Ubuntu :: Creating A Text File To Start Up Sudo Bash Without Going To The Terminal?
Feb 26, 2011
I just set up apache on my PC and I cant change the permissions by right clicking because "I'm not the owner" and instead of using the chmod command on every file that I would like to edit I would just like to write a script on a text file, save it to my desktop so all I have to do is double click on it and boom I can edit all my files, etc.
I have written a tiny script which switches between 2 CPU frequency throttling governors. Now I need to assign it to a shorcut key though "Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts".
Here is the script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash if [ `cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor` = 'ondemand' ] then
[code]....
As you can see this script involves sudo. I know that usually running commands with sudo requires "Run in Terminal" option for a shortcut, but in "Keyboard Shortcuts->Add" there is no option to run command in terminal. When I double click on the script and choose "Run in Terminal", then it functions as it should. How can I make this script execute by doing "Run" and not "Run in Termnal"?
Is it possible to create a text based menu layout in bash were it is possible to browse through. The menu list should look something like this:
---------------------------------------- user: root colour: blue number: 4 animal: dog ----------------------------------------
At the start the cursor should blink at the r from root so that text can be entered. When pressing the enter the cursor should go to the b from blue and so on. the imported thing is that all the text is visible also beyond the position from the cursor.
My terminal text is unreadable. Where as the default output would usually fill half the screen it probably fills around 1/20th now. Basically it looks like the text is 1px in size. I was about to install a graphics driver (nvidia) but doh I can't see what I'm typing... I can't start gdm even after memorising the process of logging in and starting gdm (I think gdm is failing to start anyway) I'm using the default xorg.conf provided with the LiveCD;
I want to write a bash script which can open a new gnome-terminal window. In that gnome-terminal window, it should goto a specific directory and edit a file using Vi Editor.
I need a little help creating a ftp script that will take connection and file details from text files.For example:ftpscript.sh - script that looks for details and does transferftpparams.txt - ftp server connection details in single line csv formatftpfiles.txt - files that need to be transfer, one file per line.I have tried using awk with no success
I'm trying to create an iso file in a terminal with the following command: $cat /dev/sr0 > nameofdisk.iso I get the following error cat: /dev/sr0: Input/output error I already checked and my optical drive is indeed /dev/sr0. I've hunted google a few hours trying to figure it out. Does anyone know why I'd be getting this error?
I created text for a bunch of "#!/bin/bash" scripts in MS SQL Server. Being on a Windows machine, I used Ultraedit to create text files for a few examples. After copying the files to a machine running Ubuntu 10.10, I changed group and owner, and made them executable. However, they won't execute. I get "file not found" errors. But, if I paste the content into text files created in Ubuntu, it runs fine.
I need to Read a path of a file witch is written in Text file i used this
Code:
FILENAME=$1 while read line do echo $line done < $FILENAME

I'm having problems with Tomboy. I have a few hundred note files and I need to go through all of them and replace all instances of "<link:broken>a</link:broken>" with "a". Is there a bash command I can use to do this?

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.
write such script (bash script). I have some text file with name filename.txt I must check if this file contains string "test-string-first", I must cut from this file string which follows string "keyword-string:" and till first white-space and save it to some variable.
For example. File: PHP Code: PHP Code: Start 15022011 Eng 12-3-42 SN1232324422 11 test-string-first SN322211 securities HH keyword-string:123456321-net mark (11-22)
I want to write a bash script to parse a text file with the following lines and set variables for each line so that I can use them in the rest of the script.
Timestamp=123456789 Company=ABC Company Server=Server Recipient=Joe Smith Email=joe@abc.com
simplest way to read each line one at a time for everything before the =, set that to a variable name with the value equal to everything after the =
For example, I have a text file with data which lists numerical values from two separate individuals
Code: Person A 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 1100 1200
Person B 1200 1100 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100
How would I go about reading the values for each Person, then being able to perform mathematical equations for each Person (finding the sum for example)?
I have a script which checks on my jobs that run on some cluster.The script, "script.sh", takes as an input the job-id for the job to be checked. Sometimes I have 100s of jobs and I want to check them all (for successful completion.) I could put these job-ids into a text file, "job-id.txt", each id in its own line.For each job-id, the script would ask me few questions (with a yes or no answers) to see if I want to do some other checks for each job-id.I want to know how may I direct my job-ids from this text file into the script one job-id at a time.
Is there a way to process individual characters one-by-one from a text file in Bash, or is that hoping for a little too much from this lovable old clunker?
I am trying to think of a logic where my file contains some data I had to read and do some processing. Issue is that file contains data multiple times. For example:
::::::::::: var1=value1 var2=value2
[code].....
I have to read first paragraph of variables and do some processing and then move on until the end of file. Variable names are same in whole file but for each paragraph the value is different. I can't think of a logic to attain this task. How can I do it? It should be a simple bash script, but I am not able to work out.
I have a script almost working except for 1 thing. What I'm trying to do is read a file that has the files that need to be FTP'd using a bash script. I have everything working except the reading of the file. It works outside of the ftp script I've wrote but once I put it in the FTP script it doesn't.
Here's the Script:
#Here's where the problem is that I know of
I've been playing w/ the exclamation points to see if that could be the problem, but so far no luck.
I have a text file that contains a single word and I want to write a bash script that will read the word from the text file... The following is my incorrect attempt, as it assigns the name of the textfile to the variable as opposed to the word stored within the textfile:(assume I have a text file value.txt that has its contents a single word, say wordone)
Code: #!/bin/sh for f in value.txt do echo $f done
so the output of the above script is value.txt, however I want it to be wordone.to summarise: how do I assign the value of the word contained within a textfile to a variable?
In order to make this conversion I have to use a text editor. This is tedious. Is there an easier way to do it, like some program I can run from the Linux or OSX terminal?
