Parameters
$$ PID of the process $? exit status $0 call of the current script $1 1st parameter $2 2nd parameter $n etc... $* all parameters $# parameter count
|| and && - status based commands
Syntax:
normal-command && if-succeeded || if-error
Example:
rm /bla && echo ok || echo not ok;echo Done
Will normally output:
rm: cannot remove `/bla': No such file or directory not ok Done
Attention:
rm /bla && echo ok ; echo really ok || echo not ok ; echo shit
Will output
rm: cannot remove `/bla': No such file or directory really ok shit
So || and && will only work for the last command and will only work for the next command.
While on console
while true; do echo -n `date`;ls -l <file>; sleep 1; done;
parameter check
if [ "$1" = "--help" ] || [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo my script v 0.1, it's me !
echo This script will do some cool stuff but I won't tell you what.
echo Syntax: $0 \<file\> \<whatever\>
exit 1
fi
do something depending on output/no output of a command
#!/bin/bash
for file in ~/work/Sx*
do
cd $file
out=$(cvsupdate)
if [ "$out" != "" ]; then
pwd
echo "$out"
fi
done
Use the double quote for the echo or you will lose all line breaks.
get the absolute directory of the executing script
#!/bin/bash DIR=$(cd `dirname $0` && pwd) echo $DIR
