General :: Shell Script Doesn't Think A Directory Is Valid (but It Is)?
Apr 21, 2010I've successfully built a library I'm using on Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (both x86 and x86-64) and now I'm building it on SuSE Linux 9.1 (x86-64). I set the environment variable required for the make script exactly as I set it on the other Linux computers. When I run the make script, I get an error citing that $DEVDIR, which is the root development directory, is not a valid directory. Here's the pertinent part of the script I'm running:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
if test "$DEVDIR" = "" ; then

General :: Shell Script - Use Variable In A For Loop With Directory Path?
Jan 19, 2011I modified files in several directories, and need to run a diff on the backup I created before modifying the file.
I'm trying to compose a simple shell script to speed up the task, but getting a syntax error.
Here is what I have:
for i in DIR1 DIR2 DIR3 DIR4 DIR5 do;
diff /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt.old /maindir/subdir/subdir/$i/filename.txt;
done
I know the paths are valid, and if I run just the diff command with the actual DIR1 instead of $i it works.

General :: Write A Shell Script Which Will Read The Directory Path As Input From User?
Nov 28, 2010I am new to writing shell scripts. So, please bare with me. I am currently trying to write a shell script which will read the directory path as input from user and will traverse the Dir tree to find all available audio and video files. I have tried to write as much as I could but I don't know where I am making mistake as I get some files to be audio file which are actully tar balls. On the second note there are some files which video but script shows them to be audio. And, some video files are completely skipped. I am giving the shell script below so that you can see. I am using two external files as source which I am attaching.

General :: Logging In Non-root Users Fails Either With "no Shell" Or No Directory

General :: Errors Executing Shell Script: "command Not Found" And "no Such File Or Directory"
Jan 14, 2011A colleague gave me a shell script ("dti_motion") which needs to be run from the directory containing all the files it works on. I want to run the same script for several different directories. But I don't want to have to cd into each directory, run the script, wait for it to finish, and then cd to the next directory (there are 52 to do altogether).
So I wanted to write a very simple script that will cd to each directory and perform the script there, before going on to the next one. My colleague's script ("dti_motion") is stored in my home/bin/ and is executable. My home/bin/ is in my path, as verified by echo $path. When run from a directory containing the necessary information, the dti_motion script works perfectly well. I wrote an extremely inelegant script called "dti_motion_do_all" which is also stored in my home/bin/ and executable:
#!/bin/sh
#Get motion information for each subject, using Mark's script, called dti_motion
cd /imaging/cr01/PD_DTI/C_10/12x5
[code]....
I know there will be more elegant ways to write this script with loops, rather than simply using cd, but for the moment, I just want this to run, until I have learnt to use loops properly. how to correct either of those "command not found" or "no such file or directory" errors, given that both the original dti_motion and my dti_motion_do_all script are in my /home/bin/ (which is on my path) and both scripts are executable?

Programming :: Shell Script Searching File In A Directory?
Feb 23, 2011I am trying to search particular directory which has files with extensions like .html,.mp3,.xml etc I have a list of such files What I am doing in my script is

I have around 100+ files name with some particular extension , this code works fine if the directory name does not have any special character in it like " "(white character) .
It is failing to give the output. IF I run the find command on the console the I am getting the correct file name with location
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/config/movie.mp3
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/movie.mp3
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/pop.mp3
/home/user2/public_html/index test/pop.mp3
/home/user2/public_html/index test/web.xml
/home/user2/public_html/song.mp3
If I echo the file name from the script Then output is little missed match when a directory name has special char like " "
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/config/movie.mp3
/home/user1/public_html/mediawiki/movie.mp3

Mar 18, 2010I am facing a problem in Windows due to a virus called Newfolder.exe which creats files with the same name as it's parent directory and an extension .exe and this happens for every directory in the entire hierarchy in the infected pen drive. The antivirus detects them, but is sucking slow. So I thought this is a good opportunity to use the concepts of the all mighty shell script to remove those as they follow the same pattern. Say my complete path is
Code:
/home/pkd/fol1/
The virus would have created an file with complete paths
Quote:
/home/pkd/fol1.exe
If fol1 has two more directories fol11 and fol12 Then there would be two more .exe(virus created) in the following path
Quote:
/home/pkd/fol11/fol11.exe
/home/pkd/fol12/fol12.exe

General :: Find Directory Older Than X And Mv Directory With Sub Files Command?
Jul 13, 2011I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively
