I recently bought an host to have a personal website and would like to create a bash script to create make a mirror copy of it and then add it to crontab to run once a week. Essentially what I want to do is to get the website by using wget -m ftp://user***@ftp.host/mydir
Once this is done I'd like to have everything in an archive called mysite.date.tar.7z I've no experience at all of bash scripting but I guess this should be an easy task? How to make the user and password not visible ? Is there any other option better than wget? (maybe rsync it works better?)

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:

View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to create some aliases for bash shell. On other Unix/Linux machines I have done this using the alias command like this: alias rm rm -i
When I type that into a terminal on Ubuntu, it looks like alias is not installed. I get this:
bash: alias: rm: not found
bash: alias: rm: not found
bash: alias: -i: not found
I tried adding the alias to .bashrc instead, but then I get the same error message every time I start terminal. Just for fun I tried apt-get install alias, just to see what would happen, and it installed something called libperl-alias instead, and alias still doesn't work.

Code:
I tried find command and I'am getting all needed files

I want to jail Skype into its own process and not the one I login with. That way, if a hacker breaks in, it's limited to this process and only the limited functionality that that user account has. The thing is this -- thousands of Linux guys run Skype, but Skype is hardly ever updated or have security patches, and we run it all the time. It seems like an easy avenue for an exploit. As well, my iptables firew all blocks input connections that I have not established, but Skype is an established connection. How do I create a Bash script that launches Skype under a separate user account?
