Axys 3.0 Report Writing Language - reporting

Just started a new job and have to use this very difficult and outdated reporting software Axys. This thing doesn't even use a database, it's based on a flat file system.
Anyway I've been asked to adjust a few reports in Axys but haven't got a clue were to start. The Report Writing Language is like an amalgamation of (php, java, and cobalt) and not very nice to look at let alone make any scene of.
Was wondering if anyone here has any experience of this reporting soft ware as there isn't much documentation out there on it.
I just have to add in a few subtotal areas etc.
Here's a sample of the code to show you what I mean:

I have found that the best way to understand Advent's replang is to generate/modify a new/existing report with the Report Writer (repwiz32.exe) and analyze the diff between the old & new files. The language is more like perl than anything else.
Here's the link to the latest ('14.2) Rep Lang PDF: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h17kpk86nuld16a/AdventReplang14.2.pdf?dl=0
Good luck.

spring boot with ElasticSearch in docker

I am trying to connect my Spring boot micro services to an ElasticSearch service running in docker. due to the massive change in ElasticSearch in 8.x, I am not finding any relevant, but I did find a good docker-compose.xml example that does NOT contain Logstash, but does have multinode Elasticsearch and Kibana. I am able to docker compose up and log in with the password stored in the .env file. So far so good....but now I don't know how to get my Spring Boot 2.7 services to push logging statements to ElasticSearch so I can view them in Kibana.
Here is my docker-compose:

exit 1;

I tried adding Logstash to this, but it fails because port 5000 seems to be allocated. And, from what I can tell its not needed explictly anymore?
My question is, I have this available on http://localhost:5601 but I could really use some help on how to get my logging output to ElasticSearch. I am using pretty standard Spring Boot configuration. Naturally this will eventually be cloud deployed, so ideally a solution for both local and AWS can be found.

Minimal web server using netcat

I'm trying to set up a minimal web server using netcat (nc). When the browser calls up localhost:1500, for instance, it should show the result of a function (date in the example below, but eventually it'll be a python or c program that yields some data).
My little netcat web server needs to be a while true loop in bash, possibly as simple as this:
while true ; do echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n $(date)" | nc -l -p 1500 ; done
When I try this the browser shows the currently available data during the moment when nc starts. I want the browser displays the data during the moment the browser requests it, though. How can I achieve this?
Try this:
while true ; do nc -l -p 1500 -c 'echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n $(date)"'; done
The -cmakes netcat execute the given command in a shell, so you can use echo. If you don't need echo, use -e. For further information on this, try man nc. Note, that when using echo there is no way for your program (the date-replacement) to get the browser request. So you probably finally want to do something like this:
while true ; do nc -l -p 1500 -e /path/to/yourprogram ; done
Where yourprogram must do the protocol stuff like handling GET, sending HTTP 200 etc.
I had the problem where I wanted to return the result of executing a bash command:
$ while true; do { echo -e 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n'; sh test; } | nc -l 8080; done
NOTE:
This command was taken from: http://www.razvantudorica.com/08/web-server-in-one-line-of-bash
This executes a bash script and returns the result to a browser client connecting to the server running this command on port 8080.
My script does this:
$ nano test
#!/bin/bash
echo "************PRINT SOME TEXT***************\n"
echo "Hello World!!!"
echo "\n"
echo "Resources:"
vmstat -S M
echo "\n"
echo "Addresses:"
echo "$(ifconfig)"
echo "\n"
echo "$(gpio readall)"
and my web browser is showing
************PRINT SOME TEXT***************

