What is a shell?
Any Program But there are a few popular shells
Bourne Shells
/bin/sh /bin/bash Bourne-Again Shell
Steve Bourne
Other Common Shells
C Shell (/bin/csh) Turbo C Shell (/bin/tcsh) Korn Shell (/bin/ksh)
An aside: What do I mean by /bin ?
C Shell (/bin/csh) Turbo C Shell (/bin/tcsh) Korn Shell (/bin/ksh)
An aside: What do I mean by /bin ?
/bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/sbin /tmp /dev /home/borwicjh
What is a Shell Script?
A Text File With Instructions Executable
What is a Shell Script?
% cat > hello.sh <<MY_PROGRAM #!/bin/sh echo Hello, world MY_PROGRAM % chmod +x hello.sh % ./hello.sh Hello, world
What is a Shell Script? A Text File
% cat > hello.sh <<MY_PROGRAM #!/bin/sh echo Hello, world MY_PROGRAM % chmod +x hello.sh % ./hello.sh Hello, world
An aside: Redirection
cat > /tmp/myfile cat >> /tmp/myfile cat 2> /tmp/myerr cat < /tmp/myinput cat <<INPUT Some input INPUT cat > /tmp/x 2>&1
INPUT 0 env OUTPUT 1 ERROR 2
What is a Shell Script? How To Run
% cat > hello.sh <<MY_PROGRAM #!/bin/sh echo Hello, world MY_PROGRAM % chmod +x hello.sh % ./hello.sh Hello, world
What is a Shell Script? What To Do
% cat > hello.sh <<MY_PROGRAM #!/bin/sh echo Hello, world MY_PROGRAM % chmod +x hello.sh % ./hello.sh Hello, world
What is a Shell Script? Executable
% cat > hello.sh <<MY_PROGRAM #!/bin/sh echo Hello, world MY_PROGRAM % chmod +x hello.sh % ./hello.sh Hello, world
What is a Shell Script? Running it
% cat > hello.sh <<MY_PROGRAM #!/bin/sh echo Hello, world MY_PROGRAM % chmod +x hello.sh % ./hello.sh Hello, world
Finding the program: PATH
% ./hello.sh echo vs. /usr/bin/echo % echo $PATH /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin: /home/borwicjh/bin % which echo /usr/bin/echo
Variables and the Environment
% hello.sh bash: hello.sh: Command not found % PATH=$PATH:. % hello.sh Hello, world
An aside: Quoting
% echo $USER $USER % echo $USER borwicjh % echo \ % echo deacnet\\sct deacnet\sct % echo \ \
Variables and the Environment
% env [variables passed to sub-programs] % NEW_VAR=Yes % echo $NEW_VAR Yes % env [PATH but not NEW_VAR] % export NEW_VAR % env [PATH and NEW_VAR]

Continuing Lines: \
% echo This \ Is \ A \ Very \ Long \ Command Line This Is A Very Long Command Line %
Exit Status
$? 0 is True % ls /does/not/exist % echo $? 1 % echo $? 0
Exit Status: exit
% cat > test.sh <<_TEST_ exit 3 _TEST_ % chmod +x test.sh % ./test.sh % echo $? 3
Logic: test
% % 0 % % 1 test 1 -lt 10 echo $?
test 1 == 10 echo $?
Logic: test
test [ ]
[ 1 lt 10 ]
[[ ]]
[[ this string =~ this ]]
(( ))
(( 1 < 10 ))
Logic: test
[ [ [ [ -f /etc/passwd ] ! f /etc/passwd ] -f /etc/passwd a f /etc/shadow ] -f /etc/passwd o f /etc/shadow ]
An aside: $(( )) for Math
% echo $(( 1 + 2 )) 3 % echo $(( 2 * 3 )) 6 % echo $(( 1 / 3 )) 0
Logic: if
if something then : # elif a contraction of else if: elif something-else then : else then : fi
Logic: if
if [ $USER eq borwicjh ] then : # elif a contraction of else if: elif ls /etc/oratab then : else then : fi
Logic: if
# see if a file exists if [ -e /etc/passwd ] then echo /etc/passwd exists else echo /etc/passwd not found! fi
Logic: for
for i in 1 2 3 do echo $i done
Logic: for
for i in /* do echo Listing $i: ls -l $i read done
Logic: for
for i in /* do echo Listing $i: ls -l $i read done
Logic: for
for i in /* do echo Listing $i: ls -l $i read done
Logic: C-style for
for (( expr1 expr2 expr3 do list done ; ; ))
Logic: C-style for
LIMIT=10 for (( a=1 ; a<=LIMIT ; a++ )) do echo n $a done
Logic: while
while something do :
done
Logic: while
a=0; LIMIT=10 while [ "$a" -lt "$LIMIT" ] do echo -n "$a a=$(( a + 1 )) done
Counters
COUNTER=0 while [ -e $FILE.COUNTER ] do COUNTER=$(( COUNTER + 1)) done Note: race condition
Reusing Code: Sourcing
% cat > /path/to/my/passwords <<_PW_ FTP_USER=sct _PW_ % echo $FTP_USER % . /path/to/my/passwords % echo $FTP_USER sct %
Variable Manipulation
% FILEPATH=/path/to/my/output.lis % echo $FILEPATH /path/to/my/output.lis % echo ${FILEPATH%.lis} /path/to/my/output % echo ${FILEPATH#*/} path/to/my/output.lis % echo ${FILEPATH##*/} output.lis
It takes a long time to become a bash guru
Running Programs
Reasons for Running Programs
Check Return Code
$?
Get Job Output
OUTPUT=`echo Hello` OUTPUT=$(echo Hello)
Send Output Somewhere
Redirection: <, > Pipes
Pipes
Lots of Little Tools echo Hello | \ wc -c
INPUT 0 echo OUTPUT 1 ERROR 2
A Pipe!
INPUT 0 wc OUTPUT 1 ERROR 2
Email Notification
% echo Message | \ mail s Heres your message \ [email protected]
Dates
% DATESTRING=`date +%Y%m%d` % echo $DATESTRING 20060125 % man date
FTP the Hard Way
ftp n u server.wfu.edu <<_FTP_ user username password put FILE _FTP_
FTP with wget
wget \ ftp://user:
[email protected]/file wget r \ ftp://user:
[email protected]/dir/
FTP with curl
curl T upload-file \ -u username:password \ ftp://server.wfu.edu/dir/file
Searching: grep
% % % % % grep grep grep grep grep rayra /etc/passwd r rayra /etc r RAYRA /etc ri RAYRA /etc rli rayra /etc
Searching: find
% find /home/borwicjh \ -name *.lis
[all files matching *.lis]
% find /home/borwicjh \ -mtime -1 name *.lis
[*.lis, if modified within 24h]
% man find
Searching: locate
% locate .lis
[files with .lis in path]
% locate log
[also finds /var/log/messages]
