Would Like To "echo" A Line, "read" Reply, Then Execute The Reply: How In Bash?

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.

Best regards,

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

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

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

i have been trying to get this peice of code to work but i cant seem to get it to work.
im just starting out coding and kinda poking around in the dark to get this resolved, any help would be much appriciated, thankyou

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

This is my script and the syntax to run this script is give ip and next will be the file or script you want to perform on remote server



#!/bin/bash

# The private key used to identify this machine
IDENTITY_KEY=/home/adnew.pem

syntax()
{
echo "Syntax: Ec2.sh server_ip scriptFile]"
echo "For example: ./Ec2.sh server_ip scriptFile"
exit 1
}

if [ $# -ne 2 ]
then
echo not enough arguments
syntax
fi


echo "Running script $2 on $1"
ssh -ttq -i $IDENTITY_KEY ec2-user@$1 sudo -i 'bash -s' < $2
exit
exit
echo "Done"



on script file i have give for testing

touch /root/test
ls /root/test
exit
exit

it makes the file but do not show the ls output by giving error


tcgetattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device

exit


what I have to do ??

hi
I try to assign return from a _error_handler_function to a variable
this is just a test( dummy test ) not a really case


#!/bin/bash
logfile="/dev/shm/log.err"
exec 2>$logfile
_err_handler(){
v=$(cat $logfile|grep dummy|wc -l);
rm $logfile
echo $v
}

trap _err_handler ERR

x=$(dummy);
echo "x value is $x "
z=$(notrap)
echo "z value is $z"


expected output :
bash-4.1$ sh test2.sh
x value is 1
z value is 0


what is wrong here and how should I fix?

thanks in advance

I want to And search grep shell

but It's hard to grep variable


---------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash


if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Ussage: phone searchfor [...searchfor]"
echo "(You didn't tell me what you want to search for )"

else

pass=0
find=""

for idx in $*
do
if [ -n "$idx" ]
then
if [ $pass -eq 0 ]
then
find=$(egrep "$idx" mydata)
pass=1

else

find=$("$find" | grep "$idx")

echo $find
fi
fi

done

if [ -z "$find" ]
then
echo "There is no such thing"
else

echo $find | awk -f display.awk

fi

fi

-----------------------------------------------------

there is one error : command not found

in find=$("$find" | grep "$idx")

how can I grep variable and store it into variable?

Ok yes this is a homework assignment BUT I am NOT looking to have the answers given to me. I am in the 6th week of my first Linux class ever and we are in our few weeks of beginning scripting. I have some ideas of what to do or where to start but not many and no one to bounce any ideas off...we are using UNIX Bash shell so any others I have no clue. The scenario is that I need a script that searches all my users home directories for bad words. I need the script to report to the screen certain info like username and word found and path. It should ask a user if it is good or bad and if bad be put into a file of list of bad file names, if good remove from list and no longer flagged by the script. What I have so far is wanting to somehow do a loop. I do know that if I do a grep -r -e kill -e steal /home/* I get a list of what I need. I also know that the list is separated by delimiters which I can pipe to get a variable for the things I need. I also know that I can put it to a file with a > filename.txt

What I have no clue is how to start a loop that would do this...

for each line in filename.txt
UNAME=...
LOC=...
TXT=...
echo "Username: $UNAME, Line with bad word found: $TXT, and Path and file name: $LOC. Is this a BAD file? (Y)"
Read YORN

if ["$YORN" = "Y" ]; then
>> (line of text from grep) badfiles.txt
fi

Next or whatever goes there...sorry if this is crazy I just really need some direction. I am trying to learn so please don't give me the answer...that will do nothing for me and I will not be able to explain the code I came up with.
