Nope that doesn't work in DOS either.
I put a test.png in a folder.
1st try:
paste script in batch, execute -> Fail, png stays unrenamed
2nd try:
execute said script from CMD: -> Fail, output: "a cannot be syntactically processed here."
3rd try:
execute by pasting into command line -> see 1
Honestly I would be happy with ONLY ONE approach that will work while executed form a batch script...

I need to repeat this command on a configurable interval:
igal -a -r -U -w 6
I tried this:
#!/bin/bash
igal -a -r -U -w 6
sleep 30
Just a guess that it MIGHT work.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here is my code.
for file in *1.3.html ; do mv "$file" `echo $file | tr '.1.3' ''` ; done
For some reason I am getting an error.
mv: file.idlesince.1.3.html and file.idlesince.1.3.html are identical
Could this be done a different way? (5 Replies)

SETUID(1) General Commands Manual SETUID(1)
NAME
setuid - run a command with a different uid.
SYNOPSIS
setuid username|uid command [ args ]
DESCRIPTION
Setuid changes user id, then executes the specified command. Unlike some versions of su(1), this program doesn't ever ask for a password
when executed with effective uid=root. This program doesn't change the environment; it only changes the uid and then uses execvp() to find
the command in the path, and execute it. (If the command is a script, execvp() passes the command name to /bin/sh for processing.)
For example,
setuid some_user $SHELL
can be used to start a shell running as another user.
Setuid is useful inside scripts that are being run by a setuid-root user -- such as a script invoked with super, so that the script can
execute some commands using the uid of the original user, instead of root. This allows unsafe commands (such as editors and pagers) to be
used in a non-root mode inside a super script. For example, an operator with permission to modify a certain protected_file could use a
super command that simply does:
cp protected_file temp_file
setuid $ORIG_USER ${EDITOR:-/bin/vi} temp_file
cp temp_file protected_file
(Note: don't use this example directly. If the temp_file can somehow be replaced by another user, as might be the case if it's kept in a
temporary directory, there will be a race condition in the time between editing the temporary file and copying it back to the protected
file.)
