General :: Bash Scripting - Executes A Few Perl Scripts - Create A New Array And Take The Hostname
Apr 4, 2011
I'm writing a bash script that executes a few perl scripts. One of the perl scripts that I need to execute requires two arguments with it. The arguments are stored in a txt file, each line contains a hostname and its corresponding IP address separated by a ":" (colon), the txt file looks like this below:
[Code]...
I'm not sure if it's the best way to accomplish this but here it goes. In the bash file, let's call it getHosts.sh, I create an array and assign each line of the file to an element in that array. I then think I need to create a new array where I take the hostname (which is before the ":") separate it from its IP address and place the IP address on a new line just below the hostname (this way I can reference to it like $hostNames[$x] would be the hostname, and $hostNames[$x+1] would be its IP address). So the new array would now look like this below:

how come I can create a shell script file with two functions, I can execute the file, but when running declare -f, the functions are not on memory, and when invoking the function bash returns invalid. In the other hand, I can copy & paste the two functions at the end of my /etc/bashrc file.... then I can called the function by name.... and the commands within that function run on my session. here is a print of all my bash packets:

Does Fedora has restrictions on shell scripting? I haven't touch bash in seven years, so if things have change on it I'm behind on it, and sorry for my ignorance.

How do I make it so the terminal executes mi script to create a vector. I know MV is the name and the output should be aa aa aa, but nothing?

Iv got an assignment to complete and I'm stuck at the basic level.
A part of the assigned problem is :
The main process will read the file, and will create N number of child processes (Where N is taken as input) as early as possible before all the children starts its execution. Before creation of each child, the main process should read the file to store all the required data in then corresponding data structure. Child processes should not read the file for getting their information.
As far as my knowledge about this , the child executes before the parent. How do I make the parent not pass the control to it's children before it finishes creating all the children?

I have an array called arrayini which stores numbers. I want to take log to the base 2 of each of the numbers in that array and put it in file called result. I've used the following code to do it.
Code:
size=${#arrayini[@]}
for ((i=0;i<size;i++))
do
echo "scale = 12; l(${arrayini[$i]})/l(2)" | bc -l
done >result
It works fine but its taking pretty long to calculate since I've got about 230,000 items in the array. So I decided to store the result into an array hoping that it'd be faster. I tried the following code. arrayresult is where I try and store the result. The code doesn't work because of the second last line.
Code:
unset arrayresult
size=${#arrayini[@]}
for ((i=0;i<size;i++))
do
arrayresult[$i]="scale = 12; l(${arrayini[$i]})/l(2)" | bc -l
done >FILE2
There is a syntax error clearly.

I'm writing a script that gives me some pertinent info about my servers, and the last little piece I need to figure out is the process list. There are going to be non-technical people looking at the output of the script and I'm trying to make it as simple as possible.
Right now, if I do ps -ef | grep <process> | grep -v grep
It obviously shows me the process, but the problem is that there is 4 lines of info in front of the process. ie
root PID date time java -1024 -cp oh,my,god,there,is,so,much,data,it,carries,on,for,4,lines,I,want,to,shoot,myself,trying,to,read,it,f inally,in,the,end,there,is,a,space /here/is/the/process
I'd like the output to be something like this:
PID: #### Process: /here/is/the/process
I've thought about how I could take the output and use awk or sed but I know there is probably an easier way to do it with perl.

I have an array ch and I want to increment each element in my array for the following if statement. I'm not sure I have the right array increment syntax but I have tried it in different ways ant it doesn't seem to work.
I tried ch[$1]++, ch[$1]+1, ch[$1++], ch[$1]+=1, ch[$1]=ch[$1]+1 none of these seem to work.
# while loop reading from read.txt for check list 1 - 15
for i in `seq 15`
do
a=`grep "${cl[$i]}" $file`
status=$?
if [[ $status = 0 ]];
then
echo -n -e "1 "
let ch[$i+1]
let k++
else
echo -n -e "0 "
fi
done
for l in `seq 20`
do
echo -n -e "${ch[$l]} "

I have a question;
Is it possible to set incrontab in bash script? I tried to set normal crontab and it works like a charm but unfortunately not "incrontab"
I have two bash files; test-incrontab.sh and addlinetocrontab.sh and here are the contents of these files respectively;
Code:
Code:
As you can see there are two enteries in each file. One for normal crontab and other one for incrontab. When i run "test-incrontab.sh" like following;
Code:
crontab works perfectly and i can see cron job set but for incrontab it just does not work. No error either!
I am only getting this back "table unchanged"

I'm trying to get an output of a file in numeric order. Basically I need the starting number and the ending number in sed this into anther file. The test2.lis file I'm just awk'ing for the first row and if its out of order put it in order so I can grab the first and last numbers. I'm sure I can do this all in an array. The first sed command gets rid of blank lines and outputs it to a file. Then I head and tail for the first and last number then I want to sed those numbers into a file that exsist.
[code]...
The error I get is:
sed: -e expression #1, char 24: unterminated `s' command.

