env is a shell command for Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It is used to either print a list of environment variables or run another utility in an altered environment without having to modify the currently existing environment. Using env, variables may be added or removed, and the values of existing variables may be changed.[why?]
In practice, env has another common use. It is often used by shell scripts to launch the correct interpreter. In this usage, the environment is typically not changed.
To clear the environment for a new shell:
<source lang="bash"> env -i /bin/sh </source>
To launch the X Window application xcalc and have it appear on a different display:
<source lang="bash"> env DISPLAY=foo.bar:1.0 xcalc </source>
Here is the code of a very simple Python script:
<source lang="bash">
print "Hello World." </source>
In this example, /usr/bin/env is the full path of the env command. The environment is not altered.
Note that it is possible to specify the interpreter without using env, by giving the full path of the python interpreter. A problem with that approach is that on different computer systems, the exact path may be different. By instead using env as in the example, the interpreter is searched for and located at the time the script is run. This makes the script more portable, but also increases the risk that the wrong interpreter is selected because it searches for a match in every directory on the executable search path. It also suffers from the same problem in that the path to the env binary may also be different on a per-machine basis.
James Daniel May (born 16 January 1963) is an English television presenter, journalist and writer. He is best known for his role as co-presenter of the award-winning motoring program Top Gear alongside Jeremy Clarkson , and Richard Hammond.
On Top Gear, May has the nickname "Captain Slow" for his careful driving style, a love of small underpowered cars and habit of getting lost and distracted while driving. However, in a July 2010 episode of Top Gear he drove a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, reaching a speed of 417.6 kilometres per hour (259.5 mph). After his attempt the Bugatti test driver Pierre-Henri Raphanel took the car to 430 kilometers per hour (267.5 mph).
May has presented a variety of other programs on themes including science and technology, toys, cars, wine culture, and the plight of manliness in modern times. In addition he has released a variety of DVDs and books with similar themes, and wrote a weekly column for The Daily Telegraph's motoring section.
James May was born in Bristol, one of four children; he has two sisters and a brother. May attended Caerleon Endowed Junior School in Newport, then in Monmouthshire. He spent his teenage years in South Yorkshire where he attended Oakwood Comprehensive School in Rotherham and was a choirboy at Whiston Parish Church. He was also at school with Life On Mars and Ashes to Ashes star Dean Andrews. A keen flautist and pianist, he later studied music at Pendle College, Lancaster University. After graduating, May briefly worked at a hospital in Chelsea as a records officer, and had a short stint in Her Majesty's Civil Service.
Your eyes reflect the fire that burns this city.
The tall buildings reach for the air above the smoke.
The sky will never clear.
A trumpet sounds the revolution.
The streets are crowded with the expressionless armies.
I will let your light shine to reveal such beauty...
I will stumble pick me up and I will say,
"Oh father,My father, I am humbled before you.
Your grace strengthens me and I will walk with you all of my days.
Are you the victim?
How have they made you hate?
Rest easy on your pillow of false beliefs.
Sleep silent tonight.
You know where you are heading.
Your hate has died down.
Burn well.
You cast a shadow upon others when you justify.
You kneel and worship on the alter of hate.
You wear your mask because you are so proud of what you stand for.
Let down the shield and show the world the ignorance, show them the truth.
You've burnt down your convictions,
Now only ashes and false hope remain.
Stand under the fire and stare upon your sins.
You cannot purge your hands of the blood.
Burn tomorrow for today, burn well.
Reflections seem so transparent, the screams echo beneath me.
This hate has driven the nails into open hands.
The hour is drawing near as I approach the room.
Now fear will end and my life will continue.
These memories will fall, I'll never see you cry.
All I want is to live a normal life.
My eyes have yet to open and already I have wounds that will never heal.
You let my heartbeat fade.
I shut my eyes.
The light fades as I descend into a perfect state.
I shut my eyes.
The light fades as I descend into a perfect state.
Father, embrace in silence.
Don't ever climb down to face the truth.
I try to scream but it is without sound.
Heal the scars that present themsleves.
Longing from seperation from yourself.
YOU MURDERER.
YOU LET ME BLEED.
YOU MURDERER.
YOU HAVE FORSAKEN ME.
I see through unclouded eyes.
I see innocent eyes suffer.
What a perfect web you weave.
Placed to cloud my eyes.
I wipe away awkward silences with longing words.
In the end there will be words crashing and knees bowing.
Now numb the consequences and repent.
Scream with the sound of a thousand nails being driven through your palms.
Oh Lord, behold my imperfections.
I long to see the day when I kneel before you with a servants heart.
Humilty recieves what truth preclaims.
In the end there will be words crashing and knees bowing.
In the end there will be words crashing and knees bowing.
Oh Lord, behold my imperfections.
Sustain my heart.
Grant me the heart of a servant.
