  • mkdir error in bash script

    - by Don
    Hi, The following is a fragment of a bash script that I'm running under cygwin on Windows: deployDir=/cygdrive/c/Temp/deploy timestamp=`date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S` deployDir=${deployDir}/$timestamp if [ ! -d "$deployDir" ]; then echo "making dir $deployDir" mkdir -p $deploydir fi This produces output such as: making dir /cygdrive/c/Temp/deploy/2010-04-30_11:47:58 mkdir: missing operand Try `mkdir --help' for more information. However, if I type /cygdrive/c/Temp/deploy/2010-04-30_11:47:58 on the command-line it succeeds, why does the same command not work in the script? Thanks, Don

  • How to launch git bash window with particular working directory using a script?

    - by holocronweaver
    How can I launch a new Git Bash window with a specified working directory using a script (either bash or Windows batch)? My goal is to launch multiple Git Bash windows from a single script, each Bash terminal set to a different working directory. This way I can quickly get to work after booting computer instead of having to open Git Bash windows and navigating each one to the correct working directory.

  • Python IDE on Linux Console

    - by Henrik P. Hessel
    This may sound strange, but I need a better way to build python scripts than opening a file with nano/vi, change something, quit the editor, and type in python script.py, over and over again. I need to build the script on a webserver without any gui. Any ideas how can I improve my workflow?

  • Messy bash variable

    - by Kyle
    I'm writing a script to ssh in to a list of machines and compare a variable to another value.. I've run into a problem (I have a couple workarounds, but at this point I'm just wondering why this method isn't working). VAR=ssh $i "awk -F: '/^bar/ {print \$2}' /local/foo.txt" ($i would be a hostname. The hosts are trusted, no password prompt is given) Example of foo.txt: foo:123456:abcdef bar:789012:ghijkl baz:345678:mnopqr I'm assuming it's a problem with quotes, or \'s needed somewhere. I've tried several methods (different quoting, using $() instead of ``, etc) but can't seem to get it right. My script is working correctly using the following: VAR=ssh $i "grep bar /local/foo.txt" | awk -F: '{print \$2}' Like I said, just a curiousity, any response is appreciated.

  • Bash: Check if file was modified since used in script

    - by Thomas Münz
    I need to check in a script if a file was modified since I read it (another application can modify it in between). According to bash manual there is a "-N" test which should report if a file was modified since last read. I tried it in a small script but it seems like it doesn't work. #!/bin/bash file="test.txt" echo "test" > $file cat $file; if [ -N $file ]; then echo "modified since read"; else echo "not modified since read"; fi I also tried an alternative way by touching another file and using if [ "file1" -nt "file2 ]; but this works only on a seconds accuracy which may under rare conditions not be sufficient. Is there any other bash-inbuilt solution for this problem or I do really need to use diff or md5sum?

  • Why Does Piping Binary Text to the Screen often Horck a Terminal

    - by Alan Storm
    Imaginary Situation: You’ve used mysqldump to create a backup of a mysql database. This database has columns that are blobs. That means your “text” dump files contains both strings and binary data (binary data stored as strings?) If you cat this file to the screen $ cat dump.mysql you’ll often get unexpected results. The terminal will start beeping, and then the output finishes scrolling by you’ll often have garbage chacters entered on your terminal as through you’d typed them, and sometimes your prompts and anything you type will be garbage characters. Why does this happen? Put another way, I think I’m looking for an overview of what’s actually happening when you store binary strings into a file, and when you cat those files, and when the results of the cat are reported to the terminal, and any other steps I’m missing.

  • SVN - Get all commit messages for a file?

    - by davidosomething
    Is there a way to get a nice list of all commit messages sorted by file? Something like this (as you can see, I don't want the messages specific to a certain file, just show messages for the entire commit if the file was part of the commit, repeats ok): -- index.php 2010-01-02 03:04:05 * added new paragraph 2010-01-01 03:04:05 * moved header out of index.php into header.php * header.php initial check-in 2009-12-31 03:04:05 * index.php initial check-in -- header.php 2010-01-03 03:04:05 * added new meta tags 2010-01-01 03:04:05 * moved header out of index.php into header.php * header.php initial check-in Additional information: svn log filename does something similar, but I want it to do this: get a list of files that have changed between yyyy-mm-dd (r2) and yyyy-mm-dd (r4) (i.e. svn log -q -v -r 2:4 changedfiles.txt strip extraneous crap from changedfiles.txt svn log each file in that list, as in: svn log < changedfiles.txt combinedlog.txt (just pseudocode, i know svn log takes arguments not input, but can't be bothered to write it out)

