http://unix.stackexchange.com – Some background: I am new to scripting and wrote a simple Bash script in Windows using Notepad++. cxStopAllServicesOnSERVER.sh #usr/bin/bash cd "/some/path" echo "Hi. Logs can be found at "`pwd`"/cxStartStopLogger.log" echo "["`date`"]*** STOPPING ALL SERVICES ON SERVER ***" >> "cxStartStopLogger.log" exit Now after uploading it and setting the required file permissions, I tried executing it as follows: bash-3.00$ cat cxStopAllServicesOnSERVER.sh #Let's have a look at the code. #usr/bin/bash cd "/some/path/" echo "Hi. Logs can be found at "`pwd`"/cxStartStopLogger.log" echo "["`dat (HowTos)

bash or sh 32 weeks 3 days ago

I am some new to the programming world but starting to get hang of it.

My question is,what shell should I use bash or sh (Ubuntu uses dash for sh) Is the one faster, users more memory etc?

Example scripts

Code: #1 for I in {1..10}; do echo $I; done

#2 for I in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do echo $I; done

#3 for I in $(seq 1 10); do echo $I; done

#4 for ((I=1; I <= 10 ; I++)

going through advanced bash scripting guide example 3.3 running a loop in background, i found this :

#!/bin/bash # background-loop.sh for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 # First loop. do echo -n "$i " done & # Run this loop in background. # Will sometimes execute after second loop. echo # This 'echo' sometimes will not display. for i in 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 # Second loop. do echo -n "$i "

I am trying to determine the location of bash interpreter on my Solaris system and I am a bit confused. When I type:

echo $SHELL

The resulting path is:

/bin/bash

And when I type:

which bash

I get:

/usr/bin/bash

Can anyone please explain this discrepancy?

$PATH error (possibly) 38 weeks 4 days ago

Upon opening Terminal I get the following message:

Code: -bash: /usr/bin/manpath: No such file or directory -bash: /usr/bin/perl: No such file or directory -bash: grep: command not found -bash: grep: command not found -bash: grep: command not found -bash: grep: command not found I searched other threads for similar problems and I think I have a $PATH issue

I enter

Code: echo $PATH

I'm trying to write a bash script to install PostgreSQL server on a Debian 6 VPS.

I am specifying path to my command in the file /etc/profile:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/app/cpn/bin

My command is located in:

$ which ydisplay /usr/app/cpn/bin/ydisplay

So, when I performing "echo $PATH" output is looks like:

$ echo $PATH ...:/usr/app/cpn/bin

And everything is OK, but when I am trying to launch my command via SSH I am getting error:

$ ssh 127.0.0.1 ydisplay $ bash: ydispla

This question is a sequel of sorts to my earlier question. The users on this site kindly helped me determine how to write a bash for loop that iterates over string values. For example, suppose that a loop control variable fname iterates over the strings "a.txt" "b.txt" "c.txt". I would like to echo "yes!" when fname has the value "a.txt" or "c.txt", and echo "no!" otherwise.

I have a script on a server-A

Script-A

#!/bin/bash -l echo "script-A.sh" | change-environment.sh

When I ssh onto server-A and execute it, it works fine. However, when I

ssh user@server-A ./script-A.sh

Script-A executes, but throws an undefined variable error in change-environment.sh.

Guys, when i am executing the following script I am getting following error.

Code: -bash: test.sh: command not found

Code: $ test.sh -- script name
