Don't background them individually; background the whole lot

Now they will run one after another and you don't need to sleep

If you are trying to avoid running all these perl scripts concurrently
set up the perl scripts to accept an argument, then pass each one a time
delay when you call them.

PerlScript-1 20 
PerlScript-2 40 
...
PerlScript-n n*20 

The calling script will return almost immediately but the perl scripts
will delay any action for the specified time.  That way the time delay
is fully adjustable from zero to forever.

[CentOS] Shell Script: Simple array usage = bad substitution?

2009-06-19 Thread James Bensley
Hey Guys n Gals;

I have some arrays that I can't seem to expand correctly (if that's
the correct word?), imagine the following example:

#!/bin/bash
myArray=(First Second Third)

First=(Monday Tuesdays Wednesday)
Second=(One Two Three)
Third=(A B C)

for ((i=0;i${#myarr...@]};i++))
do
for ((k=0;k${#${myarray[$i...@]};k++)) #  Things go bad here!
do
echo ${${myArray[$i]}[$k]} # I understand this line
is won't work but it doesn't matter right now
done
done

So ultimatly we shall loop round each value in the myArray array and
print out the values in each array which has the same name as the
value in the myArray, array.

Where I have marked with a comment, the script stops with the error-

: bad substitution

I have looked on-line but I don't quite understand how I can correct
this? I have seen other people have this error for other problems but
not one like mine so I don't fully understand it? Can anyone explain
to me exactly what is going wrong and how I might correct it?

James ;)

How about this? Avoids the c=like for loop increments and just uses
 the array elements for the next loop ...

#!/bin/bash

Why have you custom black list separate?  Then when doing updates,
remove the current list, concatenate the update with the custom and
then put that in place.

This would presumably make it easier for you to manage your custom
stuff, but still be up to date.

Also you could try

for FOLDER in `find /usr/local/squidGuard/db -maxdepth 1 -type d`; do

instead of
find /usr/local/squidGuard/db -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read FOLDER; do

This is a classic mistake. It has two problems:
1) The list of files created by the embedded find can exceed the maximum
command length.
2) Directories with spaces in their name will be split by the tokenizer,
resulting in $FOLDER containing invalid or dangerous paths.

 instead of
 find /usr/local/squidGuard/db -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read FOLDER; do

This is the correct way to combine a shell loop with a program that
creates a list of files.

have any idea why?

#!/bin/sh

f=0 #Folder count
d=0 #Domains count (one per line in each file)
u=0 #Url count (one per line in each file)
t=0 #Total of domains and urls
x=0 #Temporary variable for calculations

if [ -f $FOLDER/urls ]; then
x=`wc -l $FOLDER/urls | awk '{print $1}'`

done

t=`expr $d + $u`

echo Number of categories: $f
echo Number of domains: $d
echo Number of URLs: $u

This is the ouput:

My guess is that because your variables all equal zero, it's possible
that something is wrong with:

find /usr/local/squidGuard/db -maxdepth 1 -type d | while read FOLDER;

stick set -x under your #!/bin/sh to see what's running and what's

More likely he's using a shell that runs the while loop in a subshell.

[CentOS] Shell Script Pointers?

2009-05-13 Thread James Bensley
Hey Listee's

I am trying to write a shell script to sort and compare my blacklist
for squidGuard with the nightly updates that come down in a tar ball.
It should be rather simple but I'm not to grate at this. The script is
to run nightly, it will download the latest blacklist tarball, un tar
it and then add any new entries to the existing black list. The
blacklists work by having a folder for each filtered category so the
folder db contains the subfolders adult, gambling, drugs etc
and each sub folder has two files, domains and urls (pretty self
explanitory). This is how far I have gotten (I haven't tested this
script yet as I haven't had a chance I have only gotten as far as
writting it, this is what I have so far:


#!/bin/bash
#This will be running from home directory

wget http://www.blacklistsite.com/blacklist.tar
tar -cxf blacklist.tar
cd BL

find ./ -type d -maxdepth 1 | while read FOLDER; do
SQUIDDB=usr/local/squidGuard/db/$FOLDER
sort_db($SQUIDDB)
comm -3 $SQUIDDB/domains $FOLDER/domains  $SQUIDDB/domains.missing
comm -3 $SQUIDDB/urls $FOLDER/urls  $SQUIDDB/urls.missing
cat $SQUIDDB/domains.missing  $SQUIDDB/domains
cat $SQUIDDB/urls.missing  $SQUIDDB/urls
rm $SQUIDDB/domains.missing
rm $SQUIDDB/urls.missing
sort_db($SQUIDDB)
done

sort_db(){
sort -f $1/domains  $1/domains.sorted
sort -f $1/urls  $1/urls.sorted
rm $1/domains
rm $1/urls
mv $1/doamins.sorted $1/domains
mv $1/urls.sorted $1/urls
}

Is it obvious I'm new to this? Hehe, I would also love to hear how
people would do this in a more efficient manner because obvisouly this
is pretty sloppy and as I said I haven't tested it yet so it might not
even run?!

