Managing a potentially large number of bash scripts

Heres the situation, I have a particular bash script that gets called upon each time a certain function on a server occurs. This can occur many, many times and each specific script instance will be unique and do something slightly different.
For example (this is not what the script does), say the script uses wget to download a page, and then download all images associated with that page. The server could call that script, with several different urls (around 50, maximum) at the same time. From a management perspective its a little exhaustive to have 50 seperate terminals setup to monitor 50 seperate script's at the same time. The bash scripts are however, written in such a way that they output a 1-line status message including progress.
My question is, does there happen to be any sort of software to monitor things in this fashion? For example, have each one its own line in a queue style management interface, with several columns for displaying which script, what arguments and the current output of the script?

Canvas Resize to Square for a large number of images using script. E.g. image is currently 1020 x 600, I would like to change this to 1020 x 600. PLEASE HELP

Hi All,
I have a large number of images that I need to resize the canvas sizes to a square, the images are currently in different sizes. For example, if an image is 1020 x 600 I would like to change the canvas to 1020 x 1020 so that the image becomes a square. I am using CS3 and all the images are jpeg's. I have done research on scripts but the ones I have tried have not worked. Please help.
Thanks.

Since you do not want to crop your images to a square 1:1 aspect ratio changing the canvas to be square will not make your images square they will retain their Aspect Ratio and image size will be changer to fit within your 1020 px square. There will be a border or borders on a side or two borders on opposite sides. You do not need a script because Photoshop ships with a Plug-in script to be used in Actions. What is good about Plugins is the support Actions. When you record the action the plug-in during action recording records the setting you use in its dialog into the actions step. When the Action is played the Plug-in use the recorded setting an bypasses displaying its dialog. So the Action can be Batch. The Action you would record would have two Steps. Step 1 menu File>Automate>Fit Image... in the Fit Image dialog enter 1020 in the width and height fields. Step 2 Canvas size enter 1020 pixels in width and height not relative leave the anchor point centered it you want even borders on two sides set color to white in the canvas size dialog. You can batch the action.
The above script will also work. Its squares the document then re-sizes to 1020x1020 the action re-sizes the image to fit with in an area 1020 x 1020 then add any missing canvas. The script like the action only process one image so it would also need to be batched. Record the script into and action and batch the action. As the author wrote. The script re size canvas did not specify an anchor point so the default center anchor point is uses like the action canvas will be added to two sides.

Bash script: Rotate your wallpaper and SLiM theme at the same time

EDIT;
I've decided I should really thank Cerebral for his help with writing this script; this thank you should have been here from the get go.
After writing:
#!/usr/bin
echo "Hello World!"
I wrote a script to rotate my fluxbox background and SLiM theme at the same time, so I could have a contiuously changing background and still have a smooth transition from SLiM to fluxbox. (It just looks so much cooler when both have matching backgrounds). By the time you finish reading it, and configuring your box so it will work, you will probably have decided you could have writtin your own, better script to do the same thing. But, on the off chance anybody finds use for it, here it is:
(this should be obvious, but: don't run this script without at least reading the comments)
#!/bin/bash
#this is a script to rotate a number of backgrounds
#to be shared by the fluxbox desktop and SLiM login manager.
#it is the first meaningful script I've written. It may be
#freely distributed and used with the understanding that you are
#using it at your own risk.
#Before running this script you need to check that your SLiM
#themes are installed to the path /usr/share/slim/themes, which
#is the defulat path for installation in Arch. Here are some
#other things you need to set up:
#1. create (if you don't have it) the directory /usr/share/wallpapers
#2. create a wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers called 'dummy' by copying
#you current wallpaper to that filename
#3. set your window manager to display the wallpaper 'dummy', this works fine
#using a style overlay in fluxbox, I haven't tested it with any other window
#manager, but I don't see why this would cause a problem.
#4. create a directory /usr/share/slim/themes/current, you can copy one of
#your slim themes into that directory if you want. (this will prevent you
#from seeing some error messages the first time you run the script)
#5. define the names of the themes you want to rotate, in order for this
#script to work, you must name them "themeNUMBER", where NUMBER is replaced
#by an integer. Your themes must be numbered consecutively, start with 1
# that is:
#theme1 , theme2, theme3, etc. , theme305
#If you don't number consecutively, this script will not run properly. You
#must also define the total number of themes as "rotate_number"
#6. Check if the script runs, if it does, you should change /etc/slim.conf to
#use the theme "current"
#7. This theme will now rotate your SLiM theme and wallpaper in such a way as
#to make them match each other. Note that SLiM will not let you change themes
#"on the fly", (as of July 6, 2008), so changes will not be apparent unless you
#restart SLiM. I run the script before I run slim in my etc/rc.local local
#script, so each time I reboot I get different wallpaper / login background.
#Fred Drueck 2008
#Define here all themes to be rotated and the total number of
#themes to rotate:

oh i forgot to mention... its rotating while moving. i.e. is doesn't have to stop rotate and then continue back to origin.