Add -q 1 to the netcat command line:
while true; do
echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n $(date)" | nc -l -p 1500 -q 1
done
The problem you are facing is that nc does not know when the web client is done with its request so it can respond to the request.
A web session should go something like this.
TCP session is established.
Browser Request Header: GET / HTTP/1.1
Browser Request Header: Host: www.google.com
Browser Request Header: \n #Note: Browser is telling Webserver that the request header is complete.
Server Response Header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server Response Header: Content-Type: text/html
Server Response Header: Content-Length: 24
Server Response Header: \n #Note: Webserver is telling browser that response header is complete
Server Message Body: <html>sample html</html>
Server Message Body: \n #Note: Webserver is telling the browser that the requested resource is finished.
The server closes the TCP session.
Lines that begin with "\n" are simply empty lines without even a space and contain nothing more than a new line character.
I have my bash httpd launched by xinetd, xinetd tutorial. It also logs date, time, browser IP address, and the entire browser request to a log file, and calculates Content-Length for the Server header response.
user#machine:/usr/local/bin# cat ./bash_httpd
#!/bin/bash
x=0;
Log=$( echo -n "["$(date "+%F %T %Z")"] $REMOTE_HOST ")$(
while read I[$x] && [ ${#I[$x]} -gt 1 ];do
echo -n '"'${I[$x]} | sed -e's,.$,",'; let "x = $x + 1";
done ;
); echo $Log >> /var/log/bash_httpd
Message_Body=$(echo -en '<html>Sample html</html>')
echo -en "HTTP/1.0 200 OK\nContent-Type: text/html\nContent-Length: ${#Message_Body}\n\n$Message_Body"
To add more functionality, you could incorporate.
METHOD=$(echo ${I[0]} |cut -d" " -f1)
REQUEST=$(echo ${I[0]} |cut -d" " -f2)
HTTP_VERSION=$(echo ${I[0]} |cut -d" " -f3)
If METHOD = "GET" ]; then
case "$REQUEST" in
"/") Message_Body="HTML formatted home page stuff"
;;
/who) Message_Body="HTML formatted results of who"
;;
/ps) Message_Body="HTML formatted results of ps"
;;
*) Message_Body= "Error Page not found header and content"
;;

Happy bashing!
Another way to do this
while true; do (echo -e 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n'; echo -e "\n\tMy website has date function" ; echo -e "\t$(date)\n") | nc -lp 8080; done
Let's test it with 2 HTTP request using curl
In this example, 172.16.2.6 is the server IP Address.
Server Side
admin#server:~$ while true; do (echo -e 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n'; echo -e "\n\tMy website has date function" ; echo -e "\t$(date)\n") | nc -lp 8080; done
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: 172.16.2.6:8080 User-Agent: curl/7.48.0 Accept:
*/*
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: 172.16.2.6:8080 User-Agent: curl/7.48.0 Accept:
*/*
Client Side
user#client:~$ curl 172.16.2.6:8080
My website has date function
Tue Jun 13 18:00:19 UTC 2017
user#client:~$ curl 172.16.2.6:8080
My website has date function
Tue Jun 13 18:00:24 UTC 2017
user#client:~$
If you want to execute another command, feel free to replace $(date).
I had the same need/problem but nothing here worked for me (or I didn't understand everything), so this is my solution.
I post my minimal_http_server.sh (working with my /bin/bash (4.3.11) but not /bin/sh because of the redirection):
rm -f out
mkfifo out
trap "rm -f out" EXIT
while true
do
cat out | nc -l 1500 > >( # parse the netcat output, to build the answer redirected to the pipe "out".
export REQUEST=
while read -r line
do
line=$(echo "$line" | tr -d '\r\n')
if echo "$line" | grep -qE '^GET /' # if line starts with "GET /"
then
REQUEST=$(echo "$line" | cut -d ' ' -f2) # extract the request
elif [ -z "$line" ] # empty line / end of request
then
# call a script here
# Note: REQUEST is exported, so the script can parse it (to answer 200/403/404 status code + content)
./a_script.sh > out
fi
done
)
done
And my a_script.sh (with your need):
#!/bin/bash
echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r"
echo "Content-type: text/html"
echo
date
mkfifo pipe;
while true ;
do
#use read line from pipe to make it blocks before request comes in,
#this is the key.
{ read line<pipe;echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n";echo $(date);
} | nc -l -q 0 -p 8080 > pipe;
done
Here is a beauty of a little bash webserver, I found it online and forked a copy and spruced it up a bit - it uses socat or netcat I have tested it with socat -- it is self-contained in one-script and generates its own configuration file and favicon.
By default it will start up as a web enabled file browser yet is easily configured by the configuration file for any logic. For files it streams images and music (mp3's), video (mp4's, avi, etc) -- I have tested streaming various file types to Linux,Windows and Android devices including a smartwatch!
I think it streams better than VLC actually. I have found it useful for transferring files to remote clients who have no access beyond a web browser e.g. Android smartwatch without needing to worry about physically connecting to a USB port.
If you want to try it out just copy and paste it to a file named bashttpd, then start it up on the host with $> bashttpd -s
Then you can go to any other computer (presuming the firewall is not blocking inbound tcp connections to port 8080 -- the default port, you can change the port to whatever you want using the global variables at the top of the script). http://bashttpd_server_ip:8080

