How to avoid password prompt in shell script for zip password protection

Hi
I am trying to set password protection to my oracle database export backup. Once the backup completed, it should compress with a password protection. Thats the plan. Initialy we were using the gzip for the compression. Then realized that there is no password protection for the gzip. Started using zip option. I tried using
zip -P <password> filename
But it was throwing below error.
-bash-3.2$ zip -P expreports REPORTS_2013FEB14.dmp
zip warning: missing end signature--probably not a zip file (did you
zip warning: remember to use binary mode when you transferred it?)
zip warning: (if you are trying to read a damaged archive try -F)
zip error: Zip file structure invalid (REPORTS_2013FEB14.dmp)
Not quite sure why.
Then I used zip -e REPORTS_2013FEB14.dmp.zip REPORTS_2013FEB14.dmp
But this prompting for the password. As I am trying to put the command in the script. It will be tough if it prompts for the password.
I would like to know how to avoid the password prompting by saving somewhere or how the code should be written. Tried using expect feature of shell script. Below was the code I tried. It didnt work.
[oracle@SF40V6636 test]$ cat repexp.sh
zip -e REPORTS_imp.log.zip REPORTS_imp.log
expect "Enter password:"
send "imprep"
expect "Verify password:"
send "imprep"
So please help in avoiding this password prompt or let me know how to change the code.
Thanks

How about using gpg and adding a secret key to the requirement of a password? No one should be able to decrypt your file, not by knowing only the password.
1. Generate a public and private key pair:
$ gpg --gen-key
When it shows "We need to generate a lot of random bytes…" open another terminal session and type "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null" to create traffic. When the public and secret key created and signed you can Ctrl-C the dd command.
To see what you have created:
$ gpg --list-keys
2. Encrypt and gzip your stuff:
$ tar zcf stuff.tgz file_or_folder
$ gpg recipient "Some Name" encrypt stuff.tgz
$ rm -f stuff.tgz
3. Decrypt and extract the archive:
$ gpg batch yes --passphrase "password" -d stuff.tgz.gpg > stuff.tgz
$ tar zxvf stuff.tgz
Again, knowing the password alone will not let anybody decrypt your stuff.

How to embed applescript into a shell script for notification center

I have managed to cobble this together:
You can run it in your Terminal, it is harmless, and will output results that will show you a notification from notification center:
I have items on my pasteboard as the results of a script, I want to pbpaste them into the below command, but can't get the syntax right. I am not objectionable to string concatenation and building or whatever it takes.
osascript -e 'display notification "The url(s) are on your clipboard from my.app" with title "my.app has finished" subtitle "Some Sub title"'
Ideally, I want to put `pbpaste` in the "Some title" section, but I get the literal string. I try creating a variable, and get that literal string.
I tried building the entire string up as one variable, which in the Terminal echo'd out and works, but in Notification Center, I get the actually literal variable. It's mainly a bash script, so the context witch to AppleScript i being a pain in the rear.
Suggestions? Any master out there that this makes any sense to?

As it stands, and the way you have your notification structured, this is the output from the notification center. I did an echo "From the clipboard" | pbcopy before I ran the following script. It uses a Bash function, osascript HERE document, and shows how to pass variables to the function, and receive them in AppleScript. If you want substring text that is not the result of pbpaste, then you can either make the string inside the AppleScript, or pass the string in as a variable.
To get this output, I used the following Bash/Osascript combination:
#!/bin/bash
#osascript -e 'display notification "The url(s) are on your clipboard from
#my.app" with title "my.app has finished" subtitle "Some Sub title"'
function notification () {
`osascript <<-AppleScript
 set txt1 to "The URL(s) are on your clipboard from "
 set txt2 to " has finished"
 set appName to "$1" as text
 set subStr to "$2" as text
 set noteStr to txt1 & appName
 set titleStr to appName & txt2
 tell application "System Events"
 display notification noteStr with title titleStr subtitle subStr
 delay 1 -- give notification time to fire
 end tell
 return quit
AppleScript`
appName="foo.app"
#echo $appName
subTitle="$(pbpaste)"
#echo $subTitle
notification "${appName}" "${subTitle}"
exit 0

Shell script adapter and passwords

Does anyone know how to get a password into a shell script resource adapter?
I've set up the "password" attribute in my resource adapter's schema, expecting at least to see the encrypted password in in $WSUSER_password, but it's always empty. Other attributes I add to the resource scheme show up in the scripts as shell variables just fine.
Side question - the Solaris resource adapter, which looks a lot like the shell script adapter, doesn't even have a password in its schema map, yet it seems to set passwords just fine. What's up with that?
The ShellScriptResourceObjects55.xml example doesn't seem to deal with passwords at all.

