Backup files with tar command and progress bar? Can I see a progress bar or something not only ust the terminal screen output while backing up?   Here is my shell script that I used backup with tar command:  # !/bin/bash   DATEJOUR=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S")  REPABACKUPER="--exclude=/home/(username)/myfolders \  --exclude=/home/(username)/backup                  \  --exclude=/proc                                    \  --exclude=/lost+found                              \  --exclude=/mnt                                     \  --exclude=/media                                   \  --exclude=/sys /"  REPBACKUP="/home/(username)/backup"  NOMFIC=$REPBACKUP/Pavilion_backup-$DATEJOUR.tar.bz2   sudo tar cvpjf $NOMFIC $REPABACKUPER    exit $?
How can I move files and view the progress (e.g. with a progress bar)? When moving large directories using mv, is there a way to view the progress (%)? The cp command on gentoo had a -g switch that showed the progress.

Books for starting with analysis I am interested in self-studying real analysis, and I was wondering which textbook I should pick up. I know all high school mathematics, I have read  (I did most of the exercises).  I have completed a computational calculus course which covered everything up to and including integration by parts (including the substitution method and Riemann sums) I am currently considering:    From what I have heard this is not very well suited for self-study and that while the exercises are extremely difficult, if you take the time they are worth the effort.    I have heard that while Spivak explains proofs in much more detail than Principles, it doesn't cover all of the material in the latter.    I don't know much about this. I have only seen some comments saying that it is an excellent introduction to analysis.    Extra clarification edit: I would prefer a book not to ''dumb down'' the material, something that would not hold my hand through every step, something that would force me to fill in the gaps myself instead of explaining every single step. That is why I am currently leaning towards Rudin, but before I decide I would still like some information on the book by Apostol. Is there a correct gender-neutral singular pronoun ("his" vs. "her" vs. "their")? Is there a pronoun I can use as a gender-neutral pronoun when referring back to a singular noun phrase?  Each student should save his questions until the end. Each student should save her questions until the end. Weighted choice short and simple In basic chemistry, we are taught that an atom has roughly the same number of neutrons and number of protons, this doesn't seems to hold for larger atoms, but it is always roughly proportional (i.e. you seldom find an atom with 100 protons but 1 neutron, that just does not happen). Why is that? Controlling the direction of curve extrusion Is there an easy way to control how the extruded width of a curve object is oriented, for example like this     or this     The curve in the images above has only two control points, and I got the effect by rotating one of the points. However, for a curve with lots of control points it would be somewhat difficult or at least tedious to achieve this. Is there a simpler way? What is $\int_0^1 \frac{\log \left(1-x^2\right) \sin ^{-1}(x)^2}{x^2} \, dx$?

When compiling with XeLaTeX, about 1/8 of the way through the document, it reports:  ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=3000000]. \@glolist@ ...},{13586},{9406},{4539},{12811},{179                                                   51},{5831},{1047},{14948},    The numbers you see above are ones placed in #1 of \newglossaryentry{#1}{#2}. These unique numbers are assigned to each entry for convenience. I have successfully compiled short tests of the document, which only used 1% of the full content. The resulting .glo file is about 1 MB in size.   Could this be the result of some error on my part or am I giving TeX too much work to do?  Update:  I have followed the instructions below (edited texmf.cnf and running  fmtutil-sys --all. This has allowed me to compile an additional portion of the book, but no matter the settings I add, I can't go beyond 5/8 of the way through.  A compile with extra_mem_top.xelatex = 30000000 and extra_mem_top.xelatex = 50000000 both result in:  TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=3186676].   Update:  I have done the following:  $ kpsewhich texmf.cnf /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf.cnf $ nano /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf.cnf   To the texmf.cnf file, following instructions at , I added:  main_memory = 230000000 extra_mem_top = 10000000 extra_mem_bot = 10000000 save_size = 150000 stack_size = 150000  main_memory.xelatex = 30000000 extra_mem_top.xelatex = 30000000   After this, I tried: - fmtutil-sys --all, then compiling xelatex file.tex. - fmtutil --all, then compiling xelatex file.tex. - fmtutil-sys --byfmt xelatex, then compiling with xelatex file.tex. - texhash, then compiling with xelatex file.tex.  All of these resulted in no changes in results. I still get:  TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [pool size=3186676]. How to render an animation as video in Blender? Yesterday I was working on a simple animation, an animated logo.   Here is an image of the progress:    I already have the animation working and everything is okay with the project, but I can't figure out how I can render the animation and turn it into an AVI format video.  How do I render an animation in Blender? How to add a script to Startup Applications from the command line? I have a shell script. I want to configure my script to run automatically during startup. I know how to do this from GUI. But I wanted to do this from terminal. How can I do this?  On a primary research I found that the file needs to be moved to /etc/int.d/ directory. But this operation needs sudo permission. I wanted to do this without super user permissions.   I also found that there are files under ~/.config/autostart/ which are having some settings regarding the startup applications. But I don't know how to edit them to achieve this.   Can someone tell me the exact procedure to achieve this? What type of lens will auto-focus on Nikon bodies without a focus motor? I know my D40 doesn't have a motor in it to auto-focus lenses.

How to show that $\mathbb{Q}$ is not $G_\delta$ I read a section of a book and it made mention of the set of rationals not being a $G_\delta$. However, it gave no proof. I read on  about using contradiction, but it made use of the Baire category theorem, which is unfamiliar to me. I was wondering if anyone could offer me a different proof; perhaps using the fact that the complement of $G_\delta$ is $F_\sigma$.  Thanks. I have a conjecture that any two positive coprime integers $a$ and $b$ can be added to form any integer greater than or equal to $(a-1)(b-1)$.   This is true for $3$ and $5$, which can form any integer greater than or equal to $8$, where $8=3+5, 9=3+3+3, 10=5+5; k=3n+8$ or $3n+9$ or $3n+10$.  It is true for $4$ and $7$, which can form any integer greater than or equal to $18$, where $18=4+7+7, 19=4+4+4+7, 20=4+4+4+4+4, 21=7+7+7$, etc. How can it be proven that this will work for any two coprime numbers? How do I hide the System Reserved partition from the Windows Explorer?    On the above screenshot, I want to get rid of System Reserved (D:). How do I do that?  I will never need to access it from there, why would I need the entry then?  PS: I want to hide it, not delete it.
