Appendix A. Contributed Scripts

These scripts, while not fitting into the text of this document, do illustrate some interesting shell programming techniques. They are useful, too. Have fun analyzing and running them.


Example A-1. manview: Viewing formatted manpages

 1 #!/bin/bash
 2 # manview.sh: Formats the source of a man page for viewing.
 3 
 4 # This is useful when writing man page source and you want to
 5 #+ look at the intermediate results on the fly while working on it.
 6 
 7 E_WRONGARGS=65
 8 
 9 if [ -z "1ドル" ]
 10 then
 11 echo "Usage: `basename 0ドル` filename"
 12 exit $E_WRONGARGS
 13 fi
 14 
 15 groff -Tascii -man 1ドル | less
 16 # From the man page for groff.
 17 
 18 # If the man page includes tables and/or equations,
 19 # then the above code will barf.
 20 # The following line can handle such cases.
 21 #
 22 # gtbl < "1ドル" | geqn -Tlatin1 | groff -Tlatin1 -mtty-char -man
 23 #
 24 # Thanks, S.C.
 25 
 26 exit 0


Example A-2. mailformat: Formatting an e-mail message

 1 #!/bin/bash
 2 # mail-format.sh: Format e-mail messages.
 3 
 4 # Gets rid of carets, tabs, also fold excessively long lines.
 5 
 6 # =================================================================
 7 # Standard Check for Script Argument(s)
 8 ARGS=1
 9 E_BADARGS=65
 10 E_NOFILE=66
 11 
 12 if [ $# -ne $ARGS ] # Correct number of arguments passed to script?
 13 then
 14 echo "Usage: `basename 0ドル` filename"
 15 exit $E_BADARGS
 16 fi
 17 
 18 if [ -f "1ドル" ] # Check if file exists.
 19 then
 20 file_name=1ドル
 21 else
 22 echo "File \"1ドル\" does not exist."
 23 exit $E_NOFILE
 24 fi
 25 # =================================================================
 26 
 27 MAXWIDTH=70 # Width to fold long lines to.
 28 
 29 # Delete carets and tabs at beginning of lines,
 30 #+ then fold lines to $MAXWIDTH characters.
 31 sed '
 32 s/^>//
 33 s/^ *>//
 34 s/^ *//
 35 s/		*//
 36 ' 1ドル | fold -s --width=$MAXWIDTH
 37 # -s option to "fold" breaks lines at whitespace, if possible.
 38 
 39 # This script was inspired by an article in a well-known trade journal
 40 #+ extolling a 164K Windows utility with similar functionality.
 41 #
 42 # An nice set of text processing utilities and an efficient
 43 #+ scripting language provide an alternative to bloated executables.

Example A-3. rn: A simple-minded file rename utility

This script is a modification of Example 12-15.

 1 #! /bin/bash
 2 #
 3 # Very simpleminded filename "rename" utility (based on "lowercase.sh").
 4 #
 5 # The "ren" utility, by Vladimir Lanin (lanin@csd2.nyu.edu),
 6 #+ does a much better job of this.

 44 # Exercises:
 45 # ---------
 46 # What type of files will this not work on?
 47 # How can this be fixed?
 48 #
 49 # Rewrite this script to process all the files in a directory
 50 #+ containing spaces in their names, and to rename them,
 51 #+ substituting an underscore for each space.


Example A-4. blank-rename: renames filenames containing blanks

This is an even simpler-minded version of previous script.

 1 #! /bin/bash
 2 # blank-rename.sh
 3 #
 4 # Substitutes underscores for blanks in all the filenames in a directory.
 5 
 6 ONE=1 # For getting singular/plural right (see below).
 7 number=0 # Keeps track of how many files actually renamed.
 8 FOUND=0 # Successful return value.
 9 
 10 for filename in * #Traverse all files in directory.
 11 do
 12 echo "$filename" | grep -q " " # Check whether filename
 13 if [ $? -eq $FOUND ] #+ contains space(s).
 14 then
 15 fname=$filename # Strip off path.
 16 n=`echo $fname | sed -e "s/ /_/g"` # Substitute underscore for blank.
 17 mv "$fname" "$n" # Do the actual renaming.
 18 let "number += 1"