Large number of FNDSM and FNDLIBR processes

hi,
description of my system
Oracle EBS 11.5.10 + oracle 9.2.0.5 +HP UX 11.11
problem : ther are large number of FNDSM , FNLIBR and sh processes during peak load around 300 , but even at no load these processes dont come down , though oracle processes
come down from 250 to 80 but these apps processes just dont get killed automatically .
can i kill these processes manually??
one more thing , even after stopping apllications with adstpall.sh , these processes dont get killed , is it normal??, so i just dismount database so as to kill these processes
and under what circumstances , should i run cmclean ?

Hi,
problem : ther are large number of FNDSM , FNLIBR and sh processes during peak load around 300 , but even at no load these processes dont come down , though oracle processesThis means there are lots of zombie processes running and all these need to be killed.
Shutdown your application and database and take a bounce of the server as there are too many zombie processes. I have once faced the issue in which due to these zombie process CPU utilization has gone to 100% on continuous count.
Once you restart the server, start database and listener run cmclean and start the application services.
one more thing , even after stopping apllications with adstpall.sh , these processes dont get killed , is it normal??, so i just dismount database so as to kill these processesNo it's not normal and should not be neglected. I should also advice you to run the [Oracle Application Object Library Concurrent Manager Setup Test|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=200360.1]
and under what circumstances , should i run cmclean ?[CMCLEAN.SQL - Non Destructive Script to Clean Concurrent Manager Tables|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=134007.1]
You can run the cmclean if you find that after starting the applications managers are not coming up or actual processes are not equal to target processes.
Thanks,

Mail - how to send to large number of recipients?

How can I send an email to a large number of recipients that I hold addresses for in a document without a) adding them to my contacts, and b) so that they can't all see each others addresses?

I thought about using BCC, but it seems a little messy although it would do the job.
Messy how? That's exactly what it's for. In fact, there's no other way to hide addresses from other recipients of the message. The only other way to do it would be to script automated sending of one message per address, and that would get quite messy!
What is the maximum number of recipients that Mail can handle?
There's no limit enforced by Mail, AFAIK. The limits come from the SMTP server you're using.
One of the issues I had when using Outlook on Windows for this by copying and pasting from a text document, was that if there was an invalid/non-existent address in the list, it would just return an error and I was never quite sure if the whole thing didn't send, or if it was just to the dodgy address(es).
In Mail, you'll just get a bounce message for any addresses that don't exist. The one exception to that is addresses on the same server that you're sending from... often, the server will simply reject the attempt to send to an address that it knows doesn't exist. I'm not sure what kind of message the server returns in that case, though, and suspect it depends on the server. It's been a while since I've seen such a problem.

How to remove large number of "sent" but still keep them available in case I need to search for something?

Over several years, I have accumulated some 1400 messages in the SENT folder.
Lately my Thunderbird is taking a long time for some actions that used to be instant, like selecting another message to read or delet.
I regularly remove incoming messages to keep the in-box under 300, and I have almost nothing in the other folders.
I tried changing the "local folders" to a different directory, but when I do that, all the old "sent" messages become un-available for searching and potentially continuing a conversation.
Is there a way to move the large number of "sent" messages from the "local folders" but still keep them available for access from within Thunderbird, in case I need something from past chains of replies?

Experience with creation of a large number of key figures

Hi:
I have a need to create a large number of Key Figures (at least about 50 of them) for DP use. Do you have any experience with automating this task if so, can you share your experience? Thanks.
Satish

Hi,
So far we have not come across a need to automate KF creation. And 50 KF is not a huge number, it would take may be a couple of hours to create them. Also, since it is a one time activity, developing an automation script for the same does not sound useful. You might want to consider creating them manually so that you can ensure all settings are proper.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

How do I delete large number of duplicates on my Itunes w/o Ctrl+Click

I have a large number of duplicates that were loaded onto my ITunes and I would like to delete them. So far the only way I have found is to go down the list one at a time and Ctrl+Click and then delete. Since Itunes can designate duplicates, is there a function for removing all the duplicates before I synch my ipod???
Windows XP

Itunes can't mass delete duplicates, but one of the forum member has written a script to do it, see:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
If you prefer to go commercial take a look at iTsync

Bash script doesn't work (Also, help me condense it)...

I am trying to make myself a bash script which combines files together based off of a config file. It is automating combining the audio book tracks I ripped of my CDs into chapters for easier reference. My first problem is that even though I used ', cat still thinks that everything is a separate file. My second problem is that it is way too long, any way I can have it automatically go up 1 chapter until a specified number (ie, until the value of the CHAPTERS variable)? Thanks to those who help.

