SQLPlus output within bash script

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure if this should go here or in the SQL forum or the Linux forum, but here goes:
Using Oracle10g on Linux, I'm using a bash script to run an sql script, but when I try to echo the results, it shows the output in a single line.
Here's the script
USERLIST=`sqlplus -s / AS SYSDBA <<EOF
   set head off
   set verify off
   set feedback off
   SELECT username from dba_users;
   exit;
EOF
`
echo $USERLIST;And here's the output:
oracle@apps scripts]$ ./userl.sh
PAYROLL HR2 CORE DEMO TIMEKEEPING SYS EXPENSE Is there anyway so that the output can be shown with line breaks, where all the output is not on one line? I understand I can spool to a file using the spool command, however I'd like to try and get it working this way first.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Bash script for checking link status

So I'm doing some SEO work I've been tasked with checking a couple hundred thousand back links for quality. I found myself spending a lot of time navigating to sites that no longer existed. I figured I would make a bash script that checks if the links are active first. The problem is my script is slower than evolution. I'm no bash guru or anything so I figured maybe I would see if there are some optimizations you folks can think of. Here is what I am working with:
#!/bin/bash
while read line
do
#pull page source and grep for domain
curl -s "$line" | grep "example.com"
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
then
echo \"$line\",\"link active\" >> csv.csv else
echo \"$line\",\"REMOVED\" >> csv.csv
fi
done < <(cat links.txt)
Can you guys think of another way of doing this that might be quicker? I realize the bottleneck is curl (as well as the speed of the remote server/dns servers) and that there isn't really a way around that. Is there another tool or technique I could use within my script to speed up this process?
I will still have to go through the active links one by one and analyze by hand but I don't think there is a good way of doing this programmatically that wouldn't consume more time than doing it by hand (if it's even possible).
Thanks

I know it's been awhile but I've found myself in need of this yet again. I've modified Xyne's script a little to work a little more consistently with my data. The problem I'm running into now is that urllib doesn't accept IRIs. No surprise there I suppose as it's urllib and not irilib. Does anyone know of any libraries that will convert an IRI to a URI? Here is the code I am working with:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from threading import Thread
from queue import Queue
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from urllib.error import URLError
import csv
import sys
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Check list of URLs for existence of link in html')
parser.add_argument('-d','--domain', help='The domain you would like to search for a link to', required=True)

parser.add_argument('-o','--output', help='Named of csv to output results to', required=True)
parser.add_argument('-v','--verbose', help='Display URLs and statuses in the terminal', required=False, action='store_true')
ARGS = vars(parser.parse_args())
INFILE = ARGS['input']
OUTFILE = ARGS['output']
DOMAIN = ARGS['domain']
REMOVED = 'REMOVED'
EXISTS = 'EXISTS'
NUMBER_OF_WORKERS = 50
#Workers
def worker(input_queue, output_queue):
while True:
url = input_queue.get()
if url is None:
input_queue.task_done()
input_queue.put(None)
break
request = Request(url)
try:
response = urlopen(request)
html = str(response.read())
if DOMAIN in html:
status = EXISTS
else:
status = REMOVED
except URLError:
status = REMOVED
output_queue.put((url, status))
input_queue.task_done()
#Queues
input_queue = Queue()
output_queue = Queue()
#Create threads
for i in range(NUMBER_OF_WORKERS):
t = Thread(target=worker, args=(input_queue, output_queue))
t.daemon = True
t.start()
#Populate input queue
number_of_urls = 0
with open(INFILE, 'r') as f:
for line in f:
input_queue.put(line.strip())
number_of_urls += 1
input_queue.put(None)
#Write URL and Status to csv file
with open(OUTFILE, 'a') as f:
c = csv.writer(f, delimiter=',', quotechar='"')
for i in range(number_of_urls):
url, status = output_queue.get()
if ARGS['verbose']:
print('{}\n {}'.format(url, status))
c.writerow((url, status))
output_queue.task_done()
input_queue.get()
input_queue.task_done()
input_queue.join()
output_queue.join()
The problem seems to be when I use urlopen
response = urlopen(request)
with a URL like http://www.rafo.co.il/√ó‚Äò√ó¬®-√ó¬§√ó¬ê√ó≈ì√ó‚Ñ¢-p1
urlopen fails with an error like this:

Bash script to insert item in a alphabetical list

I would like to use a bash script to insert a new "source" file into a list of sources which occurs within another file.
The file in question is quite long and contains many other things. However the list of sources abides by the format below.
[snip]
SOURCES = \
_add_datasource_.m \
_add_line_series_.m \
ylabel.m \
ylim.m \
zlabel.m \
zlim.m
[snip]
How might I insert a new source file in alphabetical order. I'm assuming there is a fairly simple script to do such.
TiA

