due to limited ram i am using rocky Linux minimal VM on virtual-box. i was unsuccessful in various ways to install guest addition. so normal copy paste via keyboard or mouse is not working in terminal, every time i need something i must type, i am using 2 minimal rocky VMs for my practice. my base metal OS is Ubuntu so used scp from Ubuntu and sent a long link to Rocky minimal VM at /tmp and now i want run this link at bash command prompt, when i run cat i can see the link stored at /tmp/link.txt , how do bring it to terminal bash prompt and press enter? please help
I have a text file with text in it:
$ cat example.txt
echo Hello World!
I can tell shell (bash) to execute each line in that file:
$ bash example.txt
Hello World!
There is also package/service gpm. One would install and start it with:
dnf install gpm
systemctl start gpm
Its description claims:
Gpm provides mouse support to text-based Linux applications like the Emacs editor and the Midnight Commander file management system. Gpm also provides console cut-and-paste operations using the mouse and includes a program to allow pop-up menus to appear at the click of a mouse button.
