Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to create an executable bash script for these commands? Post 302903148 by sea on Sunday 25th of May 2014 09:09:15 AM

Again, use either sudo OR su.

It is recomended to 'not' use sudo or su inside the script.
As once the script is executeable, it becomes an 'application' or 'command', and thus can be sudo'd.
-> sudo $(which cleariptables.sh)

Quote:
I did run the script but in a terminal using sudo su. I had to copy and paste line by line. The script works. I
If you copy line by line, why do you write a script?
Execute the script to try.
Smilie


The $(which APPNAME) part is required, as the root user, which you become upon su/sudo, dont have $HOME/bin/cleariptables.sh available, so you need to invoke which to supply, or straighly use, the full path to the script.
NOTE: The $(which APPNAME) part will NOT work upon su -c '$(which appname)', as this one will execute the which as root, which wont find the /home/bonafide/bin dir, despite the script in that.

Can we cosider "How to make an executable bash script" as done,
while i now want to know, is there an error in the script?

Or why do you want to make the awk a one liner?
This doesnt help read ability, and there is no use to it.

Honestly, and i dont want to be mean, 'one-liners' are for 'short' commands,pipes or very simple structures, and the more complex they are, the more advanced one should be.
Prior to attempt one liners, i highly recomend to write code that is properly syntaxed and uses idention. (regarding the script, this is achieved, but since you copied it, doesnt count)

What i wanted to say is:
Once one understands what the code does, one can go for one-liners, otherwise one just aims for unreadable / unfunctional code. (in harsh words)
Until then, one should leave one-liners to those in the know / with the skill.

To understand oneliners (get familiar to them), search for them and split them up into working! multi-liners.

Have a nice sunday!

MOLLY-GUARD(8)							  [FIXME: manual]						    MOLLY-GUARD(8)

NAME
molly-guard - guard against accidental shutdowns/reboots SYNOPSIS
shutdown [-hV] [--molly-guard-do-nothing] [-- script_options] halt [-hV] [--molly-guard-do-nothing] [-- script_options] reboot [-hV] [--molly-guard-do-nothing] [-- script_options] poweroff [-hV] [--molly-guard-do-nothing] [-- script_options] DESCRIPTION
molly-guard attempts to prevent you from accidentally shutting down or rebooting machines. It does this by injecting a couple of checks before the existing commands: halt, reboot, shutdown, and poweroff. This happens via scripts with the same names in /usr/sbin, so it only works if you have /usr/sbin before /sbin in your PATH! Before molly-guard invokes the real command, all scripts in /etc/molly-guard/run.d/ have to run and exit successfully; else, it aborts the command. run-parts(1) is used to process the directory. molly-guard passes any script_options to the scripts, and also populates the environment with the following variables: o MOLLYGUARD_CMD - the actual command invoked by the user. o MOLLYGUARD_DO_NOTHING - set to 1 if this is a demo-run. o MOLLYGUARD_SETTINGS - the path to a shell script snippet which scripts can source to obtain settings. molly-guard prints the contents of /etc/molly-guard/messages.d/COMMAND or /etc/molly-guard/messages.d/default to the console, if either exists. This is due to /etc/molly-guard/run.d/10-print-message. GUARDING SSH SESSIONS
molly-guard was primarily designed to shield SSH connections. This functionality (which should arguably be provided by the openssh-server package) is implemented in /etc/molly-guard/run.d/30-query-hostname. This script first tests whether the command is being executed from a tty which has been created by sshd. It also checks whether the variable SSH_CONNECTION is defined. If any of these tests are successful, test script queries the user for the machine's hostname, which should be sufficient to prevent the user from doing something by accident. You can pass the --pretend-ssh script option to molly-guard to pretend that those tests succeeds. Alternatively, setting ALWAYS_QUERY_HOSTNAME in /etc/molly-guard/rc causes the script to always query. The following situations are still UNGUARDED. If you can think of ways to protect against those, please let me know! o running sudo within screen or screen within sudo; sudo eats the SSH_CONNECTION variable, and screen creates a new pty. o executing those command in a remote terminal window, that is a XTerm started on a remote machine but displaying on the local X server. You have been warned. You can use the --molly-guard-do-nothing switch to prevent anything from happening, e.g. halt --molly-guard-do-nothing. OPTIONS
--molly-guard-do-nothing Cause molly-guard to print the command which would be executed, after processing all scripts, instead of executing it. -h, --help Display usage information. -V, --version Display version information. SEE ALSO
