Programming :: Bash Script Position Parameter Does Is Not Parsing '$1'?

Apr 8, 2010

bash script:

Code:
$ bash --version
bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(2)-release (i486-slackware-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Code:

The question is, how to config it works through 'function cool {}' or cool() {} with position parameter

Programming :: Parsing Unflagged Parameters In Bash Script?

Apr 6, 2010

I've searched online and found many examples using getopts, but nothing that clearly explains it use, nor any examples of what I'm trying to do. I have a script named "process". It can take from 0 to 3 different options. I'd like to be able to handle these options regardless of the order that they are entered.

Syntax:
process [-v] [-d #] [-h|-?] [string]
-v = verbose mode on
-d # = how deep to do the process, expecting a number parameter
-h or -? = show command usage
string = only process lines containing the specified string

[Code]..

Programming :: Bash Variable Parsing / Extract And Put Into Variables Each Combination Of F1 And F2 In A Loop?

Oct 14, 2010

I have a bash variable where the content looks like this where ;f1; and ;f2; are delimiters:
;f1;field1value1;f2;field2 value1 ;f1;field1value2;f2;field2 value2 ;f1;field1value3;f2;field2 value3

So what I need is to extract and put into variables each combination of f1 and f2 in a loop to something like that:

#first pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value1
f2=field2 value1

#second pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value2
f2=field2 value2

# third pass of the loop I need:
f1=field1value3
f2=field2 value3

Programming :: Parsing Text Files In Bash / Cant Seem To Read The Array Back?

May 29, 2011

PI'm trying to write a script to list all open ports in the MINIUNPND chain in iptables and use the procotol, port and destination ip to open ports on another router using upnpc.Here is the output of iptables -L MINIUPNPD

Code:
>iptables -L MINIUPNPD
Chain MINIUPNPD (1 references)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.3.124 tcp dpt:19955
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.3.124 tcp dpt:20054
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.3.130 udp dpt:10654
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere 192.168.3.121 tcp dpt:29955
code....

No matter what i do i cant seem to remove the first 4 characters from the MYPROT array to leave only the digits. Also i cant seem to read the array back???

I thought it would simply be a loop reading each line and passing the fields in variables, executing upnpc commands i need then moving to the next line of the file until it reached the EOF.

Programming :: BASH Sort List By End Of Line To X Position In Each Line?

Aug 18, 2010

I'm trying to make another file annotation script a little speedier than it has been by the up-until-now proven method of checking the last four characters in a filename before the "dot" (eg .jpg, .psd) against a list of known IPTC categories and Exiv2 command files. It occurred to me that if one script generated a list of files in directory foo, and the same or another script sorted that list by that four-letter tag,then that list could be used(instead of a for/do/done loop on the real files in the folder) by the command-file-matching script to "vomit out" which annotator file would go with file nastynewfile.jpg, f'r'instance. The script I had been using for this task looks like this:

Code:

while read 'line';
do
sp=$(echo $line)
vc=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f1)
cv=$(echo $sp | cut -d"," -f2)

[code]....

Where I seem to be stuck is with how to sort the lines in templist, which may be any number of different lengths, from back to front. sort -k looked promising, except it seems only to work the other way round. I thought of invoking a

Code:

q=$(expr length $line); echo $q
n=$[q-8]; echo $n

kind of thing, but that presented the problems of how to sort by those, how to tell sort where to find them (grep?) and how to "stitch them back in" to the original list, which is what I want to sort in the first place.

General :: Parsing Strings Containing Bash Scripts?

Jan 15, 2010

fakeFile's contents :

Code:

blah $(date +%F) blah

fakeScript's contents :

Code:

while read line; do
echo $line
done < "fakeFile"

so here's the problem : is there any way to evaluate the fakeFile's contents (in the fakeScript), so that the term "$(date +%F)" (or any other bash script) in a string , translates to it's corresponding value ? (in this example , we want to have "blah current date" instead of " blah $(bash script) blah " )

Ubuntu :: Parsing Web Data From Nagios (Bash Fu)?

Apr 27, 2011

We have a system called Skynet, which is basically a bunch of monitoring tools, including Nagios. What I want to do is output the status of 'critical' processes in conky. The conky part I'll worry about later (how hard can that be?), but I'm looking for some feedback on how I'm parsing the initial data. I figure that the simplest way to get the information is to query the cgi, then take what I need from the results...

