Small Shell Script Doubt

I Have a cmd file
i dont understand what these lines are inside that .cmd file ..
echo Starting FTP ... >> /u03/app/oracle/admin/s7/s7.log
date >>/u03/app/oracle/admin/s7/s7.log
echo ----Start Uploading the Employer Master Table---->> /u03/app/oracle/admin/s7/s7.log
echo End Date/Time ---
date >> u03/app/oracle/admin/s7/s7.log
My Question is ..are these lines are Automatically generated ?
and what is this operator in Unix *>>*
Thank you all in Advance,
Data Boy

Hey Data Boy,
the >> symbol is a redirect symbol to contatenate some output to a file. For example, what you have shown us will add the following to the /u03/app/oracle/admin/s7/s7.log file.
Starting FTP ...
Wed Nov 12 09:15:12 PST 2008
----Start Uploading the Employer Master Table----
End Date/Time ---
Note, the date is also listed from the line date >>/u03/app/oracle/admin/s7/s7.log
P.S. To re-create the file just use the > (single arrow) redirect symbol. It will delete the current file and start over. Then you can use the >> (double arrow) symbol to keep adding to the file.

Wireless network (and a shell script for you guys, also)

I don't know the right way to bring up my wireless iface at bootup, so I wrote a small shell script to do it for me.
Feel free to use it if you find it useful..
I'd also appreciate someone telling me what *IS* the arch way of doing what my shell script's doing

what would the benefit of that be, as compared to my script ?
the shell script i made (and pasted) works just fine, sits in /etc/rc.d and is called by /etc/rc.conf

Using a UNIX shell script to run a Java program (packaged in a JAR)

Hi,
I have an application (very small) that connects to our database. It needs to run in our UNIX environment so I've been working on a shell script to set the class path and call the JAR file. I'm not making a lot of progress on my own. I've attached the KSH (korn shell script) file code.
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows how to set the class path and / or call the JAR file.
loggedinuser="$(whoami)"
CFG_DIR="`dirname $0`"
EXIT_STATUS=${SUCCESS}
export PATH=/opt/java1.3/bin:$PATH
OLDDIR="`pwd`"
cd $PLCS_ROOT_DIR
java -classpath $
EXIT_STATUS=$?
cd $OLDDIR
echo $EXIT_STATUS
exit $EXIT_STATUS

Hi,
I have an application (very small) that connects to
our database. It needs to run in our UNIX environment
so I've been working on a shell script to set the
class path and call the JAR file.
#!/bin/sh
exec /your/path/to/java -cp your:class:paths:here -MoreJvmOptionsHere your.package.and.YourClass "$@"Store this is a file of any name, e.g. yuckiduck, and then change the persmissions to executechmod a+x yuckiduckThe exec makes sure the shell used to run the script does not hang around until that java program finishes. While this is only a minor thing, it is nevertheless infinite waste, because it does use some resources but the return on that investment is 0.
CFG_DIR="`dirname $0`"You would like to fetch the directory of the installation out of $0. This breaks as soon as someone makes a (soft) link in some other directory to this script and calls it by its soft linked name. Your best bet if you don't know a lot of script programming is to hardcode CFG_DIR.
OLDDIR="`pwd`"
cd $PLCS_ROOT_DIRVery bad technique in UNIX. UNIX supports the notion of a "current directory". If your user calls this program in a certain directory, you should assume that (s)he does this on purpose. Making your application dependent on a start in a certain directory ignores the very helpful concept of 'current directory' and is therefore a bug.
cd $OLDDIRThis has no effect at all because it only affects the next two lines of code and nothing else. These two lines, however, don't depend on the current directory. In particular this (as the cd above) does not change the current directory for the interactive shell your user is working in.
echo $EXIT_STATUS
exit $EXIT_STATUSEchoing the exit status is an interesting idea, but if you don't do this for a very specific purpose, I recommend not to do this for the simple reason that no other UNIX program does it.

Passing parameters in a shell shel script

Hi everybody,
I am working on a task which gets report on every remote database.
I created a small database: ‘REPORTS_DB’ and I created 6 'sql' scripts on that database. While executing the first script, it calls the other 5 different 'sql' scripts. All these 5 sql scripts use a '@db_link' (hard coded) and gets that database's report to the database: REPORT_DB.
It is working good. But,
We have 42 databases and I have to get reports of all the 42 databases. Since it is not efficient to create 42 sets of sql scripts, I want to make it automated.
I know (but I don't know HOW) I can pass a parameter (database link name) while running the first script (which calls the other 5 scripts), so that the parameter replaces the @db_link in all the 5 scripts and gets the report of the related (@db_link) database.
Could somebody send me a sample shell script to do this task?
OR, is there any way to do this task without using shell script ?
(BTW, we are using korn shell on sun Solaris)
Thanks in advance.

Shell script for DB

Hi,
I have written shell script for below scenarios, can you please guide me to write this as correct way, requirment is,
1. i need to connect the database which is on unix server , but before connecting the DB some of the files needs to be removed from \tmp directory.
2. once removed the script need to connect the database and call the sql file which is in \tmp directory.
3. the output files will be stored in \tmp directory start with DB name.
4. finally csv files needs to be transferred to local windows with help of FTP. please find below the script
#!/bin/sh
rm -f /tmp/dbmon/DB1*
CONNSTRING=username/PASSWORD@service
sqlplus -s $CONNSTRING @/tmp/STATS.sql << EOF
EXIT;
EOF
HOST='xxxxx'
USER='xxxxx'
PASSWD='xxxxxx'
FILE='E:\STATS\DB1.*'
cd /tmp/dbmon
ftp -n -v $HOST << EOT
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
mput $FILE
bye
EOT
EXIT;
EOF
Thanks
Edited by: ASP on Nov 18, 2011 4:45 PM

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

How to exec. stored procedure having out parameter value in shell script ?

