Programming :: Check Command Line For A Word?
May 23, 2010
I'm building a script for my place of employment. The next step in it is checking what the user input was. Determining if they added a part in there or not. The script prompts for a hostname. Hostnames are localhost.localdomain. Now, I want the script to check to see if they put localdomain and if they did, not to add the domain to the /etc/sysconfig/network, but just what they entered. So say the user inputs:

Want to search for ~ and delete it as well as to append the entire line to the above line. For Ex:
1111xxxx date Sandy area is ~around this area.3222xxx date There seems to ~left side of map, the colours are accurate (showing green areas)Even if I ~zoom in, the green parks, xxx3258 date The dammed up
~away, the "other" body of water varies ~blackNatural gas leaching.
IT MUST LOOK LIKE:

I have a large tab delimited text file, about 17gb. It only has 6 column. On column number 4, it is all numbers. Ranging from 1-1000. I want to count how many times each number occured. So the output I want is in 2 columns, first one is a number, second column is how many times it occured. I tried
head -n 1000 coverage | cut -f 4 | uniq -c
Didn't work for me, the first column returned is not unique.

I have grepped a log file to obtain every line that contains a word (let's call it 'blah'). I now want to only display a list of entries within that search result that feature the word 'host' anywhere in the line, and I also want to display the single word *after* 'host' (up until the next space). So, the end result will look like this:

After sifting through numerous apt-get apt-cache apt-file tutorials I still can't find a command to check if a package is installed via the terminal command/line.
I know there must be some way to do it.
Say I want to check if any package from the libavcodec*.deb family is installed how could I do this without a gui eg synaptic?

since I am on a Dell inspiron 1545 laptop, being able to display my battery charge is critical. After some extensive googling, I found I need a command 'acpi', which does not exist on my computer. I cannot seem to find it in the packages database; the closest thing being 'acpi-support' apt-get install also can't find it.
I tried cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state, but that only shows me if the battery is discharging or charging and doesn't give me an actual percentage.

I am pretty new to bash scripting...I am trying to write a script that will take an input and read it word for word and then DO something with it like echo. I have been able to find how to read word for word from a file but I don't know how to do it with input.
I was looking for something like
Code:
exit 0 The input would be A-Z a-z 0-9 and have a single space between each word.

Code: cmd='date | wc'
$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?

I am trying to learn how to pass more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal.
I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
USAGE="
${0##*/} [-x] [-g]
code....
However, running with the -g option to invoke gnome-terminal, I get a "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" error.
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.

I need to make a SQL script and call it from Unix (bash) shell.
Code:
sqlplus vikas/vikas <<END
spool /oracle/vikas/output.txt
command 1
[code]....
This runs perfectly, but my problem is that if a command fails, the other commands keeps on running. I need to keep a check that when a command fails the script is exited. In unix we have an option of echo $? to check the status of previous command, But how to accomplish this SQL.

I need to write a script that will take 1 command line argument. The argument will be a username. The script will determine if the user exists on the system and will print an error if it does not. If the user does exist it will determine if the user is currently logged in, if the user is not logged in it will determine the last time the user logged in and display the file in the users home directory that was most recently modified.

cat file.csv | awk -v sign=">" -v field="2000" '{if($3 sign field) printf "%-12s%-12s%-12s%-12s
",$1,$2,$3,$4}' FS=,

I'm troubleshooting a batch of scripts I'm modifying, including an IDL script called by a .csh script. the IDL scripts were provided to me by a coworker and my .csh script is intended to automate a lengthy set of extremely tedious and time consuming processing tasks.
I am currently in the process of debugging, and can't get the IDL to print any messages other than critical failures to the screen. Is there any easy way to redirect the stdout to either a logfile or the screen?
