Whenever I login to a server via ssh -X, I want that all 5 minutes a script displays a graph.The script shows the image via display (imagemagick). But what I'm not sure of is how to redirect the display output to my remote screen when this script is executed as a cron job. I can use display -display server but I don't know how to determine server via the script.
View 1 RepliesI need to display a message graphically using a messagebox or textbox through bash script. However the message should be keep changing every 4 secs . I input the message from a file and use "gxmessage" to display it .
I do not like this solution and it looks ugly too , because it is visible that the message box is getting killed and forked every time..Can't I use the same gxmessage message box for all the messages just by putting new messages and hence refreshing the same box.Any idea , anything other than gxmessage will do , if a solution is somewhere else.
Can't seem to use tcsh as my login shell under CentOS 5 as I used to (if I specify /bin/tcsh as my start-up shell, the windowing system doesn't come up), so am logging in under bash then switching to tcsh on top of that, but it won't allow display access from tcsh for my programs. Gives the "cannot connect to display" error that usually xhost + is the solution for, but xhost doesn't help in this case (won't even run under tcsh, says unable to open display "0.0"). $DISPLAY is set in .cshrc. Must be something simple, but can't seem to find a direction to head?

View 2 Replies View Relatedi am using putty to connect to the linux server and i am using nano as my text editor to write a bash script.
this is my script:
echo "Please enter your Username"
read userName
userName= grep $USER /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f5
echo "Welcome " $userName | cat >> output.txt
the problem i have is that when i enter my username, the output (my real name) does not display in the output.txt. instead it displays in putty. so when i run my script in putty it shows the message to enter username and after i enter my username my real name appears below it. i want it to show in the output.txt

I am working on a custom hand-held device which runs a variant of Ubuntu Linux, 2.6.18. I have a set of 4 binary files (for oprofile) which have been known to run in this environment, but when I copy them to /usr/bin, I can't run them: I get this message;root@ldogberry:/usr/bin# ./ophelp-sh: ./ophelp: not foundThis happens when I specify the full path, when I run from the /usr/bin directory -- it happens no matter what. Bash even does command-line completion on the file -- and then turns around and instantly claims the file is not found.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried searching for this, but everything, for pages and pages, shows me the `if -e filename`. That's not what I'm looking for, at least I don't think I am. I am working on a script that will search a directory for certain file names and increment a variable by one for each result returned. Each time I search this file name, the file found will also be deleted. I would like this script to be run about every 6 hours or so. We'll call this script A.
I also have a script that runs daily that I would like to tack the count to the end of the text file that it outputs. We'll call this script B. I'm confident that I would want to store the count from script A to a text file to be called in by script B, but don't know how to do so. Here's what I have so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
SD=0#Resetting variable count for testing purposes, removed this before release #Below, Smith is used for testing purposes as this is the newest backup with instances found
find /cust_backups/Smith -name *Modified Script* && SD=$[SD+1] ;
find /cust_backups/Smith -name *Bitdefender Online Scanner* && SD=$[SD+1] ;
find /cust_backups/Smith -name *ccleaner.exe* && SD=$[SD+1] ;
find /cust_backups/Smith -name *HJT.exe* && SD=$[SD+1] ;
[Code]...
Now, for those of you that know what you're doing, you're already shaking your head because you know that, no matter what, at the end of the script $SD will end up being 14. The problem is I don't know how to tell bash that if there is a result returned, increment by one. If there is no result returned, move to the next command. Beyond that, I'll need to know how to call the text of a file in to a variable so I can plug it in to the text output of script B.
Im looking for assistance to create a script to find and replace files.Probably best if I give you the background Our server uses a specific application which stores user data, each user data account (a folder on the server) has a file called 'Profile.xml' this file gets updated and replaced about every 30 mins similar to the fashion logrotate works i.e. Profile.xml.1 Profile.xml.2 -> .10
What we experience is that if the application crashes unexpectedly while it is doing its user profile refresh task we end up with sometimes a few hundred Profile.xml files which end up 0kb(should be around 4kb) , and our server see's these as corrupted profiles and will not see them. Our fix is to go back thru and rename the Profile.xml.1 to be Profile.xml (or sometimes up to Profile.xml.5 to Profile.xml) We want a script we can manually run to automate this process The server tree is
/mnt/array1/username/db/Profile.xml
/mnt/array2/username/db/Profile.xml
etc
etc
What we have so far is a script which finds the affected files
find /mnt/ -maxdepth 4 -name Profile.xml -size -1k
This will display a list of affected profiles, and we can append it to a text file with >>output.txt on the end.
if 'pattern' in 'location' equals '0kb' then 'cp' Profile.xml.1 Profile.xml
I am trying to find a nightly backup if it was successfully copied over, rename it and curl, but it's always passing the check even if the file is older than specified. From the command line it does as it should. Example is here;

