How can I pass xml data from memory or a variable to xmllint that expects a file as input? Or does xmllint have the capabilities to read from stin or a variable?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a file with around 1000 IP addresses in it and I need to be able to ssh into each one of them, run a single command, and then exit. I already know the ssh command I want to run and it looks like this:
Code:
shpass -p [password] ssh -p 10022 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@[ip variable] 'reboot'
(I know shpass is not good to use and keys are the correct way but I don't have any other options in this scenario.) if these ip addresses were in a .csv file, by themselves with no other information, how would I create a script to do the above command to each ip until the end of the file?
I cannot for the life of me get this little (simple) script I wrote to work. Here is the entire script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ASPECT=`mediainfo $1 |grep "Display aspect ratio" |cut -d : -f 2`
HEIGHT=`echo "320 / $ASPECT" |bc`
SIZE=`echo 320x$HEIGHT`
[code]......
An input filename ($1) is fed into mediainfo, which by the use of grep and cut spits out a single number which is the aspect ratio. This is then divided by bc into 320, which gives the desired height dimension for the file that I want ffmpeg to create for me. Finally, ffmpeg runs using the calculated dimensions... Basically, it's the passing of the $ASPECT variable to bc that seems to fail. It looks like bc won't read the output from the mediainfo line... It always crashes out with:
Code:
(standard_in) 1: illegal character: ^M I've tried doing something even simpler like this to debug by just trying it to display the calculation on the screen:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ASPECT=`mediainfo $1 |grep "Display aspect ratio" |cut -d : -f 2`
HEIGHT=`echo "320 / $ASPECT" |bc`
echo $HEIGHT
and it does the same, so it's definitely bc that won't accept the output from mediainfo.
I want to build on the code from /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/05etckeeper to work with Snapper, the new-in btrfs (et al) snapshot package.
Code: Select allDPkg::Pre-Invoke    { "if [ -x /usr/bin/etckeeper ]; then etckeeper pre-install; fi"; };
DPkg::Post-Invoke   { "if [ -x /usr/bin/etckeeper ]; then etckeeper post-install; fi"; };
The etckeeper code will work well as a template, but I need to pass a parameter between the pre- and post- instances. The parameter is obtained from the pre- invocation and passed to the post- invocation.I know that something similar to my quest is done with the 'pid' but how to do it in the 'standard' way. Happily there can't be multiple dpkg instances running concurrently (prevented by dpkg?) so I don't have to worry about that issue.
Q1. What is the 'standard' way of passing parameters about?
Code: Select allsnapper -c etc create -t pre -p   (which 'prints' the parameter (int) to pass to the following invocation)
snapper -c etc create -t post --pre-number <parameter> in place of the two etckeeper calls.
Q2. How do I pick up the 'printed' output of the 'pre' call? I think it's just a 'get' from the stream but perhaps I've missed something.?
I want to know is there some more efficient way of passing a pointer to a local variable as a parameter to a function in x86 asm? Right now I have to move the base pointer to a temp register, subtract from the register and pass that, like this (assuming a local var at esp-4):
Code:
mov eax, ebp
sub eax, 4
push eax
Is there a better way?

Say, i have an imaginary std library function, which I want to call.
Code:
void std_lib_func(ObjectType *param);
Now in my c++ program, I have a main() function, and I will like to call a customized function (which will in turn call the std lib function) from the main function, as below:
Code:
int main()
{
ObjectType *aobj;
customized_func(aobj);
}
[Code]...
I tried the below but get an error that the std lib function is expecting a ObjectType* param, not aobj. How should I work this out.
Code:

However, I'm having trouble with file existence testing when the file name has a space in it.
I have distilled the problem down to the following:
This code works as expected, printing 'yes' if '~/test file' exists, and no if not.

However, this code gives an error.
Code:
The error:
Code:
Which tells me that it is splitting ["~/test file"] into ["~/test] and [file"]. Why? Is there a way around this?
Note that if you simply use a file path without a space, both cases work perfectly. Is this a BASH bug possibly? I just can't understand why the first would work, but the second wouldn't.

I am trying to make a simple alias for find command that acceps a variable.

"While ; do ; done" is very convenient for SH coding. However sometimes you may be annoyed by your computed variable within the "while do done" type loop. What to do how to pass it out of the loop to the outside of the bash code? A solution is to write it into the /tmp or on the disk... and to call it back after. - not elegant... really not... Anyone would know a trick another alternative that would look nicer?
Code:

TOTAL_SIZE=`expr $SIZE + $TOTAL_SIZE`

I'm trying to read content of file to variable and use this variable in for loop. The problem is, when I have c++ comment style in file - /*. Spaces in line are also interpreted as separated lines.
For example:
Code:
Changing $files to "$files" eliminate these problems but causes that whole content of variable is treated as one string (one execution of loop).

View 8 Replies View Relatedcan i use the value of one variable to generate a name for another variable? for example i want to use the counter from a "do while" loop to name and define a variable each time the loop executes. for example

i don't have a script yet but each time through the loop i intend to cd to a particular directory and then define a variable containing a list of each object in that directory as values. for the rest of the script to work, each variable generated has to be unique, and i can't think of a good way to accomplish this.

I am trying to alter the character position of residue numbers above 999 in a pdb file.The following script is an attempt to:1) Get all unique pdb residue numbers (in column 5) using awk and assign it to a variable i.2) Loop through all the values in $i and if it is greater than 999, shift that number one character to the right using sed.However, the script only manages to alter the final residue numberCould anyone please advise how I can loop through all values in $i and shift it one character to the right?

I was doing a preupgrade from f12 to f13. That was interrupted by a power cut. When I tried to redo it by booting from the grub option, it failed (can't remember the error). I then re-ran preupgrade, but got the "the root for the previously installed system was not found" error even though the UUID was correct and even when I referenced the partion by device - /dev/sda14.
So I decided to go old school:
1. yum update
2. change the repos manually to reference f13
3. yum update
So as it stands these are seemingly the only remaining f12 packages
Code:
But i am guessing due to the interrupted preupgrade, the releasever variable has not been updated. How can I manually do that?
