Server :: Passing On Command Line Switches To Other Programs?

Nov 10, 2010

On our server we have a certain directory, say /storage, that contains many large files. They are all compressed (gzip). Many of our users are not computer-savvy, and so when one of these files is needed, they will copy it to their own directory. Consequently, we have multiple terabytes of duplicate data. I'd like to enforce an alias whereby if someone tries to use cp on a file from /storage, they will instead create a symbolic link. My idea was something like:

alias cp='cp.storage'
File cp.storage:#!/bin/sh
truePath=$(readlink -f "$1")

[code]....

The conditional checks whether the file being copied begins with "/storage". The problem with this is that if someone wanted to use cp with any options on a file not in /storage, those options would be obliterated. Can someone guide me as to a good way to accomplish this? Either a way to get the options from cp into cp.storage, or another approach not using alias this way. Everyone will be using bash.

Programming :: Passing Command-line Arguments To Qglviewer Application?

Jul 13, 2009

how to use QGLviewer. I want to give my program a file name as a command line argument. All of the sample programs I find have a main.cpp file like this:

Quote:

#include <QApplication>
#include "window.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])

[code]....

Then the Window class, which is derived from QGLViewer, does all the program's actual work. If I want access to argc and argv, for example, to open and read a file that's passed as an argument, what would handle that? Is there a built-in way to get the arg variables to the window class, or do I need to just write a loadfile function and pass them?

Programming :: C++ Passing Pointer Variable As A Reference Parameter

Jan 21, 2011

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:

Programming :: C-shell Scripting Syntax Error When Defining Two Variables A1 And A2

Apr 5, 2011

I am trying to modify a script for research purposes and am having difficulty here as I have little prior experience with C-shell scripting.

The script looks as follows (it includes tcl commands like runFEP that you can ignore)

#!/bin/bash

for ((old=1, new=2; old<=4; old++,new++))
a1=${old}%50
a2=${new}%50
do
cat > input${new}.conf <<EOF
${a1}
code....

My question: I keep getting a syntax error when defining my two variables a1 and a2. I essentially need these variables to be
a1 = value of variable old divided by 50
a2 = value of variable new divided by 50

Server :: Shell Scripting For Launching A Simulation Job?

Jun 27, 2011

I've been doing Finite Element simulations with the Ansys software for several years now, and recently I have been allowed to use a cluster running on Linux (it's a Sun Grid Engine, or SGE). Since I am quite newbie to this thing, I have read a lot on the internet to get more familiar with the Unix language. I found some example codes which are supposed to launch Ansys and read input files, but it does not work for me. Actually, what I want to do is simple:

1- I need to use Ansys 12.1 in batch mode, with the Academic Research license (which is called "aa_r");

2- The software should then read my input file (which is an APDL command file (in case you are familiar with it..)) and save the database and results in my working directory on the server.

The software is located in the following path:

/ansys_inc/v121/ansys/bin/ansys121

My working directory:

/home/myusername/

From what I've found on the web, I have to write a shell script that calls the software and specifies the details (batch mode, license name, input file, ...). Then I have to call this script by using the command "qsub".

Script: myjob.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
nohup /ansys_inc/v121/ansys/bin/ansys121 -b nolist -p aa_r -j jobname -i jobname.inp -o jobname.out 2>&1 &

Software :: SCP Error: Unrecognized Configuration Parameter Permitlocalcommand When Run ANY Type Of Scp Command

Jan 31, 2011

This started happening about 2-3 weeks ago when i noticed our backups weren't running anymore. whenever i try to run ANY type of scp command I get the following error: warning: Unrecognized configuration parameter permitlocalcommand ssh: FATAL: Illegal -o parameter "PermitLocalCommand no" lost connection

I checked the /etc/ssh/ssh_config file and there was a command PermitLocalCommand commented out, but for testing I even totally removed that line and then in scp forced the use of that file via scp -F /etc/ssh/ssh_config ......

and I still get the same error. This command is nowhere is any of my ssh config files so im at a loss here on how im supposed to fix this!! I even checked my home directory for maybe a ssh config file that might be overridding the system config but nothing.

Software :: Scripting Error - Export Command Not Found?

Apr 1, 2010

I am attempting to create a script for Grid job submissions. I have most of it completed but when testing I've run into some problems.

How it works is that I have 2 wrapper files, one is the top of the script, the other the bottom, the original script imports commands for the middle.

Basically this is what is to happen:
cat script-start.sh >> workerscript.sh
echo commands >> workerscript.sh
cat script-end.sh >> workerscript.sh

workerscript.sh gets created with no problems but when it is run I get:
export: command not found

I think that the new script is not calling bash which gives the problem. I don't know how to fix the problem though because I have the shell set in the script-start.sh.

#!/bin/sh - tried /bin/bash, same result
export PROJECT=/......
export PROJSOURCE=/......