### Original author: Avleen Vig, 2012
### Reworked by: Josh Cartwright, 2012
### Modified by: A.M.Danischewski, 2015
### Issues: If you find any issues leave me a comment at
### http://scriptsandoneliners.blogspot.com/2015/04/bashttpd-self-contained-bash-webserver.html
###
### This is a simple Bash based webserver. By default it will browse files and allows for
### retrieving binary files.
###
### It has been tested successfully to view and stream files including images, mp3s,
### mp4s and downloading files of any type including binary and compressed files via
### any web browser.
###
### Successfully tested on various browsers on Windows, Linux and Android devices (including the
### Android Smartwatch ZGPAX S8).
###
### It handles favicon requests by hardcoded favicon image -- by default a marathon
### runner; change it to whatever you want! By base64 encoding your favorit favicon
### and changing the global variable below this header.
###
### Make sure if you have a firewall it allows connections to the port you plan to
### listen on (8080 by default).
###
### By default this program will allow for the browsing of files from the
### computer where it is run.
###
### Make sure you are allowed connections to the port you plan to listen on
### (8080 by default). Then just drop it on a host machine (that has bash)
### and start it up like this:
###
### $192.168.1.101> bashttpd -s
###
### On the remote machine you should be able to browse and download files from the host
### server via any web browser by visiting:
###
### http://192.168.1.101:8080
###
#### This program requires (to work to full capacity) by default:
### socat or netcat (w/ '-e' option - on Ubuntu netcat-traditional)
### tree - useful for pretty directory listings
### If you are using socat, you can type: bashttpd -s
###
### to start listening on the LISTEN_PORT (default is 8080), you can change
### the port below.
### E.g. nc -lp 8080 -e ./bashttpd ## <-- If your nc has the -e option.
### E.g. nc.traditional -lp 8080 -e ./bashttpd
### E.g. bashttpd -s -or- socat TCP4-LISTEN:8080,fork EXEC:bashttpd

#
# bashttpd.conf - configuration for bashttpd
#
# The behavior of bashttpd is dictated by the evaluation
# of rules specified in this configuration file. Each rule
# is evaluated until one is matched. If no rule is matched,
# bashttpd will serve a 500 Internal Server Error.
#
# The format of the rules are:
# on_uri_match REGEX command [args]
# unconditionally command [args]
#
# on_uri_match:
# On an incoming request, the URI is checked against the specified
# (bash-supported extended) regular expression, and if encounters a match the
# specified command is executed with the specified arguments.
#
# For additional flexibility, on_uri_match will also pass the results of the
# regular expression match, ${BASH_REMATCH[#]} as additional arguments to the
# command.
#
# unconditionally:
# Always serve via the specified command. Useful for catchall rules.
#
# The following commands are available for use:
#
# serve_file FILE
# Statically serves a single file.
#
# serve_dir_with_tree DIRECTORY
# Statically serves the specified directory using 'tree'. It must be
# installed and in the PATH.
#
# serve_dir_with_ls DIRECTORY
# Statically serves the specified directory using 'ls -al'.
#
# serve_dir DIRECTORY
# Statically serves a single directory listing. Will use 'tree' if it is
# installed and in the PATH, otherwise, 'ls -al'
#
# serve_dir_or_file_from DIRECTORY
# Serves either a directory listing (using serve_dir) or a file (using
# serve_file). Constructs local path by appending the specified root
# directory, and the URI portion of the client request.
#
# serve_static_string STRING
# Serves the specified static string with Content-Type text/plain.
#
# Examples of rules:
#
# on_uri_match '^/issue$' serve_file "/etc/issue"
#
# When a client's requested URI matches the string '/issue', serve them the
# contents of /etc/issue
#
# on_uri_match 'root' serve_dir /
#
# When a client's requested URI has the word 'root' in it, serve up
# a directory listing of /
#
# DOCROOT=/var/www/html
# on_uri_match '/(.*)' serve_dir_or_file_from "$DOCROOT"
# When any URI request is made, attempt to serve a directory listing
# or file content based on the request URI, by mapping URI's to local
# paths relative to the specified "$DOCROOT"
#
#unconditionally serve_static_string 'Hello, world! You can configure bashttpd by modifying bashttpd.conf.'
DOCROOT=/
on_uri_match '/(.*)' serve_dir_or_file_from
# More about commands:
#
# It is possible to somewhat easily write your own commands. An example
# may help. The following example will serve "Hello, $x!" whenever
# a client sends a request with the URI /say_hello_to/$x:
#
# serve_hello() {
# add_response_header "Content-Type" "text/plain"
# send_response_ok_exit <<< "Hello, $2!"
# }
# on_uri_match '^/say_hello_to/(.*)$' serve_hello
#
# Like mentioned before, the contents of ${BASH_REMATCH[#]} are passed
# to your command, so its possible to use regular expression groups
# to pull out info.
#
# With this example, when the requested URI is /say_hello_to/Josh, serve_hello
# is invoked with the arguments '/say_hello_to/Josh' 'Josh',
# (${BASH_REMATCH[0]} is always the full match)

