I want to write a shell script in bash to deploy websites from an svn repository. When I deploy a website, I name the exported directory *website_name*-R*revision_number*. I'd like the bash script to automatically rename the exported directory, so it needs to learn the current revision number from the export directory. If I run $> svn ...
I have a pair of bash scripts, 1 that dumps mysql dbs, and the second to purge old backups. I have always relied on date, so any files older than 7 days are purged, and new backups created daily. The result was a set of backups 7 days back. Well now that I have 20+ dbs I have separated that daily job into a daily, and weekly job. If I...
Hi, I wonder if it is possible in bash for OSX to create a script for which we give as input the application name and a number N, so this app gets opened in the Space's space number N. I would like with this to create a meta-script, so when the computer boots and after login, on each space I get different apps, and important, I can cha...

Why would you prefer to keep from using bash commands via exec() in php? I do not consider portability issue (I definitely will not port it to run on Windows). That's just a matter of a good way of writing scripts. On the one hand: I need to write much more lines in php then in bash to accomplish the same task. For example, when I n...
Hello, Is it possible to take the difference of two arrays in bash.. Would be really great if you could suggest me the way to do it..

Ok, maybe I'm doing something really stupid. I'm on OSX 10.6.1. I want to add mysql to my path, so I add the following to my .bashrc PATH = ${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin export PATH upon running terminal, it doesn't work, which I expect, because .bash_profile is not loading .bashrc at the moment. but if I manually enter bash, i get ...

I have moved my classes from a global namespace into a specific namespace. I have also changed the class names. I want to convert all my source files that use these classes to the new format. I was thinking either a bash script using a sed file on Cygwin or executing a perl script. I'm having troubles with the bash script. Here's th...
We're using git with a central repo (using Gitosis). I've created a post-receive hook to generate an email to the dev mailing list whenever changes are pushed to the central repo, and to generate documentation from the documentation folder in the git repo. Therefore, in ~git/ I've got a directory, we'll call it 'a' that contains a clone...
I often use the find command to search through source code, delete files, whatever. Annoyingly, because Subversion stores duplicates of each file in its .svn/text-base/ directories my simple searches end up getting lots of duplicate results. For example, I want to recursively search for uint in multiple messages.h and messages.cpp files:...

I'm writing scripts that will run in parallel and will get their input data from the same file. These scripts will open the input file, read the first line, store it for further treatment and finally erase this read line from the input file. Now the problem is that multiple scripts accessing the file can lead to the situation where two...
I'm trying to get this script to basically read input from a file on a command line, match the user id in the file using grep and output these lines with line numbers starting from 1)...n in a new file. so far my script looks like this #!/bin/bash linenum=1 grep $USER $1 | while [ read LINE ] do echo $linenum ")" $LINE >> usrout $linen...
