Questions[wildcards](ubuntu)

I'd like to be able to write * to my script, and to get * as-is (i.e., without expansion).

Bash will try to replace it with local files matching this pattern, and if this pattern doesn't exist, bash will pass the asterisk without modifications.

I don't want to escape. I know it's possible ( *, '*' ).

e.g.

myscript --arg *   --- will pass local files to the script
myscript --arg=*   --- will pass "--arg=*", since there are no filenames starting with "--arg=<...>"

Can I tell bash to skip wildcard interpretation on certain occasions? e.g. with commands starting with myscript?

Hi I am new to all of this so any help is appreciated!! I have a list of files that I want my bash script to work on such as

BG2_45TS02.assembled.fast

BG2_45TS02.riboassembled.fastq

BG3_45TS02.assembled.fastq

BG3_45TS02.riboassembled.fastq

BG4_45TS02.assembled.fastq

BG4_45TS02.riboassembled.fastq

If I only want to pick out those starting with BG2 and those ending with .riboassembled.fastq

does this work BG2*.riboassembledfastq so for example my script would be

for file in $STEP_2/BG2*.riboassembled.fastq

I need to find files that match this pattern:

find root_folder/*/match_string/*.ext

"*" means any levels of folders or files. So it means any file with an extention "ext" under root_folder or its sub folder and whose full path contains a folder called "match_string", for example:

root_folder/f1/f2/match_string/f3/f4/1.ext
root_folder/f1/f2/match_string/2.ext

But the above command doesn't work. find -name also doesn't work.

And I need to output the result list of matched files to a file for later import into zip command. It seems not to be straightforward to use ">" if cascaded commands are used.

I have a systemd file to start a jar file. But I want to execute jar file as *.jar. Is there a way to do this?

[Unit]
Description=Test Background

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -jar /var/www/test.com/*.jar
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/test.com

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I tried this but not working.

I am trying to get Citrix receiver to work on my Ubuntu laptop. I've installed the Citrix receiver, however when I try to open the .ica file that my company provides when I login to my organisation's Citrix StoreFront site by Chrome, it exits out with an error that states "Cannot connect to 0.0.02 - Windows 2016 Desktop. No such file or directory. Verify your connection settings and try again". After this, the .ica file gets deleted automatically.

In addition, if I try to enter the address of my organisation's Citrix StoreFront site directly in the installed app, it gives me this error; "Your account cannot be added using this server address. Make sure you entered it correctly. An SSL connection to the server couldn't be established because the server's certificate was not trusted."

I always have to switch to Windows to work remotely. I tried every available solution existed on the internet including First Link, Second Link. I guess my problem is somehow related to wildcard character in my company's certificate. It is issued to * .myCompanyName however the site address is door.myCompanyName

I tried everything. I don't want to switch to Windows just because of this. Please help me.
