  • Get color output in bash

    - by Werner
    Hi, when compiling some projects on linux terminal, I get usually a long output consisting of a lot of information. Usually this information is MONOCHROME. I wonder if bash can be modified somehow, so in all outputs or in some specific outputs (like from Makefile, etc) I can get different colors dependeing on, for instance: make[1]: Leaving directory or g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. etc. Thanks

  • Append or modify keys in conf files using sed/bash one-liner

    - by Jeff
    I often have to modify files such as sysctl.conf, and I'm familiar with using sed to replace existing values. Is there a way to append the new key/value pair to the file if sed wasn't able to replace it? For instance, using this example: modify config file using bash script sed -c -i "s/\($TARGET_KEY *= *\).*/\1$REPLACEMENT_VALUE/" $CONFIG_FILE How could I add the $TARGET_KEY = $REPLACEMENT_VALUE new line to $CONFIG_FILE using the same sed expression with slight changes? And on a related topic, how can I force creation of $CONFIG_FILE if it didn't exist?

  • kill a process in bash

    - by wyatt
    How do I kill a process which is running in bash - for example, suppose I open a file: $ gedit file.txt is there any way within the command prompt to close it? This example is fairly trivial, since I could just close the window, but it seems to come up a bit, particularly when I mistype commands. Also is there any way to escape an executable which is running? This probably has the same solution, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks

  • Bash command that prints a message on stderr

    - by Salman A
    I want to know if there is a built-in BASH command that prints some text on stderr, just like the echo command that prints text on stdout. I don't want to use temporary io-redirection. I use a built-in command to generate an error on stderr such as ls --asdf (ls: unrecognized option '--asdf') but I want something neater,

    - by User1
    Using bash, I have a list of strings that I want to use to replace an int. Here's an example: day1=Monday day2=Tuesday day3=Wednesday day4=Thursday day5=Friday day6=Saturday day7=Sunday If I have an int, $dow, to represent the day of the week, how do I print the actual string? I tried this: echo ${day`echo $dow`} but get error of "bad substitution". How do I make this work? Note: I can change the $day variables to a list or something.

  • Printf example in bash does not create a newline

    - by WolfHumble
    Working with printf in a bash script, adding no spaces after "\n" does not create a newline, whereas adding a space creates a newline, e. g.: No space after "\n" NewLine=`printf "\n"` echo -e "Firstline${NewLine}Lastline" Result: FirstlineLastline Space after "\n " NewLine=`printf "\n "` echo -e "Firstline${NewLine}Lastline" Result: Firstline Lastline Question: Why doesn't 1. create the following result: Firstline Lastline I know that this specific issue could have been worked around using other techniques, but I want to focus on why 1. does not work.

  • Conecting bash script with a txt file

    - by cathy
    I have a txt file with 100+ lines called page1.txt; odd lines are urls and even lines are url names. I have a bash file already created that checks urls for completion. Except right now, the process is really manual because I have to modify the bash every time I need to check a url. So I need to connect the bash to the txt using the variable url. $url should get all the odd lines from page1.txt and check if the link is complete or not. Also, how would I write a variable called name that derives from the url the 7 digits? bash file manually: url=http://www.-------------/-/8200233/1/ name=8200233 lynx -dump $url > $name.txt I would prefer if the bash file could add "Complete/In-Complete " at the beginning of every even line in the page1.txt file but a new text file could be also created to keep track of the Completes/In-completes.

  • Bash Shell Scripting Errors: ./myDemo: 56: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string [EDITED]

    - by ???
    Could someone take a look at this code and find out what's wrong with it? #!/bin/sh while : do echo " Select one of the following options:" echo " d or D) Display today's date and time" echo " l or L) List the contents of the present working directory" echo " w or W) See who is logged in" echo " p or P) Print the present working directory" echo " a or A) List the contents of a specified directory" echo " b or B) Create a backup copy of an ordinary file" echo " q or Q) Quit this program" echo " Enter your option and hit <Enter>: \c" read option case "$option" in d|D) date ;; l|L) ls $PWD ;; w|w) who ;; p|P) pwd ;; a|A) echo "Please specify the directory and hit <Enter>: \c" read directory if [ "$directory = "q" -o "Q" ] then exit 0 fi while [ ! -d "$directory" ] do echo "Usage: "$directory" must be a directory." echo "Re-enter the directory and hit <Enter>: \c" read directory if [ "$directory" = "q" -o "Q" ] then exit 0 fi done printf ls "$directory" ;; b|B) echo "Please specify the ordinary file for backup and hit <Enter>: \c" read file if [ "$file" = "q" -o "Q" ] then exit 0 fi while [ ! -f "$file" ] do echo "Usage: \"$file\" must be an ordinary file." echo "Re-enter the ordinary file for backup and hit <Enter>: \c" read file if [ "$file" = "q" -o "Q" ] then exit 0 fi done cp "$file" "$file.bkup" ;; q|Q) exit 0 ;; esac echo done exit 0 There are some syntax errors that I can't figure out.
