im trying to get the getopts command to run but for some reason the -d option fails to populate the variable and it remains empty.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
usage()
{
cat << EOF
usage: $0 options
[Code].....
I'm looking for a version of Getopts for Java that isn't licensed under the GPL and accepts long options (i.e. both -h and --help). My code is licensed under BSD and I don't really want to change that just because a module uses the GPL...

$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.

This is what i have after my BEGIN
Am i missing something here? this just prints out the count for everyline, not counting lines on 5th field that match 'A'
suppose i store the history number of a command say :

command=1004
!$command
i am getting errors like :

I am trying to grep multiple numbers from file, grep does have the -f option for that.
Code: grep -f <`seq 500 520` /etc/passwd I know this could be done with
Code: for i in `seq 500 520`; do grep "$i" /etc/passwd; done But my question is fare more behind this example. It is possible to redirect one command output which will be treat as a content of file for another command ?
Is there a command which can be used to run some other command on a few lines from a file or an o/p of some file. (the kind of role that -exec option does for the find command). (I have solved the purpose using a bash loop but would like to know if there exists a command).

the last line of the variable does not have 6 words what i have so far is this
Code:
words=`cat /usr/share/dict/words |grep "^[$list]*$" | xargs -n 6 echo | sed -e 's/[ ]+/,/g s/$/,/g'`
it dosent work though i originally started off with
Code:
words=`cat /usr/share/dict/words |grep "^[$list]*$" | xargs -n 6 echo | sed -e 's/[ ]+/,/g' this puts a comma inbetween them but takes out the space and dosent put a comma at the end of the line.. basicaly what i needed to know is how i could you multiple sed commands to fix this

sed -n '/Sales ID: ${array[$i]}/,/Totals:/p'
that command creates empty files. so my guess is that its not recognizing the array as an array but as text?
how would i be able to utilize the array in the command? i got it, didnt think that if i doubled up the single quotes that it would work, but this worked:

For now though, I'm using this string to grab my ip after startup
Code: Select allsu -c 'ifconfig eth0&&ifdown -a&&ifup lo&&ifup eth0'&&/sbin/ifconfig eth0
I realize I could substitute ifup -a but I'm more interested in figuring out how to make ifup wait for the ip to become available if it is not available yet.
Never mind that one, just typing out the question answered it for me, when I find it in the scripting man ' ; : " & =
Or if there are any other suggestions for better construction of the string.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if there is any way to detect a command if it going to be executed in the shell?
Eg:
Cmd: sudo apt-get clean I want a C program to be called before this cmd is executed.
I understand that $! is the PID of a command. For example:
Code: #!/bin/bash
myprogram &
echo "PID of myprogram is $!"
I'd like to send the output of "myprogram" to both console and to a log file using the "tee" command but I also want to store the PID of "myprogam". Something like this:
Code: #!/bin/bash
myprogram | tee ./logfile &
echo "PID of myprogram is $!"
The problem is that $! is now the PID of "tee" rather than the PID of "myprogram".
I often want to extract some info using awk from a variable/filename while running other things using xargs and sh. Below is an example:
Code: ls -1 *.txt | xargs -i sh -c 'NEW=`echo $0 | awk -F'_' '{print $1}'`; echo $NEW' {}
In the above case I would like to grab just the first field from a filename (delimited by '_') from within an sh command. This is a simplified example, where normally I would be doing some further data processing with the sh command(s).
The error message that I get is:
Code: }`; echo $NEW: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
}`; echo $NEW: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file.
I haven't been able to figure out how to escape the awk command properly.
I am always confused about the redirection operator <Lets say i have a file input.txt that contains one word "hello" without the quotes when i do the following why don't i see any output? $echo < input.txt Secondly, i am slightly confused between input redirection < and pipe | operator. Sometimes they seem to do the same thing. For example i can achieve the output from the above command as follows $ cat input.txt | xargs echo