Thanks, James ;)

Hi,

Do this by re-directing the output from your commands into a file like this:

[r...@imail pons]# /home/pons/tsmmonitor stgpool SDC-STAFF  outfile

[r...@imail pons]# /home/pons/tsmmonitor stgpool ISO-BACKUP-POOL  outfile

[r...@imail pons]# /home/pons/tsmmonitor stgpool ORACLE-DUMP-POOL outfile

[r...@imail pons]# /home/pons/tsmmonitor stgpool ORACLE-DUMP-POOL outfile

Note that the single  in the first line will create a new outfile 
that is it will create the file if it does not exist or over-write it if 
it does exist.

The double  in the following commands will append the output of 
those commands to the already existing outfile.

 Hi,

 Do this by re-directing the output from your commands into a file like
 this:

 [r...@imail pons]# /home/pons/tsmmonitor stgpool SDC-STAFF  outfile

 [r...@imail pons]# /home/pons/tsmmonitor stgpool ISO-BACKUP-POOL 
 outfile

 [r...@imail pons]# /home/pons/tsmmonitor stgpool ORACLE-DUMP-POOL
 outfile

 [r...@imail pons]# /home/pons/tsmmonitor stgpool ORACLE-DUMP-POOL
 outfile

 Note that the single  in the first line will create a new outfile
 that is it will create the file if it does not exist or over-write it if
 it does exist.

 The double  in the following commands will append the output of
 those commands to the already existing outfile.

 ChrisG


Actually  will also create the file if it doesn't exit.  Try it :)

[CentOS] Shell Script - Compare packages. rpm.

2009-01-26 Thread Tiago Dias
Hi,

 I need a script which makes the package compação rpm's through two
text files ...

 Since a file is the output of the command *rpm-qa  pkg.out *

 And the second file is a list of several packages rpm's, multiple
versions and architectures.

 My idea is to compare a package *x* file pkg.out with several
packages *y* of the file update.out and know whether a package and has a
larger version of the package *x* installed and with that I return I have a
package to be updated.

Does anyone can help me do this comparison?

OBS.: The servers do not have access to internet.

Here's an example of the packages described in the files:

Looks like you want to see what the update packages are without doing
the updates, and without an internet connection.  About 5 years ago I
would have suggest running 'rpm --freshen --test
packagename-from-update.out'.  Today, I'd suggest saving even more time
and just a local instance of mrepo.  Configure your yum repos
in /etc/yum.repos.d/ to point to the repository, and install the
yum-updatesd package to find out what the new packages are... Why
reinvent the wheel? ;)

Just for the fun (and did not really test it):

cat pkg.out 
| 
  awk ' { p=$1; n=match(p, -[[:digit:]]+); print substr(p,1,n); } '|
  while read PKG; dogrep $PKG[0-9] update.out; done

I will leave you as an exercise to sort the results by versions and head (or 
tail) to keep the highest one... ^_^
But, if your update.out file contained only the latest package (and not all 
different versions), that should work.

There is one problem with this approach, which is the assumption that
all users' primary group is the same as their login id - which I agree
is typically the RHEL way, but it doesn't have to be the case.  If
however you have users with their primary group set to something other
than the login id - e.g. admin or marketing - then you need to look
in the /etc/passwd file as well because these users don't appear in the
comma separated list outlined above.  To check the /etc/passwd file, you
have to determine the group id value, and then scan the /etc/passwd file
looking for that value in column 4.  This will give you a list of users
whose primary group is the group value you're interested in.

 The egrep is using a leading anchor (^) to make sure the grep matches the

My instinct is that by specifying the groupname as an argument as in:
 'getent group groupname',
 ( rather than asking for all groups with 'getent group', and then
(e)grep'ing, )
that the result would not match for users in the groups list.
But I may be wrong.  I have not looked at the source code.
 But I tested on my system and I did not see the behavior you
 warn of.  If I am correct about the getent program, then there
 is also the added benefit of avoiding the pipe.