LOL, a super lame hack, but at least curl and firefox accepts it:
while true ; do (dd if=/dev/zero count=10000;echo -e "HTTP/1.1\n\n $(date)") | nc -l 1500 ; done
You better replace it soon with something proper!
Ah yes, my nc were not exactly the same as yours, it did not like the -p option.
If you're using Apline Linux, the BusyBox netcat is slightly different:
while true; do nc -l -p 8080 -e sh -c 'echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n$(date)"'; done
And another way using printf:
while true; do nc -l -p 8080 -e sh -c "printf 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n%s' \"$(date)\""; done
while true; do (echo -e 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nConnection: close\r\n';) | timeout 1 nc -lp 8080 ; done
Closes connection after 1 sec, so curl doesn't hang on it.
Type in nc -h and see if You have -e option available. If yes, You can create a script, for example:
script.sh
echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n $(date)"
and run it like this:
while true ; do nc -l -p 1500 -e script.sh; done
Note that -e option needs to be enabled at compilation to be available.
I think the problem that all the solution listed doesn't work, is intrinsic in the nature of http service, the every request established is with a different client and the response need to be processed in a different context, every request must fork a new instance of response...
The current solution I think is the -e of netcat but I don't know why doesn't work... maybe is my nc version that I test on openwrt...
with socat it works....
I try this https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd
and it works, but I must run the shell script with this command.
socat tcp-l:80,reuseaddr,fork EXEC:bashttpd &
The socat and netcat samples on github doesn't works for me, but the socat that I used works.
Actually, the best way to close gracefully the connection is to send the Content-Length header like following. Client (like curl will close the connection after receiving the data.
DATA="Date: $(date)";
LENGTH=$(echo $DATA | wc -c);
echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\nContent-Length: ${LENGTH}\n\n${DATA}" | nc -l -p 8000;
On OSX you can use :
while true; do echo -e "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n $(date)" | nc -l localhost 1500 ; done

rsync complex filter

I was an Unison fan but I need more complicated filters to back up my laptop.
After hours of trying I obtained for the most part what I want; this is my situation:
This is my bash script:
#!/bin/sh
rsync -aHAXzhv --dry-run \
--progress \
--stats \
--delete \
--prune-empty-dirs \
--filter="merge filter" \
/ /media/mypassport/laptop/
and this is my filter:
+ etc
+ etc/apache2
+ etc/apache2/sites-available
+ etc/apache2/sites-available/*
+ home
+ home/ale
+ home/ale/*
+ home/ale/.filezilla/*
+ home/ale/.emacs.d/*
+ home/ale/.evolution/*
+ home/ale/.mozilla/*
+ home/ale/.ssh/*
+ home/ale/.subversion/*
+ home/ale/.unison/*
+ root
+ root/*
+ root/.c/*
+ usr/
+ usr/local/
+ usr/local/*
+ var/
+ var/www
+ var/www/*
+ *.git/***
+ *.svn/***
+ *.cvs/***
- etc/*
- etc/apache2/*
- home/ale/.** # this exclude hidden folder in ale's home
- var/*
- root/.**
- lib64
- initrd.img.old
- initrd.img
- vmlinuz
- vmlinuz.old
- *~
- .*~
- *.o
- *.tmp
- .*
- */
I would like to be able to exclude ALL hidden files in home folderS and include just few of them in this way:
+ home/*/.bashrc
- home/*/.*
but it does not work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards
Thank you

