Re: Question: how to run Reconfigure without GUI
I futureproofed it a little :-)-O
#!/bin/bash
function lyxconfigure
{
if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]
then
BASEDIR="/Users/$(whoami)/Library/Application Support/LyX"
LYXVER=$(lyx --version 2>&1 \
| perl -ne 'if (/^LyX/) {
@v = split(/\s+/);
($j,$i) = split(/\./,$v[1],3);
print "$j.$i"
}'
)
pushd "$BASEDIR-$LYXVER"
python -tt
"/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py"
popd
else
echo "This only works on a Mac"
fi
}
If someone can come up with a clever way of finding the maJor and miNor
versions of LyX, please let me know.
Heartbleed was an OpenSSL vulnerability by the way, and, though Bashdoor
was an issue in 2014, I use bash as my login shell so I don't really
think it matters much. But as Steve wrote it's trivial to change.

That was a first stab at it :-)-O
When I have a moment I'll do it right :-)-O

Beware that pushd and popd are bash-only, and do not appear in dash or
any /bin/sh one should be using for shellscripts. I'm of the opinion,
especially after the Heartbleed fiasco, that bash is just too big an
attack surface to use for shellscripts.
In more lightweight shells, it's done more like this:
#!/bin/sh
orgdir=`pwd`
cd /home/you/application/directory
./my_special_application arg1 arg2 arg3
cd $orgdir

Nice. Thanks for sharing I actually never saw that trick for saving the
directory in a bash function (I've only used pushd and popd
interactively). I am used to saving "$(pwd)" to a variable and then "cd"
back to it. I like your trick instead.
One can also do
( cd dir ; ./command )
But concerning the alias, I am a bit surprised because it seems to
create files at the root of the home directory.

Scott,
this is very helpful for my alias file on the Mac.
function lyxconfigure
{
pushd ~/
python -tt "/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/configure.py"
popd
}

You can call the configure script directly. For example, python -tt "/usr/local/share/lyx/configure.py" Be sure to run it inside your home directory. On Linux, this is ~/.lyx.

Already tried "lyx -batch -x reconfigure" but lyx ask for an input file, which I consider should not happen; I’m considering a bug report. I tried the same thing, with the same result (even if I surround "reconfigure" with quotes), so I agree that it's probably a bug.

Question: how to run Reconfigure without GUI
Hello everyone, I was wondering if there's a way to execute Tools>Reconfigure without GUI (i.e. from the terminal) in Linux. Thanks in advance, *Daniel Gómez Martínez* * <3044313476>*
