Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Geographical location details of a server Post 302665885 by Neo on Tuesday 3rd of July 2012 10:09:43 AM

The way I see it is that if you are operating in a shell within a unix/linux environment, you are "in the shell" and if running script (any script) withing the shell you are running a "shell script".

This also means that you could compile the C code from MaxMinds that goes geolocation and run that binary "in the shell" and you are running a "shell script".

We run MaxMinds geolocation code/scripts on many web sites, and sometimes the requirement is for continent, country, region, state, designated metropolitan area (DMA), city, or even area code or zip code.

Frankly, I would never do this calling a service using wget or curl; because that would be adding an unnecessary, unreliable, and slow network call across the net to get geolocation data that is easily obtained with the various (free, opensource) MaxMinds APIs. mod_geoip for Apache is based on the same code.

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
atf-sh(3) BSD