That's a good one. And eval would work with simple examples, but once you have spaces and such in filenames it won't work I think.
If you are going to do this often, then there are too many things that can go wrong with a script that tries to automatically generate the filenames. Even 01* can go wrong.
So if you do have the filenames all in the .conf, then you can replace FILES= with cat and NAME= with >
The actual script doesn't add that much, except checking if it exists (just use > instead of >>) and if it isn't empty (not really necessary) (why did you put a license on that? is that even legal?)
So just use the .conf file as the main script.
Turn this:
BOOKDIR='/media/Home/aabbott/Star Wars Fate of the Jedi Outcast'
chapter01() {
FILES="'Outcast Disc 1'/{'01 Track 1','02 Track 2','03 Track 3','04 Track 4'}.mp3"

into this:
cd '/media/Home/aabbott/Star Wars Fate of the Jedi Outcast'
cat 'Outcast Disc 1'/{'01 Track 1','02 Track 2','03 Track 3','04 Track 4'}.mp3 > 'Chapter01.mp3'

Right?
Why would you build anything around that?
If you are sure the filenames are all the same, you can use *
cat *\ 1/*\ {1..4}.mp3 > Chapter01.mp3
cat *\ 100/*\ {70..99}.mp3 > Chapter99.mp3

Trouble copying a large number of objects using Acrobat X

Acrobat X is many times slower than Acrobat 9 when copying a large number of objects in a PDF. What used to take one second in Acrobat 9, now takes upwards of 45 seconds or longer in Acrobat X and often causes the application to crash. I am using 10.2.1 on OS X 10.6.8. Has anyone else experienced this performace difference or have any solutions? Any thoughts on the subject would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Since you do not want to crop your images to a square 1:1 aspect ratio changing the canvas to be square will not make your images square they will retain their Aspect Ratio and image size will be changer to fit within your 1020 px square. There will be a border or borders on a side or two borders on opposite sides. You do not need a script because Photoshop ships with a Plug-in script to be used in Actions. What is good about Plugins is the support Actions. When you record the action the plug-in during action recording records the setting you use in its dialog into the actions step. When the Action is played the Plug-in use the recorded setting an bypasses displaying its dialog. So the Action can be Batch. The Action you would record would have two Steps. Step 1 menu File>Automate>Fit Image... in the Fit Image dialog enter 1020 in the width and height fields. Step 2 Canvas size enter 1020 pixels in width and height not relative leave the anchor point centered it you want even borders on two sides set color to white in the canvas size dialog. You can batch the action.
The above script will also work. Its squares the document then re-sizes to 1020x1020 the action re-sizes the image to fit with in an area 1020 x 1020 then add any missing canvas. The script like the action only process one image so it would also need to be batched. Record the script into and action and batch the action. As the author wrote. The script re size canvas did not specify an anchor point so the default center anchor point is uses like the action canvas will be added to two sides.

Barcode CODE 128 with large number (being rounded?) (BI / XML Publisher 5.6.3)

After by applying Patch 9440398 as per Oracle's Doc ID 1072226.1, I have successfully created a CODE 128 barcode.
But I am having an issue when creating a barcode whose value is a large number. Specifically, a number larger than around 16 or so digits.
Here's my situation...
In my RTF template I am encoding a barcode for the number 420917229102808239800004365998 as follows:
<?format-barcode:420917229102808239800004365998;'code128c'?>
I then run the report and a PDF is generated with the barcode. Everything looks great so far.
But when I scan the barcode, this is the value I am reading (tried it with several different scanner types):
420917229102808300000000000000
So:
Value I was expecting: 420917229102808239800004365998
Value I actually got: 420917229102808300000000000000
It seems as if the number is getting rounded at the 16th digit (or so, it varies depending of the value I use).
I have tried several examples and all seem to do the same. But anything with 15 digits or less seems to works perfectly.
Any ideas?
Manny

Yes, I have.
But I have found the cause now.
When working with parameters coming in from the concurrent manager, all the parameters define in the concurrent program in EBS need to be in the same case (upper, lower) as they have been defined in the data template.
Once I changed all to be the same case, it worked.
thanks for the effort.

