<0> greycat, why not the info app?
<1> wycats: the original, no. the second one, yes.
<1> AnMaster: you have to ASK?
<2> I get a too many arguments error
<0> greycat, what is ASK?
<1> then $PID doesn't contain a single numeric word.
<0> oh hee
<2> line 65: [: too many arguments
<0> read it as an abbrev
<2> I did PID=`/usr/bin/pgrep lighttpd || 0`
<1> it probably returned multiple numbers.
<0> then what is wrong with the info program? besides that it crash all the time?
<1> it *crashes* too??
<1> that's a new one. I thought it just ****ed.
<3> pinfo has never crashed for me
<1> oh but wait, you're on Gentoo, aren't you...
<0> yeah, if you press go back quite a few times
<3> o wait, gentoo
<3> haha@greycat
<0> both on SuSE and Gentoo
<2> so maybe pgrep lighttpd -n || 0?
<1> wycats: how about you stop ****ing around and tell us what you're trying to do, or come up with something that's NOT just totally stupid?>
<4> byz ves .
<0> greycat, _sho_ ^
<1> what the hell is that || 0 doing there, anyway?
<4> SHH...................................
<5> obviously he has an app named 0
<0> yeah
<2> ummm... why would you ***ume that I'm trying to do something stupid
<2> I'm trying to fix a shell script for lighty
<1> for starters, because you have "command || 0"
<2> it wasn't working
<1> for seconds, because you don't seem to realize what pgrep does.
<0> then you need to install 0
<3> i think you want something like pid=$() || pid=X
<0> and pgrep is just grep -P right?
<4> intor
<0> drak-angel, are you trolling?
<1> for thirds (or was it zeroths?) you changed a perfectly valid question about -ne into -neq which is something totally bogus.
<2> http://www.computerhope.com/unix/upgrep.htm
<2> I read that
<4> troing what
<2> now I'm getting -neq: binary operator expected
<1> wycats: it will return ALL of the matching PIDS.
<4> trolling what
<2> right
<1> there can be more than one.
<4> right what
<2> but pgrep -n returns just the newest
<1> wycats: because -neq IS .........
<1> *plonk*
<2> I'm doing this: if [ 0 -neq $PID ]; then
<0> -neq doesn't exist do it? didn't last I checked
<4> anmaster what are you saying ?=/
<3> wycats, just use what i showed you
<1> and I've said it at least twice now, possibly more.
<0> drak-angel, you are saying odd things all the time, non relevant ones. like "SHH..................................."
<2> greycat: re: more than one pid?
<2> I already fixed that!
<4> yea so and ......
<3> sigh.
<3> wycats, im only going to say this once, and then im likely to scream at you with lots of profanity.
<3> help test. -ne is valid. -neq is NOT valid. read http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/refcards.html#AEN16986
<3> use PID=$(pgrep lighthttpd)||PID=0
<2> this is by far the most angry, nasty irc channel I've ever been on -- I'm a newbie, not an idiot
<1> and NEITHER ONE is going to help him compare an integer to a list of integers.
<2> I'm already doing pgrep lighttpd -n
<0> wycats, this channel expects you to RTFM
<3> sorry use PID=$(pgrep -n lighthttpd)||PID=0
<4> AnMaster: and is the annoying you ?
<2> which returns only one
<2> I said that a while ago
<3> let us know when you have read help test and the url you have just been provided
<2> you ***umed I'm an idiot, so you stopped reading what I said
<0> drak-angel, you makes no sense... ^_^
<4> yea i kind of don't do i m.m.m.m.m.m.m.........
<2> sounds good... thanks for all your help
<6> Hi! I have a file with one filename per line (names may contain spaces, files may be directories, files or symlinks), I want to create another file without directory names. any ideas about how to do a script? thanks!
<3> pzn: use parameter expansion
<3> man bash, search expansion
<1> while read f; do [[ -d $f ]] || echo "$f"; done < oldfile > newfile
<3> the short of it is ${i##*/}
<1> is that what he meant by "without directory names"?
<3> [[ -d?
<0> _sho_, depends on if the names ends in / ?
<1> I ***ume he wanted to remove the names that were directories.
<4> mmmmm........
<3> anmaster, i dont know of any files that end in /
<6> greycat, yes, that is what I meant
<1> while read f; do [[ -d $f ]] || echo "$f"; done < oldfile > newfile
<3> yeah, use greycats
<0> _sho_, the names in the file may not end in /
<6> ok. I understand about expansion between [[ and ]]
<0> greycat, shouldn't you quote "$f"? oh wait it is [[]]
<4> byz to samuel
<4> samuel hi
<3> hm, what if its suppsoed to be a directory, but doest exist, and doesnt end in /
<7> _sho_: AFAIK as far as 'default' bash settings are concerned every dir name ends with '/'
<4> wamty_: sup
<8> this is a litle bit specific but... is there an easy way to email the standard out generated by running a script to a group of people only if the script succeded? If the script fails I'd like to send an email to a different group of people. I would preferably also like this to not use a temporary file if possible
<6> greycat, thanks, it worked as expected! I tought about using xargs and had not success... your solution is very nice!
<1> bbeck: capture it in a variable or a temp file, and then check the result code.
<6> bbeck, make another script, that runs the first one, save output to /tmp/somefile and check $? (exit status), then based on it, call mail client
<8> so the structure would look like: x=$(command); if $? == somethign then email group A else email group B fi?
<4> maybe blah blah'
<4> HELLO
<7> bbeck: why not if command; ...
<8> "email group A" and "email group B" will use $x in them
<1> "$x" you mean.
<7> ah
<4> hi
<4> wow
<3> bbeck, use trap
<9> greycat: is your solution portable? (the one you gave to pzn's question)
<9> or is it just for bash?
<4> BLAH BLAH BLHA
<3> gc, banstick please
<1> do I have to scroll back to find out what his question was or what I said to him? :/
<9> no
<9> Solution: "while read f; do [[ -d $f ]] || echo "$f"; done < oldfile > newfile"
<1> [[ is non-portable. you could use [ -d "$f" ] instead.
<9> thanks
<4> up
<4> was up dude
<9> drak-angel: can't you stop?
