Programming :: Simple Bash To Write Files By Year To A Log File
Jan 31, 2011
I have a folder of 2 many files that the old ls just hangs.
I am trying to write some log files such as;
I don't mind doing one at a time, but I am just playing and even getting the listing I am not getting the date stamp, I have the following;
That does create the file, but all the files look like this;
So basically it's just sticking that ls inside the log file and not actually running the ls, so how can I use the above type to get files just created per year?
I have a bash script that checks for contents in a folder every 15 seconds and then acts on it's contents. This works great for the average size file however on very large files it starts acting on the file before it's completely written. Is there a facility in bash shell to get a file complete signal or such? here is trigger to launch a larger script.
Code:
#!/bin/sh while true do $HOME/bin/hpgl.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &
i tried a code to accept a character and print the same ! i can accept it with following code but its not working with printing that character i use NASM version 2.07
Code:
segment .data msg1: db 'Enter a key',10 msg1len: equ $-msg1
I have been looking at: ut a lot of it is to do with files and numerical comparisonswhat would be the bash equivalent of:if (http isin $2) { do something }
I am trying to create a function that takes a pair of a high and a low limit, and returns an arbitrary number between them. Below is my attempt to create a function that accomplishes this by checking to see if they are equal, and if not, subtracts a very small number from the high limit and returns the result.
I create a bash script that writes another bash file. But in the generated bash file I want to write a bash command in the file and not executing it.Here's my bash file:
Code: #!/bin/bash cat > ~/generateGridmix2data.sh << END
Are there any tools that can be used to create a simple GUI for the bash script files i have created, and the GUI should be able to run on both Solaris and Red Hat systems.
I am running a simple script that I copied from slug.ceca.utc.edu/docs/2009-3-26-linux-server-health.pdf and edited with the names and paths of my own servers. I don't know much about scripting (re: nothing) but I wanted to try and be efficient in my new role as a Linux Sys Admin. The script was saved to root's home directory and runs as part of root's crontab once a week. The script runs with no problem, but it doesn't actually seem to run all of the commands contained within. It skips some in the middle and the end and I don't know why. The script itself is this:
I'm writing a bash shell script that among various other things will traverse through a directory with hundreds of files and rename those who match a pattern found in a config file. It's expected that only about one in ten files will actually match, and those who don't, will simply just be ignored for this purpose.
This should for instance cause the file "dBase program file December 1987.prg" to be renamed "Clipper source code December 1987.prg", and conversely "C++ source August 1996.cpp" to be renamed "C source code August 1996.cpp" etc.A sample file such as "Random Data File.dat" should not be renamed here since it's not mentioned in the config file..What is the quickest, most elegant way to do this in bash?I am thinking of using bash's built-in regex matching combined with the /bin/rename utility, but don't quite know how to get started to catch this..I guess there are plenty ways of doing this in perl and elsewhere as well, but since this has to integrate into a pre-existing bash script, that's what I'm looking for.Anyone out there with a spare moment to offer a hint in the right direction?
I have very little linux experience. And need some help with a bash script. I need to a script I can set cron to run to sort files out of a holding folder into final folders. It doesn't necessarily have to be bash, but I think it would be sufficient for this. File names are formatted as such when created: Dest-Date-Time-CID-Destination# I want the files to be moved from a all in one holding folder to a folder structure like this.
So the script will need to make directories based on information in the file name which is delimited by single dashes. Then move files from the holding folder to the newly created "sorted" folders.
Ive been using linux for a while but I am just getting into shell scripting, im currently trying to get a simple script for finding and copying files powered by the command:
Code:
This works fine from the command line but when put in a script such as:
Code:
Code:
with the keyboard inputs for $fc1 and $fc2 being *.doc and ~/test respectivly. The only problem i can see is the xargs -ivar "var" part possibly needing $var to be defined?
I have been looking for a script example of reading and writing to the parallel port's data, status, and control registers using bash. I see it done in pascal, tcl, etc. but nothing in bash.

I think the problem has to do with modifying PS1 inside the bash so i tried this:
Code: echo `export PS1="[e]1;u@h:wa]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$ "` and it still didn't work.
I'm trying to write a bash script that gets the list of files in a directory and puts them into a variable, then checks each entry and outputs them as follows:
item1 is a FILE item2 is a DIR item3 is a DIR etc etc.
I am able to get the list of files into a variable, but unsure how to get the output I want.
In my tmp directory some logs are creating continue (with name logs.txt1, logs.txt2 up to 245). Some times these logs are creating continue within 1 or 3 second gap, now I want to write a bash script that continue monitor the tmp directory and if any time logs create simultaneously within 1 or 3 section gap it will alert me..( generally logs are create with the gap of 5 or 10 minutes duration or some time after one hours )
I'm planing to write a bash script that will make some web stats reports and I'm stuck on beginning because I don't know how can I read a directory content, put everything in a variable, compare the variable value with current date and go further.More specific ...
I have /var/apache/log/. Here I have access logs on date ( like access.log.24.06.2010.gz and so on ).
How can I do to automatically zgrep (in a bash script) last day .gz ??
I am trying to write a bash script that sources another bash script. Essentially, I need a few lines to check to see if a certain variable is set. If not, I set it manually, and then source a scripts with that variable in the path. I wrote a test script to try it, but for some reason the last line does not work. Here is what I wrote:
#!/bin/sh source ~setupdir/setup.shrc #just a test, this line works echo ${#SETUP} # prints 0 if setup is not set, which it isn't if [ ${#SETUP} -eq 0 ] then SETUP="~setupdir" fi echo $SETUP # prints ~setupdir
I mean codes on how to write a bash script for locate file. E.g: This utility shows you all files and directories that have a specific substring in the name. Press '?' for help, 'q' for quit or enter your search terms:
Kuala bin I have searched for two terms for you, Kuala, which has three hits: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kuala_Lumpur /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Asia/Kuala_Lumpur /usr/share/zoneinfo/right/Asia/Kuala_Lumpur bin, which has 2312 hits. Are you sure you want to see all of those? [Y/n] n Press '?' for help, 'q' for quit or enter your search terms: Sorry, you didn't enter any search term. Press '?' for help, 'q' for quit or enter your search terms: q
I write a bash script to time some downloads from a server using ftp connection. ( something like: "time ftp 'options' ) I need to count the time for a list of files in a loop and output the result in a file.
I'm trying to write a bash script program in the Linux command terminal that will write to a fellow user and then continue reading down the program. this is what i have (kind of explains the idea too):
#!/bin/sh
clear echo "this is before the write command" write jcummins this message should go to jerry echo "the message didn't send and this string will not appear" echo "it appears it has stopped at the write command"
I have managed to write a bash script that moves files to the recylce bin instead of being deleted. Then (with a bit of assistance) wrote another bash script that deletes the files from the recycle bin. Now I need to write one that will restore the files preferably to their original location? I am very new to linux and stuggling with where to even begin...any ideas? There seems to be some advice about creating a cloning tree, but I've never heard of them?
I made a string key-value mapping struct in C, and functions to add and remove entries. I would also like to write a function to read in this file format:
trying to learn how to write a bash script that will create a new text file named jimbola in my home directory. The file will need to be able to have the first and last name of Jim Bola included in it.