Example A-5. encryptedpw: Uploading to an ftp site, using a locally encrypted password

 1 #!/bin/bash
 2 
 3 # Example "ex72.sh" modified to use encrypted password.
 4 
 5 # Note that this is still somewhat insecure,

 5 # This is the Bash script version of John Conway's "Game of Life". #
 6 # "Life" is a simple implementation of cellular automata. #
 7 # --------------------------------------------------------------------- #
 8 # On a rectangular grid, let each "cell" be either "living" or "dead". #
 9 # Designate a living cell with a dot, and a dead one with a blank space.#
 10 # Begin with an arbitrarily drawn dot-and-blank grid, #
 11 #+ and let this be the starting generation, "generation 0". #
 12 # Determine each successive generation by the following rules: #
 13 # 1) Each cell has 8 neighbors, the adjoining cells #
 14 #+ left, right, top, bottom, and the 4 diagonals. #
 15 # 123 #
 16 # 4*5 #
 17 # 678 #
 18 # #
 19 # 2) A living cell with either 2 or 3 living neighbors remains alive. #
 20 # 3) A dead cell with 3 living neighbors becomes alive (a "birth"). #
 21 SURVIVE=2 #
 22 BIRTH=3 #
 23 # 4) All other cases result in dead cells. #

Example A-14. ftpget: Downloading files via ftp

 1 #! /bin/sh 
 2 # $Id: ftpget,v 1.2 91/05/07 21:15:43 moraes Exp $ 
 3 # Script to perform batch anonymous ftp. Essentially converts a list of
 4 # of command line arguments into input to ftp.
 5 # Simple, and quick - written as a companion to ftplist 
 6 # -h specifies the remote host (default prep.ai.mit.edu) 
 7 # -d specifies the remote directory to cd to - you can provide a sequence 
 8 # of -d options - they will be cd'ed to in turn. If the paths are relative, 
 9 # make sure you get the sequence right. Be careful with relative paths - 
 10 # there are far too many symlinks nowadays. 
 11 # (default is the ftp login directory)
 12 # -v turns on the verbose option of ftp, and shows all responses from the 
 13 # ftp server. 
 14 # -f remotefile[:localfile] gets the remote file into localfile 
 15 # -m pattern does an mget with the specified pattern. Remember to quote 
 16 # shell characters. 
 17 # -c does a local cd to the specified directory
 18 # For example, 
 19 # 	ftpget -h expo.lcs.mit.edu -d contrib -f xplaces.shar:xplaces.sh \
 20 #		-d ../pub/R3/fixes -c ~/fixes -m 'fix*' 
 21 # will get xplaces.shar from ~ftp/contrib on expo.lcs.mit.edu, and put it in
 22 # xplaces.sh in the current working directory, and get all fixes from
 23 # ~ftp/pub/R3/fixes and put them in the ~/fixes directory. 
 24 # Obviously, the sequence of the options is important, since the equivalent
 25 # commands are executed by ftp in corresponding order

 275 The key (no pun intended) to a Unified Content File System (UCFS)
 276 is to distinguish the files in the system based on their content.
 277 Distinguishing files by their name is just, so, 20th Century.
 278 
 279 The content is distinguished by computing a checksum of that content.
 280 This version uses the md5sum program to generate a 128 bit checksum
 281 representative of the file's contents.
 282 There is a chance that two files having different content might
 283 generate the same checksum using md5sum (or any checksum). Should
 284 that become a problem, then the use of md5sum can be replace by a
 285 cyrptographic signature. But until then...
 286 
 287 The md5sum program is documented as outputting three fields (and it
 288 does), but when read it appears as two fields (array elements). This
 289 is caused by the lack of whitespace between the second and third field.
 290 So this function gropes the md5sum output and returns:
 291 	[0]	32 character checksum in hexidecimal (UCFS filename)
 292 	[1]	Single character: ' ' text file, '*' binary file
 293 	[2]	Filesystem (20th Century Style) name
 294 	Note: That name may be the character '-' indicating STDIN read.
