Are there any tools that can be used to create a simple GUI for the bash script files i have created, and the GUI should be able to run on both Solaris and Red Hat systems.
View 4 RepliesIve been using linux for a while but I am just getting into shell scripting, im currently trying to get a simple script for finding and copying files powered by the command:

This works fine from the command line but when put in a script such as:

with the keyboard inputs for $fc1 and $fc2 being *.doc and ~/test respectivly. The only problem i can see is the xargs -ivar "var" part possibly needing $var to be defined?
I have a folder of 2 many files that the old ls just hangs.
I am trying to write some log files such as;
I don't mind doing one at a time, but I am just playing and even getting the listing I am not getting the date stamp, I have the following;
That does create the file, but all the files look like this;
So basically it's just sticking that ls inside the log file and not actually running the ls, so how can I use the above type to get files just created per year?
When I run this command from shell, it runs ok
export REVS=`svn info svn+ssh://svn.myone.ca/var/svn/story/trunk/lib |grep 'Last Changed Rev:'| awk -F: '{print $2}'`
However when I save it into a file called test.sh (of course, I chmod it with +x), I got error "export: 2: bad variable name"
Here is the file:
#!/bin/bash
export REVS=`svn info svn+ssh://svn.myone.ca/var/svn/story/trunk/lib |grep 'Last Changed Rev:'| awk -F: '{print $2}'`

I wrote this script which works but it should run automatically about once per week. I hunted and experimented with KDE Task Scheduler (no dice and no help anywhere) and cron (confusing instructions and cannot edit crontab -e with vim, and cannot enter cron folders/files). I would settle for a desktop shortcut to run the script but found no for that.
Script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
xterm -hold -e fstrim -v /
Machine:
OS: openSUSE 11.4 x86_64

All of a sudden,i can't execute a simple script as follows:

I have written this simple script to delete files and keep a log i have put this script in crond job
The script check the test directory in /home/francis if it encounters a file which is a 30 days old it must delete that file and place the file deleted in mylogs as a log report the script works fine i manually i have two problems:
First when the script ram the first time it generated the log of the files it deleted but the next day when i came it deleted the file but no log was generated
Secondly i run the script every day at 9 am this is the entry made in crond file * 9 * * * ~path to file but it seems to run every minute i even triedseperating the fields by tabs still the same
Syslog is used to store simple log files or we can manage them too? Well, the thing is, that I need to run a software (like syslog) to collect my logs and put them in order and organize them so it makes them "understandable". I have been told that syslog can do the job and that it doesn't need a complex configuration to work.

does anyone know how to calculate an average in a simple way with bash? I've got something like this:
Code:
$ cat results.txt | head -10 | tr " " " " | cut -f13

0.404716908011

and now I want to calculate the average of the resulting numbers. I know I could write a bash or awk or perl script and use that, but isn't there a more simple, elegant way? There is for example "sum" in the coreutils, but no "avg"..

I am running a simple script that I copied from slug.ceca.utc.edu/docs/2009-3-26-linux-server-health.pdf and edited with the names and paths of my own servers. I don't know much about scripting (re: nothing) but I wanted to try and be efficient in my new role as a Linux Sys Admin. The script was saved to root's home directory and runs as part of root's crontab once a week. The script runs with no problem, but it doesn't actually seem to run all of the commands contained within. It skips some in the middle and the end and I don't know why. The script itself is this:
Code:
#!/in/bash
uname -a > /tmp/server.txt

I am not planning on posting this rpm on a repo such as fedora or rpmfusion.

Once this is done I'd like to have everything in an archive called mysite.date.tar.7z I've no experience at all of bash scripting but I guess this should be an easy task? How to make the user and password not visible ? Is there any other option better than wget? (maybe rsync it works better?)
