Programming :: Bash SMB Script Error Handling

Jun 1, 2011

I have a script that connects to a windows server, downloads a file, appends to it and then re-uploads the updated file. I want to implement error handling. An email is to be generated indicating whether there was an error or not. This email should include all standard and error output as a body. The current script looks something like this:

Code:
function Email_ServerSupport {
for time in once; do
echo "Subject: Billing - smb copy to accounting" $1
cat /tmp/smbx
cat /tmp/smbxerr
done | mail $EMAILADDR
}

/usr/bin/cp /dev/null /tmp/smbx
/usr/bin/cp /dev/null /tmp/smbxerr
cd /tmp
/usr/sfw/bin/smbclient $LOCATION -A $AUTHFILE >>/tmp/smbx <<EOF
get $OUTFILE
exit
EOF
cat $INFILE >> $OUTFILE
/usr/sfw/bin/smbxclient $LOCATION -A $AUTHFILE >>/tmp/smbx <<EOF
put $OUTFILE

cat /tmp/smbx | grep -v "Domain" | grep -v "putting file" | grep -v "getting file" >> /tmp/smbxerr
if [ -s /tmp/smbxerr ]; then
Email_ServerSupport " ERROR"
exit
else
echo "Transfer successful."
Email_ServerSupport " SUCCESS"
fi

The reason for the grep -v's is because, from my understanding, when using smbclient, ALL output goes to stdout, even errors. For this reason, I need to filter out lines including "domain" "putting file" or "getting file", all of which aren't errors. The problem is that even though the script seems to catch errors successfully now and then, the success email ends up blank (/tmp/smbx is somehow empty). I'm also worried it could miss possible errors I haven't tested. I'm thinking it has to do with the way "EOF" functions. Is there any way to capture output from the "put" and "get" commands? I can't simply redirect the output, can I?

Programming :: Try/except Error Handling In Bash?

Programming :: `find . -exec' Handling Backticks In Bash

May 15, 2011

i had a problem with the find command in bash (which i deem is close enough to a promming language, if not please move this thread :P). i tried to reduce the command to the problem. i want the backticks, or $() for that matter; to be evaluated by -exec of find, not by bash. is that a caveat of find?

Code:

$ find testd -exec echo `basename {}` ; #confused me
test
test/a
test/b

[code]...

edit: i found out whats causing this. `basename {}` gets evaluated by bash before find is invoked, returns {} and `find . -exec echo {} ;" is run. now my question is, how to escape this eveluation from happening before.

General :: Handling Wordbreaks In Bash Completion?

Feb 16, 2010

I am writing completion function for one PHP framework called symfony. It has command line interface with syntax:

Code:

symfony [options] [namespace:]action

I want to make action be autocompletable. The function is simplest so far:

Code:

function _symfony_commands()
{
[ -r "cache/completion/.sf" ] && cat cache/completion/.sf
}

[code]....

But, if there is : symbol which separate namespace from action problems coming:

symfony doct[TAB]
will be completed to
symfony doctrine:

But nothing happens if you want complete after : symbol. I've found out that for readline there is three words because it splits line with $COMP_WORDBREAKS

Code:

$ echo $COMP_WORDBREAKS
"'><=;|&(:

I played with $COMP_WORDS array and tried every thought I had to make it work, but failed.
What I should do to escape colon and make readline consider it as one word? Or there is way perhaps to workaround it?

Programming :: Signal Handling In Pthread?

Mar 12, 2011

I have created a pthread, and installed a signal handler inside that, same way as we do in main( ) function. The thread's signal handler is a separate function. Surprisingly, it is not working, that is the thread's signal handler is not able to catch signals. Here is the code:

Code: #include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>

Programming :: Ways Of Handling The ADT Interface?

Nov 30, 2010

During my read, "Code Complete",the author described the different ways of handling the ADT interface.He has wrote this passage:

Quote:

Option 2: Explicitly provide the data used by the ADT services. In this approach, you declare the data that the ADT uses within each routine that uses an ADT service. In other words, you create a Font data type that you pass to each of the ADT service routines. You must design the ADT service routines so that they use the Font data that's passed to them each time they're called. The client code doesn't need a font ID if you use this approach because it keeps track of the font data itself. (Even though the data is available directly from the Font data type, you should access it only with the ADT service routines.This is called keeping the structure "closed.") The advantage of this approach is that the ADT service routines don't have to look up font information based on a font ID. The disadvantage is that it exposes font data to the rest of the program, which increases the likelihood that client code will make use of the
ADT's implementation details that should have remained hidden within the ADT.

The problem is that it is a bit subtle in terms of coding for me. Can anybody give more concrete example, in working codes, especially in Java?

Programming :: Libxml++ Enable Exception Handling

Oct 26, 2010

To parse several XML documents I'm using libxml++. I do programming for linux angstrom-armv5te. Because compiling libxml++ for this distribution and platform was impossible, I simply included the library to my project, which workes fine. Unfortunately I'm not able not use the exception handing which effects that a simple error inside a documents makes my whole program crash. This should not happen.

Is there a way to check the documents validity before parsing or better active the exception handling for doing this.

Ubuntu :: Mutt Not Handling Mailto: URLs / Getting Error?

Dec 10, 2010

Ubuntu Lucid amd64, mutt-1.5.20-7ubuntu1

I'm pretty sure the following used to work:

Code:
$ mutt mailto:url?subject="Whoop dee doo"
Now mutt exits silently with status=1. Tried setting EDITOR/VISUAL, no difference.

Edit: I had tempdir pointed at a non-existent directory in my .muttrc. Still annoying that there was no error message, but at least things are working again.

Programming :: Bash Ctrl+c Tarp And Bash Read With Timeout?

Jan 24, 2010

simple bash code:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
trap "echo 'you got me'" SIGINT SIGTERM # to trap ctrl+c
echo "Press ctrl+c during 5 sec loop"
for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do

[Code]...

How come code behaves normally and stops when ctrl+c signal is caught and resumes, but after I use at least one timeout read in the code it looks like, if signal is caught again it doesn't pause the execution but skips the loop. If you remove -t (timeout) option from the read, both loops look the same!

Programming :: Run Multiple Bash And Php Scripts From A Bash Script?

Jul 25, 2011

I have written quite a few separate bash & scripts and php scripts that up to now I have run from cron jobs. However I have to estimate how long each takes to run, before running the next and so it probably takes much longer than necessary to run them all. They have to run in order.

Now there are so many I am thinking it would be better to have a master bash script that would run one after the other, but I am not sure how to get the master script to wait before starting to run the next script. Is this possible and is there a command that will make the script wait between bash and php scripts , for them to finish, before running the next?

Programming :: Bash: Get Filename And Extension Using Bash?

Jan 9, 2010

I would like to get the filename (without extension) and the extension separately. The best solution I found so far is:

Let FILE="thefilenameofsomefilesfor_instance.txt"

Code:

NAME=`echo "$FILE" | cut -d'.' -f1`
EXTENSION=`echo "$FILE" | cut -d'.' -f2`

I think it would be better to count the len and remove 3 chars to right to get the extension, but it can be macintosh filenames with have 4 chars for extensions.
