[SOLVED] Change environment variables with Shell scripts

How can I change the "BROWSER" environment variable with a shell script; so I can change it on the fly?
Last edited by oldtimeyjunk (2012-10-31 12:57:42)

If you just want to do it for BROWSER so that you can change your default web browser on the fly, you could set BROWSER to e.g. ~/bin/mybrowser and create a symlink to the browser you want at ~/bin/mybrowser. Then you could change the symlink at will.
EDIT: man xdg-settings

Accessing shell environment variables inside OMBPlus script

Hi,
I have a problem accessing an environment variable inside OMBPlus script. I can 'see' the env. var values when using tclsh, but when I use OMBPlus.sh it doesn't work?
Anybody has an example of how to do this?
For example: puts $::env(MYVAR)
Thanks,
Ed

Hello!
Issue the command:
puts [array names env];
this will print you the content of the env array which is definitely not the environment variables.
If you want your environment variable appear in the env tcl variable then you must edit the ombplus.bat file and pass it through a java option like this:
-DMYENV="%MYENV%" (on windows assuming you declared MYENV).
Now puts $env(MYENV) will work.

SQL in Connection with shell scripts

Hello everyone,
I have a conceptual question:
If people like to implement their SQL-Scripts attached on a shell script(Ruby, Perl, or even OS-Shell), what are actually the benefits doing this? Can someone please give me a szenario, which is very effectively if we do it with combination with shell-script.
My second question: does oracle sql developer support this shell combination?
Thank you..

Wrapping sql script in a shell script provides flexibility. Shell can provide better parameter validation than SQL, better output handling, and better error trapping. Personally I would have the sql script separately for purist modularisation reasons, but you can merge the two.
e.g.
getdate.sql
select sysdate from dual;getdate.sh can look like this
sqlplus user/pwd @getdateor
sqlplus user/pwd <<EOSQL
@getdate
EOSQLor
sqlplus user/pwd <<EOSQL
select sysdate from dual;
exit
EOSQLMy preference would be for either of the first two.
You can use various shell facilities to capture the output of the sql statement for use elsewhere. Variations of the above example can be use to get the current database date and time into the shell environment for use in other queries, or in the shell itself.
You can run SQL Developer from the command line, but the tool of choice for command line is SQL Plus.

Need to enable Usage Tracking With Shell Script

Hi All
I have patch 11.1.1.6.7 installed in system. I have Redhat linux 6 sytem
Can we enable usage tracking with shell script ? if yes how ?
Thanks
Samit Baghla

Hi Samit,
No you can not as per my info because everything to be configured for the usage tracking is via repository and enterprise manager. You need to invoke it in em and rpd you need to do modelling. I still did not understand that why you want to create the shell script !!
Thanks,

[SOLVED] Pass Environment variables from PKGBUILD to .INSTALL script

Hi everyone,
I am trying to modify the grub2-efi-bzr (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38369) package making some changes in the PKGBUILD and the post-install script. I want to pass few environment variables from the PKGBUILD to the install script. How do I do that?
Some code from the PKGBUILD
_bzrtrunk="lp:grub/grub2" # GRUB2 BZR Main Trunk
# _bzrtrunk="lp:~skodabenz/grub/grub2-bzr-exp" # GRUB2 BZR Experimental Branch
_bzrmod="grub2"
if [ ${_bzrtrunk} = "lp:~skodabenz/grub/grub2-bzr-exp" ]
then
_bzrmod="grub2_exp"
pkgver="exp_${pkgver}"
fi
# grub-extras bzr repo locations
_bzrtrunk_zfs="lp:~skodabenz/grub/grub2-extras-zfs"
_bzrtrunk_lua="lp:~skodabenz/grub/grub2-extras-lua"
if [ "$CARCH" = 'i686' ]
then
_EFI_ARCH=i386
elif [ "$CARCH" = 'x86_64' ]
then
_EFI_ARCH=x86_64
fi
# _EFI_ARCH=x86_64 # Uncomment if you want to override the if condition for _EFI_ARCH above, incase the EFI ARCH does not match the Linux Kernel ARCH.
# $CARCH=x86_64 and _EFI_ARCH=i386 requires gcc-multilib with lib32-glibc installed in the system.
# I do not know about $CARCH=i686 and _EFI_ARCH=x86_64
if [ ${_EFI_ARCH} = "i386" ]
then
pkgver="${pkgver}_x86"
_trns_name="grub2_efi_x86"
elif [ ${_EFI_ARCH} = "x86_64" ]
then
pkgver="${pkgver}_x64"
_trns_name="grub2_efi_x64"
fi
Now the post-install script needs the values of _EFI_ARCH and _trns_name env variables. I do not want to copy the if statements to that script as these are decided at compile time but needed while setting up grub2-efi. This is due to the fact that EFI-ARCH need not match the Linux Kernel ARCH. How do I do that.
Code from the post-install script
${_trns_name}-install --root-directory=/ --no-floppy --recheck --debug
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/lua.mod /boot/${_trns_name}/
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/zfs.mod /boot/${_trns_name}/
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/zfsinfo.mod /boot/${_trns_name}/
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/unifont.pf2 /boot/${_trns_name}/
cp /usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi/ascii.pf2 /boot/${_trns_name}/
${_trns_name}-mkimage --verbose --directory=/usr/lib/${_trns_name}/${_EFI_ARCH}-efi --prefix="" --output=/boot/${_trns_name}/grub2.efi --format=${_EFI_ARCH}-efi ${_EFI_APP_MODULES}
Thank in advance.

