dimitris dimitris 4096 Apr 18 13:00 . drwxr-xr-x 42 dimitris dimitris 4096 Apr 18 21:51 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 dimitris dimitris 1056 Apr 10 12:10 .shellnotes.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 dimitris dimitris 4580 Apr 18 12:45 bash_update.sh drwxr-xr-x 2 dimitris dimitris 4096 Apr 3 11:55 def drwxr-xr-x 6 dimitris dimitris 4096 Apr 3 11:55 docs drwxr-xr-x 2 dimitris dimitris 4096 Apr 3 11:55 image -rw-r--r-- 1 dimitris dimitris 3682 Apr 18 13:11 install.sh drwxr-xr-x 2 dimitris dimitris 4096 Apr 18 13:01 logs -rw-r--r-- 1 dimitris dimitris 2499 Apr 18 12:47 set_defaults.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 dimitris dimitris 3563 Apr 18 12:46 uninstall.sh -rw-r--r-- 1 dimitris dimitris 1646 Apr 18 12:45 update.sh drwxr-xr-x 14 dimitris dimitris 4096 Apr 18 12:06 util drwxr-xr-x 2 dimitris dimitris 4096 Apr 3 11:56 ver And in a dir style: bash_update.sh docs install.sh set_defaults.sh update.sh ver def image logs uninstall.sh util Files inside .shellnotes/ are the ones you can run. The files inside the subfolders (util, def, logs, ver) must not be run. After the installation, the folder .shellnotes is created in the home (~) folder. The .shellnotes folder contains all the source code needed for the program to work properly. So, the files to run are: -bash_update.sh -update.sh -install.sh -uninstall.sh -set_defaults.sh -.shellnotes.sh And can be run by: -bash ~/.shellnotes/bash_update.sh -sh ~/.shellnotes/update.sh -sh ~/.shellnotes/install.sh -sh ~/.shellnotes/uninstall.sh -sh ~/.shellnotes/set_defaults.sh -sh ~/.shellnotes/.shellnotes.sh Should be run when: -Updating shellnotes from bash shell -Updating shellnotes from other shells -(re)Installing shellnotes -Uninstalling, disabling or enabling shellnotes -Setting default note editors and folder for writing and storing notes -Running the main script, which is always run after the installation A better way of running the above files is by running the commands from the main script (.shellnotes.sh): -$ shellnotes -u (and the default shell is bash) -$ shellnotes -u -no command line argument for install.sh- -no command line argument for uninstall.sh- -$ shellnotes -sd -.shellnotes.sh is already running in the background-
