  1. Re: bash: execute in background and wait for a string at stdout?

    Heh, you revived a 3.5 year old thread.

    Anyway, everything in that script will work with bourne, except the process substitution. You can use a fifo instead.

    somecommand() {

  2. Re: running shell scripts in different directories

    I prefer to just do the cd in a subshell.


    for dir in ./*/; do
    ( cd "$dir" && ./script.sh )
    done


    Is script.sh the same script copied to each directory?

    Re: Basic journal script with bash

    Bash already logs your commands for you to ~/.bash_history. By default it doesn't add a timestamp, but you can modify the special HISTTIMEFORMAT variable to achieve that.

    [ubuntu] Re: svn: Unrecognized URL scheme

    Check the contents of that /home/devserve/usvn-1.0/files/svn/testproject/hooks/post-commit script. My guess is it uses the absolute path to svn instead of relying on the PATH variable.

    [SOLVED] Re: Why is this script working? [BASH]

    Aha, in that case this thread's title is misleading. Based on the title on that book, it most likely teaches you to write sh scripts, not bash scripts.

    [SOLVED] Re: Why is this script working? [BASH]

    When you omit the in words part, it assumes in "$@". Run help for in an interactive bash shell to see the syntax.

    Out of curiosity, which book is it?

  17. [SOLVED] Re: Bash: Why are these two variables treated differently?

    Right, then var=$(<"$filename") will do, though since it's just one line, you can also use read. Using read is more efficient, and I also find that "prettier".

    read -r var < "$filename"

    Re: echo | nc does not work on desktop

    My best guess is that you run that script with sh instead of bash. Bash's echo takes -e and -n as options, sh's echo does not. Use printf instead or at least make sure you run the script with bash.

  20. [SOLVED] Re: Bash: Why are these two variables treated differently?

    You can't export array variables. I'm not exactly sure how bash handles export var=( something ), but it's pointless anyway, so don't do it. What are you actually trying to do?
