[newbie] bash-script to umount win partitions then kppp
Hi What I would like to do is...with some script Use kppp to connect internet BUT to umount my windows partitions before activating kppp. I usually forget to umount my win part. - I have read it is better to do this and protect win part against virusses. With a script I can force the operation At this moment I have this script#script name is dial konsole su -c umnt-win #a existing script - works fine by itself kppp ** dial is now linked to my desktop When activated. konsole appear...fine...but now I have to type in * su -c umnt-win * and de-activate konsole.. now kppp appears. ** I am sure there must be a way to let all this happen and me only to enter root password. (maybe I am just lazy or want learn more). I would appreciate some input here Thanks -- Johan May this be a good day for learning Registered Linux User #330034 - still learning Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] bash-script to umount win partitions then kppp
Johan, I could be wrong on this but I don't think leaving the Windows partitions mounted would cause a problem. As you are using Linux and not going to run any viruses through wine you should be okay. Don't save any files to the windows partition before running a virus scan against them.

It is nonsense. If you connecting with Linux you are not going to get any viruses anyway, and a Linux virus (If there were any in the wild) would not gravitate to Windows partitions. It could only do damage in the linux partitions. But if it would make you more comfortable to unmount your windows partitions while on dial up, then use the scripts /etc/ppp/if-up.local and /etc/ppp/if-down Kppp will automatically run the scripts in those files. You will probably have to create them, and do not forget to make them executable. derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Bash Script to change file prefix
okay josenildo, if you don't have exif support in your camera then you might want to rename files based on their timestamp, i do this with my camera because it also creates avis and wavs, by renaming them before editing the 'modification' timestamp of the files is the time they were created, i copy them to a temp directory using 'cp -a' and then run the attached one-liner in that directory, if you only have files with the one suffix of course then you won't need the bit about storing the suffix in varaible! i guess what i'm saying is look at the 'stat' and 'date' commands :) bascule On Friday 05 Sep 2003 1:49 pm, Anne Wilson wrote: On Friday 05 Sep 2003 3:16 am, Josenildo Marques wrote: My camera is a quasi-camera.

All the pics are saved with the .JPG extension. That's it. As I said, it's OK. Don't know if it helps, but some setting in kde lets you see an enlarged thumbnail together with exif info when you hover over the image. Example attached - note the exposure info.

Re: [newbie] Bash Script to change file prefix
These are digital camera pix , the product of an event to which I would like to add a replacement prefix for dsci to reflect the nature of the event and a date, so in this case I might choose something lile bankholiday240803followed by 0001.jpg etc. Can someone suggest a script to do this for me so I don't have to manually retype the file name in properties for each file. It would be nice if I could run the script and it asked me for a syntax , which would be different in each event , and then added it in place of the bit of syntax to be removed. I think it might be nice if I could just copy the bash script file to the source directory and run it from there, dunno though . Here's a script modified from linux magazine dec 02/jan 03. Which will rename files. --- #!/bin/sh for photo in *jpg; do mv $photo `echo $photo | sed 's/dsci/bankholiday/'` done --- Run it in the directory where the files are. You can modify to take arguments ($1 $2 etc). test it first ;-) Roland Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Cyb,
I'm assuming you're working with a bash script and I've used bash for
this, but I've found perl to be easier to work with. I've got a script
already written that does something similar to what you're needing. It
would take only a wee bit of modification to change it to do specifically
what you want. I've attached it. Please feel free to modify it any way you
wish. if you have any questions just holler.

