Shell Scripts session followup

[Souvik Das Gupta]

Hi

Thanks to Varun, it was a nice session. It was the first time we had
discussed on loads of topics together.
I am starting this thread to continue our discussions and problems
that were left unfinished.

Firstly, I checked out a link for tutorial on Shell Script, we can all
go through it: http://linuxgazette.net/133/cherian.html

Also it seems that there is no "proper" way of specifying 100 numbers
in for loop. The only hopeful alternative is to have a file which has
hundred numbers stored in it and then using something like:
for i in `cat /etc/group`

sir,
  what is cat/etc/group command doing in this case .

[AMAN AHUJA]

It is :

 

   cat /etc/group

 

which will echo to the screen the contents of the file /etc/group/ which had to be numerals.

[AMAN AHUJA]

There is a keyword 'seq' too which might do the work for us.

Isn't it?

 

for x in `seq 1 5`
do
echo $x
done

This will echo from 1 to 5.

' seq ' working perfect as a bash shell command in ubuntu.

Is there any specific scripting language too to write the scripts for OS's shell?

[varun mitra]

hey , check out the wikipedia on "scripting language" and youll get a complete answer to your question

[Souvik Das Gupta]

Hey I found another good webpage
http://www.geocities.com/cyberkabila/shell/shell.htm
You can download 42 shell scripts from here. It really shows the power
of shell scripts
