Programming :: Bash Script For POP3 Logins?
Jun 8, 2011
Recently while upgrading my email environment which was on postfix, POP and IMAP, server was crashed. We had to rebuild the new server and managed to restore everything from database but the during that process somehow users were not able to login using their old password hence we had to reset the password for every user manually. There were arnd 2500 users configured on the system. Now I have been asked not to put the newly built system into the production unless and until all the POP users and passwords are verified.I m thinking to write the bash script by which I can telnet to my POP server and then provide username and password to see the response

For long-term migration from courier to dovecot I would like to install courier-pop and dovecot-pop3d simultaneously. Aptitude offers me to install one, by removing the other, only. Can this be done without creating problems for the package manager and future upgrades? And why if not?
The following NEW packages will be installed:

According to RFC 1939: "POP3 is not intended to provide extensive manipulation operations of mail on the server; normally, mail is downloaded and then deleted." However most of the mail clients have that option "Leave messages on server" after they have been downloaded. How is it done?
I tried sniffing mail traffic with Wireshark, but the only POP3 provider I have is Gmail and its POP3 access is SSL secured, so I was unable to gather any info from this... I tried downloading sources of Thunderbird and Evolution and checked what are they doing with "leaving messages", but it seems my C++ skills are not enough - I was unable to understand what is happening when "leaving"...
Suggest me some POP3 provider, that is providing unsecured POP3 access, so I could try again reverse engineering with Wireshark?

How can I download Mail from Dovecot POP3 Server to new Dovecot POP3 Server of all users and will always run every minute. I've tried fetchmail and getmail but only in one user and need to run fetchmail or getmail to retrieve new emails.

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!

Now in my bash script, I want to get the output /home/user instead of $HOME once read. So far, I have managed to get the $HOME variable but I can't get it to echo the variable. All I get is the output $HOME.
Here is my parse_cmd script:

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 am trying to build a function inside a script.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#System commands and other configurable.
IPT=/sbin/iptables
IP6T=/sbin/ip6tables
IPST=/usr/sbin/ipset
MODP=/sbin/modprobe
GET=/usr/bin/wget
INT_NET=192.168.1.0/24 .....
I can find lots of tutorials in how to use if, then, else. However, how do I define a variable inside the function?

Code:

Also, am I using the 'test' command correctly( -/+ week as valid test)?

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.

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

I understand that $! is the PID of a command. For example:
Code: #!/bin/bash
myprogram &
echo "PID of myprogram is $!"
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:
Code: #!/bin/bash
myprogram | tee ./logfile &
echo "PID of myprogram is $!"
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.
