I want to capture a last file in a directory in a shl scrip
Cd to the directory
$last ls -1 *the_bills.dat* | tail -1
This is not problem, but I need to copy that file to another directory, but in order to be able to copy to that directory, I need to su in unix, I am sure my sistem administrator does not want to see the password harcode in my shl script how I can do that?
This is more of a sysadmin problem than a programmer problem.
1. get him to set up sudo for you, such that you can
Code:
sudo su - somespecialuser
This could be pfexec on Solaris 10.
2. set up ACL's or group access on the directory in question, to allow you to mess with the files.
Any script will have a password - expect, here document, etc.
Slightly secure:
If the script runs in production in your username ( or a special username) create
a file with 700 permissions for the user. Put the password in it. Read the password in the script. Or set 700 on the script file and leave the password in it.
Thanks Jim, I agree but she is not a nice human being(believe me!)
After I move the file to that directory, I need to gzip and encrypted.
I never do this in a shl script, I do it from the command line and it works..
cd /home/nelnet
spinel:/home/nelnet$ gpg -e 2010_11_07_05_11_xxxxxx_bills.dat.gz
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on configuration file `/home/nelnet/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: WARNING: unsafe enclosing directory permissions on configuration file `/home/nelnet/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
You did not specify a user ID. (you may use "-r")
Current recipients:
Enter the user ID. End with an empty line:
You did not specify a user ID. (you may use "-r")
Current recipients:

This works in the command line, it gzip and encrypted the file
If you can point me in the right direction, I will appreciated
