...and check the region of each line between the second and third pipes (the 6-digit numbers) against the values in the first column of a separate text file in CSV format like this...
274326,"Wnt family of developmental regulators"
114745,"FOG: Hormone receptors"
100379,"Transcription factor tinman/NKX2-3, contains HOX domain"
...and when they match, replace the value to the right of the third pipe (e.g., fgenesh2_pg.sca...) with the value in the second column in the CSV file associated with that number.
-Qjackctl has a config file which is modified each time QjackCtl is shut down. This means that whatever preset is in use when QjackCtl closes is written into the QjackCtl config file as the DEFAULT PRESET, for the next time QjackCtl starts (or at least this is how I understand it).
-I want to edit a specific line in the QjackCtl.config file, which specifies the DEFAULT PRESET. Obviously its easy to do manually, but I want to do it using a shell script which runs automatically on StartUp so that QjackCtl starts every time with the same DEFAULT PRESET, NOT the last one used.
-Unfortunately Im not at my Linux system right now (which is KXStudio/Kubuntu), but I believe the QjackCtl.config line looks something like this: DEF_PRESET=alsa (where alsa is the name of the preset)
PRESET1=alsa PRESET2=firewire
I want a shell script which changes the line DEF_PRESET=alsa to DEF_PRESET=alsa, even when it may currently exist as DEF_PRESET=firewire due to occasions when firewire was the active preset when Qjackctl was last closed. I notice that the application in KDE that enables the user to set which applications open automatically on StartUp also allows the user to select shell scripts.
Ive done some research, as a beginner, and Im led to believe I might need to use AWK and/or CHMOD. I could have a go at writing a shell script but Im always wary about experimenting with StartUp scripts/operations because obviously if I get it wrong and make my system unusable, then because its going to run first thing on each boot, Id have great difficulty disabling it.
I am a novice to the shell script. In my system from db server the log files are enerating with the name log1.txt,log2.txt..... It is capable of keeping 10 files at a time in dir called /db/sis/log1.txt. I want to copy the log1.txt to another directory when ever it generating by attaching the time stamp to it for the back-up purpose. this files will be there for a period of 24 hours. after that the back-up dir should be cleared and it start copying again the fresh file from the same dir.
I'm trying to write a toy linux shell. For starters this is what I'm trying to do:
1. Start a new process with fork.
2. Execute a program in the new process with execl().
3. Redirect the output from the new process from STDOUT to another file descriptor, using dup2(2).
4. In the parent process, read the output from the child process and write it to the screen.
Creating a new process and executing a program in it is no problems, the problem is that I can't seem to capture the output from it in the parent process.
I don't know how to write a shell script to set security policies for Linux to start. and how. I know that there are many security policies for Linux but do not know which one best suited to write a shell script.
Am not sure of the best way to go about writing a script. All I need at the moment is to start a java http server program at startup.How should I write languagetool.sh so as to be able to stop the script execution?
I have a number of text files throughout my /home/pjs/Documents directory tree that have execute permissions set. Almost all of my file names have spaces in them. I am trying to write a shell script that will look at each file in my Documents directory, find the ones that have execute permissions set, and run the command chmod 644. Of course, I don't want the command run on the directories.
The following script *doesn't work*, but might serve to illustrate what I am trying to do:
#!/bin/bash for x in "$(ls -R)" do if [ -f "$x" ] && [ -x $x ]; then chmod 644 "$x" fi done
I want each file and directory name to be placed, one by one, in the variable $x, and then tested with the "if" conditionals.
The first problem seems to be that, although the command "ls -R" does produce a complete list of the files and directories I need, they are not placed, one by one, in the variable x like I want them to be.
Also, I think I should use the shift command so that the option -R doesn't get included as one of the values of the variable $x, but I can't figure out where to put it.
If say, I want to read the input given by user at the command prompt and write a code to execute the cmd given then which commands do i use to implement this ( Im writing the code in C )?
I want to write expdp output in a text file using a shell script
If i write like below:
It will write whatever is there in log file to text file
But, sometimes export fails with out start taking export (without generating log file) because of job already exists error. such times, we dont know about that error until we check manually... so i wrote like below:
But still it is not writing anything in to text file using above stmt...
I have two linux servers, they are backup together.
1. Server 1 have 3 files with name: file1, file2, file3 in the path: /etc/sysconfig/network-script/.
2. Server 2 have 3 files with name and path are the same as server 1.
- How to make a script to copy 3 files at server1 to overwrite on server2. But before overwrite, this script will check and compare the last modified date of these 3 files(on server1 and server2). if the modified date of file1, file2 or file3 on server1 is newer than 3 files on server2 then overwrite process will do, if not, will do nothing.
- see my script as below: it works find now but just overwrite. not check last modified date.
I am trying to write a shell script in order to automate the process of uploading a file onto an FTP server using the built in FTP commands in ubuntu server (lucid). In order to connect I can use the following:
Code:
ftp wsbeorchids.org.uk Name (wsbeorchids.org.uk:danielgroves): USERNAME Password: PASSWORD
In need to pass my username and password in when prompted the prompts. How should I go about doing this? I have tried echoing the values without success. Please not that I am something of an amateur with scripting.

the below tag is in the xml file. Now i want to find and extract the value of application name test1 and test2 one by one in the unix shell script. how to do this
am trying to write a shell script to find the size of a particular log file and if the log size grows, script should mail the changes to the administrator or a any user so script should monitor the log file continuously in a time interval, how can i do that?
I tried with these codes to find the file size but it throws me error says command not found
I'm relatively experienced with UNIX and Linux, but this has me thrown for quite a loop, and it seemed like such a simple question. How would I go about finding the newest file in a file system? I thought something like:
Code:
ls -ltr `find /usr -type f`
would work, but I seem to be exceeding the argument maximum for ls:
ksh: 0403-029 There is not enough memory available now
I thought something involving xargs might work, but I really suck with that command.
I have the following problem. I call a C++ program from a Java servlet by using Runtime exec. The OS is ubuntu and I use Netbeans 7.0 with Glassfish 3.1 web server.The program executes but it does not open and write into a specified file in a specified folder. The same C++ program compiled under Windows opens and writes this file.How can I solve this problem in Linux?
I'm running a simple backup and log script that is cronjobed to run twice a day. So currently, when new data is added to the log, its added to the direct bottom of the log file. However, I would like to have it printed to the very top of the log. The code is attached, I can't quote it in here because I am a new user and the system thinks I have url's in it, when they are just paths.
