Programming :: Scripting/programming Challenge Mac/PC Interoperability?

Jul 27, 2011

some basic programming/scripting/etc. ability but I am not able to do what I now need to do. I would like to have a link on a website that when a user clicked on that link, one script or another would execute based on what operating system that person is using. To wit: If a Mac User clicked on it, it would run a terminal script and would set up a served printer for him; if a PC user clicked on it, it would run a script to set up the served printer on his machine, you get the drift. The printer is being served on a Windows Server 2003 machine, the users are NOT domain users, the print server is also hosting the files, scripts, webpage.

Programming :: Bash Scripting To Programming?

Jul 13, 2011

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

Programming :: Bash Scripting: How To Keep Leading 0 On ' And '

Jan 27, 2010

I'm trying to put together a script that will quickly run through an archive directory of log files that are named by day of the month 01.gz, 02.gz, 03.gz.... 31.gz. The script uses gunzip -c | grep | wc to count up the total number of hourly occurrences of a filename and outputs the results to stdout.

The only snag I have left is the octal limit when it gets to 08 and 09. I've seen examples using perl and awk, but this script uses a number of nested for loops and if statements that I don't want to have to rewrite in a different syntax. I found that I can use num=10#08 to set that variable to a base 10 instead of a base 8, but then I lose the leading 0 again when it passes the number to the next filename variable.

Programming :: Good FTP Scripting Language

Jul 28, 2009

We have to (re)write a bunch of scripts to download files from remote ftp servers, where we won't know the names beforehand; move the files to an archive folder on the FTP server; copy the files to the correct servers on our LAN; and log the file information in Oracle.Our current scripts are for a windows product called ScriptFTP that provides a nice little language. It does everything except the logging, but we're wanting to get rid of Windows.

I have recently been given the job of maintaining the code, and I'm looking for a good language for simple, robust ftp scripts that will work on Linux. We have some customers with remarkably unreliable FTP servers. If necessary, I can write another program to handle the logging to Oracle. I'm usually a C++ developer, so a similar syntax is a bonus. I also want to be able to hand this over to an entry-level programmer later.

So far, I'm intrigued by PHP, but I've hardly had a chance to look at it for any scripting. I like the idea of being able to loop through the files individually and even be able to skip over anything that looks like it's currently being written (either based on the file name or date/time). I've thought about writing something in C++ that would take a simple config file instead of a full blown script. However, I don't want the maintenance, unless someone writes a quality FTP library that is inexpensive (hopefully free) for commercial use.

Programming :: Can't Seem To Find Scripting Tutorials

Dec 1, 2010

I am familiar with C, C++, and Python at a novice level. I have recently tried learning bash, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it. My biggest problem, I think, is the huge "vocabulary"-- it seems like there are thousands of commonly used commands, and several ways to use said commands.I've done some google searches but can't seem to find scripting tutorials that tailor to n00bs. Most go from basic "Hello World" programs to very complex scripts.

Programming :: VB Scripting Worklsheet And Key Events?

Jan 18, 2011

am working an a worksheet where I need to lookup id in an other worksheet.The script works as long as I am staying on the same row. When pressing key up or enter the corresponmding lookup information is not placed on the very same row.In short terms, I want the lookup data to be enterd on the same row no matter what key I am pressing.

The script:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cfind As Range
On Error Resume Next
If Intersect(Target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
thisRow = ActiveCell.Row

[code].....

This example is set to Enter key procedure. So when the enter key is pressed, my current row will change by 1 so I have to compensate for that. All I want is that the data will be correctly enterd no matter what key I am pressing.

Debian Programming :: Bash Scripting For Jessie

Aug 25, 2015

You are probably using systemd (check it with ps --pid 1) and therefore /etc/init.d isn't considered for autostart. Here can you find some information about systemd and autostart [1]. As far as I know systemd isn't intended to start applications with systemd. I recommend you to use the autostart feature of your window manager or desktop environment or at least the .xinitrc.

