I want to read the values of each field i.e., month and year into an awk script.
ITT and am just lurning about scripting and need to read a file and output the file to the screen. We need to do this with a while loop.

2224 23943843
5494 39843843
8372 48938384
I have to loop through this file and copy the files with the first field to a new name that contains both the first and second field. To be more specific, file quote2224.pdf has to be copied to 23943843_quote2224.pdf file quote5494.pdf has to be copied to 39843843_quote5494.pdf I don't know how or if it's even possible to use a for loop and access both fields. I don't know how to copy files in awk.
I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.
For example:
Code:
Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).
I multi-boot several Linux distributions with an assortment of additional data partitions. I get frustrated whenever fsck is forced during boot. (It ONLY happens when I'm in a hurry don't you know...) So I wrote a script to automate forced fscking when I do have the time. (And/or while I'm doing something else in another workspace.
Because I multi-boot, I've learned that udev doesn't always assign the same device name to each drive for all distributions. I've had the same partition identified as hda5, sda5, & sdb5 by different distributions (without doing anything to affect the boot order) So my solution is to keep a list of partitions in a specific file on each distro with valid device names according to that distribution's udev process. Actually I'd use LABEL= instead but the labels don't show up in /etc/mtab, and I like to make sure a partition isn't mounted before I try to fsck it.
I can make this work in a for loop using cat. But I've seen so many things about NOT using cat that I wanted to rebuild my script. I can make this work with a redirect instead of cat via a while loop, But I "LIKE" old style for loops. But I can't seem to find a way to make a redirect work with one. I thought this might make a good first �LinuxQuestions.org� question. I'm also open to any other suggestions on better/alternative methods... Is it possible to redirect from a file into an actual for loop?
My script is as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# FsckEm I script to force file system checking on unmounted ext2/ext3/ext4
# partitions in preselected list. FsckEm accepts no options. Partition

When I add the line (sleep 5 ) & in the script then the "while read" loop does not read all lines from the file, but only prints the first line.But when I remove the ( sleep 5 ) & from the script, then the script prints all lines as defined in the file.And how to solve the problem? I want to create a new process (for which the sleep is just an example) in the while loop:
$ more test
#!/bin/ksh
while read -r line ; do

I am trying to read the names of hosts from a file and do a ssh to see if processes are all running or not.
Here is the outer loop that is causing problem:
hosts.lst is a text file that has the host names in each line.
The problem is that the loop just breaks after the first run. Somehow while read line becomes invalid when the body of the loop does the ssh and returns.
I'm trying to prompt the user to enter Y or N in the middle of a while loop, but the read command is simply drawing in the next value.I'm reading from a simple file full of words (one per line)

I want to loop through the records in the below file (homedir.temp)
/home/user1
/home/user2
/home/user3
I want to do the following activities with each record1. du -s - to get the total usage for that directory (my variable name is SIZE)2. divide SIZE by du -c for /home to get the percentage of usage. (my variable name is PER)3. write the directory, SIZE, PER to a filePROBLEMI am using the below for loop: for record in homedir.tempthe mentioned activitiesdonehe above is not looping through the records. It does the first record perfectly and exits the loop.

I have deleted the first ~110,000 lines and :x (save and exit). OMG: this operation takes more than 3 days. I think it hangs already, so I terminated it. So my question is, can VIM do this???

I am trying to store the results of my code to a separate text file.But the problem is, as my results comes from a loop, my text file shows only the last result, not all of them.Like if the loop runs 5 time the text file shows the result for the 5th step.But i need to store all of them (1 to 5).Can I use awk to print the output field and store to another file and creat a new line so that the next output field goes to a new line?(just an idea, dont know).
#!/bin/basth
for (( i=1; i<=5; i++))
do

I have bash 4.0. I used the following for loop example, but all it outputs is "{1..10} instead of the actual numbers one through ten. why?
Code:

echo -n "$a "
done
I have a server hosting 100+ websites. I need to quickly identify which websites are configured with a database. There are way too many to manually check every website for a PHP file with a database name. So, I created a list of all databases from MySQL and put them in a text file. I then exported the text file to a shell variable and used it in a for loop.
bash variable
Code:
DBLIST=`cat dblist.txt`
Example of $DBLIST
Code:
db1 db_testing2 database_clientname production words4cheap
for loop
Code:
for db in $DBLIST; do find . -type "f" -iname "*.php" -exec grep -i $db '{}' ; -print; done
Note: my find statement starts searching at . which is the directory that contains all of my websites and their data, each website is setup in a sub directory, identified by it's domain name.
Example: I'm in /var/www. Beneath /var/www are a list of directories:

However, this is taking too long (it's been running most of the day) and I was wondering if there wasn't an easier way to accomplish what I'm trying to achieve?

I am trying to do some shell programs. I tried some sites regarding the while loop, they give the structure as:
Code:
while [ n1 -lt 500 ]
do
echo $((n1+100))
done
But the below code also worked for me:
Code:
while ((n1 > 500))
do
echo $((n1+100))
done
By using (( )) I could use while, for. But the documentations didnt follow this way. I mainly use this for datastructure programming.

I didn't search for a Microsoft alternative that maybe could run with WINE, because I really prefer a native one; also a java version will be fine.
While I was trying to compile a C shared object library, I accidentally created two symbolic links which point to each other. Is there a way to get rid of them without nuking the whole directory? I read that the only way to break a symbolic link is to delete the file it points to, but I'm sure there must be another way.
