If you want a child script to set environment variables in the parent...

Your RE is matching the local echo of hostname -i\r sent earlier. Try this RE .*\r\n(.*)\r\n#

I do remember you being quite concerned with performance in this SWARM stuff and I would have thought the bash =~ operator could be use in place of grep.

In general you would use VAR=$( command ) to capture the output of each command and then echo your result at the end like this:

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 1 ]

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting your request but would this suffice?

. ./file.txt
echo "a[1] = ${a[1]} a[2] = ${a[2]} a[3] = ${a[3]}"
echo "b[1] = ${b[1]} b[2] = ${b[2]} b[3] = ${b[3]}"

<( list ) (process substitution) not available is sh, your first example was probably using bash to run the script.

Apologies, I forgot to set $num in my example:

$ text='QIl reçoit 5 000 $ à la livraison. 5 000 $?'
$ num=1
$ echo '((1)) ((2))' > temp.tmp
$ perl -i -CA -pne 'my $val='\'"${text}"\'';...

You could write a script that asks and then executes /bin/crontab. Put this in the PATH before /bin (eg /usr/local/bin):

Script could be something like this as an example. You may not want to...

I found the problem with the perl code $ is expanded in perl RE to avoid this I put the string in a perl variable with single quotes around it like this:

$ text='QIl reçoit 5 000 $ à la livraison....

Try setting PATH to a reasonable value at the top of that script. Cron does not execute /etc/profile or other login scripts so PATH is likely to be unset then the script is failing to find external...

What is the contents of the script then?

If they are directories in your filesystem you could try:

$ cd /PPC/Cloud_Automation/Applications/APPNAME/Files
$ find . -type d -print

./Data Management

./Essbase...

A issue I see a lot with cron is that the environment is not set as it is during a normal login. Particularly the PATH environment variable.

With your particular script I'm guessing that...

Using tcsh version 6.22.01, with no matching files the script appears to be working correctly:

$ ./odensun

find: No match.
No zip files found.
No tar files found.

Have you considered inotifywait(1) (https://www.unix.com/man-page/debian/1/inotifywait/) provided by the inotify-tools package on some distributions, this can run your script whenever a file appears...

This is working as expected in bash 4.4.12

$ var="/etc/tomcat/server.xml /etc/tomcat/test/server.xml"
$ var2=( $var )

Nice procedure nezabudka, but original request was selection of item by number or by name:



For a higher level of difficulty how about spaces in the options:

How about this using the shell select internal

I have had some success with prompting for the password (without username) from sudo like this:

Do the commands realpath or readlink (with or without -f) help here at all?

Or perhaps the Cwd module from perl:
perl -MCwd -e 'print Cwd::realpath($ARGV[0])' /home/user_name

Sorry about my delay in gettng back think timezone differences are involved here. looks like we have some nice solutions coming together in this thread now.

This is the pseudo code I had in mind...

How about trying to give us some pseudo code for how this file should be processed.
