Programming :: Using File1 As List Of Objects To Search For In File2?

Aug 30, 2010

The goal is to auto-update a webpage that contains links to network devices. These devices are all set to DHCP, and their hostnames are not guaranteed to stay the same, so static IPs or accessing via hostname is NOT an option.

Process: Run a script every hour or so to query devices on the local network to generate a list of responding devices by MAC address and what their current IP is (results.lst). Using a "static" MAC address list file "printers.db" as the database search "results.lst" to find specific MAC addresses. When a match is found, grab the IP from "results.lst" and update "index.html" with the new IP address. No comparison needs to be done between "results.lst" IP and "index.html" IP as I just want to overwrite whatever is there.

Here is what I have so far (using dummy data): PRINTERS.DBProduct Mac Address Printer1 00:00:00:00:00:11 Printer2 00:00:00:00:11:11 Printer3 00:00:00:11:11:11 Printer4 00:00:11:11:11:11 Printer5 00:11:11:11:11:11 Printer6 11:11:11:11:11:11 TEST.SH

Programming :: Shell Script - Appending File1 To End Of File2

Jun 21, 2010

I'm working on some code where I have two files. I know I can use cat file1 >> file2 to append file1 to the end of file2. What I was wondering is how I could append the first line of file 1 to the end of the first line of file2, then the second line, and so forth.

So if file1 was :
cat
dog
mouse

file2:
orange
red
blue

I want file2 to be:
orange cat
red dog
blue mouse

Also I need it to remove any duplicates from the same horizontal line.

Programming :: Copy And Replacing Specific Line From File1 To File2 Line By Line

Mar 22, 2011

I have two files, file1.traj and file2.traj. Both these files contain identical data and the data are arranged in same format in them. The first line of both files is a comment.

At line 7843 of both files there is a cartesian coordinate X, Y and Z ( three digits ). And at line 15685 there is another three digits. The number of lines in between two cartesian coordinates are 7841. And there are few hundreds of thousands of lines in a file.

What I need to do is copy the X Y Z coordinate (three digits) from file1.traj at line 7843 and paste into file2.traj at the same line number as in file1.traj. The next line will be 15685 from file1.traj and replace at line 15685 at file2.traj. And I dont want other lines (data) in file2.traj get altered. This sequence shall be going on until the end of the file. Means copy and substitude the selected lines from file1.traj into file2.traj.

I tried to use paste command but I cant do for specified line alone.

Here i showed the data format in the file. I used the line number for clarity purpose.

Programming :: Bash - Statement To Check If A File Exists Or Not?

Oct 6, 2010

This script that I found online does the job it promises. it does convert the files to mp3 without an issue. What I need to include now is an if statement that says If $file.mp3 exists then delete $file.wav

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# name of this script: wav2mp3.sh
# wav to mp3
# Credit to the script creator (Nikesh Jauhari):

General :: CentOS 5.4 - Bash Script Exits SU Or SSH Session

Apr 23, 2010

I am using CentOS 5.4. I created a bash script that does some checking before running any commands. If the check fails, it will simply exit 0. The problem I am having is that on our server, the script will exit the su or ssh session when the exit 0 is called.

#!/bin/bash
# check if directory has contents and exit if none
if [ -z "`ls /ebs_raid/import/*.txt 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
echo "ok"
exit 0
fi

Here is the output:
[root@ip-10-251-86-31 ebs_raid]# . test.sh
ok
[russ@ip-10-251-86-31 ebs_raid]$

I was removed from my sudo session, if I wasn't in the sudo session, it would have logged me out of my ssh session. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here or where to start.

Ubuntu Servers :: Prevent A BASH Script From Being Called To Run Again Until It Exits

Sep 1, 2011

I'm planning on writing a BASH script for my website's server that will process data from user input via HTML forms, and then write data to the website's HTML documents. My question regards how to deal with the possibility that two users send form information very close to the same time, thus having the BASH script being called again while the first instance of the script has not yet finished.

I don't even know what happens in general when a BASH script is called while it is still running. Even if that is ok, and a new, separate script process is started (or whatever really happens), how am I supposed to prevent issues that could come from two different instances of the script trying to write to the same file at the same time? Is there a way to force the BASH script to finish its work before launching again, in the event of multiple requests?

Programming :: Find And Replace Script In Bash?

