How can I run the following be run from a shell script, these are shell commands and mysql commands.
# mysql -uroot -ppassw
> use mysql;
> create database cacti;
> GRANT ALL ON cacti.* TO cactiuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'cactipw';
# mysql -u root -p -b cacti < /usr/share/cacti/cacti.sql
We've converted several older unix servers from HP UX to VM's running RHEL 5.The database applications and everything else run great, however we have a group of programmers who need to be able to use character based, wyse60 sessions using tiny term. I'm having trouble making the cool elements in bash work in this emulator, and even more trouble simply replicating what was available in the /sbin/sh used in HP UX?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe panel plugin from xfce4-mixer has a bug:s icon doesn't update as the volume is changed. This bug has already been reported.One curious thing about it is that, if you right click on the volume icon on the panel, go to 'Settings' (or 'Properties', I don't know, mine is in Portuguese) and then close the window that pops on the screen, the icon is updated.Is it possible to open and close the settings window automatically with a bash script? Like this, I could associate this script with the volume keys of my keyboard, so that the icon is updated as the the volume is changed.

Programs like matlab/octave and I'm sure many other ones allow you to start typing a command, and then hit Up to recall the last command that starts with the typed characters. Common linux shell bash doesnot do this. Is there a different shell that does? I'm not asking how to find out the last command, I'm asking if there's a shell that's a little friendlier.

Ok, so I have a few web apps that need to run shell commands. Heres a great example of one:
Code:
This is a PHP script getting my system volume. Herein lies the problem... www-data doesn't have permission to do this!
I changed my apache config to use MY account as the web user, and it does in fact work the way I want it to.
Obviously, I dont want to leave apache running as me, and want it to keep using www-data.... heres my question... how can I give permission for www-data to execute certain programs?
I have a command which on the command line needs to look like this
rlam -if3 '!pvalue -H image1.jpg' > image2.jpg
Nevermind what rlam or pvalue do ... they are part of a program package I am using. The above command works on the command line, and also when written verbatim in a bash shell script.
My problem is: in the script I wish to replace image1.jpg with the content of a variable, e.g.
IM1=image1.jpg
How to I get the script to insert the value of $IM into the command when the pvalue part of it needs to be quoted?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a script that connects to a server and executes some commands on there. Something like this:
#!/bin/sh
telnet remote_machine
cd /home/some_directory

I have a few questions regarding HTML, UNIX and Javascript. I've been tasked with creating a fairly simple webpage that takes a few inputs. Each input must correspond to an argument in a UNIX command running on a server.On a UNIX server we have a script (.ksh) that takes 3 arguments. The result of the script is a data file which is FTP'ed to an external server. Let's forget about the FTP portion for now. I would like to know where I should begin.What I know so far:
1) I will need HTML to create the webpage. Skill level is high
2) I will need Javascript to make my webpage more interactive. Skill level is high.
3) I will need to understand the UNIX environment. Skill level is high.
I upgraded from Slackware 64 13.1 to Slackware 64 13.37 a week or so ago. I am now having a perceptible delay of a few seconds when launching commands from the command line, say for example: screen -R.

Is there an easy way to prevent the logging of commands run into syslog as post-shell expansion?
I.e log a command of "ls *.log" as just that, rather than "ls a.log b.log c.log d.log" It makes rather a mess of the log files.
I am new to Minix. I'm so impressed by the speed of the system. It looks elegant, I like it. However, I have a question about the shell. In Linux, while using a shell, up and down arrow keys can be used to navigate through previously executed commands. On Minix with the sh shell, I can only get numbers printed out on the screen. I remember I chose a US-std keyboard when installing. Is there any way to use the arrow keys to navigate through previous commands on Minix?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI started another thread about this to get help booting into openSUSE after Fedora rewrote my bootloader and deleted all other entries. I managed to fix it but I never did find out why the following commands caused my system to boot to the grub shell instead of the grub menu.
Code:
grub
root (hd0,3)
setup (hd0)
quit
reboot
Can anyone explain to me why these commands caused my system to boot directly to a grub shell? It's as if there were no /boot/grub/menu.lst files for it to use, but after I got everything back to normal, the files were still there.
If it helps, this is how the drive was setup before and now, except Fedora was on /dev/sda4 and has since been deleted.
Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
