Hi, thanks to you both for the solutions I make a script for a basic installation of a servers, here the beginning, if anyone is interested and if you have some critics or advices don't hesitate, it will be beneficial to me :
1st step, I have created a file with a template from an interface file, named choice_interfaces.txt :
Code:
#--------------------------------------------------------------
# The loopback network interface
#--------------------------------------------------------------
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#--------------------------------------------------------------
# Eth0
#--------------------------------------------------------------
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
2nd step, I have created another file with my script :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#!/bin/bash
fetchip() {
printf "%s: " "$1"
until
read
[[ "$REPLY" =~ ^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$ ]] &&
{
IFS=. read ip1 ip2 ip3 ip4 <<< "$REPLY"
[[ $ip1 -le 255 && $ip2 -le 255 && $ip3 -le 255 && $ip4 -le 255 ]]
}
do
printf "Invalid $1 IP address - Please re-enter\n%s: " "$1"
done
}
cp /home/scripts/choice_interfaces.txt /home/scripts/interfaces.txt
chmod 644 /home/scripts/interfaces.txt
echo -e "Please enter the network informations into the /etc/network/interfaces file, complete them below :\n"
sed -n '1,10p' choice_interfaces.txt
fetchip address
fetchip network
fetchip netmask
fetchip broadcast
fetchip gateway
sed -i '12s/$/\n address '$address'/' interfaces.txt
sed -i '13s/$/\n network '$network'/' interfaces.txt
sed -i '14s/$/\n netmask '$netmask'/' interfaces.txt
sed -i '15s/$/\n broadcast '$broadcast'/' interfaces.txt
sed -i '16s/$/\n gateway '$gateway'/' interfaces.txt
#mv /home/scripts/interfaces.txt /etc/network/interfaces
on this, see you later

Wow I'm so zoned out I don't even know if I posted this question up already (I couldn't find it in my book marks or in "yesterday's" post).

Surely there's an easier way to do this, lets see if anyone knows! I am new to scripting so go easy on me!
I have the following script and at the moment it doesn't work and I believe the problem is that I am using a while loop within a while loop. When I run the script using sh -x I can see... (6 Replies)

Hi, I hope the title does not scare people to look into this thread but it describes roughly what I'm trying to do. I need a solution in PHP.
I'm a programming beginner, so it might be that the approach to solve this, might be easier to solve with an other approach of someone else, so if you... (0 Replies)

Firstly, I would like to apologize if this is not the appropriate sub-forum to post about GNU/BSD makefile scripting. Though my code is in C++, because I am focusing on the makefile I thought it would go better in shell scripting. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Secondly, I am not interested in... (0 Replies)
Hi.
How can I create a history function? (By "read" command or so)

How can I configure a read command so that the arrow keys are not displayed so funny? (^[[A)
Thanks in advance. (4 Replies)
I am using this code:
for e in {1..14}

awk '{gsub(/^.*GGGGGG|TTTTT.*$/,"",$0)} 1' $e.1 > ${e}.2

However, in the second loop instead of GGGGGG|TTTTT, I should use AAAAAA|CCCCCC.
For third loop CCAAAA|CCCCAA, so on and so forth. Is there any way to accomplish this without writing... (20 Replies)

lo
LO(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual LO(4)NAME
lo -- software loopback network interface
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device loop
DESCRIPTION
The loop interface is a software loopback mechanism which may be used for performance analysis, software testing, and/or local communication.
As with other network interfaces, the loopback interface must have network addresses assigned for each address family with which it is to be
used. These addresses may be set or changed with the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl(2). The loopback interface should be the last interface configured,
as protocols may use the order of configuration as an indication of priority. The loopback should never be configured first unless no hard-
ware interfaces exist.
The loopback interface lo0 is created at boottime, it always exists and cannot be destroyed with ifconfig(8). Additional loopback interfaces
can be created by using the ifconfig(8) create command.
DIAGNOSTICS
lo%d: can't handle af%d . The interface was handed a message with addresses formatted in an unsuitable address family; the packet was
dropped.
SEE ALSO inet(4), intro(4), ifconfig(8)HISTORY
The lo device appeared in 4.2BSD.
BUGS
Previous versions of the system enabled the loopback interface automatically, using a nonstandard Internet address (127.1). Use of that
address is now discouraged; a reserved host address for the local network should be used instead.