Programming :: Bash Scripting - Pointed In The Right Direction?

Jul 6, 2011

I've been using Ubuntu for about 6 months now, but haven't had a need to start scripting until just recently. I know programming basics, but that's about it.Anyway, I have a program that I would normally run in this manner (note that I didn't create a permanent alias because I've been moving the program around a lot):alias dx='python /path/to/dxProgram.py' dx A_input.dx B_input.dxSo, you see, program dx takes two input files, and 'A' must come before 'B'. I have a folder full of these types of files that I'd like to loop through with this program. They're named as follows:

0_A_input.dx
0_B_input.dx
1_A_input.dx

Programming :: Scripting Auto-WhiteBalance And 50% Scale

Does anyone have an example of a way to use ImageMagick or GIMP to Auto-White-Balance and scale 50% as a shell script? I'm asking because I usually do this to post-process photos in GIMP but being able to do this in a shell script means I could put it in Thunar in Xfce and save myself quite a bit of time.I checked the man page of mogrify and convert and didn't see any auto-white-balance type options that I am aware of

Programming :: Bash Scripting - Logging To The Virtual Account?

May 21, 2011

I need to write a bash script that will allow me to manage my "virtual network" (in reality just a bunch of directories and files). I need to obtain something like : I have my own command 'connect'. We can use it in two different modes: user and admin. If I type 'connect adashiu virtual_machine_name, computer will ask about password, if password is correct he will change a prompt to :

adashiu_at_virtual_machine_name >

after that user can start to use commands reserved only for user mode. Analogically with admin mode: prompt 'admin >' and administrator can only use bunch of commands reserved for him. changing prompt and separated commands for user and admin ?

Programming :: Bash Scripting Arrays And Indirect Referencing

Feb 23, 2010

I've got a situation. I'm having GNU bash version 3.00.16(1) on Solaris 10. I need to declare an array say arr1 which will be populated by an output of a command.

declare -a arr1
arr1=( $(/some/command) )

Supposing it will eventually (after executing the command) have element values as -

arr1[0]=1234
arr1[1]=5678
arr1[2]=7890

Now, I need to declare another set of arrays, one for each of the element values above - e.g.

declare -a arr1_1234
declare -a arr1_5678
declare -a arr1_7890

And I also need to populate elements of each of above 3 arrays with output of another command in a loop. So, these arrays will hold values something like -

arr1_1234[0]="abc"
arr1_1234[1]="def"
arr1_1234[2]="ghi"

arr1_5678[0]="jkl"
arr1_5678[1]="mno"
arr1_5678[2]="pqr"
arr1_7890[0]="tuv"
arr1_7890[1]="xyz"
arr1_7890[2]="aab"

I'm able to declare and populate arr1[*]. My question is how do I declare, populate and print the subsequent arrays and their elements?I am feeling rather thick to get this working.

Programming :: Bash Scripting - Output As Multiple Files?

I can get all the IP's into 1 file "output.txt", but what I am really looking for is some type of way to create a text file, for each IP it finds labeled xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.txt and also put that ip address into that file..

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = the ip address it finds

Programming :: Compare Two Files Using Perl Or Shell Scripting?

Mar 8, 2010

I want to compare the following two tab-delimited .txt files (both were subsets of the original files) by comparing Columns 3 and 4 simultaneously. It is easy to compare C3 because both C3s are just numbers. But how to compare C4s?Basically, in File1, "G,G" = G in File2, "C,C" = C in File2, "A,A" = A in File2, "T,T"= T in File2.In File2, A/T in Column4 just equals "A,T" or "T,A" in Column4 of File1. C/T in Column4 just equals "C,T" or "T,C" in Column4 of File1, and etc.

File1:

C1C2 C3C4
ih509rs12345467244750"G,G"
ih499rs6049687244911"C,C"
