Debian :: Sed With Bash Variable In Rules File
Jun 6, 2015
How can we do a file replacing string on debian/rules file using sed and bash variable ? I don't seem to be able to do so. I have tried below under the install section with arch dependent amd64, as far as I know all the bash commands are allowed to be executed in debian/rules file.
I have tried this :
Code: Select all
debian/rules file
ipaddr=`<long command to find ipaddr>`
myVar=`hostname`
sed -i -e 's/somestring/'$myVar'/g' $(configs)*
sed -i -e "s/somestring/$myVar/g" $(configs)*
[Code]...
Nothing works. Sed works but the hostname replacement doesn't work.

I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.
For example:
Code:
Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

I know that cat can output the file, but how do you store that output in a variable to process:
Code:
CONTENT=cat file.txt
This doesn't seem to work?

I googled and tried to find an easy step by step-by-step guide on how to use a bash script read a variable from a file. This is the way I did it (but it does not really work so something is wrong, but what?) (testfil2 contains one line that readsidnumber=1578
#!/bin/bash
value="/home/user1/Desktop/testfil2"
echo $value
kill $pidnumber

At my wit's end I can't find anything that I understand well enough to use. This is for a Unix class, we are working with shell scripting. File1 has 5 in it and File2 has 100 in it.The teacher wants us to read the values then do the math. This is what I have so far:#!/bin/bashvar1='cat File1'var2='cat File2'var3=`echo "scale=4; $var1 / $var2" | bc`echo The final result is: $var3

I am trying to think of a logic where my file contains some data I had to read and do some processing. Issue is that file contains data multiple times. For example:
:::::::::::
var1=value1
var2=value2
[code].....
I have to read first paragraph of variables and do some processing and then move on until the end of file. Variable names are same in whole file but for each paragraph the value is different. I can't think of a logic to attain this task. How can I do it? It should be a simple bash script, but I am not able to work out.

I am writing a script that calls a program which writes a lot of lines to stdout continuosly. If the last line in stdout has some regex, THEN, certain variables are updated. My problem is that I don't know how to do that.
A simplified example would be (it's not my exact case, but it I write it here to clarify): suppose I issue a ping command (which writes output to stdout continuously). Every time that the response time is t=0.025 ms, THEN, VARIABLE1=(column1 of that line) and VARIABLE2=(column2 of that line).
I think the following code would work in awk (however, I want the variables in bash and I don't know how to export them)
Code: Select allping localhost |awk '{ if ( $8 == "time=0.025" ) var1=$1 var2=$2}'
In the previous code, awk analyzes each line of the output of the ping command as soon as it is created, so the variables $var1, $var2, ... are updated at the appropriate time. But I need the "real-time" updated values of $var1, $var2 in bash, for later use in the script.

I'm trying to build the package "minitunes" [url] but when I attempt the code:
The build exits with the code dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
This actually happens when I try to build any package with "dh_make" so I'm wondering if it is because of my debian/rules file, which I'm not so certain how to edit.
What should actually be in such a file? I have mine posted below for the minitunes package debian/rules:

Consolidate several lines of a CSV file with firewall rules, in order to parse them easier?
I have a .csv file, which I created using an HTML export from a Check Point firewall. The objective is to have all the firewall configuration lines where a given host is present. I have to do this for a few hundred, manually is not a reasonable option. I'm going to write a simple Python script for this.
The problem is that the output from the Check Point firewall is complicated to work with. If a firewall rule works with several source or destination hosts, services or other configurations, instead of having them separated with a symbol other than a comma, I get a new line.
This prevents me from exporting the line where the host is present, since I would be missing info.
Let me show you an example, hostnames are modified, of course:
NO.;NAME;SOURCE;DESTINATION;VPN**;SERVICE;ACTION;TRACK;INSTALL ON;TIME;COMMENT
1;;fwxcluster;mcast_vrrp;;vrrp;accept;Log;fwxcluster;Any;"VRRP;;*Comment suppressed*
;;;;;igmp;;;;;
2;;fwxcluster;fwxcluster;;FireWall;accept;Log;fwxcluster;Any;"Management FWg;*Comment suppressed*
;;fwmgmpe;fwmgmpe;;ssh;;;;;
;;fwmgm;fwmgm;;;;;;;
3;NTP;G_NTP_Clients;cmm_ntpserver_pe01;;ntp;accept;None;fwxcluster;Any;*Comment suppressed*

