View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to learn shell scripting and came up with a lil first script that I could actually use.I have a basic shell script and all it does is run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
So basically just a shell script that updates your packages. NOW, my question. I made another shell script that makse a bit of a menu and asks what you wanna do, 1 to UPDATE or 2, to CLOSE. How do I make it so when they enter 1 it runs my update.sh ?
The last time I wrote code for anything was about 15 years ago using Turbo Pascal. I would like to get back into it, most likely to create some mobile apps or enhance web sites. What is the best general purpose language to learn? And what is a good method for learning, preferably free?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo for example, I uses VBscript to script out my tasks in Windows, and more recently PowerShell.From a Linux Admin's point of view, what scripting would he/she need to know? Would being proficient in Bash be sufficient or should you supplement that with something else? (if so, what is that something?)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to know which is the best scripting language right now and what you guys think its going to be the best or most used in the future, that is, in about 5-10 years. Take into account system administration and applications. This are the languages i had in mind, add more if you think other scripting languages are better or worth considering.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe have to (re)write a bunch of scripts to download files from remote ftp servers, where we won't know the names beforehand; move the files to an archive folder on the FTP server; copy the files to the correct servers on our LAN; and log the file information in Oracle.Our current scripts are for a windows product called ScriptFTP that provides a nice little language. It does everything except the logging, but we're wanting to get rid of Windows.
I have recently been given the job of maintaining the code, and I'm looking for a good language for simple, robust ftp scripts that will work on Linux. We have some customers with remarkably unreliable FTP servers. If necessary, I can write another program to handle the logging to Oracle. I'm usually a C++ developer, so a similar syntax is a bonus. I also want to be able to hand this over to an entry-level programmer later.
So far, I'm intrigued by PHP, but I've hardly had a chance to look at it for any scripting. I like the idea of being able to loop through the files individually and even be able to skip over anything that looks like it's currently being written (either based on the file name or date/time). I've thought about writing something in C++ that would take a simple config file instead of a full blown script. However, I don't want the maintenance, unless someone writes a quality FTP library that is inexpensive (hopefully free) for commercial use.
Coming from a C and C++ background, with a little SQL at university, I was wanting to move to web development and implement an idea of mine for evaluating movies. In a nutshell, the idea is this: produce a score for each movie by only taking into account opinions of people of your age and psychological profile, as derived from a questionaire. Or a score derived from the opinions they have given about other movies, the more match there is with your opinions about those movies, the higher the coefficient for their opinion in the production of the movie score.What's the easiest way to implement this, what language is the easiest to learn?

Recently I have been asked to maintain a software written in groovy (also to make enhancements). So can I learn groovy without knowing java language. or isit I have to learn java before venturing into groovy.

(i am french and wanted a light netbook with french keyboard)i am totally new to linux and i believe that msi wind is not helping.because i am more used to english for settings, i set the main language to english, but it seems that it automatically reconfigures my keyboard mapping to english as well, so that azerty becomes qwerty.i reset it back to french, so now my keyboard is french, but so is the system.is there a way to differentiate keyboard from main user setting language?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am just starting to learn Linux and am interested in a career in Linux. Actually I wanna go for RHCE, which is the first step for Sys Admin..right?? Basically I do NOT want to go into programming/developing as I don't feel it's my cup of tea (and also may be it sort of boggles me). Still, from what I gather I am having confusions regarding whether I should learn any programming language for a career in Linux.
Here I am avoiding programming..and now I get to hear that Linux career uses programming..That's sort of frustrating...My friend told me I need to "master" C. Do I need to learn some programming language?? If yes, then to how much extent?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat would be a good book/manual to read to learn more about linux o.p. systems? and how to use them.I have to add I may not have such a good internet connection I might end up with free dial up (Bummer)so I'm not sure if a link will do.I will end up at the library anyway. so if you could suggest something that would be good, I'm not really looking for the history but more like how to use, maybe the terminal and such?.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some music in another language, but when I open the songs in Banshee, their song names just come up as weird characters (like μ).I went to [System --> Administration --> Language Support] and installed support for that language, but the songs still come up like μ. (But in Nautilus, their proper names show).
I know the solution is to change my whole system language to that language, but I don't want to do that, as I am not very fluent in it. Is there any way to enable support for that language while keeping English as the language used to display my desktop?
One computer .... three users .... three languages. How do you make that happen? User A speaks English and is happy with English. No problem. User B needs to use Chinese and would like the full system in Chinese. User C needs to use Thai and Chinese. They would prefer their menus to be in Thai and can use iBus for Chinese entry. How do you set up the system so that each user can select their system language when they login?

For example:
Shift+Alt+1 - English
Shift+Alt+2 - Russian
Shift+Alt+3 - Ukrainian
While installing Ubuntu 10.10 I chose the wrong language for my keyboard. I tried to fix this in keyboard preferences and it seemed to work. The correct one I need is USA (and don't know exactly the difference between USA and USA alternative international). But every time I boot my laptop I get the old language back (Dutch) while USA is above the others in my preferences.

View 14 Replies View RelatedThere is a scripting language made for Windows called AutoIt. It can do things like, for example, if a user highlights a word and presses a certain hotkey, it can copy that word into memory, open up firefox, go to google.com, paste the word into the text box, and click the button to search. What are some of the easiest scripting languages in Linux to learn that can do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been playing around with awesome wm, uzbl and doing quite a bit of reading and thinking. Do more programs need scripting support? I've found that being able to tell a program what I want it to do specificially has made life much easier. I'm finding some things (my prefered editors, ed and vim) are starting to seem a little limited since what they can do is fairly well defined and hard to change.