Hi,
Have you been able to resolve this issue?
I am currently working on configuring a Shell Script Resource on my IDM system.
I am still in the "*Create User"* stage of things (I haven't even begun working with the other Actions : Get User, Get All Users, Delete User, Update User)
After a month-long period of trial-and-error, and a lot of headaches, I finally succeeded in Creating a new user on my Unix Machine, without any errors
Except for one thing : for some reason, the user I create is not being given a password!
A first, I configured the "Attribute Mapping" page to include a "Password" attribute. This did not work.
Then I removed the password from there (I figured that when I input the user's basic information on the IDENTITY tab in IDM, then the password gets automatically passed to the Unix machine).
Still, this did not work.
The funniest thing is : I am not getting any errors. The user is created on my Unix machine. And, also, in my My-SQL database.
The problem is : when I try to log into that same Unix machine as the user, it does not work, because......of course.....*.there is NO PASSWORD*.
What could be the problem?

Shell script that required password

Hi,
I'm using an automator script to upload some files to a remote Linux server, and I'm using rsync in an automator shell script action.
That command required a password to work, how can I enter the password in the shell script action?
Thanks

Thanks for your answer, but as I'm no expert in AS,
I'm not sure to understand your answer.
How do those parameters are sent to AS?
You put it in the statement:
do shell script "rsync /source /dest" password "xyzzy" user name "you"
You can set up a keychain for the password and retrieve it when needed, to be secure in your code. Post back or head over to AS forum, we'll help you out. http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724
I suppose it can be run within Automator using a run
AS instead of a run shell script. As my automator do
some other task too.
Yes, Automator has Run AppleScript action.
And yes, you're right, iWeb publishing that is! Good
guest!
I saw some of your posts in iWeb board.
I'm mucking around with iWeb, it's a bloated monster. There are quite a few restrictions in iWeb, I had to hand code some of the stuffs, such as meta data keywords, tricky stuffs... I'm thinking of writing a script for post production.

How to avoid the prompt when verifing signature?

I sign the doc with my cert.
The cert is not trusted by Acrobat/Reader itself so when i try to verify the signature Acrobat/Reader will prompt the user cert is not trusted.
My question is how to avoid this prompt through Acrobat SDK or how to add my cert to trusted cert list through Acrobat SDK?
Thanks.

You will also see the BER Decoding error when you have a self-signed peer-to-peer cert in your Windows Cert Store, even if it is not the signature you are using to sign.
Start > Run > certmgr.msc
Look for any certs that have "peer-to-peer" in the Intended Purpose column
Remove that cert
Restart Acrobat
Give that a shot.
Patrick,I have not found the Intended purpose of cert names "peer-to-peer".
But I have just found the cert which will cause the signature failure.
The key is the cert can not be removed.
I'm very curious that why a cert has no relationship with the signature could cause the signature failure?
Is it a BUG of Acrobat/Adobe Reader?
If not how can i operate successfully?
Thanks.

Help needed in shell script for FTPS

Hi,
Im trying to build a script to download files from a secure FTP site.
When I run the command ftps <host_address> in the unix prompt, it asks username and password, and then prompts the following question.
Do you want to trust this certificate? y(y):
From the prompt, I am able to type 'y' and then it is connecting to the FTP site without any issue.
When i run the shell script which contains the same command ftps <host_address>, it prompts the same question. And then it comes out of the program saying 'Connection aborted'.
Could anyone tell me how to avoid this prompt?
Thanks,
Vidhya

Ya. It worked for me when i typed the command ftps <host_address> in the command prompt.
When I type this command, it is asking for username,pwd and after that, it is asking 'Do you want to trust this certificate?'. For this i have typed 'y' (Yes) in the command prompt.
After i entered 'y', the connection got established properly.
I have included this command in a shell script, and ran this script.
When i execute the script, i asks 'Do you want to trust this certificate?'.
Since i will not be able to type 'y'(Yes) connection is getting aborted.
So, I want to know how to avoid this question ot how to enter 'y' while executing the script.
Thanks

Hi ASP
It's always a good idea to write entries to timestamped log file without which you will never know where the script went wrong or failed.
This is not tested but just a small example
#!/bin/sh
export LOG_DIR=/tmp/log
export LOGFILE=$LOG_DIR/`basename $0`_${TIMESTAMP}.log
if [ ! -d $LOG_DIR ]
then
mkdir $LOG_DIR
fi
echo "Removing the temporary files from /tmp/dbmon at `date +%Y%m%d_%H:%M:%S`" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
rm -f /tmp/dbmon/DB1*
CONNSTRING=username/PASSWORD@service
echo "Run SQLPlus file" | tee -a $LOG_FILE
sqlplus -s $CONNSTRING @/tmp/STATS.sql << EOF
EXIT;
EOF
echo "Now FTP the files to windows box " | tee -a $LOG_FILE
HOST='xxxxx'
USER='xxxxx'
PASSWD='xxxxxx'
cd /tmp/dbmon
ftp -vn $HOST <<EOF
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
ascii
cd E:\STATS
mput DB1.*
bye
EOF

What are you trying to do exactly?

How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g and also need to remove 2 days of old backup.

How to write shell script for export full backup in oracle 11g
Do you mean that export is your backup strategy ? is your database running in noarchivelog mode ? if so, then why ? if not so, then why not RMAN ?
need to remove 2 days of old backup.
If that mean remove files older than 2 days, you can use something like this :
$ find <absolute directory path> -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \;
