I have a file named syscheck.sh in /system/0211/ and I want to rename it to checkone.sh.
How can I do it?
To do a rename in a bash script, you simply need to use the mv (move) command.
mv /system/0211/syscheck.sh /system/0211/checkone.sh
You can put this command inside a shell script myrenamescript.sh file like so:
#!/bin/bash
mv /system/0211/syscheck.sh /system/0211/checkone.sh
Now set the script as executable
chmod a+x myrenamescript.sh
Now you can run it:
./myrenamescript.sh

Hello awesome community i am using git bash to run this command: cp -r thisfolder thatfolder to copy the contents of a folder in another one
now i want to make a script out of this to create a scheduler to run that script and my script looks like this
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
IFS=$'\n\t
cp -r thisfolder thatfolder && echo done > debug.txt
#the debug.txt is just to know if the script copied stuff
its a .bat script and all folders and script are on the same directory but for some reason it doesnt copy the files as git bash does
any thoughts??
i'm building up in a bash script a tar command like this:
/usr/bin/tar -cvjf /tmp/archive.tar.bz2 -X excl.txt -C '/cygdrive/c/Users/Utente/dir with spaces/' dir1 dir2 dir2
/usr/bin/tar: '/cygdrive/c/Users/Utente/dir: Cannot open: No such file or directory
if i test the command in the shell it works fine.
if i run the script the script complains. i think that something fails when tar tries to change directory.
of course i can change directory in the script an then avoid the use of the -C option but i miss the opportunity to use the -X option.
I'm trying to make this bash script but get this: Error reading *.docx. The file doesn’t exist
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
textutil -convert txt *.docx
cat *.txt | wc -w
I'm currently running it from the folder but I'd like to make it a global script I can just call from any current folder.
If you want to make it available on your whole system you need to move it to a bin location like so
chmod a+rx yourscript.sh && sudo mv yourscript.sh /usr/local/bin/yourscript
then you can use it like a normal script in any folder
I have following command
mv 15827.png "$(<15827.png.txt)"
Which is moving the file 18827.png to the path specified in 15827.png.txt, and it is working fine.
But when I moved this command to shell script
#!/bin/bash
mv 15827.png "$(<15827.png.txt)"
I'm running it with:
sh myscript.sh
Its not working and I am getting following error:
mv: cannot move '15827.png' to '': No such file or directory
The file 15827.png.txt contains the digit 7 and there is folder named 7 in the current directory.
The problem is that you're running the script with sh, but it needs to be run with bash, because $(<filename) is a bash extension.
Make the script executable:
chmod 755 myscript.sh
and then run it with:
./myscript.sh
This will execute the script using the shell named in the #! line.
I've been creating mac shell executables with this method:
Create a file;
Add #!/bin/sh;
Add the script;
Run chmod 755 nameofscript.
I now need to create a shell script to create a shell script in another directory and make it executable (with chmod) so that it can be run on startup.
#!/bin/sh
dir=/tmp
fnam=someshellscript
echo '#!/bin/sh' > $dir/$fnam
echo 'find /bin -name "*X*"' >> $dir/$fnam
chmod 755 $dir/$fnam
#!/bin/sh
echo "script goes here!" > /path/to/place
chmod 755 /path/to/place