[newbie] bash script to send files to tar from rox-filer
I program quite a bit in other languages, but am somewhat new to bash, so this may not be the most elegant program, but i'm having fun learning it! Anyway, i put this in ~/Choices/SendTo as tar_rox In rox-filer, if you select several files or dirs and Send To tar_rox, it'll tar them up in the same directory w/o the entire path to the files/dirs. (any structure w/i the dir will be preserved). I have to go outside (ah!) now, but i'll add prompting for filename as a learn a bit more. Then probaly a pipe for sylpheed... The if chunk's purpose is to strip the filenames off the arguments, since they come in with full paths, and to find the path of the files (since pwd is ~/). Thought this might be of interest to some, and any bash(ing) comments are welcome! eric - #!/bin/bash #xmessage $@ FILEPATH=`pwd` #will be reset to files' path if needed echo $@ | grep -q / if [ $? = 0 ] ; then FILENAMES='' for item in $@; do let count=0 if [[ `echo $item | cut -c1` = '/' ]] ; then let count=1 fi VAR='1' while [[ $VAR != '' ]]; do let count=count+1 VAR=`echo $item | cut -d/ -f$count` done FILEPATH=`echo $item | cut -d/ -f1-$((count-2))` FILENAMES=$FILENAMES` echo ``echo $item | cut -d/ -f$((count-1))` done else FILENAMES=$@ fi echo $FILEPATH cd $FILEPATH #xmessage `tar -cvf tmp.tar $FILENAMES` tar -cvf tmp.tar $FILENAMES Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] bash script to send files to tar from rox-filer
In rox-filer, if you select several files or dirs and Send To tar_rox, it'll tar them up in the same directory w/o the entire path to the files/dirs. (any structure w/i the dir will be preserved). Ok. I am more than new to bash scritpting, but won't ROX archive do this? Probably. I didn't get it to work when i installed it, and then got distracted, so never went back to figure it out. Some sort of pygtk or python library trouble. I'll get back to it eventually... I mostly used this as an excuse to learn a little more about bash.

Re: [newbie] bash script to send files to tar from rox-filer
I don't know if `basename` will help you with that or not. Yes! That's way better. That's the area where i will have to learn the most: what functions are out there. It's fun to learn the hard way, too, though... Thanks for the command, eric Here's the basename version: #!/bin/bash FILEPATH=`pwd` #will be reset to files' path if needed echo $@ | grep -q / if [ $? = 0 ] ; then # get filenames FILENAMES='' for item in $@; do FILENAMES=$FILENAMES `basename $item` done #get path FILEPATH=$(echo $1 | sed s/`basename $1`//) else FILENAMES=$@ fi echo $FILEPATH cd $FILEPATH tar -cvf tmp.tar $FILENAMES Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] bash script
With some [read LOTS] of help on IRC, I found way to do this: find dir1/ -lname /dir2 | xargs rm this find all files in dir1 which link to dir2 (it's important to know whether you want to find files that link relatively or absolutely), then pipes this info to xargs and rm. Try it just up to the pipe to see how it lists the links. For mroe info, check out man find and man xargs -Paul Rodríguez On Mon, 2001-12-03 at 16:47, Paul Rodríguez wrote: Ok Lets say I have files in Dir2 which I have symlinks for in Dir1.

Re: [newbie] bash script to remove ?
Hi, This can be done, using the following: 1. assuming that your local mailbox is in /var/spool/mail/$username, then do the following: snip #!/bin/bash regex= mailbox=/var/spool/mail/$username #list contents cat $mailbox | grep $regex | sed -e /$regex//g; /var/spool/mail/newmail snip 2. replace all instances of $username mentioned above with the actual filename of your inbox. If the inbox you will be searching is not your own, then this script will have to be ran as the root user. 3. Save the above script in /usr/bin folder, using a suitable name, and issue the following command: chmod 700 /usr/bin/filename 4. Then run the script. The resultant output will appear in the file /var/spool/mail/newmail HTH, Thomas Adam Linux Co-ordinator for the Purbeck School (Network Support) - Original Message - From: Jon Doe [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 4:55 AM Subject: [newbie] bash script to remove ?

You have to have the e-mail in a separate file (like the MH mail structure). Then you can test the first character of a line and use the 'cut' command to take it off if it is a See man bash for info on how to determine the first character of a line...
