• How to get my geolocation in bash

  - by icco

  I am looking for a good geolocation api to use from bash. I want this call to return at the very minimum the name of the city I am in, and the state. I imagine that there must be some site I can curl, or some scripting language that has a package that works. The machine does not have a GPS, but it does use wireless internet most of the time if that is needed.

• Formatting the BASH command prompt

  - by Robert S. Barnes

  I would like to change the formatting on my BASH prompt from this: [email protected]:~/some/very/annoying/long/path$ to something like this: [email protected]:~/some/very/annoying/long/path $ The idea is that I would be able to type a reasonably long command on one line without it wrapping to the next line so quickly.

• Bash: Terminate on Timeout/File Overflow while Executing Command

  - by Chris

  I'm writing a mock-grading script in bash. It's supposed to execute a C program which will give some output (which I redirect to a file.) I'm trying to (1) make it timeout after a certain duration and also (2) terminate if the output file reaches a certain file size limit. Not sure how to go about either of these. Any help? Thanks.

• convert dos/windows newline to unix newline in bash script

  - by Koran Molovik

  I bash, how do I convert dos/windows newlines to unix? It must be non-interactive, not like starting vi and typing something in, but a command on the command line that can be put in a script file. The dos2unix and unix2dos commands are not available on the system. How do I do this with commands like sed/awk/tr?

• Bash scripting know the result of a command.

  - by Fork

  Hi, I am writing a bash script to run an integration test of a tool I am writing. Basically I run the application with a set of inputs and compare the results with expected values using the diff command line tool. It's working, but I would like to enhance it by knowing the result of the diff command and print "SUCCESS" or "FAIL" depending on the result of the diff. How can I do it?

• BASH: Find highest numbered filename in a directory where names start with digits (ls, sed)

  - by Jake

  I have a directory with files that look like this: 001_something.php 002_something_else.php 004_xyz.php 005_do_good_to_others.php I ultimately want to create a new, empty PHP file whose name starts with the next number in the series. LIST=`exec ls $MY_DIR | sed 's/\([0-9]\+\).*/\1/g' | tr '\n' ' '` The preceding code gives me a string like this: LIST='001 002 004 005 ' I want to grab that 005, increment by one, and then use that number to generate the new filename. How do I do that in BASH?

Perhaps there is a better way of generating such a a log?

• Inline comments for bash?

  - by Lajos Nagy

  I'd like to be able to comment out a single flag in a one-line command. Bash only seems to have `from # till end-of-line' comments. I'm looking at tricks like: ls -l $([ ] && -F is turned off) -a /etc It's ugly, but better than nothing. Anybody has any better suggestions?

• Batch equivilant of Bash backticks

  - by MiffTheFox

  When working with Bash, I can put the output of one command into another command like so: my_command `echo Test` would be the same thing as my_command Test (Obviously, this is just a non-practical example.) I'm just wondering if you can do the same thing in Batch.

• BASH Arithmetic Expressions

  - by Arko

  I had used several ways to do some simple integer arithmetic in BASH (3.2). But I can't figure out the best (preferred) way to do it. result=`expr 1 + 2` result=$(( 1 + 2 )) let "result = 1 + 2" What are the fundamental differences between those expressions? Is there other ways to do the same? Is the use of a tool like bc mandatory for floating point arithmetic? result=`echo "7/354" | bc`
