Hi I've been trying to find some tutorials on writing hook scripts, and so far my search has been pretty fruitless. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good source? I've checked the SVN book, but can't find anything that detailed in there (although I may simply not have looked in the right place). any help is appreciated. BTW: I si...
I'm not sure if this is possible or not. What I'm looking for is a way to tell telnet to use a certain IP address to log into and then run commands where the commands change based on a user's MAC address. Basically it would be: tell telnet to use x.x.x.x as the IP to log into and put in the correct username and password tell telnet t...
I am writing a shell script and I am stuck. The requirement is: I will receive files which have a sequence number on them like xyz0001abcd.DAT. I create a copy of that file, keeping the sequence number, as abcd000001gfh.DAT. The original filename uses four digits (up to 9999), and the copied one uses six (up to 999999). I am stuck when...
I need to write a script that go to a web site, logs in, navigates to a page and downloads (and after that parse) the html of that page. What I want is a standalone script, not a script that controls Firefox. I don't need any javascript support in that just simple html navigation. If nothing easy to do this exists.. well then something...
Background: Every work day I get an e-mail from a vendor who sends me a CSV file as an attachment. The CSV file needs to be converted into HTML and I already have a script that does that. The problem is, I have to manually open my e-mail, save the attachment to my hard drive and then run the script against the saved attachment. I would ...
When using a long running script which writes to an open text files, say for logging, which is the better approach: open a file, write to it as needed, and then close when done? Or open the file, write to it, and immediately close it every time? I can see advantages and disadvantages to both. Any thoughts or experiences? ...

Hi guys. Found this Reboot Vista.vbs script on a number of forums. Seems like the whole post ( text including the code ) was posted on many forums. So I don't know who the original author is. Heres the code here: Option Explicit On Error Resume Next Dim Wsh, Time1, Time2, Result, PathFile, MsgResult, MsgA, AppName, KeyA, KeyB, TimeDiff ...

In short I want to execute a command of the following structure through a bash shell script: command_name -a arg1 -b arg2 -c "arg with whitespaces here" But no matter how...
I'm sure something like this exists, but I can't for the life of me remember what it is called. I'm looking for an app where I can just execute an arbitrary block of C# code and see any console output. ...

My company has traditionally used a Linux command line development environment. We use a script to manage the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables when compiling and running. This script is called by adding it to the beginning of a command, like this: sbs make sbs ../bin/foo.exe I am trying to get our code to run from Ecli...

I can get this to work by doing one of the following two options: Option 1 syn keyword MyLangOperators operator1 operator2 operator3 syn keyword MyLangOperators ...
I've found a great little program that will allow me to add user friendly GUI's to my Bash Scripts; whiptail However the whiptail man page isn't all that helpful and doesn't provide any examples. After doing some google searches I understand how to create a simple yes/no menu using whiptail: #! /bin/bash # http://archives.seul.org/s...
I have a site built with simple templates; header.tpl, navigation.tpl, body_home.tpl, body_about.tpl, body_anotherpage.tpl, etc. The navigation.tpl contains jQuery and is used to dynamically build a drop down navigation menu. When an element is clicked on the first drop down menu, the next is built based on what element was clicked. At s...
This is the evolution of these two questions, here, and here. For mine own learning, I'm trying to accomplish two (more) things with the code below: Instead of invoking my script with # myscript -F "," file_to_process, how can I fold in the '-F ","' part into the script itself? How can I initialize a variable, so that I only assign a ...

In the main script, have a loop to monitor the spawned command every few seconds. The loop also echoes some messages to stdout indicating progr...
I wanted a simple git command to go up to the "root" of the repository. I started with a script, but figured that I cannot change active directory of the shell, I had to do a function. Unfortunately, I cannot call it directly with the non-dash form "git root", for instance. function git-root() { if [ -d .git ]; then return 0 fi A...
I have a fairly sophisticated server-side application which frequently requires me to see what is going on with its internals to debug and fix problems. I've therefore embedded a Beanshell instance, which I can telnet into (normally over a ssh tunnel), but I'm wondering if there is a better way. A few limitations: No readline support...
