I have no idea what scripts are, or how they work. I tried sudo make/sudo make install, with no luck. how I install this program using the shell script file?
I want to install a list of packages in the file. i tried using yum install in a shell script, while read -r line do

I need a shell script that will add the users name and date to a file when the user has modified the file, these files are within a group and only accessible to this group. But we need a way for people in the group to know who and when the file was last modified.

I am supposed to take some small files, and print them to a specific printer, such that the small files are concatenated into one file. The file name has to be included in the file that gets printed.
Should I be looking to concatenate the files into one file with the file names included, and then print them?
something like: -printfunction -printername < file*

I'm trying to create a script that will back up my databases daily, then keep a weekly version, then keep a monthly version. I know there's a script out there that will make a mysqldump on the first of the month and call that the monthly version, but that doesn't seem right to me. So I was thinking maybe I could put the date +%s in the file name (along with other things like the name of the db, etc) and then do some kind of if statement based off of that date in the file name in order to take the monthly (and weekly) versions.

Does anyone know how to make the file colours appear different for each file type in the shell like happens in ubuntu?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a number of text files throughout my /home/pjs/Documents directory tree that have execute permissions set. Almost all of my file names have spaces in them. I am trying to write a shell script that will look at each file in my Documents directory, find the ones that have execute permissions set, and run the command chmod 644. Of course, I don't want the command run on the directories.
The following script *doesn't work*, but might serve to illustrate what I am trying to do:
#!/bin/bash
for x in "$(ls -R)" do
if [ -f "$x" ] && [ -x $x ]; then
chmod 644 "$x"
fi
done
I want each file and directory name to be placed, one by one, in the variable $x, and then tested with the "if" conditionals.
The first problem seems to be that, although the command "ls -R" does produce a complete list of the files and directories I need, they are not placed, one by one, in the variable x like I want them to be.
Also, I think I should use the shift command so that the option -R doesn't get included as one of the values of the variable $x, but I can't figure out where to put it.
So if I have a file with a list of files:
file.txt
file1.a
file2.b
file3.c
and I wanted to perform a script using a loop or recursively on each of those files, is there any way that I could do this?
I saw that xargs might be able to help me.
Here is sorta what I want to do:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cat file.txt | xargs?? # Some commands to turn each line into a variable
for var in ${@}; do # Some way to get each of the files
# script on each file
I'm using Ubuntu minimal install (With no window manager). What is the quickest and easiest way to upload a file somewhere? Something like a script to pastebin would work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a small script that uses the find command to look for a log file named: backup_log.txt. And then uses the first value in the log file as a variable in the script later on. However, say there are two or more of these log files located in different directories, how would I let the user choose which log file will be the one to use, and then make that (fullpathtofile) the value of the variable that will be used.

I am trying to execute a 4GE file using command something like this "/usr/bin/ksh path of the file with some arguments " ex: /usr/bin/ksh /home/abc.4ge S "./xyz" . I am able to execute the 4GE without this "/usr/bin/ksh" specifying in the command which basically runs in ksh shell itself. But when i try to run it exclusively using the path of the shell it gives me an error something like this "/usr/bin/ksh: /home/abc.4ge: cannot execute". I did check the permissions and all the file has execute permission.

Im using an if statement in the bin ash shell and it isnt working.
Code: if (( 5000 > $available_blocks )) then echo "WARNING Disk space low, "$pct_used" is used" fi
I don't think its a problem with the if. When i use that code it creates a file with name of the value $available_blocks instead of using the '>' sign for comparing the 2 numbers.
