Duplicate Folder Creation While Using Mkdir In A Script

Hello,

I am setting up a linux server for gaming and I am using a script to update the files automatically and create a folder with a certain name.

Code:
# !/bin/bash

# A convenience function, to save us some work
update_server() {
	# Read the app id and the directory into a variable

	APP_ID=$1
	DIR=$2

	# Create the directory ( if it does not exist already )
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		mkdir -p "$HOME/$DIR"
	fi

	# Uh-oh, it looks like we still have no directory. Report an error.
	if [ ! -d "$HOME/$DIR" ]; then
		# Describe what went wrong
		echo "ERROR! Cannot create directory $HOME/$DIR!"

		# Exit with status code 1 ( which indicates an error )
		exit 1
	fi

	# Call SteamCMD with the app ID we provided and tell it to install
	./bin/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir "$HOME/$DIR" +app_update $APP_ID validate +quit
}

# Now the script actually runs update_server ( which we just declared above ) with the id of the application ( 4020 is Garry's Mod ) and the name of the directory we want the server to be hosted from:

update_server 4020 "gmodserver"

exit 0

When I run this script, it creates 2 folders on my server : gmodserver and gmodserver? There is no files downloaded in gmodserver. All the files are downloaded in gmodserver?

I looked for a few hours on how to solve this problem but I have no idea what the added ? might be so I am lost as to what to look for. Could you help me on figuring this out?

Thank you.

edit : I am using ubuntu 15.04 x64 if it makes a difference.

Rsync Script Problem

Hi all,

I am trying to write a script that syncs files from source to destination. I have one centralized server that can ssh to any servers without pw. Now when I run the script, it can ssh to source server perfectly fine, but you need to enter password for destination server. Was wondering how I can clean this up before I start using case statements

Below is a sample I wrote

#!/bin/bash

#This scripts syncs shit

echo "Type in ID: "
read ID

echo "Type in Server : " #source server
read S

echo "Type in Destination Server: "
read DS

if [ $S == 9 ]; then
ssh -t "root@"$S"webserver1" "rsync -av /home/rlui/"$ID "root@"$DS"webserver2:/home/rlui/";
ssh -t "root@"$S"webserver1" "rsync -av /home/rlui/tmp/"$ID "root@sl"$DS"webserver2:/home/rlui/tmp/"
exit 1

where S and DS are cluster numbers

I apologize in advance if I am not clear on anything

How To Use Static Libraries? Please Help Lol

https://code.google.com/p/wavelet1d/...ar.gz&can=2&q=

The above link is where I downloaded *.cpp(s) and the libraries.

If you "untar" the package, in "examples" directory, there are some demonstration files. What I wanted to do was to make an executable file out of "wavedemo1.cpp".

I modified the code in "wavedemo1.cpp"; Code:
#include "wavelet2d.h"

to Code:
#include "wavelet2s.h"

, then placed the header file "wavelet2s.h" (from /wavelib/src/linuxstatic) and the modified "wavedemo1.cpp" into my working directory.

Inside the working directory, I ran the following command

Code:
gcc -L/home/mario/wavelet/wavelib/linuxstatic -lwavelet2s wavedemo1.cpp -o wavedemo1

Then I get the following error messages.

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/mario/wavelet/wavelib/linuxstatic/libwavelet2s.a when searching for -lwavelet2s
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwavelet2s
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm not sure what went wrong with my approach. This is my first time trying to use libraries on linux and it's giving me really tough times.

I would appreciate your help, please let me know if you need more details to explain things.

Thanks.

Tips On Using Bash Script To Edit A Windows Text File

I have a bash script executing on an AIX server to a windows share directory to update a windows text file. Most of the file is edited as expected but I have 3 issues that I am not sure how to resolve.

1. Windows text file contains a double backslash (\\) and the \\ is being written back as a single \ which corrupts the file.
2. I am not getting the last line of text in the file written back out.
3. Some lines of text are not written back out completely.

Here is a snippet of my bash script:
cp $Directory/Somefile $Directory/Somefile.$(date +'%Y%m%d')
cat /dev/null > ${HOME}/temp.out

while read -r inpLine; do
patternFound=n
echo ${inpLine} | grep -q 'SOMEPATTERN='
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
patternFound=y
echo "##${inpLine}" >> ${HOME}/temp.out
echo "SOMEPATTERN=newValue" >> ${HOME}/temp.out
fi

if [ ${patternFound} = "n" ]; then
echo ${inpLine} >> ${HOME}/temp.out
fi

done < $Directory/Somefile
mv ${HOME}/temp.out $Directory/Somefile

Problem With Running Bash Script

Hi

I have just started to use Linux on my Raspberry Pi to host a home automation server & I'm having a problem when trying to run a bash script.

