Scripting with Bourne-Again SHell...

renaming non-ascii file names

Mon, 08/14/2017 - 12:52 — sandip

Below script replaces non-ascii character with an underscore in file/folder names.

Before running the below script, cd to the folder with files that need renamed first.

#!/bin/bash
# rename2ascii.sh
# Replaces non-ascii character with an underscore.

function rename_to_ascii() {
  echo -n "$1" | \
  perl -ne '$new = $_; if($new =~ s/[^[:ascii:]]/_/g) {
    print("Renaming $_ to $new\n");
    rename($_, $new);
  }'
}

export -f rename_to_ascii

find -depth -exec bash -c 'rename_to_ascii "$0"' {} \;

Handling filenames with spaces, carriage returns or other control characters

Mon, 08/27/2012 - 23:42 — sandip

find -print0 | while IFS= read -rd $'\0' filename ; do echo "[$filename]" ; done

-print0, prints the full file name on the standard output, followed by a null character instead of the newline character.

IFS, is the "Internal Field Separator" that is used for word splitting after expansion. Here, IFS is set to null string.

-r, specifies that backslash "\" does not act as an escape character.

-d, is the delimeter. Which in this case is the null character '\0'.

$'\0', the $ prefixed single quoted string decodes the backslash escape character. In this case a null character.

[], is simply there to print out the text, so you notice any spaces in the beginning and end of text.

redirect stdout/stderr within bash script

Fri, 06/22/2012 - 08:04 — sandip

This executes the date command via shell script and logs it to the specified file with current pid.

#!/bin/bash
LOG=$$.log
exec > $LOG 2>&1
date

check webpage load time via wget

Tue, 02/22/2011 - 17:19 — sandip

Here is a simple one liner to check on download time of a webpage:

(time wget -p --no-cache --delete-after www.linuxweblog.com -q ) 2>&1 | awk '/real/ {print $2}'

Domain searching with bash

Thu, 01/13/2011 - 17:21 — sandip

Below is a simple bash script that uses the dictionary to go through 3 letter words and does a whois check to see if the domain is available. You probably won't find any of those as all would have been taken. May want to try with 5 or 6 letters instead, in which case change the value of "$count".

#!/bin/bash
# domain_search.sh

# Get a list of 3 letter domains.
for x in `cat /usr/share/dict/words`; do count=`echo $x| wc -m`; [ $count = 4 ] && echo $x; done > domains_list.txt

# Get whois record.
for x in `cat ./domains_list.txt` ; do (whois $x.com | grep -q '^No match for domain') && echo $x; sleep 60; done > domains_available.txt

# Change to lowercase and sort print.
cat domains_available.txt | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]|sort| uniq

Clean up config files

Tue, 10/12/2010 - 21:53 — sandip

Below are one liners to clean out all comment and blank lines with grep and sed, usually in config files.

grep -v "^#\|^$" <conf_file>

or

grep -v "^\#" <conf_file> | sed '/^$/d'

Check for entries in passwd file

Mon, 05/10/2010 - 00:51 — sandip

Check for entries in passwd file:

getent passwd username >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "user exists" || echo "user does not exist"

id username >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "user exists" || echo "user does not exist"

awk -F':' '$1 ~ /^username$/ {print $0}' /etc/passwd  | grep -w username >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "user exists" || echo "user does not exist"

Search bot report

Mon, 03/22/2010 - 13:41 — sandip

Here is a simple bash script to get a daily report of search bot results of Success (200) and Failed (404) hits:

#!/bin/bash
# bot_report.sh

# default: ./bot_report.sh Googlebot /var/log/httpd/access_log

svn checkout via shell script

Mon, 03/30/2009 - 23:19 — sandip

Very often development servers only have self-signed certificate for ssl connection. I've recently had to create a script that would checkout from a https svn repository that would fail with "Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted..." . Below is a workaround used to temporarily trust the certificate.

svn --username $SVN_USER --password $SVN_PASS --no-auth-cache checkout ${REPO_URL}/${REPO_PATH} $REPO_PATH <<EOF 2>/dev/null
t
EOF

Week of Month

Thu, 01/08/2009 - 10:24 — sandip

Here is a simple one liner to get the week of month via awk from a `cal` output:

$ cal | awk -v date="`date +%d`" '{ for( i=1; i <= NF ; i++ ) if ($i==date) { print FNR-2} }'
