Basic Bash Script

Code:
PREFIX=192.168.1
OCTET=1
while [ $OCTET -lt "255" ]; do
    echo -en "Pinging ${PREFIX}.${OCTET}..."
    ping -c1 -w1 ${PREFIX}.${OCTET} > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
       echo "OK"
    else
       echo "Failed"
    fi
    let OCTET=$OCTET+1
done

My question is, in the penultimate line, why is it OCTET, and not $OCTET, with a dollar before it, meaning, the variable?

What if it were written:
Code:
let $OCTET=$OCTET+1

Like in C++ (I think) or Python or whatever?

Simple Ping Bash Script

Hello, I am trying to implement this script, but for some reason, it limits to pinging 192.1681.1 and then 192.168.1.2 infinitely.
Any idea what is wrong with it? Thanks!

Check Empty Variable Without Comments

Hello,

They gave me this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

# Write error message on stderr and die
function die() {
  echo "$@" >&2
  exit 1
}

# Load var from properties files
function load() {
  for propertie in "$@" ; do
    [[ -f "${propertie}" ]] || die "load() : \"${propertie}\" don't exist !"
    while read ; do
echo "${REPLY%=*}"
echo "${REPLY#*=}"
      [[ -n "${REPLY%%=*}" && -z "${REPLY#*=}" ]] || die "load() : Variable \"${REPLY%%=*}\" is empty!"
      eval "${REPLY%%=*}"=\'"${REPLY#*=}"\'
    done < "${propertie}"
  done
}

load "manage_srcds.conf"
echo "SRCDS_TICKRATE=$SRCDS_TICKRATE"
echo "SRCDS_SCREEN=$SRCDS_SCREEN"
echo "SRCDS_SRCDS_GAME_NAME=$SRCDS_GAME_NAME"
echo "SRCDS_MAXPLAYERS=$SRCDS_MAXPLAYERS"

but, return:
Quote:
###################################################
###################################################
load() : Variable "###################################################" is empty!

cat manage_srcds.conf

I just wish that there was no empty variable excluding those who do not have integer.

Help With 'CASE'

Hi guys,

i'm beginner with Unix, I tried my best, but I Really don't know how to finish it .

here's my problem : I have to do something like Student system - student's name | subjects | mark |credits.

after starting script it will ask you for Student's name, then which subject, then the mark will appear.

It's a homework, and I have my own idea how to solve it, but cannot finish it, i don't want complete solution, just a help!

Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Students name"
echo -n "Enter student's name: "
read name
echo
case $name in
Example1|Math) echo "C" ;;
Example2|Programming) echo "D" ;;
Example3|WWW) echo "A" ;;
Example4|Economie) echo "-" ;;
esac

I don't now how to bring together case with second things which is "enter subject".

I appreciate any help

Parameter $1 Isn't Returned After A Case (bash Scripting)

Hello everyone,

I recently started using "function" and "case" in linux but I came across a slight problem

My code:

Code:
function Return
{
echo $1
}

case "$1" in 
 ""       ) echo "give parameters please";;
 [0-9]*   ) echo "No numbers please";;
 *        ) Return;;



So whenever the first parameter is a simple word I would like it returned, but it seems like there is no returned string (empty space)

Also I know I can just write "echo $1" instead of Return, but I'd like to use a function for this.

Can anyone tell me why the function doesn't return $1? Thanks!

Help With Applying Passing Parameters

i need to complete this exercise but my code has some issues
HERE is the PRoblem:
Create a script that can accept ANY amount of numbers from the command line. Process the numbers one at a time, where numbers greater than 10 print “large”, numbers less than or equal to 10 print “small”
E.g. process 5 10 15 would print
small
small
large

and here is my code so far
if [ $@ -le "10" ]
then
echo "smaller"
else
echo "bigger"
shift

if [ $@ -le "10" ]

Better Way Of Writing This Command Of Leaving Multiple Blank Lines

Hi All..

I need to give four lines of gap(Freespace) between two command outputs.

what i did was below

Code:
echo "" >>$LOG_DIR/$LOG_NAME
echo "" >>$LOG_DIR/$LOG_NAME
echo "" >>$LOG_DIR/$LOG_NAME
echo "" >>$LOG_DIR/$LOG_NAME
print "***************** LEVEL 2: Truncating  Tables: Success:  tables Truncated ***********************" >> $LOG/$LOG_NAME
echo "" >>$LOG_DIR/$LOG_NAME
echo "" >>$LOG_DIR/$LOG_NAME
echo "" >>$LOG_DIR/$LOG_NAME
echo "" >>$LOG_DIR/$LOG_NAME
# Run the load scripts.
echo "***************** LEVEL 3: Loading Dupe Check Tables: Success: Dupe Check tables Loaded***********************" >> $LOG/$LOG_NAME


Is there any better way of writing this command to leave multiple lines between two commands.

Please advise...

String Concatenation In UNIX / Shell Script

Hi,

I am new to UNIX - i wrote this below script based on the requirement. But i am stuck at the concatenation (at the second last step of the code)

The below code is working fine till the concatenation(second last step) - I need to concatenate Hello to the "physId" e.g. - The filename is UM123456789.20150503 - i am extracting M123456789 and i need to append "HELO" to it at the end. But as per the below script - when i am using the concatenation, it is overwriting the M123456789 and the output thus becomes HELO456789. I am trying to get the output as - M123456789HELO - where am i going wrong?

on the terminal i checked - echo $0 and it gave -> /bin/sh. Hence i wrote the below code.

#!bin/sh
absolutePath=/abc/data/abc_unix/stg/decrypt/*.*
filepath=$(echo ${absolutePath%.*})
echo "$filepath"
filenameext=$(echo ${filepath#/abc*decrypt/})
echo "$filenameext"
file=$(echo ${filenameext#.*})
echo "$file"
extract_physId=$(echo ${file:1:9})
physId=$(echo ${extract_physId})
echo "$physId"
key="$physId"HELO
echo "$key"
