http://www.unix.com – Hi All, Here is the problem: I have done a c++ code in Visual Studio 2010, it's a simple project that only have one main function which takes 2 parameters: an integer and a file that stores data. Now, I am asked to write a shell script in linux to execute my main function. I asked my professor about how to do this, he replies: "Let’s say you’ve created an executable called ‘test’ that takes two arguments ‘file’ and ‘id’. Then your script would be: #!/bin/bash test $1 $2" my questions are: 1. is "test" the name of my cpp file or the (HowTos)

How to Call a Function 38 weeks 2 days ago

Hi

I have created a function in a Shell Script test.sh

Code: function fnTest()   {         echo "My first Method   } I have called this function in my test.sh

Code: cat abc.txt | grep "test" echo " test" fnTest But while running the shell script i got the following error:

./test.sh: line 5: fnTest: command not found

Well, this is a very crazy issue, and I'm scratching my head to find a solution.

This is a simple code to tranfer a file, in my main script I need to add a conditional statement (IF/THEN) like the below example:

Code: #!/bin/bash if [ 10 -gt 0 ]; then   ftp -inv "192.168.1.10" << EOFTP   user "username" "password"   put app.log  

Hi

I have a bash script which takes parameters

Code: sh /tmp/gdg.sh -b BASE-NAME -n 1 -s /source/data -p /dest/data/archive -m ARC gdg.sh will scan the /source/data and will move the contents to /dest/data/archive after passing through some filters.

First I write a configfile with all my parameters like this

path="/home/test/"

I name it test.conf.

Then I write a shell script with this content, name it test, and make it executable with chmod +x.

#!/bin/bash #read the config file .

I have the following bash script lines in a file named test.sh.

Code: #!/bin/bash # # Write Date to cron.log # echo "Begin SSI Load $(date +%d%b%y_%T)" # # Get the latest rates file for processing. # d=$(ls -tr /rms/data/ssi | grep -v "processed" | tail -n 1) filename=$d export filename echo "The file name is $filename."

When I execute ./test.sh

Problem 1:

I need to create a shell script the takes three arguments and echo's out "There once was a ____that____who like to_____" The arguments go where the blanks are.

Problemt 2:

-Do an LS and store the listings in a file

-Open the file in emacs.

Hello I'm very new to Linux and shell scripting so I only know basic stuff. I'm making a script with the purpose of finding the longest string or word in a file.

Hi, doing exercises in A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming by Mark G. Sobell. One of the exercises involves a script that is passed in the name of an environment variable.

So lets say I have an environment variable $test that I exported with value "testing".

So lets say the script is named foobar, and is invoked:

I am trying to make a script that will execute different things by the input

Input:

Code: #/bin/bash echo "Test script" read cake if [ "$cake" == "1" ] then     echo "cake it is" fi Output:

Code: 1 : bad variable nameake test.sh: 8: test.sh: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "then")