The script in question is to turn off my Viera TV & is as follows
Code:
#!/bin/sh
curl -i \
-H "Accept: text/xml" \
-H "Cache-Control: no-cache" \
-H "Pragma: no-cache" \
-H 'SOAPACTION: "urn:panasonic-com:service:p00NetworkControl:1#X_SendKey"' \
-H "Content-Length: 200" \
-H 'Content-Type: text/xml;charset="utf-8"' \
-X POST --data '<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" s:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> \
<s:Body> \
<u:X_SendKey xmlns:u="urn:panasonic-com:service:p00NetworkControl:1"> \
<X_KeyEvent>NRC_POWER-ONOFF</X_KeyEvent> \
</u:X_SendKey> \
</s:Body> \
</s:Envelope>' http://192.168.1.87:55000/nrc/control_0/

If I run this from the command line it works fine but when I try to run it from within the Home Automation application it returns error code 32512 which I've seen elsewhere is actually exit status 127 & basically down to not being able to find the program to execute.

Permissions are fine & I've tried using the full path name for both curl and the script itself but I still get the error. Has anyone any idea what I need to change as this looks to be a pure Linux (or rather my misunderstanding of Linux) issue rather than the home automation program

Thanks

Python Ftplib

hello all,

please help me with python ftplib. i was trying to copy files from my linux machine to a windows server using ftplib. everything was working good. but i'm only able to copy files from the same directory the script is. how do i copy files from a different directory? i always get "file not found error message". here's my code :

Code:
tester_name = str (socket.gethostname())
def upload(ftp, file):
    ext = os.path.splitext(file)[1]
    if ext in (".txt", ".htm", ".html"):
        ftp.storlines("STOR " + file, open(file))
    else:
        ftp.storbinary("STOR " + file, open(file, "rb"), 1024)



parse_source_path = ('/path/to/where/i/go/')
parse_source_file_list = os.listdir(parse_source_path)

ftp = ftplib.FTP("server_IP")
ftp.login("username", "pass")

folder_list = []

ftp.dir(folder_list.append)

if str(tester_name) not in str(folder_list) :
    ftp.mkd("%s"%tester_name)
    ftp.cwd("%s"%tester_name)
    for files in parse_source_file_list :
        print files
        upload(ftp, files)


else :
    print "later"

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.

How To Handle Parameters In A .bashrc Function

I want to create a simple bash function (in .bashrc) that takes in one parameter (a directory name) and tars all the files inside of that directory into a specific directory in /home (we'll call that destdir). The name of the tar should be the same as the directory parameter.

For example, I want to be able to type into the terminal "task directory_name".

I tried this but it didn't work:

Code:
function_name() {
   cd $1
   tar czf /~/destdir/$1.tar *

   return 0
}
alias task=function_name

What am I doing wrong?

Rsync, Reliable "copy And Paste" Type Of Backup In Case Things Break?

What I did in windows was create images of my drive and restore them.

in linux I am running

Code:
rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/home/*","/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder

and this creates a folder for me with all my files, and apparently saves meta data like permissions and paths...

Since I'm using arch and things break sometimes,I'm booted into a CLI with errors and cannot figure my way out since I'm a noob... would I be able to just delete my entire root and replace it with the rsync backup without a problem?

How To Define Variable In `ssh`

I need to use `ssh` to send command to different computers to run programs. Can I define a variable of `Directory` and `program` in front of this shell script? Then, I do not need to write them every time? The following is my shell script.

`host_list=("c15-0330-10.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-11.ad.mtu.edu" "c15-0330-12.ad.mtu.edu")`
`# I have multiple programs`
`# program=c("L_1","L_2","L_3")`
`ssh -f "${host_list[0]}" 'set Directory="/home/campus27/zwang10/Desktop/AWRR/program/power/vmodel_1/nprot/K_10"; cd $Directory && nohup Rscript L_1.R> L_1_sh.txt;echo "The job L_1 is finished" |mutt "zwang10@mtu.edu" -s "The job L_1 is finished"';
ssh -f "${host_list[1]}" 'set Directory="/home/campus27/zwang10/Desktop/AWRR/program/power/vmodel_1/nprot/K_10"; cd $Directory && nohup Rscript L_2.R> L_2_sh.txt;echo "The job L_2 is finished" |mutt "zwang10@mtu.edu" -s "The job L_2 is finished"';
ssh -f "${host_list[2]}" 'set Directory="/home/campus27/zwang10/Desktop/AWRR/program/power/vmodel_1/nprot/K_10"; cd $Directory && nohup Rscript L_3.R> L_3_sh.txt;echo "The job L_3 is finished" |mutt "zwang10@mtu.edu" -s "The job L_3 is finished"';`
