I'm new to UNIX scripting; I�m stuck with the following I have an Oracle SQL script that takes three parameters
1- File Name
2- File Path
3- File creation date
Under UNIX I have a folder where files will be placed frequently and I need to upload those files to Oracle, what I need is a UNIX script that can do the following
Loop through Directory "/home/applmgr/snktmp"
Picks only files
Pass the file name to parameter &1
[code]....
Is the above possible? I already knows how to call the Oracle Script from UNIX Im only stuck on writing the UNIX part where it List the files attribute(name,path,date) and store them to parameters ,Looping until the last file in the directory If the above is not possible,then how can I create the below from the command line
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
How is shell history specific to each tty? I can't see anything in the history files that would indicate which tty a command was performed on, however if I restart and log in on several ttys, the command order and history is preserved on each. How is this accomplished? This goes for zsh and bash equally.Now for some zsh specific questions.I had a saved webpae, which resulted in a file called doku.php.htm, and a directory called doku.php_files - I could only get zsh to expand the directory. It didnt seem to give me the option to cycle nor did it only complete as much as it could with ambiguity, i.e. to doku.php , so what is this behaviour and where can I read about it?
Secondly I would like to know why zsh interactive shells do not expand the PS1 prompt completely. Whenever I open an xterm or such, the prompt is not the normal PS1 prompt. I read through the manuals and config files, and could see nowhere that staed a different prompt should be used depending on the shell type. Why does this happen, and how can I modify this behavior?Regarding modules, if I install the compat-wifi modules which I assume replace the existing ones, how would I uninstall them? Would I just reinstall the normal kernel modules over them?

I am wondering if there is an easier way? I suspect, a custom script is in order, but perhaps someone else has done something similar before.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a program that I run from the terminal that requires manual input (it's matlab in mex debugging mode, matlab -Dgdb, which starts the GNU C debugger with its own custom settings).
Every time I run this program I always type in the same few commands in the program's interactive shell before I actually start working (for example: run -nojvm; stop at mexFunction; continue). I want to avoid typing these commands and I thought I could do this with shell scripting, saving the commands in the mycommands file, then running: myprogram < mycommands
The problem is that this runs all the commands and then exits the program. I want it to run the commands and return control to me so I can run my commands. Is there a way to tell the shell to use a file or a string as the input to a program then immediately return control to the user without the exiting the program?

My own computer doesn't have this, how can I configure it? I'm using Xubunto, if more details are needed let me know -- I'm not much of a Linux user (I don't know what's relevant here).

Where the numbers are the number of processes being run by the user (the name right next to it).if I input the command egrep myFile into the terminal, it should look for every line with the letter x in myFile, right?
I've looked everywhere but I can't find where to change the default box for incoming mail, or am I on the wrong track. It's a nuisance having to change folders and I can't configure wastebin to empty on exit.And I can't get kmail to import from evolution. Do I have to go to the evolution storage and do it manually, and if so, how do I do that?