Code:
wget -O - "http://user:pass@skynet/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=16&hoststatustypes=3"| grep -i "<TD ALIGN=LEFT valign=center CLASS='statusBGCRITICAL'><A HREF='extinfo.cgi?type=2&host="

[Code]...

All I basically want is the server name and the process name, the above example giving server0/server1 and 'update status' as the service. How would you go about extracting merely these two pieces of information, bearing in mind that the server name and process are variable?

Ubuntu :: Parsing Textfiles And Passing Arguments In Bash To Preserve Tracker-tag Metadata

Sep 3, 2010

I'm at the bottom of the bash learning curve, looking up, hoping someone can toss me a line. I need to update tracker on my system but this will erase the metatag database I've been building up over the course of months for the purpose of indexing a news archive. So the solution seems to be, 1) save the output of tracker-tag to a text file for all relevant files within a directory, 2) upgrade tracker (since the version in the Ubuntu repositories is very much out of date) and then 3) use a script to parse the text file and pass appropriate arguments back to tracker-tag to rebuild the database. It sounds as though it ought to be simple enough, but I need a push in the right direction, which hopefully will not be off the cliff. Before I confuse my metaphors any further, here's what the text file looks like.

Programming :: Parsing Log File With Awk?

Aug 31, 2009

I have logs files from freeradius that have looks as follows:

$ grep "Login incorrect (rlm_ldap: User not found" /var/log/radius/radiusd-inner-tunnel-20090831.log
Mon Aug 31 09:25:27 2009 : Auth: Login incorrect (rlm_ldap: User not found): [John Doe] (from client oficina port 0 via TLS tunnel)

[code]....

I use the following line to get the amount of users that don't exist on ldap:

Code:

grep "Login incorrect (rlm_ldap: User not found" /var/log/radius/radiusd-inner-tunnel-20090831.log | awk '{print $14}' | sort -fu | wc -l

Now, awk on line one for example parses [John Doe] and [Joon Williams] as "[John" and that it's not what I'd want. I mean how could I do for awk looks username field as closed between squared brackets?

I am trying to check if the 9th character in a file on each line is a v and if so, then print the first word. I've tried a number of variations and am stuck !If it's possible to also check if character position 1 begins with a s in the same awk, that would make it cleaner instead of using egrep.

egrep '^s' file | nawk '{virtual=substr($0,9,1); if ($virtual=="v") {printf "%s", $1}}'
nawk: illegal field $(e)
input record number 1

Programming :: O_SYNC Parameter In Open Command?

Jul 9, 2010

I have a small board that has a static ram board attached to it. I have two different programs that each write to a byte of memory in the static ram board. I get a file descriptor to the device memory with the following code:

int phymemfd;
phymemfd=open("dev/mem, O_RDWR | O_SYNC);

This opens the physical memory for both reading and writing. Next I get a pointer to the beginning of my ram board.

volatile unsigned char *novram;
novram = (unsigned char *) mmap(0, getpagesize() * 31,
PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, phymemfd, 0x11AA0000);

I do this same code in two processes that are both running and this works fine. Now, if I take out the O_SYNC parameter, one of the programs gets into some sort of weird state.My understanding of the O_SYNC parameter is that it cause the process accessing the memory location to block, not allow another process to run, until the first process has finished writing to it.I can see that if my program doesn't block, I wouldn't really know what was in the memory location, but would I can't see how it would cause any other type of system problem.

Programming :: Script To Get Position #s Of First And Last A-Z Character On Certain Lines?

Oct 3, 2010

I have a set of files containing DNA or amino acid sequences from various organisms:

Code:
>14432|LGIG|186221
--MISVLAMA-NRITAAEKR
>14432|CAP1|21057
MVRVNVLADALKSI-TAEKR

--RMNVLADALXSIC?AEKR
>14432|NVEC|159589
-VRVNVLN-ALNSICNAEX-

[Code]...

Can anyone help me get the position of the first and last non-missing data characters (while allowing missing data characters in the middle of the sequence)? I'm sure it is a simple sed or awk command but I can't figure it out. I think I can produce the output file I want once I have figured those commands out.

My ultimate goal is to write a script that can make composite sequences from two or more non-overlapping sequences (e.g., the two sequences from NEOM). I may also want to merge sequences that partially overlap (e.g., those from TEST) but that would complicate things. Is this a logical first step for such a script or would you do it differently?
