Automator: current directory in shell script not accepted

Hi!
I wrote a bash script requiring first the directory where the script is.
#!/bin/bash
cd "`dirname \"$0\"`"
convert *_A.jpg *_N21.jpg *_I3.jpg -background black -compose screen -flatten merge.jpg
exit
The script runs fine itself. I want to integrate this as an Automator's service, right-clicking on random image and starting the script in THAT directory.
Unfortunately, cd "`dirname \"$0\"`" doesn't seem to work when built in automator and Home directory is always default.
I also tried in automator with this http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9317/schermata20100605a00251.png (sorry it's italian,below a translation)
Folders in Finder
1)Obtain specified items from Finder: Path
2)Shell script
#!/bin/bash
cd $@
convert *_A.jpg *_N21.jpg *_I3.jpg -background black -compose screen -flatten merge.jpg
exit
and fails too.
All solutions will be appreciated
Thanks
Stefano

Try the Unix forum under OS X Technologies for bash scripting and these for automator stuff:

  • Cd not changing directory in shell script

    This shell script executes correctly, but... not correctly:
    #!/bin/bash
    cd /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs
    pwd
    Output is:
    /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs
    [root bin]#
    However, when I immediately type "pwd", it returns
    /usr/bin
    How can pwd in the script return a path different from the path I am in?

    [Running a script launches a subshell|http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/subshells.html], and the subshell does change the default, and that default promptly evaporates when the subshell exits.
    You can invoke the script as dot-space-scriptname or as +source script+ to avoid the subshell.
    . ~/script
    source ~/script
    Or you can switch tactics and use a bash function:
    function cdhttpdocs() {
    cd /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs
    The easiest for this case is probably something akin to an alias:
    alias cdhttpdocs="cd /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs"

  • Shell Script not getting invoked in File adapter

    Hi all,
    Requirement:
    PI need to pick the file from source directory and send it to target directory using SFTP.
    I'm using SCP command for this purpose.
    When I run the shell script (with simple SCP command) from command prompt, script is working fine.
    Same script is called from PI File adapter but script is not getting invoked.
    In the communication channel logs, "Executed OS command" is available. There are no Error/Warning messages in the log.
    NFS transport protocol is used in the File communication channel.
    Complete directory path of the shell script is mentioned in File channel -> Run Operating System command after message processing.
    Even the following simple command is not working from PI receiver file channel:
    echo "Test file" >> /data/test.txt
    Please let me know if I'm missing out something.
    Thanks,
    Geetha

    Hi Geetha,
    I think the syntax u are using is not correct. Please follow the below syntax:
    /path/<script_name> %F
    for ex: /staging/Interface/XI/Script/FTPData %F
    use the above in the communication channel.
    %F should be after a space.
    FTPData is the script name
    /staging/Interface/XI/Script/ is the location where the script is present

  • Directory for shell scripts

    I'm looking for a logical place to save Unix shell scripts. ~/Documents doesn't sound right, nor would ~/bin because the scripts aren't binaries. I know it comes down to personal preference, but what makes the most sense, ~/Library/Scripts? and /Library/Scripts for all users?

    I've been using Unix since '85, and here is what I do:
    ~/local/bin # for my personal scripts and executables
    /usr/local/bin # for my shared scripts and executables
    And I also create a symlink ~/bin that points to ~/local/bin
    cd ~
    ln -s local/bin bin
    Many open source applications are stored by default in /usr/local/bin, but from time to time, I'm on a Unix system I do not own, and I want to install a personal open source program, so I use
    ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
    which will configure the open source software so it is setup to store things in my home directory, including any support files, man files etc... associated with the program. For example a personal copy of Vim.

  • Hardcode password in a do shell script not working

    I have been trying to solve something i have wanted to do for a long time, that is get a script that changes the ammount of time before the display goes to sleep. I tried GUi scripting but in system preferences the changes made to the slider did not stay. So i have now come onto a do shell script. Found below. I would prefer to just hardcode my password into it however this does not seem to work. Any ideas ?
    set exitflag to false
    try
    repeat until exitflag is true
    set {text returned:Sleeptime, button returned:sleepstate} to (display dialog "Minutes before display sleep" & return & "Between 1 and 180 mintues" & return & "Greater than 180 means never sleep" default answer "1" buttons {"Cancel", "OK"} default button 2)
    set Sleeptime to Sleeptime as number
    if Sleeptime is less than 1 then
    set exitflag to false
    else if Sleeptime is greater than 180 then
    set Sleeptime to 0
    set exitflag to true
    else
    set exitflag to true
    end if
    end repeat
    end try
    set Sleeptime1 to Sleeptime as string
    set Sleeptime1 to quoted form of Sleeptime1
    set psswd to quoted form of "XXXXX"
    do shell script "sudo pmset -a displaysleep " & Sleeptime1 password psswd
    set pete to do shell script "sudo pmset -g"
    set xx to text -2 thru -1 of pete
    if xx - Sleeptime = 0 then
    tell application "SEC Helper"
    show screen message "Worked:" & return & xx & " mintues"
    end tell
    else
    tell application "SEC Helper"
    show screen message "Failed!"
    end tell
    end if

    1) don't use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script'. It isn't necessary and will sometimes break.
    2) do not use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script'
    3) do not use... I'm sure you get the idea.
    It is not necessary to use 'sudo' in a 'do shell script' command. 'do shell script' itself takes care of the authentication element when you use 'with administrator privileges'. Therefore the appropriate way of doing this is:
    <pre class=command>do shell script "pmset -g displaysleep " & sleeptime1 with administrator privileges password psswd</pre>
    If you omit the 'password psswd' element the user will be prompted to authenticate using the standard system authentication dialog.
    The problem you're running into is that the 'password' parameter is only valid when you use 'with adminitrator privileges', and is therefore getting ignored in your current script.

