[SOLVED] Stop "foreign" error output from shell script

Hello,
I have just migrated from TrueCrypt to VeraCrypt (without issues by the way), but I have a problem with a script that I wrote.
This script is basically a shortcut for mounting a VeraCrypt volume and opening it with Dolphin; it keeps a "question" open at the command line, which, when answered with 'y', will unmount the volume.
Here is the important part of the script:
/usr/bin/veracrypt "$VERACRYPT" "$MOUNTDIR"
/usr/bin/dolphin "$MOUNTDIR"
echo "Unmount VeraCrypt volume now [y/n]?"
read ANSWER
if [ "$ANSWER" = "y" ]
then
/usr/bin/veracrypt -d "$VERACRYPT"
fi
exit 0
As you can see, it's utterly simple. My problem now is, that some system message shows up when running the command, and it somehow hides my "question":
"/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/dm_2d0" has new interfaces: ("org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block", "org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem")
"/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/dm_2d0" has new interfaces: ("org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Block", "org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem")
I thought it was veracrypt or Dolphin related, and I tried adding "2> /dev/null" at the end of those commands, but it appears that this message comes from somewhere else.
Is there a way to suppress these "foreign" messages? Why does my "question" not show up anymore at all?
Thanks,
DrTebi

That worked, thanks!
I have to assume that veracrypt caused the "new interfaces" message then?
I didn't try the redirecting to stdout at first because I thought if I do that, I would not get my "question" -- but that was of course wrong, since I am not redirecting the "read" command.
Thanks for the help.

Problem while calling concsub from shell script

Hi All,
I am facing problem when I am trying to run CONCSUB utility from shell script.The same works well when I try it from command line.The only prob I am facing from shell script is assigning values to temporary variables.
This is how my script looks
#!/bin/bash
export PARM5="$5"
export PARM6="$6"
export PARM7="$7"
echo "INTPARM5=\"$PARM5\""
echo "INTPARM6=\"$PARM6\""
echo "INTPARM7=\"$PARM7\""
echo $FND_TOP/bin/CONCSUB $1 ONT 'Order Management Super User, Vision Operations (USA)' $3 WAIT=Y CONCURRENT ONT $PROGRAM "$INTPARM5" "$INTPARM6" "$INTPARM7"When I try to run the above shell based concurrent program it doesn't pass the parameters as expected and it errors out saying "Wrong number of arguments to call the procedure"
I tried my luck from some of the previous posts ({thread:id=2360776} ),but to vain
If anyone has any ideas,please suggest!!
Thanks in advance!!

Urgent Problem in Executing perl script from shell script

Hello,
I've a shell script on one server (source) and a perl script on another (target).
My perl script will check whether the directoryname, filename provided by shell script exists on the target server or not.
My shell script is as follows:
#! bin/bash
cmd=`ssh user@target "perl /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl"`
echo $cmd
And my perl script uses a package CU_Functions.pm, which is in the same directory as the perl script on the target server.
But when I invoke the perl script from shell script, I get the following error:
Source:user> (db:ias10g12_mid_db) /home/user/perl
$ sh /home/user/arcs/arcs_conn.sh
user@target's password:
Can't locate CU_Functions.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1/i686-linux /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl/5.6.1 /local/perl-5.6.1/lib/site_perl .) at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/user/test_dir/validate_file.pl line 13.
Please let me know if I need to do any configurations prior to call the perl script.

As for the Perl INC, I cannot recall the environment variable that sets that but the following example should work:
ssh user@host "export ENV_VAR=/path/to/include/files:$ENV_VAR ; /full/path/to/script"

RMAN errors sent to shell script calling RMAN sequence?

Hello,
I have a Korn shell script run on Solaris as the root user that launches RMAN sequences similar to this one:
#!/bin/ksh
su - oracle -c "export ORACLE_SID=ORCL; rman target / << !
<rman sequence>
I am wondering if there is a way to catch the RMAN errors in the shell script?
If I call SQLplus instead of RMAN, I can use "whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode" and I will retrieve the error code in the shell script from $? - can I do such a thing with RMAN?
Thank you,
Adrian

You could capture the return code *$?* from your RMAN script and if it returns anything other than 0, then you could grep the RMAN log for errors and/or query
V$RMAN_OUTPUT after the RMAN script executes.

Passing parameters from shell script to OWB process flow

Hi all,
I am running OWB process flow (using the template script provided by oracle) and i want to pass two date parameters as shown below:
sqlplus -s $SQL_USER/$SQL_PWD@$ORACLE_SID @$HOME_DIR/src/vmc_oem_exec_script.sql OWB_OWNER VMC_POST_DW_PF_LOC_SIT PROCESS VMC_NM1_PORT_MAIN "," "P_DATE_FROM=$DATE_FROM,P_DATE_TO=$DATE_TO"
How do i catch those values in process flow and pass those to mappings in Process flow?
Do i need to create PF variables with same names or any name will do?
Thanks in advance

This document is explaining how to pass data between activities in process flow.
I am passing parameters from a shell script.
Any ideas,how to pass parameters from shell script and then initialize the process flow variables based on those values and then pass them further to mappings.
Thanks

Exports (from shell script) without password given explicitly in script

Hi All,
I have Oracle 10g2 on SLES 10 64-bit. I would like to do export the database using data pump from shell scripts. Is there any method to hide the password in the script file.
Currently in doing by command:
expdp system/password@database ....
So any user who see the script will know the passowrd.
Regards
Groxy

Hi,
Have you considered the "Secure External Password Store" feature that was added in 10gR2? It uses the Oracle Wallet to store a database_alias with username/password credentials in encrypted format. Then you can enter your expdp command like this:
expdp /@database_alias ...
Take a look at the 10gR2 Security Guide. There's a chapter there on how to set this up.

