How Can I Get My Simple Script Working

Hello.
How can I write an Script that enter my password for "sudo" command automatically?
for example, I want to run a command that need root permission and when I write it in a bash script, it ask me "sudo" password for user but how can I automate it?
Can it possible for other program like logging via SSH too?

Hi,

I installed ghostscript via yum package manager. Later I wanted a newer version of ghostscript and compiled it from source. "make install" placed the gs executable file under /usr/local/bin/gs. This works if I run the command with absolute path, but if try to run gs, the shell will output

"-bash: /usr/bin/gs: No such file or directory"

if I echo the path variable it will display

/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

If i run whereis it will give me the correct path
gs: /usr/local/bin/gs

How do I make it work so that typing "gs" will run the executable file from the /usr/local/bin/gs?

(I am using Centos 6)

Thanks.

I don't know why I want this, but is there a way the Code:

sudo aptitude install <package>

or Code:

sudo aptitude upgrade

command could bypass the confirmation stage? It's always occurred to me shouldn't there be some command parameter for install/upgrade that does the work?

Let me give an example. Suppose I want to install Variety, the wallpaper changing application. Now, I know that I want to install the software with all the dependencies it requires to install/run - the entire package. So, isn't it obvious that I would press Y when aptitude shows the info what it's going to download/install and asks for permission?

I can't, however, imagine scenarios when seeing that information I'd change my mind and press N to abort the install/upgrade procedure.

I would like to use yum to install package , but how do I know the package name that I should use , for example , if I want to use ldapsearch , I tried "yum install ldapsearch" , it doesn't work , how can I know what package name to install , what package includes this command - "yum install packname" ?

thanks

Hi all,
I have a script where every line needs to be prefixed with sudo.
I was advised to run it as $ sudo /path/to/file.sh

This script needs to be scheduled in crontab to run. If I run it as above, will I be prompted for a password?
Also, one of the lines in the script is;
scp -r root@rem_server:/source/dir /local/dir
Does that mean I will have to provide two passwords: one for sudo and one for root?

Thanks,

hello sir
I m new in Linux. I m trying to install ns-allinone2.33 package in Ubuntu 10.04. according to step which I follow. i have already extract ns-allinone2.33package in home folder. bt I m getting problem in installing dependencies. when i write the command "$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libxmu-dev gcc-4.3", i m getting the message like "unable to fetch some archive, maybe run apt-get update or try with -fix-missing?". so because of that next steps are not working. please help me out.

I need to compare a value with different fixed value. Below is the code concept I implemented in my bash script but its giving me error.
Here "a' is the nameserver value that I extract using command line from /etc/resolv.conf. I did not put command here.

#! /bin/bash
a=1.2.3.4

if [ $a == 1.2.3.4 || 5.6.7.8 || 8.9.1.4]
then
echo " You have correct ntpserver"
else
echo"wrong ntpserver"

fi

Am I comparing the value correctly or any suggestion?

Thank you
