Programming :: Bash Syntax To Translate From Csh Scripts?
Jan 1, 2011
I am setting some environmental variable in my .bashrc , the sample code I was provided with is for CSH but I am using bash, and there are some syntax differences between them ... I got most of the script to work, but I am getting an error at this part :
Code: if ($RMSTREE == $RMANTREE) then
set path=($path $RMANTREE/bin)
else
I'm new to scripting and I have a trouble with if statement syntax. The code is: Code: #there is a diff command here, and it does what i want but#i wanna see 1 if the exit value of diff is 0, and otherwise i wanna see 0.#the problem is here: (syntax error near unexpected token "then")
I have this project which I've been working on essentially nonstop for the past three days and due to work I am running low on time. I'm new to Linux/Unix and my Teacher has assigned us a scripting project, due for Monday. I have All the functions for the project in a separate file which run as a daemon process when I log in. It has no syntax errors but my Script can not run the functions (I'm not sure where they go before or after the body) and I have one function I'd like you guys to take a look at. It has a Second menu leading to a case statement but it does not run after the Search. I'm Kinda tired of looking at the CLI but I have to finish this.
I have a daemon script which wakes up every 5 minutes and checks the health of started processes. It works fine during the day but throws a syntax error just after midnight.Here is the log:
(02/22-23:49) Check all started processes (02/22-23:54) Check all started processes (02/22-23:59) Check all started processes
I have a bash script giving me the following error:
[Code]...
When I run it I am getting: ./svnup: line 61: syntax error: unexpected end of file Can't for the life of me figure out what is wrong. It's a script to export the latest revision from SVN to the web root folder and archive the previous version, basically.
I am a Novell (now defunct) CNE tring to learn Linux and am having a lot of trouble finding out where the WB 6-6 is wrong in the syntax for adding local4... the the syslog-ng config file. In the instructions there are discrepancies between commas and simi-comma, they are both in the statements in no particular order. there is no pattern to them. Here is what the book shows:
filter f_local4debug { level(debug) and facility(local4); };
When I try to input this in the Gnome terminal window to try and find out where it goes wrong I get the following: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token "(" If I can get the correct syntax I belive I can use the info to get past the rest of this portion of the lesson. I am desperate to learn Linux as the only jobs out there for a Novell CNE are migrations to MS, which really sucks, since MS really really sucks.
I've got a cisco error log which is pulled and mailed out via the following code (values are written to a mysql db). I really need to make the IP's in the second column hostnames,I don't really know how to start.I'll paste the code I've got and someone can come up with a bright idea
Also, the CSV file is updates every few hours and I need to load any new data from the file to the database without creating duplicates of data that has already been loaded to the database.
I pride myself on at least trying to help myself before I ask, but I've been staring at this a long time, I'm just not getting any traction.I've literally got 3 linux references on my desk right now that say that I should be able to use if conditionals, for example
[ -d FILE ]True if FILE exists and is a directory. [ -e FILE ]True if FILE exists. [ -f FILE ]True if FILE exists and is a regular file.
In a bash script brought over from a Debian/Lenny system, Ubuntu 10.04 stumbles on the left parenthesis in the expression below:NEED_COLS=$[($HEX_WIDTH * 4) + 12]Is it an Ubuntu/Debian script style mismatch, or just post-Lenny? If that can be answered, is there a way to reconcile or syntax check older scripts?
I've been trying to find a bug in this test script, but haven't been able to so far. I'm not lazy, I promise...just new to Bash so am having a hard time catching syntax errors. I call the script with the option -disableVenusBld, and it still prints "Starting build", which it shouldn't be doing right?
I know it's possible to change the $ user@hostname colors, but is it possible to color different things? Could I make all numbers/integers a certain color. Or set certain keywords to be bold?
I thought I'd make myself a bash script of sorts to download movie trailers, from a file where I manually dump the URL of each file on a separate line: file 'trailerlist':
When I am adding removing packages to get more hard drive space, this is not the first time I left too many pages open and it crashes on me. My son would fix it by typing in the terminal sudo something, but I want to know how to do this. The only thing not working is the add/remove packages at the moment. Here is what it said, E:dpkg was interrupted you must manually run 'dpkg--configure -a' to correct the problem E: _cache-open()failed please report. Please, could someone tell me how to get the default back or whatever. When I type in the terminal, it refused my password until I tried several times, plus, it finally says in the terminal No such command. Bash. No such command. I am hoping this question is one you do recognize the answer for.
I tried using Yum to remove the package. Like this:
To remove or uninstall a package:
Code:
yum -y remove ,package name>
Terminal goes: Bash syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
When ever i open vim, i get the error that the following error: E484: Can't open file/abcd/configFiles/vim/syntax/syntax.vim There was a .vimrc file in my home folder that i have removed.
Still i keep getting the same error. Presently in my home folder there is no .gvimrc or .vimrc file.
But still i keep getting the same error. I am not too sure where this file is mentioned.
Background info: The SHELL has been changed from tcsh to bash Earlier i had created a .vimrc file in tcsh, i have removed the .vimrc in bash SHELL.
The following problem occurs to me, I'm creating a distribution (as a class project) for my school (I'm studying telecommunications and computer systems). I am following, in order to create the distribution, the manual that you can find on this page: [URL] But when I get to write:
