I'm currently using bash in a mac, but I was testing the code from the original post also in GNU/Linux, in bash too.
I see how several unterminated instances of the 'listen' section would cause the behavior. I used ps to check, and killed all undesired instances of the listen section, but that didn't seem to solve it. So I split the script into two scripts:
listen.sh
EDIT: The behavior only happens without the sleep delay. But I would like to have a working script that does not require the sleep delay.
prompt.sh
So, on one terminal, I run ./listen.sh, and I leave it there, on a second one, I run ./prompt.sh, and leave it there also, and finally, on a third terminal, I run "printf 'Hello, world!' > INPUT".
I go back to the second terminal, and type 'y', and get the same undesired behavior. This time, I made sure there were no undesired unterminated instances of the listen section. bipinajith: Are you using the exact same code from my original post, or did you add any changes to yours?
I posted a question on date intervals about a month back asking about how I could be able to go about a user entering the starting year/month/day and an ending year/month/day and then the script automatically cycling through each day of each month of each year that the user has specified.

In my server migration requirement, I need to compare if one file on old server is exactly the same as the corresponding file on the new server.

divide input values into specified number (-100 or -200) according to the key (a1 or a2 ....)
For ex: if we give -100 in the command line it would create 100 number intervals (1-100, 100-200, 200-300) untill it covers the value 300 in a1.
Note: It should work the same even with huge numbers... (3 Replies)

Need to use dd to generate a large file from a sample file of random data. This is because I don't have /dev/urandom.
I create a named pipe then:
dd if=mynamed.fifo do=myfile.fifo bs=1024 count=1024
but when I cat a file to the fifo that's 1024 random bytes:

There was an upload recently on generating a pseudo-random file when /dev/random does NOT exist.
This does not need /dev/random, /dev/urandom or $RANDOM either...
(I assume $RANDOM relies on the /dev/random device in some way.)
This code uses hexdump just because I like hexdump for ease of... (2 Replies)

shells
shells(4) File Formats shells(4)NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
/bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
/usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