  • bash command history update before execution of command

    - by Jon
    Hi, Bash's command history is great, especially it is useful when adding the history -a command to the COMMAND_PROMPT. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to log the commands to a file as soon as the Return key is pressed, e.g. before starting the command and not on completion of the command (using the COMMAND_PROMPT option would save the command once the prompt is there again). I read about auditing programs like snoopy and session recorder like script but I thought they're already too complex for the simple question I have. I guess that deactivating that script logs all the output of the command would lead already in the right direction but isn't there a quicker way to solve that probelm? Thanks, Jon

  • Iterate through XML with xmlstarlet

    - by hendry
    I have the following XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <test-report> <testsuite> <test name="RegisterConnection1Tests"> <testcase name="testRregisterConnection001"></testcase> <testcase name="testRegisterConnection002"></testcase> </test> <test name="RegisterConnection2Tests"> <testcase name="testRregisterConnection001"></testcase> <testcase name="testRegisterConnection002"></testcase> </test> </testsuite> </test-report> And I want the output: RegisterConnection1Tests,testRregisterConnection001 RegisterConnection1Tests,testRregisterConnection002 RegisterConnection2Tests,testRregisterConnection001 RegisterConnection2Tests,testRregisterConnection002 I'm confused as to how to show the children as I expected xmlstarlet sel -t -m 'test-report/testsuite/test' -v '@name' -v '//testcase/@name' -n $1 to work, though it only inputs: RegisterConnection1TeststestRregisterConnection001 RegisterConnection2TeststestRregisterConnection001

  • How do I test if a variable is a number in bash?

    - by Flávio Amieiro
    I just can't figure out how do I make sure an argument passed to my script is a number or not. All I want to do is something like this: test *isnumber* $1 && VAR=$1 || echo "need a number" Any help? UPDATE: I managed (whit Charles' help) to do it, but I'm not yet sure it's the best way to do that (even though it worked on my tests). This is how it ended up: [[ $1 =~ "^[0-9]+$" ]] && echo "numero" && exit 0 || echo "nao numero" && exit 1

  • How to feed data over STDIN to multiple external commands in ruby.

    - by Erik
    This question is a bit like my previous (answered) question: How to run multiple external commands in the background in ruby. But, in this case I am looking for a way to feed ruby strings over STDIN to external processes, something like this (the code below is not valid but illustrates my goal): #!/usr/bin/ruby str1 = 'In reality a relatively large string.....' str2 = 'Another large string' str3 = 'etc..' spawn 'some_command.sh', :stdin => str1 spawn 'some_command.sh', :stdin => str2 spawn 'some_command.sh', :stdin => str3 Process.waitall

  • OptionParser python module - multiple entries of same variable?

    - by jduncan
    I'm writing a little python script to get stats from several servers or a single server, and I'm using OptionParser to parse the command line input. #!/usr/bin/python import sys from optparse import OptionParser ... parser.add_option("-s", "--server", dest="server", metavar="SERVER", type="string", help="server(s) to gather stats [default: localhost]") ... my GOAL is to be able to do something like #test.py -s server1 -s server2 and it would append both of those values within the options.server object in some way so that I could iterate through them, whether they have 1 value or 10. Any thoughts / help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • logrotate compress files after the postrotate script

    - by Thomas
    I have an application generating a really heavy big log file every days (~800MB a day), thus I need to compress them but since the compression takes time, I want that logrotate compress the file after reloading/sending HUP signal to the application. /var/log/myapp.log { rotate 7 size 500M compress weekly postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/myapp.pid 2>/dev/null` 2>/dev/null || true endscript } Is it already the case that the compression takes place after the postrotate (which would be counter-intuitive)? If not Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do that without an extra command script (an option or some trick)? Thanks Thomas

  • Check if a php script is running

    - by Nirmal
    I have a script that listens to a jabber server and responds accordingly. Though it's not supposed to stop, last night it did. Now I want to run a cron job every minute to check if the script is running, and start it if not. The question is, how do I check if a particular script is still running? Some solutions have been posted here, but those are all for Linux, while I am looking for a Windows solution. Any ideas please? Thanks.
