[REBOL] Re: Commander.c adds Shell access for Rebol

2001-03-20 Thread Colin Brizell

Frank,
commander looks the "business". I've compiled and got it running on my
Linux box.
I have a small question, how can I capture the output in REBOL of the
command I call?

eg

Rebol> call "psql -d dbname -c 'select * from tablename'"

This returns all the rows from tablename on STDOUT (?) but I don't see how I
can assign then to a REBOL word.
I would like to be able to do

Rebol> results: call "psql -d dbname -c 'select * from tablename'"

I will continue to investigate 'commander'

Regards
colinb

Subject: [REBOL] Commander.c adds Shell access for Rebol


Hi!

Until RT adds a launch support for /Core and /View you can try my
commander.c program.

It starts the rebol-Interpreter and adds a (very simple) 'call function to
it. You can now type

call "kedit commander.c"

to open kedit with the source-code ;)

How it works:

commander startes REBOL faking a console stream to it. It reads REBOLs
output to find character 0 (ZERO)s in it. Commands are marked

  ^@command^@

They are executed (in background).

So DON'T OUTPUT CHARACTER ZERO WHEN YOU USE COMMANDER at the moment.

Planned is to add full support of call like in /command and to replace
system/ports/output by a port which escapes character zero so commander
will be absolute transpartent.

Oh, use at your own risk and read the sourcecode:

 http://proton.cl-ki.uni-osnabrueck.de/REBOL/commander.c

Frank

Yes, the first time the script runs, it loads a 0-byte cache file called
%dns-library.r, as such...

retrieved-library: read %dns-library.r
dns-library: parse retrieved-library none


It then uses the following function for the DNS lookups...

dns-lookup: func [
"Convert an IP address to a domain name"
dns-cache "A cache of IP addresses and corresponding domain names"
IP [string!] "The IP address that needs to be converted to a domain"
/local domain
][
domain: select dns-cache IP
if ( domain == none ) [
domain: read join dns:// IP
if ( domain == none ) [
domain: "unresolved"
]
append/only dns-cache IP
append/only dns-cache domain
]
domain
]


At the end of the script, it saves the dns cache back to the %dns-library.r
file, as such...

write %dns-library.r ""
foreach library-entry dns-library [
write/append %dns-library.r library-entry
write/append %dns-library.r " "
]

[REBOL] [UPDATE] web.log data mining

2001-03-20 Thread ryan . christiansen

Below is an updated version of the CLF format web.log file data mining
script, which parses CLF format web.log files and places the data in .csv
files for use in Excel and other applications. The script now calls
functions instead of being simply linear.

Usage:

You must begin with a 0-byte %dns-library.r file in the same directory as
the script.
Change username, password, domain.dom and path to web.log file in ftp
protocol statement.

The script will write separate .csv files in the same directory as the
script, each .csv file named for the date of the data for which it
contains. If you run the script a second day, it will append to a .csv file
for a given date if that .csv file exists in the directory. The script is
designed to mine a web.log file which has been rotated to a 0-byte log file
on a daily basis.

[REBOL] Re: Shell access for Rebol, was: zip file support

2001-03-20 Thread Michal Kracik

Me too :-)

I'll give an example why I want shell access in Core. I could write a
rather cool programmer's tool in REBOL.

The script could: checkout a project from CVS server, run make
(which runs C++ compiler and linker), run unit tests, send log via
email, pack distribution files with zip, tar and gzip, upload it to
a web site, send all subscribers notification email, all from REBOL
in one step.

Writing such application in REBOL with shell access would take several
hours. And it would be even portable between Windows, Linux, and,
for example, Solaris, because all used tools are already ported and
behave identically on different platforms.

I know that sending email with SMTP protocol is more portable than
calling /usr/bin/sendmail, and 'parse is more portable than calling
awk. But the application I described cannot be written portably in
REBOL without shell access, because REBOL does not contain CVS
client, make functionality, C++ compiler and linker, tar, zip
and gzip.

I'd like shell access in /Core to be able to use the BeOS file system's

but it can store ANY type of file in attributes, meaning images, sounds,
etc., perfect for serving dynamic web pages. This is being done with perl

Actually, MySQL always uses TCP/IP. There is no "direct" access
(if not maybe using Unix sockets, but this is not the case for
Windows and I didn't check if MySQL actually supports them;
anyway, they would be accessible by REBOL too).

2001-03-20 Thread Michal Kracik

>

With default MySQL privileges, yes. It's not specific to mysql://
protocol, it's the same with PHP, Perl, ODBC driver or any other
client.

But MySQL administrator can grant access to specific or all users,
domains or IP addresses. I tried it with Nenad when testing
the mysql:// protocol and it worked. But it took some time to set up
the privileges, and I don't remember the exact commands. This should
allow connection and grant all privileges to all databases to user
with name rebtest and password reb from any domain. It's good for
testing, but it's insecure since it allows the user to accidentally
delete all databases on the server.

telnet as any user
shell> mysql -uroot -p
The only MySQL user with administrative rights is root by default.
His password is by default empty, it's different from root's UNIX
password.

Hi,

I think rebol would benefit a lot from a simple shell

of getting all sorts of stuff done.
At the same time, I fear the mess we could create. :)

It's the diversity versus standards argument again.

Messy diversity and good, clean standards.
I don't think there will ever be a winner.
