How to unzip files in Shell script

Hi Gurus,
I have one requirement, where in I need to unzip files at at unix level and then move to the respective folders. How can I code this in the shell script.
As it is entirely new thing, please let me know how to do this. Seeking few program steps.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Nagendra

You can specify unzip -d directory to tell unzip where to extract the files. For instance:
dest_dir="/tmp/$(date +%N)"
# zip file is cmd line argument $1
unzip -d $dest_dir "$1"
cd $dest_dirI don't know of any way to automatically go to a zip'ed directory stored inside the zip file. Besides, where do you want to go in case there are several directories stored?

How to get ORA errors in alertlog file using shell script.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to get all ORA errors between two particular times in an alertlog file using shell script.
Thanks

Hi,
You can define the alert log as an external table, and extract messages with SQL, very cool:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_oracle_alert_log_sql_external_tables.htm
If you want to write a shell script to scan the alert log, see here:

# exclude file format:
# error_number error_number
# error_number ...
# i.e. a string of numbers with the ORA- and any leading zeroes that appear

Passing params from SQL file to Shell Script and then from Shell to SQL Fil

Afternoon guys,
Have a fun question for all you gurus in shell scripting out there. I have a shell script that is calling 2
different SQL programs. My objective is to pass a variable called request_number from one sql program
to the shell script and then from the shell script back to another SQL program. I will explain why I
need this to happen.
Here is what the shell script looks like which calls sql programs student_load_a.sql and
student_load_b.sql. Student_load_a.sql basically creates the control file (.ctl) which is needed for the
SQL*Loader and then student_load_b.sql reads the table that was just loaded and does the main
processing. My main objective here is to be passing the request_number which is being generated
using an Oracle Sequence in student_load_a.sql and using this generated number in my main
processing in student_load_b.sql to select records from the table based on request_number.
Any ideas ?Any help or recommendations is welcome and appreciated.
*1. Shell Script*

How come you are mixing WinDoze script (*.exe) with Unix?
You are aware that you will be passing the password along with the user id to the second sql script?
I will assume Unix ksh:
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
# Create control files for sqlload
p_seqno=`sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_a.sql $p_job_id`
exit_status=$?
# Do sqlloads
sqlldr userid=$p_user_id control=student_load-$p_job_id.ctl \
       log=student_load-$p_job_id.log \
       bad=student_load-$p_job_id.bad
exit_status=$?
# Main processing
# sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_request_number
sqlplus -s $p_user_id @$STUDENT_PATH/student_load_b.sql \
           $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_seqno
exit_status=$?
exit 0And the first sql script would look like this:
-- student_load_a.sql
-- Accept system input parameters
set echo off pages 0 feed off lin 80 trims on ver off
def p_job_id = &1
col seqno NEW_VALUE seqno
select request_number_seq.nextval seqno from dual;
set term off
spool student_load-$p_job_id.ctl
select
'append into table TMP_STUDENT_LOAD
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '','' optionally enclosed by ''"''
trailing nullcols
(request_number CONSTANT ''&&seqno'',
student_id)'
from   dual
spool off;
exit 0;
{code}

How do i create a "shell script" as root? [SOLVED]

Really a newbie question, i know, but any how.
I just downloaded and installed a google-drive client and is about to set it all up. Following a guide from github.
https://github.com/astrada/google-drive … tomounting
"Create a shell script named gdfuse in /usr/bin (as root) with this content:"
There were no explanation how to create a shell script. So i just want to know how du i do that?
I assume it's really simple, when logged in as su in a terminal, but shell script is new to me.
I read a tutorial on creating scripts, (http://linuxcommand.org/wss0010.php) but dont know how to create the actual file. e.g. if i open leafpad and try to save it in the /usr/bin i presume it's not as root. Or shall i open thunar as root and do it that way?

There's seldom need to run graphical application as root. For editing as root, it's best to stick to a text-based editor.
One of the first hits on a ddg search for 'how to create a shell script' was http://www.linfo.org/create_shell_1.html

Calling HTML File in Shell Script.

