I'm using xubuntu with xfc4, for pure fun I tried to make a script which allows me to put a gif as a desktop wallpaper because this is not a default feature in xfce4.
I've already made a script which seem to work pretty fine excepted that the CPU get in a great trouble with it. So is there a way to optimize this code to do the same thing but stay friend with my CPU?
BG_GIF=/home/grasteau/Pictures/walpapper.gif
DURATION=$(exiftool -Duration walpapper.gif | sed 's/ //g' | sed 's/Duration://g' | sed 's/s//g')
PATH_IMAGE=/
mkdir -p /dev/shm/background
rm -f /dev/shm/background/*
gm convert $BG_GIF +adjoin /dev/shm/background/target%d.png
NUMBER_OF_FRAME=$(bc <<< "$(ls -1 /dev/shm/background | wc -l) - 1")
DELAY=$(bc <<< "scale=3; $DURATION/$NUMBER_OF_FRAME")
while true
do
for i in $(seq 0 $NUMBER_OF_FRAME);
do
PATH_IMAGE="/dev/shm/background/target$i.png"
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -l | grep "last-image$" | while read -r line
do
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p $line -s $PATH_IMAGE
done
sleep $DELAY
done

I want to set highest I/O priority using ionice for processes with specific name (farmer and harvest)
Please help check what is wrong with my script it's not working
sudo ionice -c 1 -n 0 -p $(ps -ef | grep farmer | awk '{print $2}')
sudo ionice -c 1 -n 0 -p $(ps -ef | grep harvest | awk '{print $2}')
I got the error "ionice: ioprio_set failed: No such process" even though these processes exist
Use pgrep.
sudo ionice -c 1 -n 0 -p $(pgrep farmer)
sudo ionice -c 1 -n 0 -p $(pgrep harvest)
Problem description:
I want to print only the source and destination address from a tcpdump[1].
Have one working solution, but believe it could be improved a lot. An example that captures 5 packets, just as an example of what I'm looking for:
tcpdump -i eth1 -n -c 5 ip | \
cut -d" " -f3,5 | \
sed -e 's/^\([0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\)\..* \([0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\).*$/\1 > \2/'
Question:
Can this be done in any easier way? Performance is also an issue here.
[1] A part of a test if the snort home_net is correctly defined, or if we see traffic not defined in the home_net.
Solution:
Ok, thanks to everyone who have replied to this one. There have been two concerns related to the answers, one is the compatibility across different linux-versions and the second one is speed.
Here is the results on the speed test I did. First the grep-version:
time tcpdump -l -r test.dmp -n ip 2>/dev/null | grep -P -o '([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*? > ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)' | grep -P -o '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' | xargs -n 2 echo >/dev/null
real 0m5.625s
user 0m0.513s
sys 0m4.305s
Then the sed-version:
time tcpdump -n -r test.dmp ip | sed -une 's/^.* \(\([0-9]\{1,3\}\.\?\)\{4\}\)\..* \(\([0-9]\{1,3\}\.\?\)\{4\}\)\..*$/\1 > \3/p' >/dev/null
reading from file test.dmp, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet)
real 0m0.491s
user 0m0.496s
sys 0m0.020s
And the fastest one, the awk-version:
time tcpdump -l -r test.dmp -n ip | awk '{ print gensub(/(.*)\..*/,"\\1","g",$3), $4, gensub(/(.*)\..*/,"\\1","g",$5) }' >/dev/null
reading from file test.dmp, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet)
real 0m0.093s
user 0m0.111s
sys 0m0.013s
Unfortunately I have not been able to test how compatible they are, but the awk needs gnu awk to work due to the gensub function. Anyway, all three solutions works on the two platforms I have tested them on. :)
Here's one way using GNU awk:
tcpdump -i eth1 -n -c 5 ip | awk '{ print gensub(/(.*)\..*/,"\\1","g",$3), $4, gensub(/(.*)\..*/,"\\1","g",$5) }'
Try this:
tcpdump -i eth1 -n -c 5 ip 2>/dev/null | sed -r 's/.* ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+).* > ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*/\1 > \2/'
If running from a .sh script, remember to escape \1 & \2 as required.
Warning You have to use unbuffered ou line-buffered output to monitor the output of another command like tcpdump.
But you command seem correct.
To simplify, you could:
tcpdump -i eth1 -n -c 5 ip |
sed -une 's/^.* \(\([0-9]\{1,3\}\.\?\)\{4\}\)\..* \(\([0-9]\{1,3\}\.\?\)\{4\}\)\..*$/\1 > \3/p'
Notice the u switch usefull without -c 5 at tcpdump
tcpdump -ni eth1 ip |
sed -une 's/^.* \(\([0-9]\{1,3\}\.\?\)\{4\}\)\..* \(\([0-9]\{1,3\}\.\?\)\{4\}\)\..*$/\1 > \3/p'
& here is a grep only solution:
tcpdump -l -i eth1 -n -c 5 ip 2>/dev/null | grep -P -o '([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+).*? > ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)' | grep -P -o '[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' | xargs -n 2 echo
Note -l, in case you don't want to limit the number of packets using -c.
I need to execute the following grep query as an argument for konsole (the kde terminal)
grep -R -i -n -A 2 -B 2 --color=always -R "searchtext" * | less -R
works for the current terminal.
konsole --workdir `pwd` -e grep -R -i -n -A 2 -B 2 --color=always -R "searchtext" * | less -R
works, but the konsole window displays the grep query without less pipe.
