Say for instance, I would like to reduce the delay/waiting time for the boot-time menu from 10 seconds to 5 seconds, how would I go about doing it?
From what I've been able to find, entering "autoboot 5" into the right file would take care of that for me, but the man pages are unclear as to... (1 Reply)

The date construct in UNIX can be used to calculate when something is finished: date -v+1H displays the time 1 hour from now.
I want to use the same construct in a script, but it is leading to error messages:
echo "Finished at: " `date -v+$durationH`
where $duration is calculated based on input... (3 Replies)

I have a BASH script that runs a continuous loop, reading a line from a file, and then spawning a background process to use it. I've placed "date" commands inside it to see where it's slowing down, and everything inside -- including reading the line from the file -- is fast, but the loop bogs... (34 Replies)

escape
escape(1) Mail Avenger 0.8.3 escape(1)NAME
escape - escape shell special characters in a string
SYNOPSIS
escape string
DESCRIPTION
escape prepends a "" character to all shell special characters in string, making it safe to compose a shell command with the result.
EXAMPLES
The following is a contrived example showing how one can unintentionally end up executing the contents of a string:
$ var='; echo gotcha!'
$ eval echo hi $var
hi
gotcha!
$
Using escape, one can avoid executing the contents of $var:
$ eval echo hi `escape "$var"`
hi ; echo gotcha!
$
A less contrived example is passing arguments to Mail Avenger bodytest commands containing possibly unsafe environment variables. For
example, you might write a hypothetical reject_bcc script to reject mail not explicitly addressed to the recipient:
#!/bin/sh
formail -x to -x cc -x resent-to -x resent-cc
| fgrep "$1" > /dev/null
&& exit 0
echo "<$1>.. address does not accept blind carbon copies"
exit 100
To invoke this script, passing it the recipient address as an argument, you would need to put the following in your Mail Avenger rcpt
script:
bodytest reject_bcc `escape "$RECIPIENT"`

BUGS
escape is designed for the Bourne shell, which is what Mail Avenger scripts use. escape might or might not work with other shells.