#!/usr/bin/env bash
if [[ $# != 1 ]]; then
echo 1>&2 "Usage: ${0##*/} fileto_insert_inSOURCE"
exit 1
fi
MAKEFILE=Makefile.in
TMP=/tmp/tmp.$$
awk -v new="$1" '
/^SOURCES =/ { in_src = 1 }
in_src && ! done && $1 > new {
# New file goes here
printf(" %s \
", new)
in_src = 0
done = 1
in_src && ! done && ! /\$/ {
# New file must go after the last entry.
# Put on old last entry.
printf("%s \
", $0)
# replace current $0 with the new file.
$0 = sprintf(" %s

done = 1

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

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

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.

Multiarchive RAR bash script (SOLVED)

Dear Fellow Archies!
I use the command
rar a -w<working_folder> -m5 -v<max_volume_size> <archive_name> <target_file_or_folder>
whenever I need to make a multiarchive rar file, because I have not yet found a GUI archive manager that does this.
So, I've decided to write a simple bash script to make things easier.
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
echo Please, enter the full path to the target file or folder [without the target itself]!
read PATH
echo Please, enter the target filename [with extension] or folder name!
read TARGET
echo Please, enter the desired archive name [without extension]!
read DESTINATION
echo Please, enter the desired volume size in KB!
read SIZE
rar a -w$PATH -m5 -v$SIZE $DESTINATION $TARGET
Executing the last line of the code in terminal works without any hassle. When I run this entire script however, it doesn't.
What needs to be changed for the script to work?
RAR man page is HERE - CLICK, in case someone needs to take a look at something.
Thank you and thank you,

Done! Working!
Geniuz: Logout-login did it. How simple.
Juster: I added "echo $PATH" to the script and ran it with "bash -x". And the output was the same as after the logout-login. Here it is, in case you are curious.
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin/core_perl:/opt/qt/bin
Thank you all for your help guys :bow:.
OFFTOPIC:
All who intend to use Xfce launchers to run bash scripts: There are two options in the settings for each launcher: "Command" and "Working Directory". And when I had "Working Directory" filled with "/home/username/", the script didn't work. It worked perfectly after I blanked out the "Working Directory" option. Just so you know, in case someone doesn't .
This has never happened to be before, but still, I guess it is better to do it with blank "Working Directory" and entering the entire path into the script in the "Command" field. It might be that Xfce launchers always stick to the "Working Directory", even though a script might tell them otherwise.

Bash script: Loop command,

Hi all,
I need a bit of help looping a command on a bash script,
please see below the command I need to loop:
ffmpeg -s 2720x1024 -r 25 -f x11grab -i :0.0 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 128k -vcodec mpeg4 -sameq -y -t 60 /media/z/.cam/screen/screen_`date +%F_%T`.avi
So basically I record my screen for a period of 1 minutes and the process once done need to restart.
I have search on how to loop the command but I must admit it seem rather complicated, so for the time being I added && at the end and paste the command a lot...
Any help would be appreciated,
Many thanks,
Regards

I recommend using the FFmpeg commands shown here:
How to do Proper Screencasts on Linux Using FFmpeg
It's a well-written guide and the author, verb3k, keeps it up to date which is essential when working with FFmpeg. Compared to your command the output will probably look better. The command from the guide will also probably be closer to your requested frame rate because the lossless output should be easier for the CPU to deal with and the command utilizes the -threads option. Lastly, the -sameq option should not be used. The documentation is misleading and should read something like, "use same quantizer as source" instead of "use same video quality as source". Use of the same quantizer does not mean same quality, and this option especially should not be used when the source and output formats do not share the same quantizer scale.

Bash script run via cron not executing MYSQL command

I have a bash script which is run from a cron,
It is executing as I have it write to a log file which it does correctly.
I am wanting the bash script to restore a mysqldump file.
When I run the bash script manually the dump file gets loaded fine. But when I run it through the cron the mysql command appears to be ignored.
The mysqldump file is 54MB and I have checked to make sure that MYSQL is included in the global users path in /etc/profile
Does anyone know why this maybe??
Here is the bash file
#!/bin/bash
date >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
echo "Started loadbackup" >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
cd /home/user
dbuser=root
dbpass=password
dbname=databasename
filename=backup
mysql -hlocalhost -u"$dbuser" -p"$dbpass" "$dbname" < " >> /home/user/crons/crons.log
My crontab looks like
02 17 * * * /home/user/crons/loadbackup.sh
Many thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,
Have you tried redirecting the script output in the cron to see if an error is being reported?
I.e.
02 17 * * * /home/user/crons/loadbackup.sh > /tmp/loadbackup.log 2>&1

Bash: script not working even after using shopt

below is script i am trying. I am trying to get the latest modified file in a folder:
#!/bin/bash
shopt -s extglob
name=$(echo *(om[1]))
echo $name
i am expecting filename instead *(om[1]) is echoed. As such the script does not give any error due to using shopt.
i try the command on commandline it gives the filename as output.
% cd other
% echo *(om[1])
mumbai123.txt
why echo *(om[1]) is working on commandline but not in bash script.