I have a CSV file, which I created using an HTML export from a Check Point firewall policy. Each rule is represented as several lines, in some cases. That occurs when a rule has several address sources, destinations or services.
I need the output to have each rule described in only one line. It's easy to distinguish when each rule begins. In the first column, there's the rule ID, which is a number.
Here's an example. In green are marked the strings that should be moved:
See example. The strings that should be moved are in bold:
NO.;NAME;SOURCE;DESTINATION;SERVICE;ACTION;
1;;fwgcluster;mcast_vrrp;vrrp;accept;
;;;;igmp;;
2;Testing;fwgcluster;fwgcluster;FireWall;accept;
;;fwmgmpe;fwmgmpe;ssh;;
;;fwmgm;fwmgm;;;
What I need ,explained in pseudo code, is this:
Read the first column of the next line. If there's a number:
Evaluate the first column of the next line. If there's no number there, concatenate (separating with a comma) the strings in the columns of this line with the last one and eliminate the text in the current one
The output should be something like this. The strings in bold are the ones that were moved:
NO.;NAME;SOURCE;DESTINATION;SERVICE;ACTION;
1;;fwgcluster;mcast_vrrp;vrrp-igmp;accept;
;;;;;;
2;Testing;fwgcluster-fwmgmpe-fwmgm;fwgcluster-fwmgmpe-fwmgm;FireWall-ssh;accept;
;;;;;;
The empty lines are there only to be more clear, I don't actually need them.

I'm making a script I want to be able to just call (ie, rclick instead of ./rclick) where do I put it?
~/bin?
/bin?
/usr/bin?
Also, how do I pass a variable to the script (rclick 10 will rightclick 10 times) (Found, so simple... $1)Lastly, can I force it to run on CPU2? CPU1 is completley locked up if I run this on it... Or can I make it use less cpu cycles?

Just a simple BASH for loop to read the file path from a text file (clean.txt) echo the variable for debug purposes, and scp it to a server I have using port 50 for SSH.
I've already formatted the entries in clean.txt to handle spaces correctly, using sed replacement.
Example from the clean.txt file:
Code:
/MP3/NAS000000001/Barenaked Ladies/Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked For The Holidays/20 Auld Lang Syne.mp3

i've just started to learn about functions in Bash scripting. I'm able to set the functions and execute the commands correctly. However, if my_var is set in the first function and then later in the script in the script the 2nd function is called, it doesn't seem to remember my_var and quits (at least i suspect this is the problem).
Here's my code (it requires yad available via webupd8. org). My specific problem seems to lay in line #27 where if we view the changelog and then exit that window, it returns to the "main" function but any subsequent commands cause a crash. Is this because of the get command on line #29? It's presumably now out of scope after calling menu on line #25?

I have a file with around 1000 IP addresses in it and I need to be able to ssh into each one of them, run a single command, and then exit. I already know the ssh command I want to run and it looks like this:
Code:
shpass -p [password] ssh -p 10022 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@[ip variable] 'reboot'
(I know shpass is not good to use and keys are the correct way but I don't have any other options in this scenario.) if these ip addresses were in a .csv file, by themselves with no other information, how would I create a script to do the above command to each ip until the end of the file?

I cannot for the life of me get this little (simple) script I wrote to work. Here is the entire script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ASPECT=`mediainfo $1 |grep "Display aspect ratio" |cut -d : -f 2`
HEIGHT=`echo "320 / $ASPECT" |bc`
SIZE=`echo 320x$HEIGHT`
[code]......
An input filename ($1) is fed into mediainfo, which by the use of grep and cut spits out a single number which is the aspect ratio. This is then divided by bc into 320, which gives the desired height dimension for the file that I want ffmpeg to create for me. Finally, ffmpeg runs using the calculated dimensions... Basically, it's the passing of the $ASPECT variable to bc that seems to fail. It looks like bc won't read the output from the mediainfo line... It always crashes out with:
Code:
(standard_in) 1: illegal character: ^M I've tried doing something even simpler like this to debug by just trying it to display the calculation on the screen:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ASPECT=`mediainfo $1 |grep "Display aspect ratio" |cut -d : -f 2`
HEIGHT=`echo "320 / $ASPECT" |bc`
echo $HEIGHT
and it does the same, so it's definitely bc that won't accept the output from mediainfo.
