[SOLVED] SMILEYNET Standard Scripts: Debugging Linux Versions

des_a · 11-17-2023, 09:41 PM

I am trying to debug the Linux version of my standard scripts. My standard scripts are a "network platform", that I can rely on. As soon as I can, the general rule is on certain parts of the network, no standard scripts, no admittance. This limits it to certain OSs, which I pre-approve. Linux is the first OS, with the distribution being Linux Mint, that I want to re-enable the feature on.

I DID have the Linux version working. However, I lost most of my code. So now I don't have all code working. But I have a great start! This will be used first of all mainly on my network. Once I get this, I can move on to more stuff for my network. I would like to focus on Linux Mint first this time. Windows is changing and requiring too much money to keep up with right now.

We'll therefore focus on that. I'm also focusing on making sure what I've already written works. It does NOT so far. I might later share the whole thing, so others can benefit from my work and whoever helps me. But this particular program in this state, is NOT my goal to sell or anything. OK. Here goes!

Here is part of my /etc/settings folder.

des_a · 11-17-2023, 09:52 PM

Let's start there, please. Fixing that, will fix a lot. I just don't see what I got wrong when looking at it's code. I've been looking at it for about 3 months so far. I also had to generate the settings from scratch again, so maybe that's the problem.

Also, I had my test configuration wrong. I must always specify the whole path, and then, when I'm done, I end it by putting (none) in the path, like this:

osnames.sdr:

Code:

Windows /etc/settings/Operating_Systems/Windows/Windows.sdr

Windows/Windows.sdr

Code:

XP (none)
10 (none)

It had been a LONG time wince I'd needed to write the configuration for this set of programs. Even what I had before I lost it was way! way! out of date!

des_a · 11-18-2023, 08:30 PM

Now I'll configure it properly and move on to the next tests. I might have tweaked another file, so I'll first see if it still works all the way.

des_a · 11-19-2023, 09:50 PM

OK. Doesn't work with the better configuration:

Linux.sdr:

Code:

All (none)
Mandriva /etc/settings/Operating_Systems/Linux/Mandriva/Mandriva.sdr
Mageia /etc/settings/Operating_Systems/Linux/Mageia/Mageia.sdr
Linux_Mint /etc/settings/Operating_Systems/Linux/Linux_Mint/Linux_Mint.sdr

Mandriva/Mandriva.sdr:

Code:

All (none)
2010.1 (none)

Mageia/Mageia.sdr:

Code:

All (none)
8 (none)

Linux_Mint/Linux_Mint.sdr:

Code:

All (none)
20 (none)
21 (none)
21.1 (none)
21.2 (none)

des_a · 11-28-2023, 09:49 PM

Finding and using some old code, I was able to complete the one I was working on, by also making a few tweaks. Here is the modified files:

This is what I'd wanted from the configuration.

des_a · 11-28-2023, 11:43 PM

Now everything on the list that's supposed to work, does, EXCEPT for shelp.sh. I'll take another look at it tommorrow. I don't know whether I'm stuck for now on it or not. I had NO earlier versions, except maybe in very recent stuff, which I lost. I had it working, but I lost it. I don't know how I lost the file, but I did. When I get this much complete, I will move onto the next step of making sure that's all the standard scripts I need for now. If it is NOT all, I will have to start writing them from scratch.

des_a · 11-30-2023, 12:32 PM

So now, shelp works. Everything on the list works now. I thought shelp was working before, and I think it was. However, appearently, an update broke my script shelp.sh. I'd had the custom help section triggered by the character '?', and now, that doesn't work. So I made it triggered by '-', instead. I know on the shell, '?', is a wildcard, but for that command, I didn't want to use it so. I like my changes, so I'll keep it. But does anybody know whether there was a way to keep it? I don't know if anybody knows or not. If that question can be answered great! If not, no big deal. The priority is to get my standard scripts working.

I have everything now working, but I have just a few more specifications for the standard scripts. As I need help, I will ask for it here. I think that's the extent to which the old code will be capable of being used. It came from servers which I haven't took down yet. I'd had some older versions of them, to use. I didn't have it organized on my NAS, so I had to pull it from actual production, IE; /bin on that system, and retype it into the NAS production.

You can disable expansion of the ? (and other globbing options) using the -f option, but how it works may depend on how your script is invoked. For example, if your script is invoked by another for which globbing characters have already been expanded it is too late! And obviously, if your script depends on globbing for its operation then it may break in other ways.

But any of these should work within the script itself for the simple case:

Code:

Add option to the shebang line...

#!/bin/bash -f

Use set at top of script...

set -f
    or
set -o noglob

You may also disable globbing from the parent shell by invoking shelp.sh like this:

Code:

set -f; ./shelp.sh ?

See man bash and experiment based on your exact use case.
