Creating script that converts hex to dec. But without using bc calculator or other methods that could convert it in one line. I need to make something like this script that converts dec to hex.
View 1 RepliesI would like to know how do I print the line # in a script. My requirement is, I have a script which is about ~5000 lines long. If there are any errors happen I just exit. And I would like to add the line # of the script where the error happened.

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

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!

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?
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.

I am trying to write a bash script that sources another bash script. Essentially, I need a few lines to check to see if a certain variable is set. If not, I set it manually, and then source a scripts with that variable in the path. I wrote a test script to try it, but for some reason the last line does not work. Here is what I wrote:
#!/bin/sh
source ~setupdir/setup.shrc #just a test, this line works
echo ${#SETUP} # prints 0 if setup is not set, which it isn't
if [ ${#SETUP} -eq 0 ]
then
SETUP="~setupdir"
fi
echo $SETUP # prints ~setupdir

i'm in the process of learing C++. currently i'm creating shell scripts to get things done. i'm just curious how, as a programmer using C++ you would get a similar job done.as an example i have a script that takes the contents of files, pipes it to some sed and awk commands, which is piped to create a new file. that file is then imported into a mysql database.if you were going to do this in C++, would you call the sed/awk programs to modify the file, or can it be done within the program itself? i'm probably jumping the gun here because i've just started learing about pointers so this is above my ability

I'm somewhere between Novice and I have no idea what I'm doing with bash scripts. I'm writing a script to deploy images using partimage on my company's desktops, and while I have just about everything else figured out I have one issue left.Each of our 4 sites that will be using this disc will have a deployment server due to the fact that our sites have dedicated point to point links that our business traffic is conducted on. I need to be able to determine what site I'm at based onubnet and set a variable based on this determination. What I don't know is how to get the IP address in to an if statement, and properly determine subnet. For example:
192.168.1.0/16 - 192.168.7.0/16 need to use DEPLSERV01
192.168.8.0/16 - 192.168.16.0/16 use DEPLSERV02
192.168.17.0/16 - 192.168.24.0/16 use DEPLSERV03
I know it's a very silly question but could someone please explain the difference between "/bin/bash" & "/bin/sh" I was under the impression that both are same but following output on my Ubuntu 8.10 is making me raise my eyebrows.

Having a problem with an unwanted redirection in in a function call. Although this isn't the function it does illustrate the problem:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
doat () {
ALL="sys1 sys2"
for Sys in $ALL;do
echo "---> $Sys <---";
echo $(eval echo $1);
[Code]...
figure out how to get the variable into the command without outputting to the file in the eval statement? So that ssh line that gets executed would look like the following to each iteration of the for loop:
Code:
ssh root@$Sys rpm -qa|sort > /trans/${Sys}-rpm-list.txt;
doat works when the incoming argument doesn't have any redirection in the command.
Is it possible to use Gambas as a GUI to read text string variables that are input by a user, and use the variables in a bash command?
I know how to do this simply with bash, but I want a GUI that little kids can easily use.
Just a simple BASH for loop to read the file path from a text file (clean.txt) echo the variable for debug purposes, and scp it to a server I have using port 50 for SSH.
I've already formatted the entries in clean.txt to handle spaces correctly, using sed replacement.
Example from the clean.txt file:
Code:
/MP3/NAS000000001/Barenaked Ladies/Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked For The Holidays/20 Auld Lang Syne.mp3
/MP3/NAS000000001/Barenaked Ladies/Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked For The Holidays/14 Deck the Stills.mp3

View 5 Replies View RelatedI understand that $! is the PID of a command. For example:

I'd like to send the output of "myprogram" to both console and to a log file using the "tee" command but I also want to store the PID of "myprogam". Something like this:

The problem is that $! is now the PID of "tee" rather than the PID of "myprogram".
I have been able to use bash to initiate a google seache via firefox. I would like to either copy the source page to a file via wget or send firefox short cuts to the other terminal's firefox search page to put the html file in a directory. I seem to remember but maybe incorrectly that there exist hexadecimal codes for each keyboard shortcut in firefox. Maybe these could be echo-ed from bash to the firefox search page.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm doing the shell history audit logging using syslog to gather the command history. I'm using this well publicized method using trap and logger:
declare -r REAL_LOGNAME=`/usr/bin/who am i | cut -d" " -f1`
function log2syslog {
declare command
command=`fc -ln -0`
logger -p local1.notice -t bash -i ": $REAL_LOGNAME as $LOGNAME :$command"
}
trap log2syslog DEBUG TERM
The problem is that the trap on DEBUG will catch the next to last command executed (by virtue of the "fc" command) which is not the current command executed. TERM will catch that "next to last" command on exit, thus completing the logging of each command executed during that session.
However, CTL+D doesn't seem to emit a SIGTERM signal. What signal is actually being emitted and can it be trapped? I guess another question would be whether there is a way to trap history after command line execution? Moving to Bash 4.1 isn't possible in our "supported" multi-platform environment
I'm working on a script which handles disaster recovery for a system I'm developing. Part of the script will also be used for initial setup. It needs to require as little user interaction as possible. It also needs to be run as root during most of the process. The problem is that there comes a point where some of the software can't be compiled or installed as root. So root needs to su to a regular user who then has to sudo in order to compile & install the aforementioned software. After all this, the script needs to revert to it's original state, running as root. I've never encountered a situation where root had to su to a normal user in order to sudo as root.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a bash script that I want to import in to Python, mainly just to see if I can or not. However in the script I do use some piping of commands into sed to trim it down to what I need. When I tried doing it with the os.system() call, it didn't work. The exact error is
sed: -e expression #1, char 16: unterminated `s' command
However the command that was run can be run in bash without an error. Is there a better/another way to do this? For reference the command is:
Code:
locate -n 1 wp-config.php | sed 's/wp-config.php/
/g' | sed '/wp-config.php/ d' | sed '/^$/ d'
In a bash-script, only the case if a regular expression does not match is relevant.herefore I used the exclamation mark !. But where to place it?
These two work fine, but are they equivalent?
Code: if ! [[ $abc =~ $pattern ]]; then or
Code: if [[ ! $abc =~ $pattern ]]; then Where is the ! placed more correct?
