I create a bash script that writes another bash file. But in the generated bash file I want to write a bash command in the file and not executing it.Here's my bash file:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cat > ~/generateGridmix2data.sh << END
[code]...
below are the details of my system. I have bash as my current shell, some really common commands aren't working.
Do I need to do a re-installation of bash? Or how do I install a selection of bash commands which I need? (for example a subset of [URL])
Code:
root@sdptfw:~ # uname -a
Linux sdptfw.sdpt.co.za 2.4.36 #1 Tue Jul 22 13:13:24 GMT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
root@sdptfw:~ # echo $SHELL$
/bin/bash$
[Code]....
What happens when the script executes is that the ssh connection works and parks me at the remote hosts's shell login. Therefore, the "firefox" command refuses to execute. I need to know how to make the "ssh" connection occur, stay open, and go into the background so that the rest of the script can execute.If I could also do this with the "firefox" line so that the entire term window could be closed would also be helpful.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
trap "echo 'you got me'" SIGINT SIGTERM # to trap ctrl+c
echo "Press ctrl+c during 5 sec loop"
for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do
[Code]...
How come code behaves normally and stops when ctrl+c signal is caught and resumes, but after I use at least one timeout read in the code it looks like, if signal is caught again it doesn't pause the execution but skips the loop. If you remove -t (timeout) option from the read, both loops look the same!
I got a problem with terminal, since i'm really a noob with terminal i don't know how to fix it.Everytime i type in a command it shows for example:

I have written quite a few separate bash & scripts and php scripts that up to now I have run from cron jobs. However I have to estimate how long each takes to run, before running the next and so it probably takes much longer than necessary to run them all. They have to run in order.
Now there are so many I am thinking it would be better to have a master bash script that would run one after the other, but I am not sure how to get the master script to wait before starting to run the next script. Is this possible and is there a command that will make the script wait between bash and php scripts , for them to finish, before running the next?
I have searched and searched and maybe I don't know how to articulate this issue with out just posting the problem I'm having. Every time I bring up a terminal window I get the following "Header"

To be honest I cheated and used the .bashrc / .profile files from Ubuntu and all was working fine for a while now and it seems something changed to cause this... any ideas on why I am getting this? I checked my .bashrc and my /etc/profile and it doesn't look like anything is amiss..
I would like to get the filename (without extension) and the extension separately. The best solution I found so far is:
Let FILE="thefilenameofsomefilesfor_instance.txt"
Code:
NAME=`echo "$FILE" | cut -d'.' -f1`
EXTENSION=`echo "$FILE" | cut -d'.' -f2`
I think it would be better to count the len and remove 3 chars to right to get the extension, but it can be macintosh filenames with have 4 chars for extensions.
Im used to using nautilus within centos but have recently just got a VPS and quickly realising that using a KDE is unacceptable in this environment. Although I do find it so much quicker doing things like folder permissions in KDE rather than typing it all out in the terminal? Everyone I speak to says, use the terminal and I should learn this way as opposed to using the KDE, but theres certain things I just dont get
How is it possible to make quick changes to scripts and viewing them in a browser etc , without a mouse or using KDE? and only using a terminal?? I am wondering how to develop websites just using the terminal?

the script should read the above file and take my input as Size = 8 (may be), count = 3 , sequential = Y and the output should be

and if sequential = N it should give me first 3 ID's with size 8.

If you set or export an environment variable in bash, you can unset it. If you set an alias in bash, you can unalias it. But there doesn't seem to be an unfunction.
Consider this (trivial) bash function, for example, set in a .bash_aliases file and read at shell initialization.
function foo () { echo "bar" ; }
How can I clear this function definition from my current shell? (Changing the initialization files or restarting the shell doesn't count.)
I'm working on a script to manage some stuff on my server and I'm trying to figure out how I can close my script when I'm done with it. I open it using &, but how can I kill it with another script? I'm trying to do this programmatically but I'm very unfamiliar with Linux.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried to start a tcsh on my Fedora 7 (default shell is bash)
[ss@ssvm ~]$ tcsh

As you see, another bash shell started.
I looked at the tcsh file:

It is not a link (but csh is). I don't understand why this is happening.
I am a bash newbie, and am writing a bash script that will allow transfer of files between two computers. BTW, is there a more secure alternative to scp? Currently, I am doing this manually, by using scp. The remote server always prompts me for the password, and I supply that. I want to automate this (hence the bash script). However, I dont want to supply my password in plain text (or if at all - I was under the impression that open SSL does away with passwords and uses certificates etc?).
how I can automate my current process, without explicitly displaying my password. I am running on Ubuntu 10.0.4

View 2 Replies View RelatedFor purposes like compiling GCC from source and being able to do a "profiledbootstrap", I need to be able to use the stage1 compiler (Windows executable) on from Linux. What would be ideal: some setting/command that lets me do gcc.exe from bash and have it work (load WINE automatically). What would be less than ideal but equally fine: tell the GCC build system to call the bootstrap compilers through WINE (ie prepend "wine " to all call to win32 applications).
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen you are performing time consuming operations in bash like installing new software, is it possible to write text that will appear at the prompt when the operation has finished.
E.g
Imagine running:
apt-get install eclipse-platform
Then it will use quite a while to finish while you see the installation log, meanwhile I want to create new folders (workspaces) which Eclipse later will use.
Is this possible without opening a new terminal (or tab)?
