I have a hardware audit script I want to run on several remote machines around my office. Is there a way to run the script that resides on my machine via ssh or do I need to copy the script to the local machine and then run it...
View 4 Repliesbelow 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

I presume there is something in the JWM window manager - or Puppy Linux Lupu 5.01 itself that is conflicting with the normal loading of GMPLAYER....
I would like to know how to troubleshoot, and fix this problem if possible (even a workaround would be great).
I would be running SQL commands (UPDATE/SELECT) from within my bash script. I am completely new to this subject. Is MYSQL used for this purpose? Alternatively, what is sqlplus?

Code:
#!/bin/tcsh
echo 'Hello world!'

so I wrote a small script that pretty much just takes in two numbers and counts from the first to the second, e.g.

My problem is I want to make it so that if you input invalid parameters, such as non-numerical characters, more than 2 numbers, etc., you'd get an error message
I've been trying to write a bash script called runSorter.sh that runs an executable that also takes in some parameters and outputs the results to a text file. The executable, sorter, takes in a number parameter. I want to make it so that you can input as many number parameters into runSorter.sh as you want and it will run the sorter executable for each one. So far, what I have looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
args=("$@")
INDEX=0
if [ -z args ]; then
echo "Error"
else
while [ $# -gt $INDEX ]; do
NUM=${args[$INDEX]}
echo $NUM
echo ./sorter $NUM
let INDEX=INDEX+1
done
fi
My problem is that when I run ./run-sorter.sh 100 on my terminal, it just prints this to the screen:
./sorter 100
How can I have so that it properly executes sorter and outputs everything to a text file?

If I come in and run in manually everything works fine and the file is populated in the file.

Despite the history file is unique (~/.bash_history) I see that the multiple bash processes run on different windows are not all updating that file. I presume that the bash is not taking into account this possibility (multiple bashes on multiple windows) and writes thus the history file in a simple straightforward way. This would mean that a number of history entries are lost. I've tried to find information but had no luck so far.

I have a startup script for jboss (start.sh) that sets some JAVA_OPTS and then calls bash run.sh.If I run it (start.sh) from the command line it runs in the terminal fine. If I make a shortcut launcher for it in gnome and set it for 'application in terminal' it pops up then immediately dies after launch.Not sure what the problem is. Is this not working because one script is calling a second script? But then why does it work when I call ./start.sh?

I'm writing a bash script to move files around based on various bits of metadata. For a few reasons, this script will be run regularly both from the terminal, and from the nautilus-scripts folder ("graphically", if you will). What I'm stumped on is having the script defer outputs based on which mode the script is running in. For example, how can I have the script know whether to echo error statements, or pump them out to zenity based on the method of invocation?

Trying to write a script for desktop launchers that are adaptable to screen resolution. Ideally, the program should:
1. Determine screen resolution:
if "a" use xdotool options window size 1305 x 869 px and move to 135,0
if "b" use xdotool options window size 1545 x 1019 px and move to 135,0
2. Check if program running:
if no, open program, and use "a" or "b" placement options, focus window
if yes, focus window
3. Close script and leave program open (if possible).
Problems arise when trying to use the script on programs that run from and hog the terminal
(e.g. brasero, gcalctool, nautilus)
Here the script will load the program, and nothing else (probably because it still occupies the terminal as it runs)
Code:
gcalctool && xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0
This next command will cause the program to load, move, but it keeps focusing itself like xdotool is running the windowmove function constantly - it keeps focusing itself until script stopped.
Code:
gcalctool & xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0
This had the same effect as the above code, but seems to work as a conditional subscript running when the process is running in the terminal - it just goes infinitely.
Code:
while [1] ; do xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0 done exit
Is there some kind of "if, then" or "while, do" or some kind of conditional I can put in to the script ensure the window is moved only once if the program is running within the terminal? Is there a way to remove the program from the terminal from the script once it's been called?
writing bash scripts (wrote my first one this Sunday) and I'm trying to zip a group of files. It has to be in zip format so alternatives like tar won't work here. I have my script in a folder which has a bunch of Sub-directories in the format "Lab 3" "Lab 5" "Lab 6" etcWhat I'd like to be able to do is take all of the files (just the contents not the folder itself) in the "Lab 3" Folder and put them in Lab3.zip. I'm really close but no matter what I try I keep getting the folders put into the zip file instead of the Folders contents
Code:
#!/bin/bash
LabNum=(3 5 6)

I'm having trouble trying to make a script. What I want to do is check if xScreenSaver is running in my user account. If not, run it. If it's running, kill it.
So this is the script I've made:
Code:
The problem is that I've echoed the output of $(pgrep -u $(whoami) xscreensaver) and it always seems to add 4 numbers to the pid, even if the pid doesn't exist. What do I mean by "doesn't exist"? That no xscreensaver is running in my user, and if I run pgrep -u $(whoami) xscreensaver in bash, I get not output, but if I run the command though the script, I get (for instance) 4050. If I run it again, I get 4054, and again 4058... etc. What the hell is going on with that?
We have a custom app that runs on boot on some older hardware running DSL linux, and their startup manager was quite simple. We purchased some newer Asus eeebox's which run xandros and things are quite stable and run nice with 1 exception.The application only runs from the root (/) location. This box auto logs in as 'user' and there is a /home/user/.kde/Autostart folder where you can stick scripts to run at boot. So I have a start.sh script, and with little bash programming tried things such as;
sudo cd /
sudo /startapp.pl
but the errors start spewing with the basic;can't find data/xyz as it's looking in the local.I thought there was a basic cwd (change working directory) but everything I try just forces the run from that location.Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated, but things like can you change the code, etc. can't be done, so it must be a programming thing. The only other thought I had but not sure, can you do a cronjob with @boot or something, that when the box starts, it can run this job as root and fire off?
is this a good way of doing it? Shall I use & when starting the new process? Itested in bash and dash.
testbash=$(ps -e | grep $$ | grep bash)
if [ 0 = ${#testbash} ]; then
echo "new process"

I have a bash script that I want to be running on a "clean" screen, but when the script finishes/exits I want to see what was previously on the screen. Any thoughts? The "Clear" command does not enable me to get the information back, and the "Screen" Command runs the program in the original window, so you see nothing until the new screen is exited.

I wanted to run bash and perl scripts which requires SU privileges by clicking on desktop
Terminal window opens and closes fast without knowing what happened.
scripts work on terminal window by telling
sudo perl file.pl
sudo bash file.sh
Perl has this header
#!/usr/bin/env perl
or
#!usr/bin/perl -w
Bash has header
#!/bin/bash
How can I run them with desktop shortcuts with SU privilege so, the terminal will not close after execution? Should not the scripts work without telling perl or bash, since they have the header?
Is running a command in the Alt+F2 prompt possible in a bash script?I need this for a launcher for gnome-shell.For it I have written a little script to check if the process gnome-shell is alive and act accordingly.The script works fine, I just don't know how to write "debugexit" to the Alt+F2 prompt, as that is the only decent way I have found to shut gnome-shell down and going back to gdm desktop smoothly.