Don't rely on %foo% existing -- it won't after the first build and this will prevent the PKGBUILD from being reentrant. I would use something like this (untested):

Your code works except for 1 problem in the install script I want
export __EFI_APP_MODULES="${_EFI_APP_MODULES}" (the passed ${_EFI_APP_MODULES} value should again come inside double quotes).
right now
export _EFI_APP_MODULES=ata part_gpt part_msdos fat ntfs ntfscomp ext2 iso9660 udf hfsplus fshelp normal chain linux ls search search_fs_file search_fs_uuid search_label help loopback boot configfile echo efi_gop efi_uga xnu xnu_uuid lvm
which is equivalent to
export _EFI_APP_MODULES=ata
I want
export _EFI_APP_MODULES="ata part_gpt part_msdos fat ntfs ntfscomp ext2 iso9660 udf hfsplus fshelp normal chain linux ls search search_fs_file search_fs_uuid search_label help loopback boot configfile echo efi_gop efi_uga xnu xnu_uuid lvm"
How to do it with sed since sed already uses double quotes?

[Solved] Control pulseaudio with shell script via pacmd

Hi,
i wrote a shell script that switches between the internal sound card and an usb card as soon as i dock my laptop. The script is triggered by an acpi-event that's generated when the laptop is docked.
Everything works fine, if the script is run from the command line as the user that started pulseaudio. But if it's started by the acpi-event it can't connect to the pulseaudio server. it's run as:
su --login my_user -c "/usr/local/sbin/toggle-sink.sh"
where my_user is the user who started pulseaudio. i get the error:
No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.
How can i fix this? Somebody has an idea?

PulseAudio uses some environment variables and X11 properties on the root window. You probably need a way to fake these.
Have you tried something like
export DISPLAY=":0"
In the script, so it knows on which display these values are stored?
You can also try running "pavucontrol" or "paman"(AUR) from the script, so it pops a window that is supposed to connect to PulseAudio. You might get a working pavucontrol window (which means pacmd and pactl should work), or a more detailled error message.
If this still doesn't work, you may also try running it in system-wide mode, so everybody has access to it including your script.

Issue passing variable into shell script

Please see terminal session.
- calling pwd, unset, or echo alleviate the issue.
- running the script 'plain' also exihibit an issue
- calling 'cat test.sh' causes an issue
I can repeat the issue on OSX 10.5.8
On Ubuntu, two a's always print out with: A=a B=$A ./test.sh
Terminal session:
bash-3.2$ ls -l test.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 axure staff 16 Mar 29 09:27 test.sh
bash-3.2$ cat test.sh
echo $A

bash-3.2$ A=a B=$A ./test.sh

bash-3.2$ $A
bash-3.2$ $B
bash-3.2$ echo $A
bash-3.2$ echo $B
bash-3.2$ unset
bash-3.2$ A=a B=$A ./test.sh