Problem fetch large number of records

Hi
I want to fetch large number of record from database.and I use secondary index database for improve performance for example my database has 100000 records and query fetch 10000 number of records from this database .I use secondary database as index and move to secondary database until fetch all of the information that match for my condition.but when I move to this loop performance terrible.
I know when I use DB_MULTIPLE fetch all of the information and performance improves but
I read that I can not use this flag when I use secondary database for index.
please help me and say me the flag or implement that fetch all of the information all to gether and I can manage this data to my language
thanks alot
regards
saeed

Hi Saeed,
Could you post here your source code, that is compiled and ready to be executed, so we can take a look at the loop section ?
You won't be able to do bulk fetch, that is retrieval with DB_MULTIPLE given the fact that the records in the primary are unordered by master (you don't have 40K consecutive records with master='master1'). So the only way to do things in this situation would be to position with a cursor in the secondary, on the first record with the secondary key 'master1' retrieve all the duplicate data (primary keys in the primary db) one by one, and do the corresponding gets in the primary database based on the retrieved keys.
Though, there may be another option that should be taken into consideration, if you are willing to handle more work in your source code, that is, having a database that acts as a secondary, in which you'll update the records manually, with regard to the modifications performed in the primary db, without ever associating it with the primary database. This "secondary" would have <master> as key, and <std_id>, <name> (and other fields if you want to) as data. Note that for every modification that your perform on the std_info database you'll have to perform the corresponding modification on this database as well. You'll then be able to do the DBC->c_get() calls on this database with the DB_MULTIPLE flag specified.
I have other question.is there any way that fetch information with number of record?
for example fetch information that located third record of my database.I guess you're refering to logical record numbers, like the relational database's ROW_ID. Since your databases are organized as BTrees (without the DB_RECNUM flag specified) this is not possible directly.You could perform this if use a cursor and iterate through the records, and stop on the record whose number is the one you want (using an incrementing counter to keep track of the position). If your database could have operated with logical record numbers (BTree with DB_RECNUM, Queue or Recno) this would have been possible directly:

How to send 2 variable value from bash script into java.class

#!/bin/bash
a=10
b=20
   echo $a $b | java addition
donehi there,
currently i have a simple java coding ( a + b ). and i m trying to connect with bash script but this bash script coudln't Enter 2nd value (b=20) while i running for it. may i know how do i can Enter 2 value into it?
output from terminal
[seng@localhost java_class]$ bash addition.sh
=======================================================================

Num_a       = 10
Num_b       = 20

=======================================================================

That code will send both numbers on a single line in standard input to the java process. So if the process reads standard input, it will get a single line that has this in it: "10 20".
I'm guessing you're sending that whole line to Integer.parseInt. But a valid number doesn't have a space in the middle.
You should split up the line using String.split. Or use a StringTokenizer. Or a regular expression. Or you can use a java.util.Scanner. Or a java.io.StreamTokenizer. Or maybe some other stuff that has slipped my mind at the moment.

Bash script workaround for intel backlight problems

Hi all,
I have LXDE with kernel 2.6.30, xf86-video-intel-newest (2.8 rc) on my Samsung NC10, and like many people I have been unable to change the backlight settings in X with kms turned on.
I have tried the various solutions on the forum and none of them work for me, so here are two little bash scripts that use the setpci command to change the backlight.
Note 1: I have a little file .backlight in my home dir that I store the backlight setting because I don't know how to read the value back from the pci address. So if you use this script you need to do this first:
echo FF > ~/.backlight
Note 2: These scripts also requre bc from extra to do the hex conversion & maths.
sudo pacman -Sy bc
It's only 240 K in size, but if you are trying to keep the number of installed packages low, then you won't like this

You also need to know the address of you graphics card:
lspci | grep Display
For me this returns:
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
This is needed for this command in the scripts:
sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 F4.B=$var3
Note the 00:02.1 is the address for my laptop screen, 00:02.0 is the address for the vga out controller for me.
Increase backlight:
#!/bin/bash
var1=`cat ~/.backlight`
var2=`echo "16 i $var1 F + p"|dc`
if (( ( "$var2" \> "-1") && ( "$var2" \< "256" ) ));
then
var3=`echo "10 i 16 o $var2 p"|dc`
echo $var3 > ~/.backlight
sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 F4.B=$var3
fi
Decrease backlight:
#!/bin/bash
var1=`cat ~/.backlight`
var2=`echo "16 i $var1 F - p"|dc`
if (( ( "$var2" \> "-1") && ( "$var2" \< "256" ) ));
then
var3=`echo "10 i 16 o $var2 p"|dc`
echo $var3 > ~/.backlight
sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 F4.B=$var3
fi
Obviously someone else can write a much smarter/better set of scripts than me, but I hope is can be of use for someone!
Edit:Here are my openbox bindings for the scripts:
<keybind key="XF86MonBrightnessUp">
<action name="Execute">
<command>~/bin/blightu.sh</command>
</action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="XF86MonBrightnessDown">
<action name="Execute">
<command>~/bin/blightd.sh</command>
</action>
</keybind>

FYI: The new xf86-video-intel (2.9) has just been released:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.fre … xorg/40733
According to the release announcement, the new driver fixes the backlight issue with KMS:
* Add support for BACKLIGHT property when using kernel modesetting
(KMS). This allows backlight adjustment with programs such as
"xbacklight -set <percentage>" or "xrandr --set BACKLIGHT <value>".