Small bash script as userspace daemon?

Hi!
I have a small bash script that I want to execute every 5 minutes. It's not vital, I'll notice if it stops working soon enough, so I'd like to get it out of my sight (both how it's started and when it's running - especially I don't want cron spamming the journal all the time. If it's convenient, I might try to pipe some assorted output to logger somehow, but that's not important). Now I'm trying to figure out how something like that is supposed to be done...:
I have questions like...:
- Should I modify the script so it has an infinite wait-5minutes-loop itself? And how do I make it break out of the loop if the service-handle-thingy tells it to / does it have to react to environment variables from something?
- Should I create a service file for systemd or what is supposed to handle such "pseudo userspace daemons"? While I found information on how to create the service files, I couldn't really figure out how the script behind it should look...
- Also I'm not sure if "daemons" should be executed as root and use sudo or something to do userspace stuff... or if the whole thing should be started as user.
I found only obsolete looking information on all of those things and examples that are specific to other distributions (saw lot of "start-stop-daemon" - I guess that's debian or something, not archlinux...?). So: Could someone please bump me into the general direction of the stuff I need to use / read?
Thanks!

Thanks!
Phew, that was a lot of stuff... browsed many examples too... and in the end it looks like the crontab was the "right" place to put that thing after all, everything else just seems like a "dirty" or overkill solution in comparison...
The only thing that still irritates me is cron insisting to write every single freaking *success* into the logs (/journal) instead of just warnings / errors. I really don't need that thing telling me: "Hi, I'm still OK! " every other minute -.- but there does not seem to be an option (other than installing a syslog-daemon capable of "blacklisting" the entries as a workaround) to shut it up... which was the reason why I first thought that scripts which are to be executes so often don't belong into the crontab.
Hmm... not sure what to do yet. Is there anything else I should know / read before I make up my mind and stop looking for a better solution to this?
Which cron do you use? I have dcron installed and it has a log level setting - see man crond

Ftp Download in bash script

Hi! I'm runnig a bash script in solaris i want within the script to dowload file using ftp
How can i do it?
Tanks a lot

For my driver download/reboot script I use a small program available in the ncftp package off of SunFreeware called ncftpget. It's takes a URL containing username, password, hostname, and path as the commandline argument and gets the file.

Solaris sends SIGKILL to bash script?

I have this bash script that just loops forever (until stopped), it outputs data to files and runs various other commands to display information on the terminal. The problem I'm having is that solaris seems to send SIGKILL to this script after it's been running for a period of time. Typically a few hours. As far as I can tell there's doesn't appear to be anything obviously wrong with the script. Why would solaris send a SIGKILL?? I know it's a sigkill from the exit code 137.
Anyone have any suggestions?? I'm running Solaris 8.
Thanks

No idea, it doesn't really make sense.
You could check if there is anything in crontab or similar which kills processes of idle users, but thats a bit of a long-shoot.
Make your script log to a file frequently, so you can figure out when to determine if its always around the same time, and in which part of the script.
If Solaris would send it a kill signal it wouldn't be SIGKILL.

Differences in writting bash-script in Solaris and in RHEL?

I wrote a script 'checkinstall' as follow and it works fine by RHEL:
[code]
#!/bin/sh
HOSTNAME=hostname
echo $HOSTNAME
if [ $HOSTNAME == "S001AP99-TEST" ]; then
    echo This is the wrong machine.\
    echo "\nAbouting installation.\n\n"
    exit 1
fi
exit 0
[/code]
But when I run this by Solaris I got:
# ./checkinstall
hostname
./checkinstall: test: unknown operator ==
I changed the line HOSTNAME=hostname to HOSTNAME=`hostname` and it outputs the correct hostname.
But I still get error:
# ./checkinstall
S001AP99-TEST
./checkinstall: test: unknown operator ==

If you want to create bash scripts, then the first step is to set the right shell in the first line => #!/bin/bash
Then, after this important step, you can try if this works. Oh surprise, it's working.
