getatoppy - GET All TOPPY script for the TOPFIELD 5000 PVR

[Y P]

Hi everyone,

see below (and in an attached tarball) the script I built yesterday
(08-10-2009):
I called it GETATOPPY because it's way of working is quite
simple: it simply gets *all* files contained into the DataFiles repository of
your Topfield TF5xxxPVR and copy them to the (current) directory where the
script is launched from.

In fact I did this due to the fact that:
1) it only requires puppy, not guppy
2) guppy itself wasn't available in a working version for my Ubuntu Hardy LTS
(only for the Jaunty),
+ guppy may have problems with the runned Python version on your system.

So to get rid of error messages and going on with transfering the Toppy
files, I wrote that script and post it now for you!

Feel free to make a Starter under your Gnome desktop for running getatoppy,
the only requirment is that you should have installed puppy before running
getatoppy.

Enjoy!

echo "GETATOPPY !

GET A(ll) TOPPY files from Topfield's DataFiles dir to the current directory

IMPORTANT:

before continuing, be sure:
1) you have installed puppy on your system
2) you're running this script as su or root

GETATOPPY will copy now the content of Topfield's DataFiles dir
to the current dir:
* you're currently `whoami` and
* your present directory is `pwd`
* used puppy is `which puppy`

YOU MAY NOT BREAK THIS SCRIPT WHILE GETTING FILES OR THE CONNECTION WILL HANG!

read -p"Press now ENTER to proceed ... or CTRL+C to abort ... "

echo

puppy -c dir DataFiles

puppy -c dir DataFiles | awk '/^f/ { system(sprintf("puppy -c get \"DataFiles\\%s\" \"%s\"\n", substr($0, 49), substr($0,49))) }'

echo "
Finished !"

exit

# End of script.
