I feel like a Grade A dunce:blink: , Thanks alot, worked perfectly mfillpot.B)

Hey there Guys / Girls,

I am busy doing 100 different things and configurations on one of my systems and as such I have had places where folders and paths were not existing / missing.

So I wrote this little guy to let me know.

 FOLDERS="/u01/stuffs/data

/u01/stuffs/music

/u01/stuffs/information"

for f in $FOLDERS

do

echo "$f"

if [[ -d "${f}" ]] ; then

    echo "WOHOO its there"

    echo ""

fi

 echo "Bummer no path like that."

 echo ""

done

Now I am adding it to a little bash applet where it will load various things. one being this script. BUT heres the issue.

How can i get the FOLDERS variable to read from a file.
so for instance have a folders.txt with all the paths listed in it, then my variable Folders will just be a read of that entire file.

everywhere i can find something they are always read 1 line to 1 variable, and thats where im stuck, I would like to keep it 1 variable. somehow.......

Thanks for any assists.

Hi there guys / Girls,

I really seem to only ever post issues on here... :(

anyways, I hope someone can assist,
I found a script to do a Diskspace monitor and notification using shell scripting.

but when I try run it I keep getting a error, First off Im utilizing Red-Hat 5.3 and I am using the script using the root account.

[code=shell]
#!/bin/sh
# Shell script to monitor or watch the disk space
# It will send an email to $ADMIN, if the (free avilable) percentage
# of space is >= 80%
# set admin email so that you can get email
ADMIN="Oracle.support@saoutsourcing.com"
# set alert level 80% is default
ALERT=80
df -H | grep -vE '^Filesystem|tmpfs|cdrom' | awk '{ print $5 " " $1 }' | while read output;
do
#echo $output
usep=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $1}' | cut -d'%' -f1 )
partition=$(echo $output | awk '{ print $2 }' )
if [ $usep -ge $ALERT ]; then
echo "System Running low on Disk space \"$partition ($usep%)\" on $(hostname) as on $(date)" |
mail -s "Alert: Almost out of disk space $usep" $ADMIN
fi
done
[/code]

the Error I get is
[code=linux]
bash: ./DiskSpace_Alert.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[/code]

but when looking the /bin/sh does exist

Hi mfillpot thanks that gave me the info I needed, sorry for the late responce to this.

Hey Guys/Girls sorry for the LONG as responce time on this one.
Been busy studying got to write exams soon.

OK I figure that one error now having issues

[root@mz-backup /]# /bin/mount -tsmtbfs -o username=sao,password=Passw0rd //172.16.213.12/Backup_Windows/ /mz-pine_temp/

mount: fs type smtbfs not supported by kernel

How the monkeys you find the right tag line for the -t option?

Thanks, sorry Im being a ass I know.

Aloha all,

one of these days I’m going to get the handle on Linux....

I’m having a issue, I am busy creating a backup process for a 2 way backup to happen.
Currently a windows machine is backing up a location from a linux server.

Now I want to have the Linux system back it up for a overlay period, so busy creating cronjobs etc etc..
Now issue is when I want to mount the location.
I took the mount command I’m using out of the .sh I created with the logins and cp commands etc, and tested it but still no dice.

What I’m getting is this.

[code=Linux][root@mz-backup root]# /bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=<userName>,password=<Password> //mz-server1/Backup_Windows/backup /mzpine/
Could not resolve mount point /mzpine/
[root@mz-backup root]#[/code]

Also tried replacing the servername with its IP same issue.
I can ping the IP from this machine no issues.

Any suggestions / Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks jabirali,

Was just going to log on to ask about that system function :)

kept trying "pwd/c:osaso_security_rules.txt" and was giving strange errors :P

forgot the $

Thanks though,
-For everyones interest this works 100% alows moving and renaming without giving you errors.

Hi Guys / Girls,

Im in serious need of assistance here, and Im hoping there is a solution thats relatively easy from the command terminal not gui interface....

I had a ^#$(^(#$^%&($ user generate a SQL script with a windows path and filename, and lovely SQL just converted it to one HUGE filename in the SQL execution directory this case /home/root

Now the problem exactly, the output filename is now in the /home/root diretory as c:bobsoutput.txt and I can not do a thing with it. I need to get it off server or something but using a scp or cp or even mv t try rename keeps giving me this error

{root@proddb}# scp c:osaso_security_rules.txt gareth.thompson@prodtrans:/home/gareth.thompson/

ssh: c: Name or service not known

{root@proddb}#

Any suggestions or assist would be greatly appreciated thanks,:S

Thanks mfillpot,

Ill look at it and get back to you if need be, atleast now have a better Idea what I can do :)

Thanks again.

ah.......:blink: .........um....:S

OK I know what your refering to as far as shell scripting goes. BUT:blink:

I have Zero idea how to accomplish this.:blush: Im still exceptionally new to Linux, know how to do the basics, and have never worked with shell scripting, so not too sure how it works, how to pull info etc...

Can you assist with a example please????

just on this basically.
I would need the data displayed returned.

ssh root@proddb1
bob123 ~password
df -hl ~ Print out needed
su - oracle
sqlplus /"as sysdba"
select count(*) from dba_objects where status='INVALID'; ~SQL Command that will need to return value

And this would have tp repeat for proddb1-4

Sorry for being a pain in the behind. Hope you can assist
