I am using "if" to force a word under the condition that the first letter of that word must be a letter of the alphabet, regardless of capitalization, using the " "" != "" " syntax.
Like so:
Code:
if [[ "$interface" != "WHAT DO I PUT HERE?" ]] ; then
echo "Invalid input"
exit 1
fi
if anyone knows plz explain this conditional operator timeout ? : MAX SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT
View 2 Replies View RelatedI pride myself on at least trying to help myself before I ask, but I've been staring at this a long time, I'm just not getting any traction.I've literally got 3 linux references on my desk right now that say that I should be able to use if conditionals, for example
[ -d FILE ]True if FILE exists and is a directory.
[ -e FILE ]True if FILE exists.
[ -f FILE ]True if FILE exists and is a regular file.

I have a BASH script which at one point asks the user a yes/no question. I want to make it so that if the user types in an invalid input 3 times consecutively then the BASH script will echo an error and terminate with exit status 1.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a bit of an issue using overloaded operators in an already overloaded operator. In my following code, I have overloaded the && operator to compare two Course objects. The operator in turn goes to a function which calls other overloaded operators to compare private object variables of that object to compare them.

I have a server with what appears to have 352 home directories (350 actually if you omit '.' & '..') & I am being asked to basically tally a list of whom all 350 users are in alphabetical order. Now I could sit here for days doing the 'finger' command to obtain their full name commented in '/etc/passwd' file but I would assume there is a script or way I could have Linux quirry the '/etc/passwd' file & take all the user 'comment' entries and export them to a list in alphabetical order. Does anyone know if this could happen and if so, how would I do something like this? I can't write bash / shell scripts to save my life
Code:
cmennens@mail]:/$ ls -l
total 160

Is there a way to use the ?: operator for if-else decision in a shell script?
edit: the 'question mark - colon' operator (just editing so that its searchable by someone in need :-P)
$dec93 = 93;
$ser = SERVO;
$lbit = uc(sprintf("%02x
", $dec93));
if($lbit == 5D){
print DATA "Byte11: $fbits11=$bstr11 Bits:[95-88] $ser
";
}else{
sleep(1);
}
Why do I get this error? Bareword found where operator expected at C:Perl ScriptsLbits.pl line 64, near "5D" (Missing operator before D?)

To be more specific, I'd like to achieve that no banner is shown when logging in from my company's IP range(s) or when logging in from home, but any unknown address (potential intruder) should be confronted with our legal warning.Is this at all possible?The server is located off-site and only has one ethernet device active (i.e. I cannot say eth0 is external, eth1 is internal)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a make file to deploy software in a production setup.
The first thing I'm trying to do is detect if the user running the make is root.
From the documentation scattered about, I came up with this:
Code:
USERID=$(shell id -u)
all:
$(info User Id is $(USERID))
ifeq ($(REQUIRED_USER),0)
$(info Running as root... OK)

As you can see, in both situations, make executes both branches of the conditional.

I am facing the following issue. My application runs perfectly in red hat linux(32bit, 64bit physical m/c and 32 bit vmWare m/c) and in one version of centOS(32bit physical m/c - don't remember the version:Sorry). However when I am running the same application in CentOS 5.4 (64bit version) I face the following issues -
a. the application gets stuck in the conditional wait even though the signal is sent after the application has moved to conditional wait. b. vsftpd service start fails from within the application even though the service starts and stops peroperly from console.

I'm trying to get Chinese filenames to be listed in alphabetical order according to pinyin. Long ago I remember having to install a particular package for that to happen, but in the past year or so I believe that ubuntu at least was doing that automatically. On my most recent linux installation, however, I find that it's not sorting file names by pinyin order. I'm wondering if I have forgotten to install something this time.