Ideally I want konsole to spawn as seperate process with konsole &
and send the grep command with less as an argument for konsole -e
You need to run the pipe in a shell.
konsole --workdir pwd -e bash -c 'grep -R -i -n -A 2 -B 2 --color=always -R "searchtext" * | less -R'
Is it possible to Wget a page's title from the command line?
input:
$ wget http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 <<code>>
output:
If it’s broke, fix it right - Keeping it Real Estate. Home
This script would give you what you need:
wget --quiet -O - http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 \
| sed -n -e 's!.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*!\1!p'
But there are lots of situations where it breaks, including if there is a <title>...</title> in the body of the page, or if the title is on more than one line.
This might be a little better:
wget --quiet -O - http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 \
| paste -s -d " " \
| sed -e 's!.*<head>\(.*\)</head>.*!\1!' \
| sed -e 's!.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*!\1!'
but it does not fit your case as your page contains the following head opening:
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
Again, this might be better:
wget --quiet -O - http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 \
| paste -s -d " " \
| sed -e 's!.*<head[^>]*>\(.*\)</head>.*!\1!' \
| sed -e 's!.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*!\1!'
but there is still ways to break it, including no head/title in the page.
Again, a better solution might be:
wget --quiet -O - http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 \
| paste -s -d " " \
| sed -n -e 's!.*<head[^>]*>\(.*\)</head>.*!\1!p' \
| sed -n -e 's!.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*!\1!p'
but I am sure we can find a way to break it. This is why a true xml parser is the right solution, but as your question is tagged shell, the above it the best I can come with.
The paste and the 2 sed can be merged in a single sed, but is less readable. However, this version has the advantage of working on multi-line titles:
wget --quiet -O - http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 \
| sed -n -e 'H;${x;s!.*<head[^>]*>\(.*\)</head>.*!\1!;T;s!.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*!\1!p}'
Update:
As explain in the comments, the last sed above uses the T command which is a GNU extension. If you do not have a compatible version, you can use:
wget --quiet -O - http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 \
| sed -n -e 'H;${x;s!.*<head[^>]*>\(.*\)</head>.*!\1!;tnext;b;:next;s!.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*!\1!p}'
Update 2:
As above still not working on Mac, try:
wget --quiet -O - http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 \
| sed -n -e 'H;${x;s!.*<head[^>]*>\(.*\)</head>.*!\1!;tnext};b;:next;s!.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*!\1!p'
and/or
cat << EOF > script
H
\$x
\$s!.*<head[^>]*>\(.*\)</head>.*!\1!
\$tnext
b
:next
s!.*<title>\(.*\)</title>.*!\1!p
EOF
wget --quiet -O - http://bit.ly/rQyhG5 \
| sed -n -f script
(Note the \ before the $ to avoid variable expansion.)
It seams that the :next does not like to be prefixed by a $, which could be a problem in some sed version.
The following will pull whatever lynx thinks the title of the page is, saving you from all of the regex nonsense. Assuming the page you are retrieving is standards compliant enough for lynx, this should not break.
lynx -dump example.com | sed '2q;d'
I've found that it's quite powerful to create long pipelines in bash scripts, but the main drawback that I see is that there doesn't seem to be a way to insert comments.
As an example, is there a good way to add comments to this script?
#find all my VNC sessions
ls -t $HOME/.vnc/*.pid \
| xargs -n1 \
| sed 's|\.pid$||; s|^.*\.vnc/||g' \
| xargs -P50 --replace vncconfig -display {} -get desktop \
| grep "($USER)" \
| awk '{print $1}' \
| xargs -n1 xdpyinfo -display \
| egrep "^name|dimensions|depths"
Let the pipe be the last character of each line and use # instead of \, like this:
ls -t $HOME/.vnc/*.pid | #comment here
xargs -n1 | #another comment
...
This works too:
# comment here
ls -t $HOME/.vnc/*.pid |
#comment here
xargs -n1 |
#another comment
...
based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/5100821/1019205.
it comes down to s/|//;s!\!|!.
Unless they're spectacularly long pipelines, you don't have to comment inline, just comment at the top:
# Find all my VNC sessions.
# xargs does something.
# sed does something else
# the second xargs destroys the universe.
# :
# and so on.
ls -t $HOME/.vnc/*.pid \
| xargs -n1 \
| sed 's|\.pid$||; s|^.*\.vnc/||g' \
| xargs -P50 --replace /opt/tools/bin/restrict_resources -T1 \
-- vncconfig -display {} -get desktop 2>/dev/null \
| grep "($USER)" \
| awk '{print $1}' \
| xargs -n1 xdpyinfo -display \
| egrep "^name|dimensions|depths"
As long as comments are relatively localised, it's fine. So I wouldn't put them at the top of the file (unless your pipeline was the first thing in the file, of course) or scribbled down on toilet paper and locked in your desk at work.
But the first thing I do when looking at a block is to look for comments immediately preceding the block. Even in C code, I don't comment every line, since the intent of comments is to mostly show the why and a high-level how.
#!/bin/bash
for pid in $HOME/.vnc/*.pid; do
tmp=${pid##*/}
disp=${tmp%.*}
xdpyinfo -display "$disp" | # commment here
egrep "^name|dimensions|depths"
done
I don't understand the need for vncconfig if all it does is append '(user)' which you subsequently remove for the call to xdpyinfo. Also, all those pipes take quite a bit of overhead, if you time your script vs mine I think you'll find the performance comparable if not faster.