Can you put your coding between code statements, like shown in the FAQ. It will be easier to read.
Looking at your script, my first guess is that crontab will not find your sqlplus since your script does not have $HOME/bin in the $PATH. From what I understand, running .profile in your script will not work either because variables are exported to sub-shells, not to the shell above. You can call your script with a dot like . ./script which means that the script will run like it was typed at the command prompt. But it will be less confusing to define appropriate variables in the script. eg.
ORACLE_SID=my_instance_name
ORACLE_HOME=/my_path_to_oracle_home_directory
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
I remember some slightly different way of coding to handle the sqlplus return codes.
For instance:
sqlplus -s /nolog > /dev/null <<-EOF
connect system/manager
@ssm.sql
whenever oserror exit failure
whenever sqlerror exit failure
EOF
sql_err=$?
if [ $sql_err -ne 0 ]; then
echo "FAILURE"
else
echo "SUCCESS"
fiThe - in -EOF supresses tab's
Using connect will prevent ps from showing your login credentials
In some versions of bash the ending EOF needs to be at the beginning of the line to work.

Btw, if you "source" a script running it like . .script, than an exit in that script will log you out.

Capturing output of shell script in Automator

I have an Automator work flow that includes the execution of a shell script. The script in turn executes a Perl script and captures its output on a file. This may sound a bit convoluted, but the Automator part was intended to automate disparate scripts that were already made, so I just "glued" them together.
The shell script is like this:
cd "/Users/username/Documents/Development/"
./script.pl "$1" 2>&1 >out.log
The problem is that, after execution, "out.log" contains the output from STDOUT, but not STDERR. I know because if I run "script.pl" from the Terminal, I get not only the normal output, but a couple of errors or warnings spit out by the script.
I was under the impression that "2>&1>out.log" would redirect STDERR to the filehandle used by STDOUT, and then redirect STDOUT to the file, with the ultimate result of redirecting both filehandles to the output file.
Is there something I'm missing? How can I capture the STDERR from the script as well? Keep in mind that the shell script is executed from an Automator work flow.
Thanks!
-dZ.

./script.pl "$1" >out.log 2>&1
It is important to redirect in the correct left-to-right order.
First move STDOUT (file descriptor 1) to the file, THEN move STDERR (file descriptor 2) to where STDOUT is NOW pointing.
You moved STDERR first, then moved STDOUT, leaving STDERR behind.

Passing variables from shell script to separate sqlplus script

Hi, I am having issues passing variables to a separate sqlplus script invoked by the shell script, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
DB_NAME=TEST
PWD1=PA55W0rd
echo exit | sqlplus / as sysdba @${DB_NAME}.sql ${DB_NAME} $PWD1 >> ${DB_NAME}.sql
exit 0
The script picks up the $DB_NAME variable fine, and therefore invokes the required sql script.
However, when I pass the variable $PWD1 to the sql script I get an error.
The script creates a database link:
create or replace procedure new.link
is
begin
execute immediate 'create database link TEST
connect to TESTSCH identified by '$PWD1'
using ''TEST''';
end;
exec new.link;
output is:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06512: at "NEW.LINK", line 4
ORA-06512: at line 1
any help appreciated!

Specifies the name of a script and arguments to run. The script can be called from the local file system or from a web server.
SQL*Plus passes the arguments to the script as if executing the file using the SQL*Plus START command. If no file suffix (file extension) is specified, the suffix defined by the SET SUFFIX command is used. The default suffix is .sql.
See the START command for more information.

Data items you wish to pass to parameters in the script. If you enter one or more arguments, SQL*Plus substitutes the values into the parameters (&1, &2, and so forth) in the script. The first argument replaces each occurrence of &1, the second replaces each occurrence of &2, and so on.

... clearly explaining that SQL*Plus substitutes the substitution variables &1, &2 etc. in the script with the passed in arguments.
Your script was including a Unix style substitution, not an SQL*Plus script substitution, so that's seems to be the most likely cause of your problem.
And still you haven't come back to say whether it's worked for you or not... leaving others guessing as to whether you still need help.

Displaying an alert (Applescript or otherwise) from shell script?

I have a point in a shell script where I'd like to put up an alert dialogue on a particular error condition. The script runs in the background and doesn't have a terminal window. I tried writing a little applescript that uses the applescript alert command and call it using osascript from my shell script, but it doesn't work. If I enter "osascript ~/myscript.scpt" in a terminal window, I get the error message "/Users/Ted/myscript.scpt: execution error:No user interaction allowed. (-1713)" (If I run myscript.scpt from the script editor it does what I want it to do.) Any ideas? I suppose I could have my shell script create a file in some folder and have my applescript be triggered as a folder action, but that seems pretty roundabout!

Thanks -- I apologize for not doing a more thorough search! Yes, that comes very close to addressing my need, but I have run into one difficulty. If I run my shell script from the terminal (pasting it in) everything works fine. If I run it as a packaged app (with Platypus) everything works like it's supposed to, except that the alert applescript (it's just a one line script) briefly flashes the alert dialogue when it's supposed to and then dies, rather than waiting 10 seconds or until I click OK. I'll have to experiment and see if I can tell what's going on.
