I am writing a bash script on Solaris, that should take n arguments, either appended to the script or taken as output from the last command (similar to grep). What I don't want is that the script waits for user input. In other words:
Possibility 1:
Code:
script.sh arg1 arg2 arg3 ...
Possibility 2:
Code:
ls | script.sh
If the script is executed without any arguments, a usage message is meant to appear. I know how to handle either one of the two possibilities:
Possibility 1:
Code:
while (($#)); do
do_something $1
shift
done
Possibility 2:
Code:
while read line; do
do_something $line
done
But how would this be done in combination, so that the script does not wait for user input? I hope I made myself clear.
Hi Friends,
Can any of you explain me about the below line of code?
mn_code=`env|grep "..mn"|awk -F"=" '{print $2}'`
Im not able to understand, what exactly it is doing :confused:
Any help would be useful for me.

Hi,
I have a string like this,
char str ="This, a sample string.\\nThis is the second line, \\n \\n, we will have one blank line";

I tried "\n", "\\n", either not working.

rbash
RBASH(1) General Commands Manual RBASH(1)NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1)RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is
used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow-
ing are disallowed or not performed:
o changing directories with cd
o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV
o specifying command names containing /
o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command
o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command
o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup
o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup
o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators
o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command
o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command
o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins
o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command
o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted.
These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.
When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script.
