Why Cat Command Is Used While Logging Into ISQL

Hi Team,
Please advise why cat command is used in the below statement to login to ISQL

Code:
cat <<exit | $SQL_DIR_ISQL/isql $DS_NAME $DB_ID $DB_PSSWD

Instead we can simply give like below right..?

Code:
 $SQL_DIR_ISQL/isql $DS_NAME $DB_ID $DB_PSSWD

Please advise... I am using kshell

Why Should I Always Use Chmod When Not As A Root User

System Info:

I have normal user in CentOS 7 whose name is "mostafa" (the name of the account).

I naturally have another user called root with all privileges. User "mostafa" is put into sudoers file, too.

The OS is installed in VmWare, so the system is all mine.

Problem:

Now I create a file with touch file.sh and put a command in it, but when I want to run it with Code:
sudo ./file.sh

, an error is shown that the command Code:
./file.sh

does not exist. But if I Code:
 sudo chmod 777 ./file.sh

then it gets run. My question is that, why should I use Code:
chmod 777

when I myself have created the file, and I am in sudoers.

Can anyone explain me why shuold I still use Code:
sudo chmod 777

when the creator of the file is me.

Stdout, Stderr And Redirection -- What Is The Correct Order Or Format ?

Hi all,

Been reading on stdin, stdout and stderr and encounter 2 questions, hope gurus here can advise.

0 = stdin
1 = stdout
2 = stderr

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:53:42 SGT 2014 > cat test5.sh
#!/bin/bash

echo "Please enter value for name :"
read name
echo "Your name is $name."

echo "Next echo will be a syntax error"
ehco

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:53:46 SGT 2014 > test5.sh 1> output.txt 2> error.txt
Noob

Sun Dec 21 03:54:56 SGT 2014 > cat output.txt
Please enter value for name :
Your name is Noob.
Next echo will be a syntax error

Sun Dec 21 03:55:23 SGT 2014 > cat error.txt
/home/alan/scripts/test5.sh: line 8: ehco: command not found
Sun Dec 21 03:55:26 SGT 2014 >

Which so far all is good and the correct way to output everything including error to a single file is

Code:
Sun Dec 21 03:59:14 SGT 2014 > test5.sh > output.txt 2>&1


Q1) How is a command being interpreted in linux , the sequence in which it is interpreted ? from left to right ? right to left ?

Shouldn't it be

Code:
test5.sh 2>&1 1>output.txt 
or 
test5.sh 2>&1>output.txt ?

Regards,
Noob

Please Interpret The Meaning Of This Command

Hi ,

Please explain what the below command means ..


Code:
if grep -c -i Y $INIFILE > /dev/null

I know what is the use of grep, it is used for finding a character or string in a file. But i could not understand the above form of grep command.

I am new to linux so this might be a simple question, but please throw some light on it.


Edited

And also please explain why they are creating a file in null in the below command

Code:
cat /dev/null > $DATA_DIR/$DATAFILE

I have installed vmplayer using
Code:

Now when I try to open vmplayer on it, it does not load 'Virtual Network Device'
and shows error in terminal
Code:
Failed to build vmnet.  Failed to execute the build command.

When I check status of vmware, it shows
Code:
Module vmnet not loaded

If I try to run
Code:
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all

It gives me following error.
Code:
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/modconfig-2NfFeS/vmnet-only'
Unable to install all modules.

I am not able to open VMplayer, please help me to open it.

Thanks

Command Manual Working But Not On Cron

Hi

When i run this command manually on Centos 6.6 it works:

Code:
/usr/bin/find /backup/ -type d -mtime +1 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf

but as a cron job it doesn't as i can see a folder with files there from Mar 28:

Code:
55 5 * * * /usr/bin/find /backup/ -type d -mtime +1 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf

And here are the logs from cron that it is executing this at the correct time :

Code:
Mar 30 05:55:01 server CROND[9526]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/find /backup/ -type d -mtime +1 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf)

Any ideas why?

Thanks
