[expert] Bash scripts: Displaying output of command and testing in same line?
I'm a newbie trying to create a bash script. (I'm not sure whether this is a "newbie level" question or not.) I'd like to run a command (almost anything) in an if statement and direct it's normal output to standard out but also test that output using grep to use the result in the logic of the script. For example, the output of mailq is "Mail queue is empty" if the mail queue is empty, and a list of messages if there are any in the queue. In butchered pseudocode, I'd like to do something like this: * run mailq displaying output * if mailq was empty (tested like: mailq | grep -c "empty") do something else do something else fi I could do something like run mailq and capture the output in a file or variable, then: * print the file or variable * test the file or variable Or, I could run the command twice, but I want to avoid that. I thought there might be an easier way (or a one liner type approach, which while it might be one line might be fairly difficult (for me) to understand ;-) I've started trying variations of the following, but I'm really just shooting in the dark: if mailq tee grep -c "empty" Randy Kramer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] please help compile cooker 2.4.19 kernel
hi all, I'm trying to compile the current cooker kernel (2.4.19) and only run into hundreds of thousands of unresolved symbols. here's what I did: * install the kernel-source-rpm (NOT .src.rpm) * install the most recent kernel-headers-rpm (which is for 2.4.18, so thats a possible problem) * install the most recent glibc-stuff (including devel things) * copy my old config from /boot to /usr/src/linux/.config * make menuconfig * make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install modules_install or a "depmod -a 2.4.19-3mdkcustom" always ends with hundreds of unresolved symbols. A month ago I read in a thread, that the kernel-headers are not "stand-alone" anymore, but are contained in the glibc-devel package, but that did not help me either ... So has anyone out there in the wast space of the internet successfully compiled a cooker-2.4.19 kernel and would maybe not mind telling me?? thanks udo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

There are several approaches you could take, all depending on the length of output and what else you'd need to do with it. One approach that you've found is to redirect the output to a temporary file: somecommand > tmpfile.$$ The $$ expands to the process ID of the command and is useful for quickly generating a filename.
