Querying Up Jobs In A Multi-core Environment, Via A Shell Script

Hi,
I am looking for a simple shell script that allows for sftp to be run from the server to another server (Windows). I would like the script to be passed parameters suchas destination server, Id, password, Directory structure/folder name, file name etc...
Need some help to know how to start with and it would be great if someone help me with any sample sftp shell script

Hi

I'm focusing on getting my head around interactive v non-interactive shells, both non-login and login. Basically what scripts are run and how local and global variables behave.

I'm pretty much there except for 'non-interactive login shells'. I understand that 'non-interactive' shells are started when a script is run. However, if I start my script with #!/bin/bash --login, then a 'non-interactive login' shell will be started.

In my mind I would have expected this to be the same as logging in from scratch, albeit without a user\password prompt. In this case I would have thought that any exported variables from the parent shell would be blown away. This doesn't appear to be the case. The 'non-interactive login' shell appears to inherit the environment of its parent 'interactive' shell.

Can anyone explain the purpose of a 'non-interactive login' shell and how they behave in this regard.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Mike

I would like to tar up some system logs with core files as a normal user through a script. However these core files are owned by root.

Of course I get "cannot read directory ...: Permission denied"

Is there a good way to grab these core files through a script? From searching around, I get that the best way is to modify the sudoers file, then run the script with sudo. Is this considered the safest and best way?

Thanks!

Please tell me for shell script..
I m writing the script.
In that script i written the 1 function and in that function i have to write the contents in existing file
so i write,
cat > /etc/puppet/manifests/init.pp
{
ensure => present,
}
.
But it caanot write the changes in ssh machine
so what i can do in my script?
Please help me...

So I created this big script and want to ask for username and set a variable, however if the username exist in the username variable then continue with script otherwise ask the user to enter his name.

Flow:
-- start script "Enter User Name"
-- ask user to input username
-- if username is blank or different value then put that username in $USERNAME variable
-- then continue with the rest of the script

-- next time this user runs the script it will have his name loaded so he just presses enter to continue with the script.

-- If it is NOT the same user then, new user can erase existing input and enter a new name.

Hope it makes sense...

Thanks in advance for the help.

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,

Hi guys I just started learning Linux, Need some help writing the script for the following

1. An argument of the form-6 sets the script to display the first 6 lines of the succeeding file(s). the default should be 5.

2. Anything else of the form "-x" should produce an error message

3. For a file name, display the first _lines of the file

Hello,
I'm working on a shell script that needs to read the a file (file1) a batch (read 2000 lines at a time) and then write those lines to seperate file which I'm using to run ldapmodify command. I need to check some other file size and once this file less than 200kb, i would need to run second batch and so on until file1 is empty.
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
set -x
filesize=200
server=10.11.xxx.xx
filename=fileimport.txt
taofile1=687686.txt
taofile=/var/opt/$taofile1

stty -echo
echo -n "Enter password: "
read passwd
stty echo
context="cn=user1,ou=org1,ou=org2,o=org"
if [[ -s "$filename" ]];then
for lines in $filename
do
head -99997 fileimport.txt >> ldapreadd.ldif && sed -i '1,+99996d' fileimport.txt
if [ -s ldapreadd.ldif ];then
ldapmodify -h $server -p 389 -D $context -w $passwd -v -x -f ldapreadd.ldif &> /dev/null
echo "LDIF script is running. Please wait..."
sleep 60
if [ -f "$taofile" ];then
taofilesize=`stat -c %s ${taofile}`
# if [ "$taofilesize" -ge 200 ];then
while [ `stat -c %s ${taofile}` -ge 200 ]
do
echo " Driver is processing LDIF file. Please wait..."
sleep 60
done
fi
rm -rf ldapreadd.ldif
fi
done
else
echo "$filename file is empty. Exiting script..."
exit
fi

I have 2 issues here. first one script is not reading exact lines as specified. Some times its reading more lines some times less lines. Second issues once it run the first batch, script is exiting. Please advise.
