shell script-running two perl script based on input

hi,i am using ubuntu and generally use VI editor to write shell scripts. i am required to write a shell script to copy the text of one file(a text file) into another file.While the script executes, the shell shall ask the user to input the source filename and destination filename (both these files have been initially created by using "cat" command in the terminal).

Hi, I have one shell script where it will copy all files to a directory which is already present,

For example : i have directory DIRA and DIRB, and my shell script will expects user input to specify which directory should files must be copied. this shell scrip i am running every day using cron job, how can i specify the user input which shell scripts requires.

Thanks, AK

Hi, below is the script in ksh and i am having issues with if condition. It takes in one argument as input and executes the shell script. The problem is in if condition in shell script. If input is given as 1 it works out well. But if input is given as 2 or something else the script is failing to go into if condition.

I got a problem to read standard input file, to edit the standard input, and to write the output to other file.

I would like to know how to automate an already made shell script (all the steps of all the commands done on a specific folder) by utilizing a list (a .txt) of all folder names that the shell scripts goes and executes

For example:

In the working folder called main/ there are subfolders named folder1, folder2, folder3.....folder100 and shell script shell.sh.

vi shell.sh

Code: perl au

Hi, I have an HTML form through which I get some text as input. i need to run a shell script say script.sh inside a perl-cgi script named main_cgi.sh on the form input. I want to write the contents of the form in a file and then perform some command line operations like grep, cat on the text and thn output the result as HTML.

I am not able to find out what's gone wrong with the script.

Got struck while trying to write a shell script which should automatically give input.

While running a script for eg: (adpatch.sh)

It Prompts for Multiple inputs like:

Do you currently have files used for installing or upgrading the database installed in this APPL_TOP [YES] ?

I am using a shell script to automatically search network access points, and in airodump you use ctrl + c to stop the search, and I am wanting to it cancel the search but keep my shell script running. Since I am wanting to do user input after I am done searching for wifi networks.

I have made a shell script(/bin/sh) that starts a perl script (that I haven't made my self) that's starts a ssh session. The ssh session uses a private/public key to login so no password is needed. The Perl script works perfect.

But when I put it in a cronjob (crontab) the ssh connection asks for password. This makes the scripts fail. Seems like ssh keys are not working while running in cron.
