General :: Run A Command Per File From The Output Of "find" Command?

Sep 8, 2010

I want to scan a particular directory recursively and run a particular command with each file as input. For this I am using "find /dir/path". I dont want to write any long script containing loop on the output of "find". I want a single command which will allow me to run a command on each file of the "find" command output.

General :: Use '{}' To Redirect Output Of A Command Run Through Find's -exec Option?

Jan 10, 2011

I am trying to automate an svnadmin dump command for a backup script, and I want to do something like this:

find /var/svn/* ( ! -name dir -prune ) -type d -exec svnadmin dump {} > {}.svn ;

This seems to work, in that it looks through each svn repository in /var/svn, and runs svnadmin dump on it.

However, the second {} in the exec command doesn't get substituted for the name of the directory being processed. It basically just results a single file named {}.svn.

I suspect that this is because the shell interprets > to end the find command, and it tries redirecting stdout from that command to the file named {}.svn.

Programming :: Find Command With Standard Error Output And Mail Error File

Nov 11, 2010

We make everyday a DB Mysql backup on Linux redhat Enterprise. We are using a bash shell script (and putting it in the crontab) to execute it automatically everyday. We added a line to this script telling, once the backup has completed, to find old backup files (stored on hard disk after each backup) older than x days to remove them. We use the find command (search for file type) with the mtime option and in combination with rm command. Everything runs ok but we also want to add some new code to the same line: If find command cannot find anything or fails, for example if it cannot delete file or fails, send the error message (standard error output) to an error file (like error000001 and increasing) and mail the errorxxxx file to an email address for example to admin@companyname.com. What would be the code for this issue to add it to our find command in the same bash shell script??

General :: Redirecting Command Output To File?

Sep 19, 2011

This seems so simple when doing it from command line but I'm not able to accomplish it inside a script. I am trying to put output of following command into a text file:

CMD= mysql -uroot -psecret -e 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS G;'
FIL=~/replication-`date +%F`.txt
MAILTEXT=~/mailtext.txt
touch $FIL
$CMD > $FIL

Where FIL is a variable that contains path of the file to which to output command. I am running this command in a shell script from where I want to email contents of $FIL as attachment using mutt. But I am always getting 0 byte file. Also if I examine in directory the file is of 0 byte length.

General :: Command To Overwrite File With Sed Output?

Jan 5, 2010

For example I want a file to be processed by sed, and then overwrite the file with sed's output. I would try this:
Code:
sed '<regex goes here>' myfile > myfile
But it doesn't work as expected, instead it empties the file (I am thinking that as the first byte comes out of sed, it overwrites the whole file and sed has nothing more to do). How can I make this work?

General :: Shell Command To Find Newest File In Filesystem?

Apr 13, 2010

I'm relatively experienced with UNIX and Linux, but this has me thrown for quite a loop, and it seemed like such a simple question. How would I go about finding the newest file in a file system? I thought something like:

Code:

ls -ltr `find /usr -type f`

would work, but I seem to be exceeding the argument maximum for ls:

ksh: 0403-029 There is not enough memory available now

I thought something involving xargs might work, but I really suck with that command.

1- send "show command;

" > logfile.txt : gives an error extra character after the "

2- logsave logfile.txt 'send "show command;

" ': error invalid command

3- i simply tried to send the output of the whole script to file logsave /home/logfile ./script : seems that logsave work under root only

4- ./script > logfile : the problem with this is that the output of echo or (read "enter your id") command will not be displayed on the screen (actually nothing will be displayed, i have to open the log file to see the output). is there any way to save the log of the "send" ? or to save the log of the complete script without hiding the output on the screen?
