I am writing a shell script that executes another script by fetching it over the network and piping its contents into sh (ftp -o - $script | sh; or wget -O - |sh). Since this bypasses putting the script on the filesystem, this means I can't source the script directly (using . ), but rather it... (1 Reply)

Hi,
I am having a trivial doubt. Please see the below pipeline code sequence.
command1 | (command 2; commend 3)
I am aware that the command that follows pipe will run in the sub shell by the Unix kernel. But how about here? Since these set of commands are grouped under "parantheses", will... (6 Replies)

runlock
RUNLOCK(1) General Commands Manual RUNLOCK(1)NAME
runlock - prevent concurrent execution of a process
SYNOPSYS
runlock [ -h ]
runlock [ -d ] [ -f pathname ] [ -t timeout ] command [ args ]
DESCRIPTION
runlock tries to hold an exclusive lock while it executes a command. Subsequent execution of runlock with the same lock, while that lock is
held, will cause the new instance of runlock to terminate with a faliure exit code. Otherwise, the exit code of the subprocess is returned.
USAGE -d
Debug mode; send log messages to standard error as well as to the system log.
-f pathname
Specifies the pathname of the file to use as a lock file. The default is to create a lock file in /tmp/cronutils-$USER with the
name of the command, and suffix ".pid".
-t timeout
Specifies the duration, in seconds, for runlock to wait before giving up on trying to acquire the lock. The default is 5 seconds.
-h
Prints some basic help.
BUGS
Sending SIGALRM to runlock before the timer has expired will cause the subprocess to be killed.