bash-3.2$ pwd
/Users/axure
bash-3.2$ A=a B=$A ./test.sh
a
a
As I would expect
bash-3.2$ A=a B=$A ./test.sh
a
NOT what I would expect. I tested this using bash 3.2 and got the same results, HOWEVER, when I tested this with bash 4.0, I got what I expected, namely your first results everytime.
So I think there is a bug in bash 3.2. You can get the bash sources, and build your own bash if you wish, or use a different method of setting 1 time envionment variables for use in a subprocess.
bash-3.2$ $A
bash-3.2$ $B
bash-3.2$ echo $A
bash-3.2$ echo $B
As expected, as the way you set A & B were as 1 time environment variables that were only seen by the subprocess created when test.sh was run. A & B were NOT created in the current shell environment, so the current shell environment would not have any values for A & B
bash-3.2$ unset
bash-3.2$ A=a B=$A ./test.sh
a
a
bash-3.2$ A=a B=$A ./test.sh
a
Again, now what I would expect, but as I have already stated, I think there is a bug in bash 3.2 that does not exist in bash 4.0.
Now a bigger question, why are you passing A & B as 1 time envionment variables? Why not just pass them on the command line?
test.sh a a
where test.sh would be
echo $1
echo $2
Or you could use export to create environment variables A & B
export A=a
export B=$A
test.sh
Now A & B would still exist after test.sh, which I assume you do not want to do.
You could try ceating test.sh as a bash function and see if that changes the behavior
test()
echo $A
echo $B
A=a B=$A test
You would have to define test() in your shell initialization scirpt if you needed each time you started a terminal session.
While I have used 1 time environment variables, I more frequently just pass arguments on the command line.

Cannot use environment variable with API.DataWindow.Utilities.mShellAndWait

When running the following command in an FDM event script, an error occurs. If I specify the direct path (i.e. "D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startMAXL.cmd") the error does not occur. But if I open command prompt and enter the path using the environment variable (as in the script below), the MaxL script is executed fine. It only appears to cause an error when run by API.DataWindow.Utilities.mShellAndWait. Does anyone please have any suggestions as to how I can resolve this?
Error:
Error: File not found
At Line: 77
Script:
' Call MaxL script to run data clear calculation.
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strCMD = "%EPM_ORACLE_HOME%\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startMAXL.cmd " & strFilePath & ".mxl"
API.DataWindow.Utilities.mShellAndWait strCMD, 0

Ok,
I thought your requirement was to make use of the environment varible.
with that said though, don't both solutions presented require some level of hard coding?
For Larry's solution, he's using a UNC path which you would have to hard copy and theoretically maintain if your environment changes.
In my solution, I'm telling you to call an arbitrary file. As far as path discussion goes, you can call it with a relative path so you are not hard coding the entire thing. In a migration sense, though, it would be one more file you'd have to migrate and add to your process.
In reality both of these solutions are not that good because they both require you to do something non-standard in a way. Creating the UNC share and making a additional batch file are not going to work out of the box and if you replicated the environment, it's another step.
Here's another option you could try if you want to revisit this in the future......
Script:
' Call MaxL script to run data clear calculation.
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 'You declared this before, but didn't use it? I'll give you a use for this line now. :)
EPMOracleHome=oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(""%EPM_ORACLE_HOME%")
strCMD = EPMOracleHome & "\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startMAXL.cmd " & strFilePath & ".mxl"
API.DataWindow.Utilities.mShellAndWait strCMD, 0

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.

Issues with shell script

Hi,
I am executing on procedure using the shell script. The Shell script would the spool the output of the procedure into Status.txt file and send the condents through the mail. I am getting correct output when i run the job manually. But it is not giving the output when the job is scheduled in Crontab. Please find the below my shell script.
ORACLE_SID=ora
export TNS_ADMIN=/oracle/11.2.0/network/admin

The only PATH a user cron job knows by default is "/usr/bin" and "/bin", hence it won't find any Oracle applications. ORACLE provides a tool named "oraenv" to setup the required Oracle shell environment. oraenv reads /etc/oratab to setup $ORACLE_HOME, etc. It is by default installed in /usr/local/bin. The following example should work:
#!/bin/sh
# Filename: /home/oracle/scripts/sqlplus_sample.sh
# Author: dude

export $PATH
ORACLE_SID='orcl'

Change SSIS variable with reference in C# ?

I access a read write variable with C# in script task. Its Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value = "onFire";
Is there any way I could refer to a SSIS variable without using this big name ? I was thinking of -
Object var = Dts.Variables["strRope"].REFERENCE_TO_VARIABLE;
Now, if I want to reassign strRope, I can simply say var = (String) "Ten thousand thundering typhoons".
Is there any way I can do such a thing ?
I tried this -
public void Main()
object var = Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value;
MessageBox.Show("original value = " + Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value.ToString());//original value = "Hello World"
//Try to change the value of Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value using var ???
var = (object)"Hello cruel world !";
MessageBox.Show("new value = " + Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value.ToString());//new value = ???
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;

You cant. you need to invoke it using Dts.Variables collection itself.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
I think it would be useful to have this feature. So one can create aliases for all the long SSIS variables in the beginning of the code itself. Otherwise, one has to put it all around.
I was trying this -
public void Main()
object var = Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value;
MessageBox.Show("original value = " + Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value.ToString());//original value = "Hello World"
//Try to change the value of Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value using var ???
var = (object)"Hello cruel world !";
MessageBox.Show("new value = " + Dts.Variables["strRope"].Value.ToString());//new value = ???
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;

Changing Environment Variables

I have tried to edit my environmnt variable particularly ORACLE_HOME as I am upgrading to 8.1.6. I have changed the values in my .profile file and I have checked the values in files like the .login, bashrc and others, but I don't seem to be able to change the values. When I do a printenv it always reurns the old value for ORACLE_HOME. I also get this Character set error message with dbassist. I am running 8.1.6 on Linux 6.
Regards

Did you put (I assume you use bash as your shell) an export ORACLE_HOME or export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/home/dir in the scripts somewhere, preferrably at the end. Otherwise the changes will last while the script is actually executing and will be lost as soon you get to the prompt.
Regards.

Help changing permissions using a shell script

Hey,
Here's the situation. We have 18 Macs, they're all cloned from a master image and have 2 local accounts - Administrator and Student.
There are some files on the machines that the student account does not have permission to access, but it's critical that they do. I've written a shell script to change the files so that everyone has permission to read, write and execute them:
#! /bin/bash
clear
sudo chmod ugo+rwx /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components/FM8.component
sudo chmod ugo+rwx /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST/FM8.vst
sudo chmod ugo+rwx /Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST/FM8\ FX.vst
sudo chmod ugo+rwx /Library/Application\ Support/Digidesign/Plug-ins/FM8.dpm
In theory, this means I can just run the script, type the admin password in once and its done (as opposed to typing in the password 4 times and navigating to each file individually.)
However, this doesn't quite work as planned.
If I run the script, navigate to the files using the Finder and 'get info' it declares that "Everyone" can "Read & Write". The student account can see the file properly, but the finder just thinks there's nothing there (Size=Zero KB.) Only when I explicitly add the Student account (Add->Student) and set it to "Read & Write" does it start working.
2 questions really - Why does it do this, and how do I make it work?
It was my understanding that if everyone could read, write and execute there wouldn't be a problem, regardless of which account tries to access the file?
Also, if there is a better/easier/faster way of doing the same thing I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks.

Thanks Tony,
Your reply was helpful, I didn't realise you could tie all the paths together and just use one chmod command.
I actually solved the issues myself this morning (fresh head on after a good nights sleep!)
It turns out the 'files' I'm trying to modify aren't strictly files at all, they're packages. Using just chmod changes permissions for the top of the package only (hence why I could see the files but they said Zero KB.)
adding -R to the chmod modified permissions to everything inside the package as well, which has resolved the issue.
Thanks for the help though!

How to set the PATH Environment variable with multiple homes?

I have several Oracle homes, and now I cannot get reports to work anymore. These are the things I installed, in this order:
- Oracle Database 10g
- Oracle Developer Suite 10g
- Oracle Discoverer 4
- Oracle HTMLDB
Now my PATH environment variable is flooded with paths, but none seem to work when I want to start Reports 10g. I deleted all of the paths from the other homes and still no luck.
This was my original PATH:
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;
C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\db_1\jre\1.4.2\bin;

Pl/sql procedure with shell script

Hi Guys,
I will be updating some of the columns in the database thru SQL UPDATE stament. I want to make this process automatic. I.e instead of running manually this uodate process, i want to write a unix script which run on cron job. In the update stament I have to compare date like e_create_date > to_date (........, 'yymmdd') and date should be 2 days previous then to date and I would ike to create the spool file which I would like to send through mail.the script will run automatically.
I am confused how to write shell script & sql procedure and how to call it inside the shell script. How can this be done.
Help Appreciated.
Thanks
sonu

save the Store procedure as a create_SP.sql in OS
save another testrun.sql
as follows
begin
sp_test('&p_test');
end;
If you are on a Unix or Solaris OS then
open a Shell Script as follows :
and name as test.sh or test.ksh
var='SYSTEM'
