stdin: is not a tty January 14, 2007

Do you do scp in a shell script and get the annoying “stdin: is not a tty” message? It’s particularly annoying if you want the scp to run in the background and you get your command prompt back and then a few seconds later see the stdin: is not a tty message on your terminal!
The quick solution is to go into the .bashrc on the shell where you’re secure copy (ing) to, and add this at the top:
if [ $(expr index "$-" i) -eq 0 ]; then
return
fi
BTW, here is the script I use to easily resize and transfer images to a remote server:
ACCOUNT=accountnamehere
NEWSIZE=$1
FILENAME=$2
RESIZEDFILENAME=resized.$FILENAME
`convert -resize ${NEWSIZE}x${NEWSIZE} $FILENAME /tmp/$RESIZEDFILENAME;scp /tmp/$RESIZEDFILENAME $ACCOUNT@yourhostname.com:~/imageuploaddir/$FILENAME;rm /tmp/$RESIZEDFILENAME` &
Note how the resize and scp commands are treated as a single unit that is put in the background so we can have our command prompt back immediately.

This wordpress help article contains many color tools for design…
To sample colors from existing websites, I use colorzilla
To sample colors from other media on the screen, like an image in a word processor, Windows users can use the AIColorPicker
To create pleasing color palettes, try the Color Scheme Generator 2