Notepad++ vertical block select copy paste not retained across clips

I'm using Notepad++ to vertically select and copy blocks of text. Pasting the latest block of text (that is currently in the clipboard buffer) works fine, however going back to the second and third previous clipboard buffers (which were originally copied as blocks) does not paste these other buffers as blocks, but rather as a first line followed by newline, second line newline, etc, etc.
For example, suppose I block copy the following block
test
test
test
The latest clipboard buffer pastes as
test
test
test
assuming the cursor is 4 spaces indented.
However, if the latest clipboard buffer is moved to the second place in the clipboard buffer queue, I get the following paste:
test
test
test
I'm using ClipMate to store previous clipboard buffers.
Why does notepad++ know to block-paste the latest clipboard text data (copied as a block) but not the second to last clipboard buffer?
Is there a way to store a clipboard clips' block state?
It looks like Notepad++ is pasting from an internal buffer, and not taking the data from the clipboard. There IS a private data format called MSDEVColumnSelect, but if I try to force ClipMate to capture it, the data is empty. So this seems to be a case where the application is playing smoke-and-mirrors games with copy/paste, and it's not really a clipboard feature at all.
I've written a solution using the Python Script Scintilla wrapper notepad++ plugin.
Use this for copy.

BASH/shell script, blkid fails with newlines in drive labels

I have a BASH/shell script, running on Linux, but it sometimes has a problem getting the drive labels, using blkid.. blkid gets the drive labels nad UUIDs of the given drive.
Example of blkid output:
# blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: LABEL="Home" UUID="f1e5e82b-1c75-4fd7-8841-6ad766152dcf" TYPE="ext2"
The problem occurs when the drive label has a newline character... I have included the relevant function. The problem seems to be with the eval command.. Can someone help me?
blkid_name_generator() {
#Gather blkid output and filter out required device
if [ ! -f /tmp/blkid.txt ]; then
blkid -c /dev/null > /tmp/blkid.txt
fi
blkid_cleaner &
LABEL=""
LABEL1=""
eval $( cat /tmp/blkid.txt | grep "$#:" | cut --delimiter=" " -f 2- | sed -e 's/ /;/g')
LABEL1=${LABEL//;/ } # akita beta4 fix: remove newlines below
LABEL=`echo $LABEL1 | tr -d '\n'` # akita beta5 fix, remove newlines from drive label
#Generate drive label
[ "$LABEL" = "" ] && ONEDRVLABEL="$#\n \n " || ONEDRVLABEL="${LABEL}\n($#)\n "
echo "${LABEL}" and "${ONEDRVLABEL}"
}
blkid_name_generator /dev/sda1
Here's my bash snippet:
while read curline; do
if [[ ${curline:0:1} == "/" ]]; then
[[ $prevline ]] && echo "$prevline"
prevline="$curline"
else
prevline+="$curline"
fi
done < $INPUTFILE
[[ $prevline ]] && echo "$prevline"
Here's my test file:
/dev/sda1: LABEL="Boot" UUID="fdc5e51d-3da6-4edf-bf07-6397b1765797" TYPE="ext2"

Here's my test file after processed by the bash snippet:

Hope this helps!
I don't see exactly what your script is intending to do (apart from the missing bits).
Here's what I came up with:
blkid | perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if m/LABEL="(.*?)"/o'
It will show this (on my system):
test^J123
WIN7VIRT
TEMP
Note how the newline in the label is depicted as ^J ? Viewing through a hex encoder shows that it is indeed a two-character combination 0x5e 0x4a
Hope you can get some further with that.
PS: 'proof' that the newline is in fact correctly in the volume label
tune2fs /dev/sdc1 -l

Thanks to this question... I could find a solution for another problem. Example (sda2 = ntfs partition):
blkid /dev/sda2
Segmentation Fault (core dump)
Hard to find troubleshooting guide for this issue (ubuntu based OS or any other)
The reason behind is a malformed LABEL in NTFS partition.
(of course, mal-formation we cant see, as newlines ;-)
Solution: Clear LABEL with GParted; then rewrite it or set a new LABEL.
