Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Automatically execute all programs in a directory Post 302428393 by Corona688 on Wednesday 9th of June 2010 04:59:17 PM

Probably, but you never gave any information whatsoever on that; do you have a list, or are we supposed to trawl the current directory for executable files, or executables but not scripts(if there's a ./configure in there you probably don't want your test system to run it! Smilie ) or should we look for files with a certain extension, or are you expecting us to query the makefile itself somehow, etc, etc, etc. Your pseudocode was the first hint we had. Smilie

To just run a list of commands from a textfile:

Code:
while read COMMAND
do
        $COMMAND
        echo -n "Hit enter"
        read
done < textfile

Or to find all executable files:

Code:
find ./ -maxdepth 1 -execuable -not -name 'configure' |
while read COMMAND
        $COMMAND
        echo -n "Hit enter"
        read
done

NAME
service - run a System V init script SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS] service --status-all service --help | -h | --version DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /. The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command. service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it. FILES
/etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts. ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts. SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton, update-rc.d(8), init(8), invoke-rc.d(8). Jan 2006 service(8)