- nothing returned (good). Then I change the time

When I installed F11 it didn't have the i810 driver so it defaulted to VESA. I upgraded to F12 using preupgrade and thought it would re-detect the graphical hardware and didn't. I want to recreate xorg.conf for my computer (Toshiba Satellite A45-S25) so I can use Compiz and some 3D application but I can't find system-config-display. It's missing from the system and I don't know what package it belongs to so I can't re-install it.

I am currently writing some convenience methods for my terminal in my bash_profile and am sure if what I am writing is "the best way". I figure a good way to verify whether what I'm doing is right or not would be to find some source code of more established programs and see how they do it.My question then is, where can I find this code on my Mac? An example is, with Macports installed, where is the source code that opens the port interactive console when I type nothing but "port" in my shell?(I added Linux in the title even though I am on a Mac because I assume the answer would be the same for both)

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat kind of method to find the duplicates files on linux,
1.how to find just using the file name, sometimes i figure out people often to copy their files to another directory and i want to find out if there any same file name in the linux box.
2. what about if i want to find the duplicate files based on contents of the file, example is in picture file if users store picture files from digital camera first they just save the file name in default but when they want to give that picture to others they will rename it, i've been used method md5 for this situation in python script but it takes long time
I'm asking this question just to know to use bash script a lot in work and i want to test out fdupes at home, is fdupes use similar md5 scan to find duplicate files?
Is there any linux command to find out if a user exists? It should something like this: if user exists it returns 1, if he doesn't it returns 0.

I want to run some git commands on any sub directory that has a .git project in it. Getting to the directory is not my problem, its how to find them
What i want to do is execute
Code:
find -name .git
Then act on each response line that is printed out. E.G Navigate to the directory and run git status.
How do i use the output of the find command in the bash script?
i had a problem with the find command in bash (which i deem is close enough to a promming language, if not please move this thread :P). i tried to reduce the command to the problem. i want the backticks, or $() for that matter; to be evaluated by -exec of find, not by bash. is that a caveat of find?
Code:
$ find testd -exec echo `basename {}` ; #confused me
test
test/a
test/b
[code]...
edit: i found out whats causing this. `basename {}` gets evaluated by bash before find is invoked, returns {} and `find . -exec echo {} ;" is run. now my question is, how to escape this eveluation from happening before.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was messing around with fed 12 yesterday (only on a test installation) and i've hit a snag. I installed openbox and tint2, nitrogen, obconf etc so i could have a #!-style session at startup. It all worked fine until i installed pcmanfm and removed nautilus. The problem is that i can't display files in my home directory, either using pcmanfm, a reinstalled nautilus, or in terminals. Every time i try to point a file brower there it just seems to get stuck searching forever, until i kill it. Weirdly in terminator i can do an 'ls' to see visible files, but 'ls -la' causes the problem again.
ps i thought permissions might have something to do with it, so i did a 'chmod -R 777' as root. it changed permissions for quite a lot of the files but then froze again, and now the problem persists.
