We are having a little problem on a server. We want that some users should be able to do e.g. sudo and become root, but with the restriction that the user can't change root password. That is, a...

I should make an executable on our server, and are having some problem (I changed this question cause I found out that anser).
I'm getting this error when trying to do make:

Thanks, after your explanation it's kind of logical, same as in [[ ... ]] -expressions. I also changed in my last post.

I also noticed when I tested this that there is no need to use $ for a_start...

Perhaps there are better ways to solve it, but it works if you use ctrl-d instead.
Please use code-tags instead, and use indenting in your code for better readability.

Perhaps the posts before has solved your problem?
If not, and if you want to carry on with your solution I think this can get the for-loop to work, it's ugly, but works in bash (FreeBSD):
This ......

Ok, the second condition you should try was wrong, should be if [ -z "$num" ]; thenEDIT: I changed the variable names to those from the last posts in the following text:
The script (bash script, you...

The problem in your first post was missing spaces
if [$S='maintenance'];should be
if [ "$S" = 'maintenance' ];Also adding quotes surrounding $S, if $S is empty it will be an error otherwise.

Not good on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD (bash)
Gets
$ openssl rand -hex16
Usage: rand [options] num
where options are
-out file - write to file
-engine e - use engine e,...

Doecho "Enter Value : \c" ; read val
echo "Enter number: $val\c" ; read num
if [ "$num""X" = "X" ]; then # or use: if [ -z "$tmp" ];... if possible
num="$val"
fi
echo $val
echo $num

Don't know if I understand the problem exactly, but this sed maybe solve it:
sed -E 's/([^~]*~){18}3?/&\
/'

Isn't this working?

Perhaps it will work with these small adjustments:
#! /bin/sh
if [ -n "$(echo "$1" | egrep "^[0-9]+$")" ]; then
echo "good number: $1"
else
echo "bad number: $1"
fiBe...

$(...) is the same as `...`, I don't know if it's EXACTLY the same, but almost everyone recommend to use $(...)

Very informative thread :)

Like $RudiC says, there are probably some characters causing the "error", perhaps a space as the first character in HOSTN?
Change this line in your script to find out if the problem is that:

If your question is how to use it with only parameter 2, use this:
./script.sh "" integerAnd I would prefer if [ -z "$1" ]... instead of if [ ! "$1" ]...

I think some of the suggestions posted before mine will solve your problem, but if you want to know why var=$(echo $var|tr -d '\n\r')isn't working it's that you must use double quotes: var=$(echo...

@alienrunes (https://www.unix.com/members/302126079.html): first you are saving some column from each line in "myarchive.log" into $ARCHIVO (arch.txt), then in the while loop you are doing "sed" for...

I don't have so much to say about using "\" more than it's an escape for the following newline character, like esacping e.g. "$" with "\$". So perhaps it's important that there is no character (space...

You forgot "$"
DATE3=(perl -e '@f=localtime(time-(86400*7));printf "%02d%02d%02d\n",$f[5]%100,$f[4]+1,$f[3];')should be

Yes, the code in the functions are not executed when declaring them.

Ok. When I read through this thread I get a feeling that you perhaps haven't tried all different suggestions exactly as they are typed, or?
Please run this command and post exactly the result/error...

As the last line in colors.bash you can call the function colors.

Yes you can, as long as you don't use "local" for the variables (and of course if you call "setup" before other uses of the variable).

If you have FreeBSD try
date -v-7d +"%y%m%d"Adjust the format to what you want.

should be:
