Programming :: Simple Bash To Write Files By Year To A Log File

Jan 31, 2011

I have a folder of 2 many files that the old ls just hangs.

I am trying to write some log files such as;

I don't mind doing one at a time, but I am just playing and even getting the listing I am not getting the date stamp, I have the following;

That does create the file, but all the files look like this;

So basically it's just sticking that ls inside the log file and not actually running the ls, so how can I use the above type to get files just created per year?

Programming :: Write An If Statement For The First Line Of A Text File Bash?

Feb 15, 2011

At the moment I got my md5sum checking working which I write to a text file and see below.

If the md5sum works it will write the output to check2.md5 test.txt: OK

If the md5sum fails it will write test.txt: FAILED

How do I write if statement to check the output whether or not the md5sum failed or not ?

check1="/home/ops/Desktop/test1/check1.md5"
check2="/home/ops/Desktop/test1/check2.md5"
cd /home/ops/Desktop/test1
md5sum test.txt > $check1

Programming :: Bash Checking For File Write Completion Before Acting?

Jan 20, 2011

I have a bash script that checks for contents in a folder every 15 seconds and then acts on it's contents. This works great for the average size file however on very large files it starts acting on the file before it's completely written. Is there a facility in bash shell to get a file complete signal or such? here is trigger to launch a larger script.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
while true
do
$HOME/bin/hpgl.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Programming :: Simple Bash Script Is Not Running All Of The Commands?

Jun 14, 2010

I am running a simple script that I copied from slug.ceca.utc.edu/docs/2009-3-26-linux-server-health.pdf and edited with the names and paths of my own servers. I don't know much about scripting (re: nothing) but I wanted to try and be efficient in my new role as a Linux Sys Admin. The script was saved to root's home directory and runs as part of root's crontab once a week. The script runs with no problem, but it doesn't actually seem to run all of the commands contained within. It skips some in the middle and the end and I don't know why. The script itself is this:

Code:
#!/in/bash
uname -a > /tmp/server.txt

Programming :: Bash-code To Rename Files Based On Config File

Apr 12, 2010

I'm writing a bash shell script that among various other things will traverse through a directory with hundreds of files and rename those who match a pattern found in a config file. It's expected that only about one in ten files will actually match, and those who don't, will simply just be ignored for this purpose.

This should for instance cause the file "dBase program file December 1987.prg" to be renamed "Clipper source code December 1987.prg", and conversely "C++ source August 1996.cpp" to be renamed "C source code August 1996.cpp" etc.A sample file such as "Random Data File.dat" should not be renamed here since it's not mentioned in the config file..What is the quickest, most elegant way to do this in bash?I am thinking of using bash's built-in regex matching combined with the /bin/rename utility, but don't quite know how to get started to catch this..I guess there are plenty ways of doing this in perl and elsewhere as well, but since this has to integrate into a pre-existing bash script, that's what I'm looking for.Anyone out there with a spare moment to offer a hint in the right direction?

Programming :: Bash Script: Sort Files Into Directory Based On Data In The File Name?

Sep 28, 2010

I have very little linux experience. And need some help with a bash script. I need to a script I can set cron to run to sort files out of a holding folder into final folders. It doesn't necessarily have to be bash, but I think it would be sufficient for this. File names are formatted as such when created: Dest-Date-Time-CID-Destination# I want the files to be moved from a all in one holding folder to a folder structure like this.

.../storage/year/month/day/Destination#/VarX(type)/hour/CID/'File'

I would need an if/else if/else statement to say if Dest = A set VarX = B If for example the file name was

infinity-20100927-17:00-1112223333-4445556666.wav

I would like the above file to end up moved from

.../holding

to

.../storage/2010/09/27/4445556666/Inbound/17/1112223333/infinity-20100927-17:00-1112223333-4445556666.wav

So the script will need to make directories based on information in the file name which is delimited by single dashes. Then move files from the holding folder to the newly created "sorted" folders.

Programming :: Write A Bash Script To Call From A Terminal?

May 24, 2010

I am trying to write a bash script to call from a terminal that will change the terminal title. I am using ubuntu 10.04. The script is meant to be used in the gnome-terminal.

Here is what I have:

Code: #! bin/bash
echo "New title: c"
read title
echo "33]0;$titl07c" -e

[Code]....

it doesn't work

I think the problem has to do with modifying PS1 inside the bash so i tried this:

Code: echo `export PS1="[e]1;u@h:wa]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}u@h:w$ "` and it still didn't work.
