Given that there is no way to know what files might be present in the directory in which this script might be run, to guarantee that you won't get a syntax error in find if .direct* or .xsession* expand to more than one filename, and to guarantee that all files with the desired names will be matched if either of those patterns match a single filename in the current directory, I think it would be safer to change:
in the code Chubler_XL suggested in post #4 to:
(quoting those two filename matching patterns).
Hello -
I have a bash script which does some logging, and I'd like to include the line number of the echo statement that pipes into $LOGGER:
MYPID=$$
MYNAME=`basename $0`
LOGGER="/usr/bin/logger -t $MYNAME($LINENO) -p daemon.error"
...
echo 'this is an entry into the log file' | $LOGGER

I have a script that takes an option for server pools to run the script against. The option is given as a comma separated list (ie, -p 201,204,301).
I'm using eval and brace expansion to get those pool numbers into an array. It works fine unless only 1 pool number is given. Here's the code:

Hello,
is there a kind soul who can answer me, does the SH support double substitution known as indirect expansion similar to BASH? The syntax for bash is ${!var}.
For instance in bash I can write something like this:
VAR="value"
REF_VAR="VAR"
echo ${!REF_VAR}
and get the "value"... (1 Reply)

dh_installdeb
DH_INSTALLDEB(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLDEB(1)NAME
dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory
SYNOPSIS
dh_installdeb [debhelperoptions]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files into the DEBIAN directories in package build directories with
the correct permissions.
FILES
package.postinst
package.preinst
package.postrm
package.prerm
These maintainer scripts are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.
package.triggers
package.shlibs
These control files are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
package.conffiles
This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN directory.
In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory in a package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this
program, so there is no need to list them manually here.
package.maintscript
Lines in this file correspond to dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters. Any shell metacharacters will be escaped, so
arbitrary shell code cannot be inserted here. For example, a line such as "mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will insert
maintainer script snippets into all maintainer scripts sufficient to move that conffile.
A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency is set in
${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that token into an appropriate place in your debian/control file.
SEE ALSO debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