  • Pass multiple Automator variables to Run Shell Script?

    I have two Automator variables I'd like to pass to Run Shell Script. I'm missing something obvious, but how is this done?
    Thanks in advance

    i don't know a nice way to do it but in general any input passed to a shell script will be stored in $@ if input is passed as arguments.
    in particular, if you stack two "get value of variable actions" one after another and follow it by "run shell script" both variables will be stored in $@ as a list. just try it out with the default
    for f in "$@"
    do
    echo "$f"
    done
    You'll see that both variables will be echoed.

  • Moving files into directory using shell script

    Can someone tell me how I move files into directory using *nix/linux shell script?
    I have files which created from stored procedures using utl_file. The files name for example:
    DKH_104_12345
    DKE_101_42324242
    DKH_102_32432
    DKE_101_34553
    Then I create directories automatically for example:
    /oradata/apps/dmp/output/101
    /oradata/apps/dmp/output/102
    /oradata/apps/dmp/output/103
    /oradata/apps/dmp/output/104
    Using this procedure :
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Xorganize AS
    v_item VARCHAR2(5);
    v_DirName VARCHAR2(50);
    v_FileName VARCHAR2(50):='xorganize';
    v_FileExt VARCHAR2(5):='.sh';
    v_ID UTL_FILE.file_type;
    CURSOR res IS
    --find the directory name from table
    SELECT brn_cde FROM vcr_brn_cde ORDER BY 1;
    BEGIN
    --used by utl.file funtion
    SELECT PRD_DIR INTO v_DirName
    FROM CR_SYS_PRM
    WHERE CLT_CDE ='FIF';
    SELECT v_FileName||v_FileExt INTO v_FileName FROM dual;
    v_ID:=UTL_FILE.FOPEN(v_DirName,v_FileName, 'w');
    utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','@@echo OFF');
    utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','cls');
    utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','echo Reorganizing ...');
    OPEN res;
         LOOP
              FETCH res INTO v_item;
              EXIT WHEN res%NOTFOUND;
              utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','mkdir '||v_item);
         END LOOP;
    CLOSE res;
    OPEN res;
         LOOP
              FETCH res INTO v_item;
              EXIT WHEN res%NOTFOUND;
              utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','move _'||v_item||'_.* '||v_item||'\');
         END LOOP;
    CLOSE res;
    utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','FOR /F "usebackq delims=" %%1 IN (`dir /b *.`) DO @rd/q %%1');

    utl_file.PUTF(v_ID,'%s\n','echo Reorganizing ...Done');
    utl_file.fclose(v_ID);
    END;
    Everything works fine, BUT, the script is generated in dos/windows scripting.
    Now I need to run the script in *nix/linux shell, which I still can’t do it (because of my knowledge :p).
    And also I don’t know if the script already generated in *nix/linux shell version, how do I chmod +x the script from stored procedure, I can’t use ‘host’ command in my tools
    Thanks a lot

    If you're using 9i then UTL_FILE.FRENAME() will execute something like a Unix mv command.
    If you want to do a chmod then you'll need to check out how to use a Java Stored Procedure to execute OS calls.

  • Process Flow - User Defined object calling Unix Shell script not working

    Hi, I have a User Defined Object in a Process Flow with the following parameters :-
    Command: /usr/bin/ksh
    Parameter List:
    Result Code:
    Script: cd /shell_scripts
    ./dwh_get_datafile.sh param1 param2 param3
    Success Threshold: 0
    The script executes but it does not correctly interpret all the Unix commands within it e.g command such as FTP, DATE, GREP etc.
    In the job details I can see :-
    ./dwh_get_datafile.sh: date: not found
    ./dwh_get_datafile.sh: ftp: not found
    ./dwh_get_datafile.sh: grep: not found
    ./dwh_get_datafile.sh: rm: not found
    ./dwh_get_datafile.sh: ls: not found
    ./dwh_get_datafile.sh: awk: not found
    Anyone know what I have done wrong ?
    The script runs fine when run as a Unix script while logged into Telnet.
    Thanks.

    The shell script is executed by the oracle user in the unix environment so make sure that the directorie where you can find the unix commands exists in the path for the oracle user in .profile as you can se in my example below.
    PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$OWBHOME/bin:/ASW/ora_script:/local/bstat:/usr/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/bin; export PATH

  • LoginHook Shell Script not running?

    I have a very simple login shell script (open http://pathtowebsite.local) that I have set as a LoginHook. When running the script from the Terminal, it opens the website, as expected. However, on login it appears that something happens, the menu bar flashes and disappears until you click on something, but the website doesn't open. The permissions are set properly, and it is executable. The script is located in the global /Library folder in a folder I created called Management, though I also tried putting it in the /Users/Shared directory in case it was an access issue.
    Any ideas on what I might do to resolve this issue? I can't seem to get it to actually kick off at user login like it should.

    The LoginHook environment is minimum. There is NO PATH
    pwd: /
    id -a: uid=0(root)
    gid=0(wheel)
    egid=80(admin)
    groups=0(wheel),
    1(daemon),
    2(kmem),
    8(procview),
    29(certusers),
    3(sys),
    9(procmod),
    4(tty),
    5(operator),
    80(admin),
    20(staff)
    $1: thelogin_person'susername
    printenv:
    PWD=/
    SHLVL=1
    SECURITYSESSIONID=449a3aa0
    _=/usr/bin/printenv
    Notice, no PATH, no USER environment variables, just about nothing as an environment.
    So there is no way for the LoginHook to find the 'open' command.
    Try changing your script to /usr/bin/open
