This script will read an old and a new value from the user and then use sed to find and replace them in a file. For example if I entered T*T*z and B*B*z it would look for T\*T\*z in the file and replace with B\*B\*z. It works but I've been trying to make this more concise. I don't have any need for the intermediate variables $ESC_OL...

I've searched around but haven't quite found what I'm looking for. In a nutshell I have created a bash script to run in a infinite while loop, sleeping and checking if a process is running. The only problem is even if the process is running, it says it is not and opens another instance. I know I should check by process name and not pr...

These do not work: [ -f /dev/sdf ] && echo "It exists" || echo ...
I'm trying to add a feature to a legacy script. The script is suid, and uses perl -T (taint mode: man perlsec), for extra security. The feature I need to add is implemented in Python. My problem is that I can't convince perlsec to preserve the suid permissions, no matter how much I launder the environment and my command lines. This is...
