General :: Recalculate Variable For Each Pass Of An Until Loop?

Feb 11, 2010

I am trying to write a script that will find any user on the server running more than one instance of the epiphany web browser process, then kill all their epiphany pids. (This is necessary sometimes to cure lockups, and repeat processes are the telltale sign in this case). I have tried implementing the until loop:

Code:
USER=`ps aux | grep epiphany | grep -v grep | sort | uniq -d -w 5 | awk '{print $1}'`
until [[ "$USER" == "" ]]
do
ps aux | grep epiphany | grep -v grep | grep $USER | awk '{print $2}' | sudo xargs kill
done

Unfortunately, the script only calculates the USER variable once at the beginning of the script. Fair enough, that's how it's written. My question is, how would I get the USER variable to update for each pass of the until loop so that it could cure multiple users of this ailment if necessary? That is, calculate $USER, kill their epiphany pids, repeat those two steps until the $USER variable comes up blank, then exit.

Programming :: Bash - Read Content Of File To Variable And Use This Variable In For Loop ?

Aug 21, 2009

I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.

For example:

Code:

Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

General :: Pass A Variable From One Script To Another?

Nov 22, 2009

I want to pass a variable from one script to another, I have a feeling it's extremely simple.

I looked at exporting, but apparently that clogs up the shell, so I don't want to go down that route. Any suggestions?

General :: Pass A Variable To A Function That Already Being Escaped?

Jul 28, 2010

What i want to do is create multiple informix sql statements & later run them via a bash script.

Here is what i have so far (this works) but is meant to be run from a cron job so it only does one day at a time:

echo "
update hst`date --date='yesterday' +%m%d%y`
set x = 'GARP'
where y in ('CRE', 'LAC', 'SRL', 'JAG', 'JNM', 'BIM')

General :: Anything Syntactically To Pass Variable To Smbclient?

Feb 23, 2010

I am trying to pass a variable to smbclient (OS X), but the variable is recognized only as its strict text.

Is there anything syntactically I have to do pass a variable created in the shell (bash) to smbclient (or perhaps any other interactive app)? I've seen references to variables as $[variable] or ${variable} but I've not been able to figure out what works.

General :: Shell Script - Use Variable In A For Loop With Directory Path?

Jan 19, 2011

I modified files in several directories, and need to run a diff on the backup I created before modifying the file.

I'm trying to compose a simple shell script to speed up the task, but getting a syntax error.

Here is what I have:

for i in DIR1 DIR2 DIR3 DIR4 DIR5 do;
diff /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt.old /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt;
done

I know the paths are valid, and if I run just the diff command with the actual DIR1 instead of $i it works.

Programming :: Pass Arguments To A Function Using A Loop

Mar 1, 2010

I need to pass a large number of arguments to a function which takes variable number of arguments, such as gtk_list_store_new. But it doesn't look nice if i write something like gtk_list_store_new(NUM,TYPE_A,TYPE_B,TYPE_C,...,TYPE_OMEGA); because of large number of arguments. And, it will be a trouble to change number of columns because of need to manually change arguments to large number of such functions. So, how can i pass all the arguments to a function using a loop? Something like

Code:
for(i=0;i<NUM;i++)
{
push_arg(args[i]);
}
call_function(func);
?

Of course, i could just use asm code for this, but is there a portable way of doing so?

P.S. i mean C language.

I just want it to be the actual text "/mnt/accounts/user/temp/*.jpg" which i will be combining with other text to create a longer path elsewhere in the code.

Programming :: Pass Variable From One Shell Script Into Another

Oct 2, 2009

I have some messy code that I wrote a while back and I am trying to organize it. The program opens xpaint and uses xwit and xte to draw packman and so on. I want to split it all up I am going to add more to it. Basically like i would want drawing packman in one function i guess you could call it and then coloring him or the background in another

<code>
#!/bin/bash
pkill xpaint
res=`xwininfo -root | grep geom | sed -e 's/^.*try ([0-9][0-9]*x[0-9][0-9]*)+.*$/1/'`
Xoriginal=`echo $res | cut -d 'x' -f 1`
Yoriginal=`echo $res | cut -d 'x' -f 2`

X=`echo "($Xoriginal/2)-400" | bc `
Y=`echo "$Yoriginal/2" | bc `
#t=$(($Y/2))
bob=`echo "$Y/2" |bc `
echo $X
echo $Y

/usr/bin/xpaint -size "$Xoriginal"x"$Yoriginal" -popped &
sleep 4
paintersMom=`xwit -all -print | grep XP | cut -d ":" -f 1`
canvasWin=`xwit -all -print | grep Untitled | cut -d ":" -f 1`
#toolres=`xwininfo -id $paintersmom | grep geom | sed -e 's/^.*try ([0-9][0-9]*x[0-9][0-9]*)+.*$/1/'`
#canres=`xwininfo -id $canvasWin | grep geom | sed -e 's/^.*try ([0-9][0-9]*x[0-9][0-9]*)+.*$/1/'`