I am working on a simple script that should take two command line arguments, a [number] and a [name]. The first thing the script should do is check to make sure that no more and no less than two command line arguments have been entered when calling the script - an error message should be delivered if the condition is not true.
If two args have been entered, then the message 'processing "scriptname"' should appear, where scriptname is the name of the script being called. The script should then write to the screen "Hi [name]!", and should write this phrase [number] of times. For example, the command $ myscript 2 joe would produce the output: I have read the manual many times looking for examples, and I am very close by virtue of my own efforts. Further, I have searched these forums and others for good examples, which have also gotten me very close. Still my script is not completing the objective, and I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Script:

I admit I am a little green with the "Bourne Again Shell" (Bash), even though I was always not as proficient with the Bourne or Korn shell as with C Shell. From recent research the public sway is to Bash over tcsh. I can see I have been away from Linux/UNIX way to long. Running a network of workstations (upto 6) and servers (2) running RH Enterprise Linux 5.4 plus in the same network is an old DEC Alpha running Tru64 UNIX (don't know which version): I looking for a method to get the hostname I am logged in on to use in a Bash (or if necessary sh) script. This is to be added to an auto_start shell script start up our application on Linux workstation and servers.

I've been surfing and searching the net quit a while now to make my own script, but I haven't been really successful ever since I want to make a script which can remove strings from my mp3 collection (file names).
For example:
Code:
101-bob_sinclar_feat_sean_paul-tik_tok_(radio_edit).mp3 --> bob_sinclar_feat_sean_paul-tik_tok_(radio_edit).mp3
10-Young Jeezy-Lose My Mind (78 Bpm) (Repack).mp3 --> young_jeezy-lose_my_mind.mp3
Now the problem is how can I remove the strings like:
101 & 10 (dynamic)
(%%% Bpm) (dynamic)
(Repack) (static)

I've been switched to a new department at work and am totally clueless when it comes to scripting in bash. When I told them I was a fast learner, I didn't think they'd throw me into the deep end of the pool so fast. So to make a long story short. What is a great book to start learning scripting in bash? My supervisor already gave me a simple task to do. Conceptually it sounds quite easy in my head, but actually writing out a script is a bit more daunting and complexed than I first thought.

I'm trying to write a script to change the hostname of the computer at the first boot. The reason why I need this script is because I manage a number of training computer and I use Ghost to re-image it every 2 months. The script will read the mac address and the hostname from a csv file and compare it with the mac address on the current machine. I have stuck and don't know what is wrong as I'm new with script.
csv format:
Code:
00:11:22:33:44:55 host01
00:11:22:33:44:56 host02
script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Description
# Change HOSTNAME for each machine from CSV file
#
# CSV File Format
# Each line contains two columns - mac address & hostname
# Description End .....

I am using Linux on my system. I don't have gui for my system, only console is there.
I have some task to create a menu box window using dialog in shell scripting.
I have to take input from user & save it in a file.
But this should like html form as e.g.
Name - .....................
email id - ..................
phone - ......................
location - ...................
Submit Cancel
Such window should be displayed on console using dialog & then user will enter his information there as Name,email id, phone,etc & submit it, then it gets saved to a file. Here submit & cancle are buttons. I have to do it in bash shell scripting. Or give me some examples like the above with shell script code.

I'd like to know some good resources, links, e-books to learn basic Linux system administration scripting. I know how to write very basic BASH shell scripts so I'm still at beginner level. There are so many docs out there that I'd like to narrow down people's opinion's on the best easy to understand resources that are available. Eventually I'd like to learn basic PERL as well.

I want to compare the following two tab-delimited .txt files (both were subsets of the original files) by comparing Columns 3 and 4 simultaneously. It is easy to compare C3 because both C3s are just numbers. But how to compare C4s?Basically, in File1, "G,G" = G in File2, "C,C" = C in File2, "A,A" = A in File2, "T,T"= T in File2.In File2, A/T in Column4 just equals "A,T" or "T,A" in Column4 of File1. C/T in Column4 just equals "C,T" or "T,C" in Column4 of File1, and etc.
File1:
C1C2 C3C4
ih509rs12345467244750"G,G"
ih499rs6049687244911"C,C"
ih508- 7244977"A,A"