In all likelihood the system follows the default approach of setting the
primary group to be the user's personal ground.  If that is the case
then you're correct in providing a simple solution as requested.  I just
wanted to make Tim aware that if his user's have primary groups other
than their personal groups - e.g. admin or marketing - then there
isn't a simple answer (not that the answer is all that hard).

Here's a script I knocked up to do it - although there can be
duplication and output formatting isn't perfect:-

#!/bin/bash
#set -x
# $1 is the group to test
if [ $1 =  ]; then
  echo Which group?
  exit 1
fi
groupid=$(getent group $1 | cut -d: -f3)
grouplst=$(getent group $1 | cut -d: -f4)
for User in $(cat /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d:)
do
  if [ $(id -g $User) = $groupid ]; then
grouplst=$(echo $grouplst),$User
  fi
done
echo Members of group $1 are: $grouplst
exit 0

[CentOS] Shell script to list group members

2008-09-23 Thread Tim Alberts
I have several shell scripts to manage user accounts on a server.  I've 
been using a file with the usernames of peoples accounts that any script 
needs to process.  I had a thought that I can and should be setting up 
groups and adding user accounts to those groups so I don't have to 
maintain a set of files with the user accounts.


So essentially, I am looking for a (simple) shell command to run from a 
bash script that will allow me to list user accounts that belong to a 
particular group.  Any help is appreciated.

I'm sorry, I didn't specify, I'm using LDAP for user/group management.  
Ideally a command like 'groups' would be nice, except it would be the 
inverse, it would print the users in a group, not the groups a user 
belongs to.

The egrep is using a leading anchor (^) to make sure the grep matches the 
beginning of the line.  If not, and the group pattern matched as one of 
the users it would print those lines too .. which is probably undesirable.

Grep understands the '^', so egrep is not needed.  Typically, you only
need egrep for patterns that involve alternative re's, like looking
for one of abc|def|ghi which grep does not recognize.

Also, it might be helpful to trim your replies so we don't need to
wade through the whole thread to see your reply.

Do you mean something like:
ping -c10 host1
ping -c10 host2

which will ping host1 10 times, then host2 10 times etc. (see `man ping` 
for details of the options).


If you have a list of hosts in a file, you could do:
for host in `cat [filename]`
do
ping -c10 $host
done

or:

while read host
do
ping -c10 $host
done  [filename]

If you only want to ping each host once, you can substitute '-c10' with 
'-c1' (again, see the man page).


Hope this helps

Hi,

If you you want a quicker execution - you could also run the pings to
separate hosts in parallel starting the jobs in background () and waiting
for them with wait after that. You'll have to be more careful about the
outputs in that case - e.g. redirect them to separate files.

If your goal is to test connectivity, you might look at the perl
Net::Ping module.  ``perldoc Net::Ping'' has several examples of
checking one or more systems to see if they are alive.

Lots of answers, depending on the shell.  I like this version for ksh:

  typeset -Z4 a=-1
  while (( a++  1000 ))
  do
print $a
  done

Not enough use is made of typeset :-)

I can only imagine it is working in 4.6 because the result of grep 
entry_chooser.js /var/log/httpd/access_log is either empty or 1 
word.  The test syntax [ -z xxx ] would report the too many 
arguments error whenever the grep returned more than one word.  You can 
test this at your command line by typing in:-

   [ -z one ]
and
   [ -z one two three four five ]

The first will return false but you'll just see another bash prompt, 
the second will report the too many arguments error.  This is 
certainly the case for me using RHEL4.6, so I would imagine CentOS4.6 
should be the same.  You can also see it explained by these commands and 
results:-

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ [ -z ]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo $?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ echo $?
1

Not sure why 4.6 is allowing it, but your if test will be resolving to 
something like this:-
if [ -z this line from your log file and another line and even more 
lines until your if test fails with too many arguments I hope you don't 
want me to keep typing to make the point ]


To fix it, wrap the grep instead double quotes as well as the ticks - e.g.
if [ -z `grep entry_chooser.js /var/log/httpd/access_log` ]
Then the output from the grep will be seen as one long string, not a 
multitude of words from your log file.

 How can I be ensured that command2 will always run after command1 is

if command1;then true;fi

Does command1 always need to be killed?
How about: command1  command2 ?

In this example, command2 will always run after command1.  The script must be
getting killed.

This would ensure that command2 is never run after command1 is killed (assuming
command1 is not trapping the signal and exiting successfully).