Hi Gurus,
I am writing a shell script which is calling a SP having out parameter as varchar2.
So how can i do this in shell scripting ? (I am a new in shell scripting)
a simple example is preferred.
Thanks
Sandy

So how can i do this in shell scripting ? Assuming you want to assign the out parameter value to a shell variable, here's a small example :
SQL> select ename from emp where empno=7902;
ENAME
FORD
SQL> create or replace procedure show_name (
2     v_empno in number,
3     v_ename out varchar2)

6     select ename into v_ename from emp
7     where empno = v_empno;
8 end;

Call Unix Shell Script From OBIEE

Hi All,
Is it possible to do a call to a Unix Shell Script with the Action Framework from OBIEE.
Thanks in Advance

I dont think so but we can go for it instead of BI side. Try to port the same functionality on shell script side, so that the script can identify your report using tail of nqquery log and execute the rest of your lines in shell script.
This can doable and works as expected. If at all you are going with my suggestion you can go for a small key word to identify your report instead of that lengthy logical query.
Pls mark if helps

How to use "do shell script" when Terminal replies with a prompt?

Hey all,
I'm wondering how to properly use "do shell script" when Terminal replies with a question? In this example, I'm building a small tool in AppleScript that will auto-update the Android SDK via command line prompts. The problem is when I tell it to update all ("update sdk --no-ui"), I need to accept licence agreements before it continues, and the amount of licence agreements brought up is different every time.
So, basically, I'm wondering how to handle a case where "do shell script" encounters a case where Terminal would normally need a user's response to?
Thanks,
Behn

If it is variable number of prompts that is a problem. Look around hd and figure out how many prompts there will be. Ask around android forum for a bash solution. There are some test case apps that will let you put conditionals on output from running programs.
# traditional way. Pipe output to command.
do script "echo 'ok' | update sdk --no-u"
Here is the preferred way of getting administrator privileges.
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
    Author: rccharles
    For testing, run in the Script Editor.
      1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
      2) Click on Run
    For running shell commands see:
    http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html
on run
    -- Write a message into the event log.
    log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
    -- debug lines
    set unixDesktopPath to POSIX path of "/System/Library/User Template/"
    log "unixDesktopPath = " & unixDesktopPath
    set quotedUnixDesktopPath to quoted form of unixDesktopPath
    log "quoted form is " & quotedUnixDesktopPath
    try
        set fromUnix to do shell script "sudo ls -l " & quotedUnixDesktopPath with administrator privileges

Maybe if we stepped back and looked at the problem you are really trying to solve, not just the technique you've already decided on, there might be a better way. In fact, depending on your real problem, Oracle may have already solved it for you.

Automator: running forever after executing a shell script?

Hi,
so i have found this little automator workflow that will start MAMP's Apache & MYSQL servers automatically (saved workflow as app then put into my login item autostart) however the script just keeps running forever and never exits (which should prompt a small Growl notification as feedback.
The Script:
<pre class="jive-pre" style="white-space:pre-wrap;width:585px;">
on run {input, parameters}
*do shell script* "/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/apachectl start" password "my_password" user name "jannis" with administrator privileges
*do shell script* "/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld_safe --port=3306 --socket=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock --lowercase_tablenames=0 --pid-file=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.pid --log-error=/Applications/MAMP/logs/mysqlerrorlog &"
*do shell script* "exit 0"
return input
end run
</pre>
This is what shows when it runs:
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong for it to just keep spinning the little cog wheel and not exiting?
PS: Both services are being started successfully! So the shell scripts seem to be run and doing their job just fine, just that they do not exit.
Thanks for looking.
Jannis

This is a common question with do shell script. The issue is that mysqld_safe doesn't exit until MySQL shuts down, so your do shell script is hanging around waiting, essentially hanging your workflow.
The solution is to redirect the stdout and stderr of the mysqld_safe command to a temp file. This releases the hooks that do shell script has on the command allowing the workflow to continue. To do this, just append '> /dev/null 2>&1' to the end of the shell command, like:
do shell script "/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqld_safe --port=3306 --socket=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock --lowercase_tablenames=0 --pid-file=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.pid --log-error=/Applications/MAMP/logs/mysqlerrorlog >/dev/null 2>&1 &"
As an aside:
do shell script "exit 0"
This line is worthless. I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve here

Automator workflow "run shell script" keeps running. How to stop?

Because i want two instances of dropbox running simultaneously on my Mac, I set up a small automator workflow application. The workflow consist of a simple shell script:
Or in text:
bash
HOME=$HOME/Dropbox-quivertree /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox &
The problem is that once the application runs, or i execute the script from within automator, it just keeps running (i get the little cog in my menubar). Anybody have an idea how to automatically stop after it has launched dropbox?
Thanks!
Kim

I do not have dropbox on my computer, so I tested using the Calculator application. The solution proposed by Mattis S.F. does work, but his explanation does not hold true in my case. Initially, I successfully tried
HOME=$HOME/Dropbox-quivertree nohup /Applications/Calculator.app/Contents/MacOS/Calculator >/dev/null 2>&1 &
If I remove the “nohup”, the result does not change. Removal of the “/dev/null 2>&1”, however, results in the same problem originally described by Kim van der Leeuw. My guess is the background process has stdout and stderr redirected by default back to the automator. When redirected to /dev/null, the automator no longer waits for the background process to complete. To summarize, change
HOME=$HOME/Dropbox-quivertree /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox &
to
HOME=$HOME/Dropbox-quivertree /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox >/dev/null 2>&1 &
