Programming :: Running Bash Script In New Screen?

Feb 16, 2011

I have a bash script that I want to be running on a "clean" screen, but when the script finishes/exits I want to see what was previously on the screen. Any thoughts? The "Clear" command does not enable me to get the information back, and the "Screen" Command runs the program in the original window, so you see nothing until the new screen is exited.

Programming :: BASH - Can't Check If XScreenSaver Is Running

Feb 26, 2011

I'm having trouble trying to make a script. What I want to do is check if xScreenSaver is running in my user account. If not, run it. If it's running, kill it.

So this is the script I've made:

Code:

The problem is that I've echoed the output of $(pgrep -u $(whoami) xscreensaver) and it always seems to add 4 numbers to the pid, even if the pid doesn't exist. What do I mean by "doesn't exist"? That no xscreensaver is running in my user, and if I run pgrep -u $(whoami) xscreensaver in bash, I get not output, but if I run the command though the script, I get (for instance) 4050. If I run it again, I get 4054, and again 4058... etc. What the hell is going on with that?

Programming :: Change Running Path In Bash

Feb 5, 2010

We have a custom app that runs on boot on some older hardware running DSL linux, and their startup manager was quite simple. We purchased some newer Asus eeebox's which run xandros and things are quite stable and run nice with 1 exception.The application only runs from the root (/) location. This box auto logs in as 'user' and there is a /home/user/.kde/Autostart folder where you can stick scripts to run at boot. So I have a start.sh script, and with little bash programming tried things such as;
sudo cd /
sudo /startapp.pl

but the errors start spewing with the basic;can't find data/xyz as it's looking in the local.I thought there was a basic cwd (change working directory) but everything I try just forces the run from that location.Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated, but things like can you change the code, etc. can't be done, so it must be a programming thing. The only other thought I had but not sure, can you do a cronjob with @boot or something, that when the box starts, it can run this job as root and fire off?

Programming :: Simple Bash Script Is Not Running All Of The Commands?

Jun 14, 2010

I am running a simple script that I copied from slug.ceca.utc.edu/docs/2009-3-26-linux-server-health.pdf and edited with the names and paths of my own servers. I don't know much about scripting (re: nothing) but I wanted to try and be efficient in my new role as a Linux Sys Admin. The script was saved to root's home directory and runs as part of root's crontab once a week. The script runs with no problem, but it doesn't actually seem to run all of the commands contained within. It skips some in the middle and the end and I don't know why. The script itself is this:

Code:
#!/in/bash
uname -a > /tmp/server.txt

Programming :: Catch User Input While The Bash Script Is Running?

Oct 30, 2010

How do you catch user input while the script is running? Or, how would you make two scripts run at the same time, but use input from one script to the other? The program I'm trying to make, echos text on the screen continuously, but while thats happening, I want the user to be able to input something, so the program can detect the input and display something else. So I thought maybe I could make two scripts run to do each task.

Programming :: Keep The Bash-script Running If "exec Command" Fails

Aug 13, 2010

Is there a way to use exec, but if exec fails to go on with the script?

Example:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec startx
echo "Starting of X failed"

If startx fails, the echo will be seen on the screen. I tried all kind of stuff, but guess it ain't of much use to post it here. I searched the web, but searching for "exec and bash" in one sentence does give results which are not what i am looking for.

Programming :: Running More Than One Script In A Bash Script And Piping Results To SSH?

Jun 8, 2010

how to set the subject of this up.. but here is what I am trying to accomplish (please keep in mine, this is only my first month playing with ANY Linux programming): My shared web host limits running 2 CRONS or 2 SSH sessions at one time. I need to run more than that.. So, my solution is to run what I need on my home computer, and then push all the results via SSH to my web server.

To keep things timed, I am trying to call 4 bash scripts from inside of 1 bash script... Each bash script has variables I need to export out to the remote (web) server. Being that I can only run 2 SSH or 2 CRON sessions on the remote, it wouldn't do me any good to open up CRON or SSH remotely or locally - either way I'm maxing out. That is why I would like to call 1 final script that takes the output of the 4 bash scripts and does the job.

Main bash calls via CRON every 30 minutes:

Code: ./script_1 &
./script_2 &
./script_3 &
./script_4 &

[code]....

I need to scp the file saved by wget to the remote server. I also need to pass the SQL statement generated in each script as a command in SSH. I'm lost how to get the info from "script_x" into a string that can be used to SSH - and doing this all inside of ONE SSH command. Would I store the SQL strings in a file and call that in the SSH command line?

If so, what is the command to make sure the variable output in the "script_#" file is sent to a file? Can I call the variable from the main Bash Script? Now - the good news is, I can SSH from my local machine to the remote one.That is about as far as I got.Again - I am so new to this that my ears are still wet. This has been something I have been working on for a while, and I'm just lost at this point.

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.

Programming :: Cron And Fsarchiver Reportedly Running Not Actually Running?

Jun 1, 2010

My root Vixie cron crontab is set to perform a system snapshot via fsarchiver: 0 0 * * * fsarchiver savefs -o -A /backups/p30_root.fsa /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 The command itself works fine, generating about a 7G snapshot of my Suse server. I then wish to rsync this to a NAS I have located in another building: 0 3 * * * rsync -av -e ssh --delete /backups/ root{at address}:/DataVolume/os_backups/

(yes, I'm rsyncing as root. I absolutely loathe it, but I got thrown into an quasi-SA position with a ridiculous to-do list and no time to do it. I'm having to make things just work and then go back and try to improve them/learn how. I couldn't make it work in a non-root way quick enough, so for now I'm having to cron rsync jobs as root because of all the differing file permissions on this samba/MySql server. I set the NAS to only accepts ssh from the server IP, and we're behind a campus firewall... It's serious trial by fire.) The crontab also has rsync commands for the samba areas, our specialized chemistry software and affiliated MySQL databases............

Ubuntu :: Bash: Determine If Running In Terminal?

Jul 10, 2010

I'm writing a bash script to move files around based on various bits of metadata. For a few reasons, this script will be run regularly both from the terminal, and from the nautilus-scripts folder ("graphically", if you will). What I'm stumped on is having the script defer outputs based on which mode the script is running in. For example, how can I have the script know whether to echo error statements, or pump them out to zenity based on the method of invocation?

Ubuntu :: Bash For Programs Running In Terminal?

Aug 9, 2011

Trying to write a script for desktop launchers that are adaptable to screen resolution. Ideally, the program should:

1. Determine screen resolution:

if "a" use xdotool options window size 1305 x 869 px and move to 135,0
if "b" use xdotool options window size 1545 x 1019 px and move to 135,0

2. Check if program running:

if no, open program, and use "a" or "b" placement options, focus window
if yes, focus window

3. Close script and leave program open (if possible).

Problems arise when trying to use the script on programs that run from and hog the terminal
(e.g. brasero, gcalctool, nautilus)

Here the script will load the program, and nothing else (probably because it still occupies the terminal as it runs)

Code:

gcalctool && xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0

This next command will cause the program to load, move, but it keeps focusing itself like xdotool is running the windowmove function constantly - it keeps focusing itself until script stopped.

Code:

gcalctool & xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0

This had the same effect as the above code, but seems to work as a conditional subscript running when the process is running in the terminal - it just goes infinitely.

Code:

while [1] ; do xdotool search "calculator" windowmove 135 0 done exit

Is there some kind of "if, then" or "while, do" or some kind of conditional I can put in to the script ensure the window is moved only once if the program is running within the terminal? Is there a way to remove the program from the terminal from the script once it's been called?
