Ubuntu :: Create Text File Which Lists Sales - Bash Script Shows Total Sales Of Each Month?
Mar 8, 2011
Firstly i'd like to introduce myself before I ask my question, i am currently studying a "Network Operating System 2" course, and in the syllabus the professor decided to use Ubuntu Linux for us. This is a first for me and I am truly greatly interested in the OS. It seems like a solid system once you get to know the deep foundations of it. The professor has already given us an assignment, but I feel its not fair as its just a bit too much from out of what he taught us .. He did not teach us what he is asking for. He asked us to create to a text file which lists the Sales from two Salespersons, and each one will have an amount for each month .. So 12 entries for each salesperson.
Using that text file, we should write a bash script which would read the values from the above text file, and produce a "Monthly Sales" text file, which shows the total sales of each month (combined from both the salespersons). I would like to ask for some guidance, some help on how to start. It's just that he didn't teach us any commands about this matter.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a very simple tool I could use to manage sales leads?
I said CRM in the title of this thread, but I don't really need anything that full-featured. All I want is something to help me manage my job search by keeping track of which jobs I have applied for, when I need to phone particular agencies again, and that sort of thing. I have tried installing a couple of Apache-based apps, but they have turned out to be too complicated to set up. I couldn't find a desktop app in the repos, but maybe I have missed something. A cloud-hosted service would probably be OK, so long as it is within my current �0 budget.
how i can use the cal command so it displays the current month and the next month, i know you can use cal -3 9 2007 to show the previous current and next but i just want to display the current and next.
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.
I am attempting to create a form in bash that would display multiple radio lists with an OK and cancel button on the bottom. I tried using the command line tool dialog, which is really nice. But it won't let me do multiple radio lists on the same form.
I need to get names of all installed packages in 2 machines and save them in 2 text files, then I want to compare these 2 files to know the differences between 2 files and from that I could know the differences between 2 machines. Is it possible to do that and what program I could use?
I have an internal hard drive and an external hard drive, both with about 350 GB of data. The data came from the same source, but over the last couple of years, different people have moved files around to different directories, and some files have been deleted. Now I want to merge all the files onto the internal hard drive. I estimate that 80% of the files on the external hard drive are the same, so I don't want to copy 290+ GB of data over when I already have it.
Therefore, I need a way to find just the files on the external hard drive that don't already exist on the internal one. In other words, I need to create two lists of file names irrespective of directories and compare them, selecting only the file names that exist in one list OR the other. I've Googled for solutions but can't find anything suitable. There are ways to create text files of the file names and compare them with diff, but they have to be in the same order, and since these files are in vastly different directories, that won't work.
on the mac there is a piece of software to change the system clock so it shows the stardate instead of the month, day and year. Is there something like that for Ubuntu? I think it would be pretty cool to have a star trek themed desktop
my isp is putting a max bandwidth in my area and I need to monitor my downloads and uploads per month. Is there anything that has a gui that is easy to set up and just shows the amount of data downloaded and uploaded per month. Also if possible to do a pop up if you set a maximum bandwidth amount.
I'm looking for a powerful network traffic monitor that can do all of the following (or at least a combination of tools that can do the following):
Tell me how much data was downloaded/uploaded on an interface this month and the previous month tell me how the traffic was used throughout the monthshow which internal IPs (IPs in the 192.168.1.0/24 network) used how much traffic show which ports/protocols on those IPs used all that traffic
Hhow LIVE traffic flow statistics that can tell me total speed of traffic going through an interface as well asshow which internal IPs (IPs in the 192.168.1.0/24 network) are using how much of the traffic show which ports/protocols on those IPs are using that traffic
This tool will run on a linux router through which all my internal PCs are connected to the Internet. This means the tool(s) need to work with NAT (traffic being forwarded and not necessarily destined for the interfaced being monitored).
The distribution being run doesn't have a package manager so any packages or dependencies have to be manually compiled and SCPed over file by file. For this reason, the tool/tools need to be simple (things like vnstat, not things like ntop that have their own web interface).
I know that vnstat can tell me the first bullet point so it's only there incase there's a tool out there that can do everything. If there's a tool that can only do the second or third bullet point, that's great too - I'll just keep using vnstat and look for something else to do the other task.
I need applet which shows the total data usage (In+out) (of the current session or since the uptime) on the panel.I searched a lot, but everytime I had to click somewhere to see my data usage. I don't want that. I want my data usage displayed regularly on the panel.
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 can do multiscan documents using xsane and the scanner and create multipage PDF. My next wonderment was how would you create it so you can search for text in the PDF file. I am assuming the scanner is really just creating an image file. And the reader needs text? I did find a decent OCR web based solution. It looks like it would be a lot of work to put something like that together.
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
it worked and showed me the Line witch was written in my file but now my problem is how am gonna use that line as a path i mean for example if am gonna execute a linux command on that file like dpkg -i /path/to/the/file how am gonna export it from The $Line variable and use it after the command.
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?
I have a text file which stores the list of files & dir, I want to get only file's extensions from this file & want to store it in another file.eg, below is the file's contents & from it I want to get the extensions sh, pl & h & want to store it in another file. Also I don't want directory list.
A scripts/services_restarter.sh A scripts/svn post_commit scripts A scripts/tmp/
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 a file with 5000 lines. it is a list of books authors, series and titles. all lines start with the author names, than there is a dash (-) than the series name, a dash again and the title of the book.
The problem I encounter is that sometime there is a series, sometime not, and as I try to enter this list in a database, I wanted to create a cvs file to import into mysql.
ex:
The best would be to be able to add in the second line, a "space dash space" just after the author name, but how to make sure it does not do it to the first line as well.
If I could separate all line with 2 dash, (grep ?) then I would be able to do a simple replace, and change the single dash into two.
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.