Lord, come tonight with the wind you have created.
I will walk with you through the gates in the promised kingdom.
Your hand in mine I stand in awe.
Let me not exist in this apathy.
I will drink from the cup and rest in your arms forever.
I long to kneel before the golden thrones and worship.
I will stand beside you as the Earth is engulfed in flames.
I will give my all to my king.
Breath of God lift me, and the seventh seal is broken.
The first trumpet is sounded and there came hail
And fire mixed with blood, a third is burned.
I watch my brothers rise with the stars.
I am never alone.
The skys open and my king comes with the clouds.
Every eye is watching, even those who have pierced him.
I await your arrival and prepare your throne next to mine my breatheran.
You are with me always, and always I will serve you, until the end.
Please take this kinfe from my back
So I may drive it through your cold heart
And let your tears flow like a river racing towards your palms
And empty onto the bed on which we laid for years.
It's been four years and I still haven't forgotten.
When will this river wash away the tears?
It's been four years and I still haven't forgotten.
When will this river wash away the tears?
Please take this knife from my back
The sky fades away, it all began as smiles and laughter.
You fade away into my arms.
The sky fades away, it all begins as smiles and laughter.
You fade away into my arms.
Love lost, the weapon still in my hands.
The agony begins, lost, lost, the weapon still in my hands.
The agony begins.
You fade away.
For so long I have wished that dreaming would be enough
But the reality is driven by your tears.
Today I was made helpless.
His hands stuck deep within.
Tonight the stars won't shine bright.
Buried beneath the fallen sky.
Consumed beneath endless stars.
Your quiet voice tore through my heart.
Today I was made helpless, your quite voice tore through my heart.
His hands stuck deep within.
The whisper stream ran through the town for days.
The backwoods insecurities had laid him six feet below
Where the snow now covers the roses.
They were afraid of where his eyes might find their fix as well as their own.
They thought that they knew him but they didn't even know themselves.
The whisper stream flowed across this country.
The headlines printed the words of self defense.
Did he deserve to die?
Do they deserve to live?
Choke on the lies you live.
Your forked tounge speaks of nothing at all.
Sleep on a bed of nails to pierce such a spineless back.
The tears of innocence falls into cold hands and dries.
Amputate your tounge entwined with deceit.
A congregation gathers and heals, gathers and weeps.
They entrusted warm words in their hearts but all is broken.
Nothing remains, no mantle left to protect their hearts.
Severing memories of content.
Shards lay facedown on the feeble ground.
Obscure visions breathe.
Thriving upon careless words encased in out world.
Tear at your throat that produces words that mislead.
Let it bleed uncontrolably.
Hold still, breathe, wait as they force their dreams within our concious.
Inhaling indirection, exhale steadily.
Eyes straing to see without the inferno.
Produced beneath recoiling kingdoms.
Repent, my eyes searching for something, anything that is lost.
My trust would have been a good place to start.
I have no one to blame but myself for leaning upon careless works.
They were what kept me standing.
They kept me feeling alive.
Eyes locked upon the flesh, staring watching God's plan dismantled.
Eyes locked upon the flesh, staring watching God's plan dismantled.
Eyes asphixiate, misery is my consequence.
Eyes asphixiate, misery is my consequence.
The eyes that burn into the skin.
The eyes that I should have gouged out one thousand times.
The eyes that rape God's beauty.
Why are you still alive?
no words need to enter our lips
the sun is tickling our cheeks
this warm breeze draws circles in the sand
the wind is dancing on our hands
then we
just run
through the sun
then we just run
through the sun
i wish that
time stands still
only for a while
time stands still
if only for a
while
time stands still
i'm breathing the scent of the sun going down
we hear both our feet landing on the ground
the stillness tastes just like sweet milk foam
our inner voice shows us the way back home
then back we
through the sun
then back we run
through the sun
i wish that
time
stands still
I wish you joy
I wish you fun
I wish you rainbows
In your sun
I wish you [.........]
I wish you sky
I wish you rivers
that never cry
But most of all
I wish you love
Most of all
I wish you love
I wish you clouds
I wish you light
I wish you sweet dreams
In your night
I wish you sea
I wish you sand
I wish you stardust
In your hand
But most of all
I wish you love
Most of all
I wish you love
I wish you peace
I wish you calm
I wish you fortune
In your palm
I wish you [........]
I wish you flowed
No matter where you
You may go
But most of all
I wish you love
Most of all
I wish you love
Most of all
I wish you love
And most of all
I wish you love
Which I can say
So I can reach
You'll be a man one day
And you'll go your own way
Until then
I wish you all
that you require
I wish you everything
Your heart desires
I wish you young
I wish you bold
I wish you time
Down streets of gold
But most of all
I wish you love
Most of all
I wish you love
Most of all
I wish you love
And most of all
I wish you love
And most of all
I wish you love
And most of all
