Sorry for such a dreadful title, but I'm not sure how to be more descriptive. I'm hoping some of the more gurutastic out there can take a look at a solution I came up with to a problem, and advice if there are better ways to have gone about it.

I'm trying to understand if it's possible to create a set of variables that are numbered based on another variable (using eval) in a loop, and then call on it before the loop ends.
As an example I've written a script called question (The fist command is to show what is the contents of the... (2 Replies)

Hi all
Sorry for the basic question, but i am writing a shell script to get around a slightly flaky binary that ships with one of our servers. This particular utility randomly generates the correct information and could work first time or may work on the 12th or 100th attempt etc !.... (4 Replies)
Hi,
hope I am posting in the right section.
My problem is that I have 2 or more arguments passed and I want to check if the arguments passed exists or not.
The first argument should not exist and the remaining others should exist.
example:

Hi, I was debating if I should put this in the dummies or scripts section, I apologize in advance if I chose poorly.
Fairly new to Unix and BASH scripting but I thought I made it fairly well given my limited understanding. However, the output indicates that it's looping and I'm ending up with a... (5 Replies)

pam_console(8) System Administrator's Manual pam_console(8)NAME
pam_console - control permissions for users at the system console
SYNOPSIS
session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_console.so
DESCRIPTION
pam_console.so is designed to give users at the physical console (virtual terminals and local xdm-managed X sessions by default, but that
is configurable) capabilities that they would not otherwise have, and to take those capabilities away when the are no longer logged in at
the console. It provides two main kinds of capabilities: file permissions and authentication.
When a user logs in at the console and no other user is currently logged in at the console, pam_console.so will change permissions and own-
ership of files as described in the file /etc/security/console.perms. That user may then log in on other terminals that are considered
part of the console, and as long as the user is still logged in at any one of those terminals, that user will own those devices. When the
user logs out of the last terminal, the console may be taken by the next user to log in. Other users who have logged in at the console
during the time that the first user was logged in will not be given ownership of the devices unless they log in on one of the terminals;
having done so on any one terminal, the next user will own those devices until he or she has logged out of every terminal that is part of
the physical console. Then the race can start for the next user. In practice, this is not a problem; the physical console is not gener-
ally in use by many people at the same time, and pam_console.so just tries to do the right thing in weird cases.
ARGUMENTS
debug turns on debugging
allow_nonroot_tty
gain console locks and change permissions even if the TTY's owner is not root.
permsfile=filename
tells pam_console.so to get its permissions database from a different file than /etc/security/console.perms
fstab=filename
tells pam_console.so to read the table of configured filesystems from a file other than /etc/fstab when scanning permsfile. This
file is used to map directories to device names.
