Programming :: Shell Translator Utility ?
Jul 25, 2010
Usability? Home: you use bash. Work, school, vacation, seminar: you're stuck using zsh or tcsh (or Drush in Drupal).
Function: Without giving errors, quietly cross-checks a non-shell command for its equivalent in the running shell and executes that command, properly-syntaxed.
Name: Well, as the word "imperative" in rudimentary linguistics is a synonym for "command," I thought of an acronym derived from the terms SHell Imperatives Translator. But this morning, I re-thought the lavatorial acronym. Considering it was a "container" of "hooks" that had the potential to operate much like a stripped-down cron or Ubuntu hook bundle, a more polite term for it would be "tacklebox".

Do I have a printer installation utility I can access through the shell? I tried installing/configuring my parallel port HP DeskJet 712C through CUPS using xfce but they didn't list my printer.

I run the following command for disk duplicating from one source to 5 destination harddisk.
dc3dd progress=on conv=sync,noerror iflag=direct bs=262144 hash=md5 log=sda_log.txt if=/dev/sda | tee >(dc3dd of=/dev/sdb) >(dc3dd of=/dev/sdc) >(dc3dd of=/dev/sdd) >(dc3dd of=/dev/sde) | dc3dd of=/dev/sdf
When I run the command in shell prompt it is working fine. But I want to write a shell script for this task. When I wrote and run the shell script it gives the error message syntax error near unexpected token.

I am trying to create a shell script similar to ls, but which only lists directories. I have the first half working (no argument version), but trying to make it accept an argument, I am failing. My logic is sound I think, but I'm missing something on the syntax.
Code:
if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
d=`pwd`
for i in * ; do
if test -d $d/$i ; then
echo "$i:"
code....

Is there some type of functional way to read things in the Python shell interpreter similar to less or more in the bash (and other) command line shells?
Example:
Code:
>>> import subprocess
>>> help(subprocess)
...
[pages of stuff to read]
...
I'm hoping so as I hate scrolling and love how less works with simple keystrokes for page-up/page-down/searching etc.

Something very handy to do in a Linux shell, is manipulating files and strings - essentially parsing data. Write a utility which will scan in a text file and search and replace strings. We also want to keep track of how many strings we've replaced.
I know that my command would look like this: <utility name> <filename> <stringToSearchFor> <stringToReplaceWith>
Code: #!/bin/bash

I've created a simple script based menu. This menu will be accessed by only a certain users via ssh.When user logs in, the menu will automatically run. (configured at user's .bash_profile).How do I force the session to close when user hits Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Break ?In a nutshell, I don't want user to have access to shell.

I have a situation where I am in a non-interactive shell. I have tried from within my non-interative shell to spawn an interactive shell but my output still does not goto me. Isn't there a way I can somehow go into /proc or somwhere and make the output my /dev/tty1? Or some way else to remedy this?The situation arises because I drop from my restricted shell environment (a sort of CLI interface), into the actual Linux shell. I cannot change the code of the CLI environment I am just faced with being in the linux shell environment and its non-interactive. Its very annoying to have to put > /dev/tty1 after every command I type.
Not to mention it seems damn near impossible to get pagers like more and less to work properly when your in a non-interactive shell.

I have been searching most of today and am stuck on getting a variable into an awk portion of my bash script. I have this working:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
SRC=/var/log/mail.log
DEST=/var/www/output/myFile.txt
VAR=userName@myDomain.tld
[code]....
Can awk take a shell variable? Or do I have to do something completely different?

I need to push out a file to a bunch of linux and solaris boxes so I was hoping to use a script to automate the process with scp (or something else / better) - how can I batchmode scp so that it will do this? I should mention the servers do have keys set up so I do not have to authenticate manually or through something like an expect script...

I am having a shell script with following lines
ORIG_LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=`grep log_archive_format $LOG_DIR/init$CLONE_DB.ora | cut -d"=" -f2`
SRC_LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT=`sqlplus -s "/ as sysdba" @$SCRIPTS_DIR/log_archive_format.sql`
echo $ORIG_LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT
[code]...
When I execute this script I am getting below output
'enin16_%t_%s_%r.arc'
enip131_%t_%s_%r.arc
sed: command garbled: s/'enin16_%t_%s_%r.arc'/
However when I do the exact above command on unix prompt (refer below) after setting values for all variables, it is not giving sed garbled error message. May I know what should I do to make it work inside the script as well?
$ cat init_refresh$CLONE_DB.ora | sed "s/$ORIG_LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT/$SRC_LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT/g" > $LOG_DIR/init_refresh1$CLONE_DB.ora

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.
Code:
//digenv
//C++arl 2011-03-24
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
[code]...

I'm running into a problem when I try to set a variable to an awk output in c-shell. Right now my command is Code: set STR_MSG_TYPE = `awk -F{ '/msg_type/ {print $2}' <filename> | tr -d }'/''*' ` I then run echo to see what the output is and it returns blank, however, when I run the same awk command from the command line, I get an actual output of "MT-715". Am I setting my variable incorrectly? I do something similar using the date command to set a STR_DATE variable earlier in the code and it works fine and I use the same syntax.

I want to spawn a GDB session from bash script and keep it working to interact it from outside. But when I start it in background (with '&' sigil).
Code: gdb -x gdb_script.txt ./a.out < gdb_pipe.fifo &
It executes passed script and terminates by itself (I do not pass any data or signals to it)
Code: Breakpoint 33, main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff0f4) at main.c:53
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---53
read_main_config();
(gdb) quit
A debugging session is active.
Inferior 1 [process 5957] will be killed.
Quit anyway? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal] What can I do to make it alive?
