General :: Running An ASP Page From A Shell Script?
Jun 18, 2011
I am trying to access an aspx page which, when accessed with certain parameters in the URL, downloads a file. I need to do this with a shell script, rather than interactively. I tried using wget, but I get a response of 302 from the server, which redirects me to the default page and then downloads the default page html itself. I quickly tried curl which seemed to be doing the same thing. It works perfectly from browsers on either Linux or Windows. Originally, I had a problem with interpretation of ampersands in the URL, but I put quotation marks around the URL, so that isn't the problem now.
I cannot fix this on the server side, because the aspx page will be accessed on a variety of servers which are probably all set differently and which aren't under our control.
I've been having a bit of trouble running a shell script with cron. A friend of mine does a community radio show and the station has a live stream but no podcasts, so I've set up a script to record the stream and encode it as an mp3 while I'm away using mplayer and lame -that's what I'm trying to do anyway.
Here's the script, but it doesn't seem to run- at least, I don't see any of the files it should be outputing, would they be in the cron.weekly directory (where I have the script) or in my home directory?
#This is a script to record 'The Unnamed Show'
#it will record the show from the live stream, then convert the output #to an MP3
#Finally, it will delete any files no longer required HOME=/home/byron/
I have been playing around with shell scripting, nothing too complex just learning the basics. if i try to run a script as root (by entering "sudo" then the "command") it says command not found. i can only do it ass root if i specify the full path (/home/username/bin/command) im pretty sure the directory that my scripts are in are part of the superusers path.
I know that shell scripts can be used to execute more than one linux command at the same time. But can the same be performed in an e-mail (i.e) whenever i open that specifice-mail, the linux command should execute.
how to write a shell script the searches for processes running on my system. I really don't know where to start. can anyone give me a hand and explain how the script works?
I am new to bash scripting (not programming in general).
I am writing a bash script that will run a Python script I have written.
I want to be able to do the following:
Pass parameters to the bash script via the cronjob (so I can have two cron jobs) one to be run with parameter 'foobar', and the other 'foo' switch based on the parameter passed to the bash script (by switching, I mean an if/else based on the paramter passed to the bash script).
how to list the currently running processes via code a shell script. FYI i now about the top method in the terminal but i need a way to have it via a shell script.
I am running Linux Mint 9..I play xbox live and run it through my laptops wireless network connection so i dont have to pay 100 dollars for the usb wireless adapter for the xbox. In windows 7 this is easy to configure so that when i turn my laptop on and then xbox it automatically connects.
I have a script that executed 100000 C Programs, reads the commands from a file and executes them. There is a requirement to measuer the time that each of this 100K C programs running.If it exceeds 120 sec I want to Kill that Process.Any Idea to embed this in my shell script?
from nmap localhost | grep mysql command i will come to know whether mysql server is running or not.my problem is i want to test whether mysql server is running or not in shell script and if it is running i need to tell the user to stop the server to run the shell script.
Possible Duplicate: Leave bash script running on remote terminal while not logged in? I run a program, say ./a.out 10 from the shell prompt. Assume that there's a while(1) inside the program being run. Now if I try to close the shell, it warns me that it'll kill my running program too! So, how to kill the shell and still let my program continue running in the background?
I tried exec ./a.out 10 but the shell is still there. Another alternative is to simply double click my executable but then how will I pass command line parameters?
Just got back to attempting to play with 10.04 using its Live CD. It consistently goes to the "Log In" page and not the Live CD page on running. I saw a Post specifying a F key to be pressed on boot-up to get to the desired starting point some time ago, but did not write it down. Some advice did say press Any Key but this does not seem to do the job. Tried to use the search function here but no joy. Can anyone remember which F key? Note that as a check, I tried to use 9.10 Live CD and this worked fine, so it is not a machine problem.
I came across this script a while back that i found. What i want to do is edit the script to create a default web page in /var/www/html a new user is added through the script.What the script does now is adds a user and sets a password for the user. What possible way (either through a combination of python or c or some other language) could i add to the shell script to do this? I've tried just dointhe command to touch index.html /var/www/html but it puts it on the desktop. Here's the script....
Code: #!/bin/bash # Script to add a user to Linux system
I have a box that's used as an SFTP server. All users have restricted shell so they can only use SFTP to send and receive files. But it makes it hard to have them change their passwords. I thought that if we had a web page set up where the user could enter their username, old password, new password and confirmed new password, that this would be the easiest solution.
All has been fine with my emails but today morning when i tried to log on I got an error message "You must be logged in to access this page, go to logon page" I dont understand why even when i supply my correct user name and password.
I want to combine 4 ps(or pdf) page to single page and for this i have try a2ps command as:
a2ps -4 1.ps 2.ps 3.ps 4.ps -o outfile.ps

I am struggling with some issues Apache-tomcat is running fine, and port:8080 is also LISTEN but when am tiring to access the tomcat web_page is not up ,why ?
is there some wiki page on GNOME or Fedora that list which graphics cards work without problems on Fedora 15 with GNOME Shell? I have tried 3 older cards and they all failed, so I would like to share this info with others so people know which cards to avoid if they want to use full features of GNOME 3 via GNOME Shell.
I have a shell script that I want to be able to run from the terminal just by typing "topcat", regardless of where I am or what user I'm under. How would I go about changing the bash configuration files (if I have to) in order for that to work, for me and for the other users on the computer (I have root access)? As it stands right now, I have to type "/bin/topcat/./topcat" in order for it to execute
quick guidance on running a bash script using Perl. The script is calledarchive_web.sh.The regular script I have and use now (archive.sh) creates an archive directory (uses the current date as the dir name) and moves all existing files there.The script is cronned to run every day before midnight. I'd like to be able to run this "archiving script"manually, from the web, at my own discretion, rather than necessarily wait till midnight (but want it to run then, too, in case any new files present themselves in the directory).These shell scripts sit in an .htaccessed directory. Talk about making up verbs all over the place.
Im having some difficulties with running a shell script from cron which I am unable to resolve for almost 2 days now.
For testing purposes, im trying this with simple shell script test.sh with chmod 777
This script is located at /var When I type /var/test.sh it runs perfectly and prints asdasdasd When I type /var/test.sh > /home/log it writes asdasdasd to /home/log - works
The problem occurs whenever I add it as a cron job to var/spool/cron/crontab/root
There is: 11 10 * * * /var/test.sh > /home/log - however, at 10:11 there is no file at /home/log
Cron as a service works, forexample, every day at 4 am it makes this backup sshpass -p xxxx rsync -avz -e ssh root@x.x.10.7:/data/backup/ /home/backups/isp_admin
I am using Shell Script to run my Java program. I have written a Cron job to invoke Shell Script every day at 7pm. Cron job is running every day at 7pm ,but it is not invoking my shellscript and also I am not getting any error message. I am able to run same shell script from cmd propmt using bash, and also I am able to invoke the same script from mainframes Universal command job. Same ShellScript and Same cronjob is working fine in my Dev server. But in my QA server it is not working.
