Batch file

[aze]

Hi!

How to create a batch file? I mean need some especial extension? maybe some heading?

[paul]

you mean a shell script :-)

and depends on what you want. ou can running any script (just about) in any languauge (just about) from the command line

it can have any name, or any extension (it doesn't work like windows does)

example:

a perl script (thisismyscript.name)

#!/usr/bin/perl



insert perl stuff here

 

a php script (thisismyscript.name)

#!/usr/bin/php -q

<?

phpself();

?>

 

then to run it

you will need to make it executable

chmod 755 thisismyscript.name

then you should be able to execute it by doing

./thisismyscript.name

if that doesn't work try doing

perl ./thisismyscript.name

or

php ./thisismyscript.name

Or of course a shell script (any file name, any extension):

#!/bin/bash



... some bash scripting here ...

thank you guys!

Actually I need make just simple actions like change a dir (cd) and execute a program (./)

In gnome when I click this file it opens like a simple text file. :(

probably it doesnt have the execute permission bits set. right click on it and go to the properties or something and make sure that its execution bits are checked...

 

or go to a terminal,change to the directory containing the script and issue

$ chmod +x {script_name}

.

 

ciao!

Another way to do simple actions is to make an alias command

 

e.g.

 

alias seek='cd ~/somedir;grep -ri 'payroll' payroll.txt

 

when you type seek, it will do each command.

 

To make this permanent, you need to add it to a startup script, your .bashrc or /etc/profile file. I have a whole bunch of alias commands that I use. Want to go to my winSoftware partition? alias software='cd /mnt/software;clear;ll'

Well I trying to make an simple link to execute a program as SU

I simply created a text file:

su

/usr/bin/endeavour2

 

but when I run it the program don't start. What I'm doing wrong?

[hjlane3]

to launch a in SU for normal just type

 

su -c "proramhere"

 

it will prompt u for root password then launch the program with root privliges

 

ex..

 

su -c "/usr/bin/endeavour2"
