Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Assistance with my Find command to identify last part of a file name and report the name found Post 303041178 by greavette on Saturday 16th of November 2019 02:15:40 PM

Hello RudiC and thank you for this reply and inquiry.

The two file versions will never coexist together. It will either be:
bootstrap_cookbooks_version_green
bootstrap_cookbooks_version_red
or the file won't exist at all.

The reason for the oneliner is because I'm using a "Here Doc" in Bash to connect once to a group of servers and I'm issuing multiple commands against each server for a report. I know there are better ways to do this but this is the script we started with and what I'm supporting for now since the report from this script is actively used daily. Eventually I will move us to another way to retrieve the results we need but for now I'm keeping this script alive. So far I've been able to acheive what I need in this Here Doc step of the script whereby each data I want to retrieve from the remote server is contained all in one liner commands.

I hope this explanation is enough as to why I'm hoping I can answer this question using a one line command to identify the filename in this folder.

Thank you.

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