Sep 28, 2010

Im looking for assistance to create a script to find and replace files.Probably best if I give you the background Our server uses a specific application which stores user data, each user data account (a folder on the server) has a file called 'Profile.xml' this file gets updated and replaced about every 30 mins similar to the fashion logrotate works i.e. Profile.xml.1 Profile.xml.2 -> .10

What we experience is that if the application crashes unexpectedly while it is doing its user profile refresh task we end up with sometimes a few hundred Profile.xml files which end up 0kb(should be around 4kb) , and our server see's these as corrupted profiles and will not see them. Our fix is to go back thru and rename the Profile.xml.1 to be Profile.xml (or sometimes up to Profile.xml.5 to Profile.xml) We want a script we can manually run to automate this process The server tree is

/mnt/array1/username/db/Profile.xml
/mnt/array2/username/db/Profile.xml
etc
etc

What we have so far is a script which finds the affected files

find /mnt/ -maxdepth 4 -name Profile.xml -size -1k

This will display a list of affected profiles, and we can append it to a text file with >>output.txt on the end.

if 'pattern' in 'location' equals '0kb' then 'cp' Profile.xml.1 Profile.xml

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.

Programming :: Bash Script To Find Newest Files And Count Them?

Feb 25, 2010

I'm working on a bash script that will go through a directory, find the sub-directories that have been created since the last time the script ran, count the results, and output that integer (will most likely be '1' or less per each instance run) to a file. Give the circumstances, my previous (and very limited) experience with bash is not sufficient for me to pull this off. since it probably has bearing, is that my mail server stores files that it flags as viruses in a folder. It creates a sub-directory for each virus that it quarantines .I want to count those subdirectories and graph them with MRTG. Hence the script. I'm going to post what I've got so far and the purpose of it, because I'm told I have a very odd and efficient way of doing scripting.

[Code]...

But then it dawned on me that it wouldn't work because I would have to not count the directories that have already been counted and count the ones that have not been counted. Given that the purpose of this is to generate a graph about every 5 minutes, using find won't work because, to my knowledge, that will only find things based on whole day values, I need it almost down to the minute.

Programming :: Find A Substring/member In A String/array Using Bash?

This may be a basic bash array/string operation related question, but I couldn't find any direct answer. So here it goes:I have a lot of data sorted in various directories. All directories need same processing except for a special group of directories. I have a symbolic link of the script in discussion in each directory. I want the script to get the name of the current directory, check if that belongs to special group and do specific operations.So I get the name of the directory

Code:

Programming :: Bash - Recursive Find - Create Parent Folder - Moving File

Dec 5, 2010

I'm starting bash shell script and I'm looping without any solution.

I'm trying to find some files under a folder hierarchy and in case of errors moving these files to a destination folder under the same hierarchy recreating this hierarchy if not exists.

Finding all ._* files under /src and moving them to /dest recreating folder1 or the others which contains ._* files but without moving files which does not correspond to the pattern.

Code:

I tried find command and I'am getting all needed files

Code:

But I don't know how to use the output to get the parent folder of files which are found to

1- create folder with mkdir -p /dest/folder1 or /dest/folder1/folder4

2- move found files from /src/... to /dest/... with rm command

I'm working on a find command as this trying to do all in the same line but ... little lost

Programming :: Find And Replace A String In A File Using Perl Command From Bash Script?

Feb 14, 2011

I wanted to find and replace a string from a perl file. I have written a script in bash which runs the following command.

perl -pi -e "s/$findstring/$replacestring/" testfile
where as $findstring = print F_WC_TMP"$line
";
and $replaceString = $line = join ' ', split ' ', $line; print F_WC_TMP"$line
";

But when I am running the above command, i think it is replacing the $findstring with the above mentioned string and hence it contains a $line, it is looking for the variable $line and not finding the exact string. I am confused about how to search for a string that contains $ in it and replace it with another $string.

Ubuntu :: Directory Exists But Bash Says It Doesn't - No Such File Or Directory

Programming :: Check That The Same File Exists Within Two Different Directories Using A Filename As A Variable?

Apr 30, 2010

I am in need of a way to check that the same file exists within two different directories using a filename as a variable. Here is the process which requires it: The script is reaches out (via ftp) and pulls down a file(s) and delete it afterwards. This is halfhazard because in the instance it doesnt pull down the file, yet still deletes it, we are up a creek. I am looking to pull it down to a temp location and then verify that file exists in the location in which it needs to be present to process before deleting it, adding a little extra layer for security. The script itself is finished.If I put a file name in manually it works perfect. I just need a way to pump the filename into the variable.
