Since preparing 'translatable' strings for functions is boring, I thought I'd implement some more functions from TUI.
What does one need, when one wants cross-platform-compatible scripts?
A way to reckognize and differ them of course!
Code:
swarm.os.desktop() { #
# Returns the name of the DE/WM or terminal application name
# Assigned to: $DESKTOP
$PRINTF '%s\n' "${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP:-${DESKTOP_SESSION:-${TERM:-TTY}}}"
}
swarm.os.distro() { #
# Returns the name of the distro
# Assigned to: $DISTRO
# This /etc is not as dynamic as I'd like
# but its THE absolute standard - as far as I'm aware
if [[ ! -f "/etc/os-release" ]] || ! $GREP -E ^NAME= "/etc/os-release" | $SED s,"NAME=","",g >&1
then local e=/etc
local SF="release version" # Search For
local results=$(for a in $SF;do \ls "$e"|"$GREP" "$a";done)
local resultsFiles=$(for each in $results;do [[ -f "$e/$each" ]] && $PRINTF "$each ";done)
for each in $resultsFiles
do strcat="$($GREP -i ^NAME= $e/$each)"
[[ -n "$strcat" ]] && break
strcat="$($GREP -i ^id= $e/$each)"
[[ -n "$strcat" ]] && break
done
$PRINTF "${strcat/*=}"|$SED s,'\"','',g
fi
}
swarm.os.based() { #
# Returns arch, debian, redhat or unknown
# Assigned to: $BASED
out=""
if [[ -f /etc/redhat-release ]]
then out=redhat
elif [[ -f /etc/arch-release ]]
then out=arch
elif [[ -f /etc/debian_version ]]
then out=debian
else out=unknown
# Do further checking
# Changes according to: https://github.com/icy/pacapt/blob/ng/pacapt (153-180)
swarm.util.which cave 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && out=exherbo
swarm.util.which emerge 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && out=gentoo
swarm.util.which port 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && out=mac
swarm.util.which brew 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && out=mac
swarm.util.which zypper 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && out=opensuse
# Not sure if i handle these 2 properly
swarm.util.which pkg 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && out=openbsd
swarm.util.which pkgng 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && out=freebsd
fi
builtin echo "$out"
}
DISTRO="$(swarm.os.distro)"
DESKTOP="$(swarm.os.desktop)"
BASED="$(swarm.os.based)"
If you happen to have any recomended additions or changes, please, let me know so.
Have fun!

Hi,
I am trying to capture runtime stats of a shell script (c shell). Are there system variables to call? Or should I create a date variable at the start of the script and at the end of the script? I am trying to capture the time if the script stops or ends with error.
Please help.

partx
PARTX(8) System Administration PARTX(8)NAME
partx - tell the Linux kernel about the presence and numbering of on-disk partitions
SYNOPSIS
partx [-a|-d|-s] [-t TYPE] [-n M:N] [-] disk
partx [-a|-d|-s] [-t TYPE] partition [disk]
DESCRIPTION
Given a device or disk-image, partx tries to parse the partition table and list its contents. It optionally adds or removes partitions.
The disk argument is optional when a partition argument is provided. To force scanning a partition as if it were a whole disk (for example
to list nested subpartitions), use the argument "-". For example:
partx --show - /dev/sda3
This will see sda3 as a whole-disk rather than a partition.
This is not an fdisk program -- adding and removing partitions does not change the disk, it just tells the kernel about the presence and
numbering of on-disk partitions.
OPTIONS -a, --add
Add the specified partitions, or read the disk and add all partitions.
-b, --bytes
Print the SIZE column in bytes rather than in human-readable format.
-d, --delete
Delete the specified partitions or all partitions.
-g, --noheadings
Do not print a header line.
-l, --list
List the partitions. Note that all numbers are in 512-byte sectors. This output format is DEPRECATED in favour of --show. Don't
use it in newly written scripts.
-o, --output list
Define the output columns to use for --show and --raw output. If no output arrangement is specified, then a default set is used.
Use --help to get list of all supported columns.
-r, --raw
Use the raw output format.
-s, --show
List the partitions. All numbers (except SIZE) are in 512-byte sectors. The output columns can be rearranged with the --output
option.
-t, --type type
Specify the partition table type -- aix, bsd, dos, gpt, mac, minix, sgi, solaris_x86, sun, ultrix or unixware.
-n, --nr M:N
Specify the range of partitions. For backward compatibility also the format <M-N> is supported. The range may contain negative
numbers, for example "--nr :-1" means the last partition, and "--nr -2:-1" means the last two partitions. Supported range specifi-
cations are:
<M> Specifies just one partition (e.g. --nr 3).
<M:> Specifies lower limit only (e.g. --nr 2:).
<:N> Specifies upper limit only (e.g. --nr :4).
<M:N> or <M-N> Specifies lower and upper limits (e.g. --nr 2:4).
EXAMPLES
partx --show /dev/sdb3
partx --show --nr 3 /dev/sdb
partx --show /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdb
All three commands list partition 3 of /dev/sdb.
partx --show - /dev/sdb3
Lists all subpartitions on /dev/sdb3 (the device is used as whole-disk).
partx -o START -g --nr 3 /dev/sdb
Prints the start sector of partition 5 on /dev/sda without header.
partx -o SECTORS,SIZE /dev/sda5 /dev/sda
Lists the length in sectors and human-readable size of partition 5 on /dev/sda.
partx --add --nr 3:5 /dev/sdd
Adds all available partitions from 3 to 5 (inclusive) on /dev/sdd.
partx -d --nr :-1 /dev/sdd
Removes the last partition on /dev/sdd.