#echo $paintersMom
xwit -id $paintersMom -move 0 0
xwit -id $canvasWin -move 0 0
xwit -root -warp "$X" "$Y"
sleep 4
for((i=45; i < 315; i++))
do
xte 'mousedown 1'
ang=`./deg2rad $i`

movex=`echo "$X+$bob*c($ang)" | bc -l`
movey=`echo "$Y+$bob*s($ang)" | bc -l`
xwit -root -warp "$movex" "$movey"
done
xwit -root -warp "$X" "$Y"
xte 'mouseup 1'

#xwit -id $paintersMom -focus -raise
#sleep 1
#xwit -id $paintersMom -warp 30 390 #// fill in command on tool bar
#sleep 1
#xte 'mouseclick 1'
#sleep 1
#xwit -id $canvasWin -warp 221 40 #// color selection
#sleep 1
#xte 'mouseclick 1'
#sleep 1
#xwit -id $canvasWin -warp "$(($X-150))" "$Y" #//location on pac man
#sleep 1
#xte 'mouseclick 1'
#sleep 1

#xwit -id $canvasWin -warp 62 44 #// selecting color black
#sleep 1
#xte 'mouseclick 1'
#sleep 1
#xwit -root -warp 62 120 #// selecting back to canvas
#sleep 1
#xte 'mouseclick 1' #// color canvas black
#sleep 1
#xwit -id $paintersMom -focus -raise
#xwit -id $paintersMom -warp 27 108 #//click back to pencil
#sleep 1
#xte 'mouseclick 1'
#sleep 1
</code>

Here for example $paintersmom is would be in the drawing of pacman but I would also want to use it when I colored him in.. but I would want both processes in a different shell script.

Programming :: Pass An Expect Command Result Into A Variable And Then Use It Again?

May 4, 2010

I'm trying to create a program that would locate the oldest file of a certain type on a server. Here's the commands:

OLDEST_PATH=`find -L / -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1`
OLDEST_FILE=`find -L $OLDEST_PATH | grep .mp3 | sort -f | head -1`
ls -al $OLDEST_FILE

I'm writing this all in expect but I'm having problems. The main problem I have is whenever I try to run the first command, I can't seem to isolate the result of the OLDEST_PATH so that the 2nd command will work. There always seems to be a newline in the variable and the result is only "find -L" command running and it bypasses the variable. If I can just figure out how to get the 1st and 2nd command to work, then I can figure out the 3rd. Here's some code:

Code:
send "find -L / -depth -maxdepth 6 -mindepth 6 -type d | sort -f | head -1
"
sleep 20
expect -re "(.*)

[Code]....

I know there is a better way to write this. I've tried multiple ways and this just happens to be the last way I've tried it. If you try running this, you'll notice that there is still carriage returns after the result of OLDEST_PATH and it prevents the 2nd "find" command from working properly.

Programming :: Using A Variable To Control A BASH For Loop

Jul 3, 2009

I know of 4 different ways to use a for loop:

1. for I in {1..10}; do echo $I; done|

2. for I in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do echo $I; done|

3. for I in $(seq 1 10); do echo $I; done|

4. for ((I=1; I <= 10 ; I++)); do echo $I; done

I have a script which uses the 1st form of for loop. I'm trying to modify it to use a variable instead of a static hard-coded value in the section that controls the looping.of the for loop.

I've tried all different ways of quoting and escaping the variable, and the problem is that the quoting chars and escape char are being translated and passed into the loop along with the value stored in the variable.

For example, to change the start value of 1 to whatever value I want passed in through a variable:

Change:

I have tried: {{$a}..10} and {`$a`..10}, to have the variable evaluated first.

I have tried using the eval() function.

I have tried single and double quotes and the backslash escape character.

Nothing I've tried works. It's probably a syntax error.

Programming :: Bash Variable Parsing / Extract And Put Into Variables Each Combination Of F1 And F2 In A Loop?

Oct 14, 2010

I have a bash variable where the content looks like this where ;f1; and ;f2; are delimiters:
;f1;field1value1;f2;field2 value1 ;f1;field1value2;f2;field2 value2 ;f1;field1value3;f2;field2 value3

So what I need is to extract and put into variables each combination of f1 and f2 in a loop to something like that:

#first pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value1
f2=field2 value1

#second pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value2
f2=field2 value2

# third pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value3
f2=field2 value3

Programming :: SH: Passing A Variable Out Of A "while - Do - Done" Loop

Jul 3, 2011

"While ; do ; done" is very convenient for SH coding. However sometimes you may be annoyed by your computed variable within the "while do done" type loop. What to do how to pass it out of the loop to the outside of the bash code? A solution is to write it into the /tmp or on the disk... and to call it back after. - not elegant... really not... Anyone would know a trick another alternative that would look nicer?

Code:
# Count file total size
TOTAL_SIZE=0
LISTOFFILES=`cat "$HOME/.fvwmoscfg/fvwmburnerlist.lst"`
echo "$LISTOFFILES" | while read i ; do
SIZE=`du -bs $i | cut -f 1`
TOTAL_SIZE=`expr $SIZE + $TOTAL_SIZE`
echo "$TOTAL_SIZE" > "$HOME/.fvwmoscfg/fvwmburnerlisttotalsize.lst"
done
TOTAL_SIZE=`cat $HOME/.fvwmoscfg/fvwmburnerlisttotalsize.lst`

echo "The total size of all files and folders is : $TOTAL_SIZE"
