General :: Exit Bash Script - Add - Del - Edit User From Certain File Using Different CASE Variables

Mar 6, 2010

I have made a simple bash script through which i can add, del, edit user from certain file using different CASE variables. like
case
1. adduser
2. del user
3. edit user

Now i want to add a exit CASE like
1. adduser
2. del user
3. edit user
4. exit

Now i want to make a script such a way that, if user input is 4 then only script quit. I used with exit function also but it didn't work. if user press ENTER or other keys then also it quit the program.

I have a file called outside_temp that has a single number, say, 63.2

Ubuntu :: Bash Script With Variables And Editing Variables

Apr 6, 2011

mkvmerge -o <filename without extension>_TV.mkv -S <filename> && mkvextract tracks <filename> 3:<filename without extension>.*** && perl /home/brian/Desktop/ass2srt.pl <filename without extension>.*** && rm <filename without extension>.***

Doing these commands for multiple command line file inputs is the goal. So I can just type ./script.sh *.mkv in my terminal.This is what I have so far, but it doesn't work whatsoever.

General :: Case Statements In Bash Scripts

Sep 4, 2010

while learning to write bash scripts, i decided to write some script that, given an integer as input, will tell you the square root of that integer (provided the integer in question is a perfect square). i have already done on using primarily if statements and a while loop. i decided that using a case statement would be a lot simpler and i would be able to make the script more functional. here is what i have so far

[Code]....

i have tried all posible combos of using -ge or >= but i get pretty much the same thing.
the idea is, for now, if the input is greater than or equal to 0 that it will echo test. can you do this sort of thing with case statements? or will it only work if i give it specific values like [1-9] (if this is the case then i dont think the case statement will work for what i want to do)

General :: Declare Global Variables In Bash?

Jan 23, 2010

I have a problem with a very big script I wrote in bash, and now I need to modulirize it in at least four smaller scripts. The problem is, that most of the variables I have will need to be shared by all scripts.

My question is: is there a way to declare global variables in bash? So that I can use and change them in any of the scripts and every change in the variable can be "seen" by the other scripts later.

General :: Sourcing Variables From ~/.bash.rc And Keeping Them Across Logouts

Sep 7, 2011

I've been writing a bunch of bash scripts to make possible non-interactive, secure, cron-based SVN checkouts with CollabNet's SVN client and GNOME Keyring Daemon (aka GKD) and one of the scripts was designed to start GKD, harvest its output, essentially a couple of environment variables, and export those variables in shell of a user the script is run as. All upon user login by sourcing a bash script in ~/.bashrc.The problem is that those environment variables will not be exported, because the script is being run in a sub-shell that exits upon it completion and environment variables get unset for good.Well, the question is how can those variables be set permanently, meaning they're exported and kept untouched even across login-logout sessions?

General :: Which Environment Variables Not Inherited By Bash Shells

Jan 2, 2011

I am using Linux some years, but since I built a LFS, I feel noobish again. Now with the help of BLFS I am setting up my environment and somewhere I incidentally read, that not every variable is inherited by a child Bash shell. As for the $PS1 and $PS2 variables I know, that they are not inherited by non-interactive Bash shells (and there is no reason why they should in my opinion). Well, as for my first thread I hope the title gives enough information on what I want to know. But anyways: Which environment variables are not inherited by Bash shells?

Software :: Vim Plugin - Edit A File As A Normal User - Commands Won't Work

May 4, 2011

I was looking at some Vim plugins, and I installed one called Abolish. The page from where I got it [URL] only says:

install details
Extract in ~/.vim or ~vimfiles

So I extracted it in ~/.vim. Now, the issue is that, if I edit a file as root, I am able to use the commands; however, when I edit a file as a normal user, these commands won't work. So... could this be a permissions issue? Or should I copy the plugin in some other directory, maybe?