Hi
I have a shell script and a HTML file.
HTML file is to create a Table.
the HTML Script is as follows
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Requisition Number</td><td>$PARAM0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Purcahse Order Number</td><td>$PARAM4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Purchase Line Number</td><td>$PARAM5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Hold Reason</td><td>$PARAM3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Hold Date</td><td>$PARAM2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The output of this HTML file is a table with 5 rows and 2 columns.
I saved this file as mail.html and placed it in the server where i have placed the Shell Script.
When i call this HTML in Shell Script ... as follow
cat /FND_TOP/bin/mail.html
the output is not the table but infact the html tags are displayed.
I need the table when i run this shell script.
It would be of great help if anyone has a good solution for this.
Thanks in Advance

First, you need to put the file where your httpd server (you will need apache running) can find it. This is usually some place like:
/var/www/html/table.htmlThen use a text-mode browser as Frits suggested to render it so your script can read it:
#!/bin/sh
lynx -dump http://localhost/table.html | while read row; do
    echo "${row}"
doneor how ever you want to process the data.
Another approach is to use XML transformations. First write an XML stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/02/xpath-functions" version="1.0">
     <xsl:output indent="no" method="text" standalone="yes" version="1.0"/>
     <xsl:template match="*">
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </xsl:template>
     <xsl:template match="td">
          <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
          <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/>
     </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>and then run your HTML through the {font:Courier}xsltproc{font} processor:
$ xsltproc table.xsl table.html
Requisition Number $PARAM0
Purcahse Order Number $PARAM4
Purchase Line Number $PARAM5
Hold Reason $PARAM3
Hold Date $PARAM2To be neat, I have omitted the many blank lines that were also output.

Return Files from shell script

I have an automator workflow I'm working on that will take FLACs and convert them to AIFF. I do the brunt of the work in a bash script. I have that working just fine, but I'm wanting to output an array (or however I need to do it) of files to then pass to "Import Audio Files". How could I output something that "Import Audio Files" will like from my shell script? Thanks.

... nevermind. *slaps himself in the head* Just echoing works...

How do I run a shell script via AppleScript?

Seems obvious, "do shell script" but that doesn't work for me.
I have an Automator app which runs a shell script, I'd like to take that into an AppleScript. My AS doesn't run the shell script. Perhaps "do shell script' is expecting the script to be located elsewhere? The rest of my AS runs fine, but the shell script doesn't.
repeat with i from 1 to count of items in exportFolder
do shell script
          "exiftool -overwrite_original -Photoshop:CopyrightFlag='True'"
done
end repeat
As I say this works within an Automator app, what changes do I need to make it work in AppleScript?
Thanks!

Camelot wrote:

What is 'exportFolder'? Where is it defined?
Thanks, 'exportFolder' is defined earlier in the script. The purpose of the script - which is run from within Aperture - is to rename the selected images, export them (to the 'exportFolder'), reset the version name and, using ExifTool, add metadata which Aperture does not write to exported JPEGs.
I have a version of this which works in Automator but I couldn't see any clues there on setting the path to ExifTool.
Here's the full (modified) script. Currently it returns an error
Result:
error "No file specified" number 1
so I now need to understand if I can use 'exportFolder' (defined at the start) to tell Finder which folder to use.

How to pass variables to shell script?

I have a shell script which uses the touch command to change the date of a file. To run the command on the command line the syntax is:
set-file-date.sh <file> <date>
I'm trying to run it from an automator workflow, so I'm prompted for the date, then the workflow iterates over the finder items, i.e., files, and changes the date of each files.
The problem is in the "Run Shell Script" action. The $@ is substituted with the file names selected in finder, so this will echo the file names:
for i in "$@"; do
echo "$i"
done
What I want to do is something like this:
for i in "$@"; do
set-file-date.sh <DATE VARIABLE> "$i"
done
But I can't prompt for the date value, and pass it to the script. I've tried using the "Get Value of Variable" and the "Ask For Text" actions. I can either get the file names from finder OR the text input in the "Ask for Text" action, but not both.
Is what I'm trying to do possible with a shell script?
-Thanks

This is standard AppleScript text concatenation...
set howManyWords to do shell script "wc -w /path/to/file | awk '{print $1}'"
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/growlnotify -t 'Corpus' -m '" & howManyWords & " words were added to the corpus.'"
in other words, just use the & to concatenate the parts of your text together.

How to Perform File- Place via Scripting (CS5)

Hi all,
Photoshop contains the option of directly placing one graphic file onto the currently active layer via the menu with File-> Place.
How do I do this in scripting?

@xbytor2: Thanks for the quick response.
I noticed that File->Place does not bring the image's clipping path along with the image. Does your example do that, and if not, would you have any idea how?
