The --login flag should be load also the ~/.bash_profile (see man on bash).BUT the problem is that when using this bash �login -c command on RC scripts then it is not load the ~/.bash_profileAnyone know why only in RC scripts it's not behave good?

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"

View 9 Replies View RelatedFor some reason my bash autocomplete stopped working. I get the error when I try to cd into a directory, pressing <tab> for autocomplete:
cd A-sh: <( compgen -d -- 'A' ): No such file or directory
Autocomplete works for the root user and for the other user on the machine, just not logged in as this user. The .bashrc file looks fine to me, and I didn't make any changes to it to even cause the bash autocomplete to stop working (as far as I know).
# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable
# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).

What else could cause autcomplete to stop working? I log in via ssh, btw.

I am using Fedora and trying to auto run a script soon after the unit boots to desktop. I found many suggestions and finally decided to use the Sessions->Startup Programs option (under System->Preferences->Personal->Sessions menu). I added my script in the Startup Programs with the command 'sh myscript.sh'. Now I have two questions here:1. When I use the command 'gnome-terminal -e myscript.sh', I get 'There was an error creating the child process for this terminal' message after logging into the desktop. Can any one tell if I am missing something here?2. Even if I use sh instead of gnome-terminal, I still want to see the script executing. In other words, my script has certain echo statements indicating the flow of the script. But I don't see any shell opening up with these echo statements showing up, after the unit boots to desktop. But the script was still executed with no problem
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan't seem to use tcsh as my login shell under CentOS 5 as I used to (if I specify /bin/tcsh as my start-up shell, the windowing system doesn't come up), so am logging in under bash then switching to tcsh on top of that, but it won't allow display access from tcsh for my programs. Gives the "cannot connect to display" error that usually xhost + is the solution for, but xhost doesn't help in this case (won't even run under tcsh, says unable to open display "0.0"). $DISPLAY is set in .cshrc. Must be something simple, but can't seem to find a direction to head?

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.
