@penguinwrangler Good work! I admit I would have been to lazy to go through all that. I would just have written a program to deal with it straight up instead instead of trying to use nix commands and scripting. Anything to avoid "escape hell" as I like to call it.

@jaredbusch said in NextCloud Automated Installation: ok fixed and merge req 3 made to @scottalanmiller's repo. https://gitlab.com/scottalanmiller/nextcloud_fedora_installer/merge_requests/3 It is now merged.

@stacksofplates That's what i loked about it while reading on it.

@stacksofplates said in A script to pull updates from GH or use History: @DustinB3403 said in A script to pull updates from GH or use History: So to clarify here, the goal is to allow admins an easy way to pull the most current update script. Not to run it for them on a set schedule. (reason being is if we auto-force an update, and that update breaks their system, I don't want to have that on my mind) I don't understand the hangup here. The cron job I pasted above does not update anything. It doesn't run any scripts. It doesn't force anything. Where this is coming from I have no idea. This is from sidebar conversations regarding the topic. It has nothing to do with the cron job you posted.

I guess I could do a wildcard at the beginning and end of whatever I'm searching for with killall but that freaks me out a little. I could accidentally do a lot of damage with that.

Before this script will run properly, you have to use curl and a valid account to acquire a cookie to pass with the script, as well.

@thwr Thanks

@scottalanmiller said: Best practice, which almost no one follows, is to use explicit paths in scripts rather than implicit. then you don't need that at all. I guess that makes 100% sense since you have to start the script with an absolute path ha.

And here is a sample output: ./counter.sh five six four three two one seven twenty onehundred eleven ten do a deer a female deer and that is how the cookie crumbles and i am pretty sure that you will find that this is a really useful bash script no matter how many things that you want to pass into its parameter fields 1 letters: 4 2 letters: 6 3 letters: 12 4 letters: 17 5 letters: 2 6 letters: 11 8 letters: 1 9 letters: 1 10 letters: 1

Looks like a good place for me to start.. I've been searching for commands to perform tasks, and sadly search again for them since I don't remember them.

Like this... cat > observium.conf <<'_EOF' <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /opt/observium/html/ ServerName observium.domain.com CustomLog /opt/observium/logs/access_log combined ErrorLog /opt/observium/logs/error_log <Directory "/opt/observium/html/"> AllowOverride All Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews Require all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost> _EOF

BASH version... bash --version GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin14) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Good night.

I've done this in the past, though without looking it up I couldn't tell you how.

I am a big believe in BASH. It's still my go to tool for most scripting in UNIX. It is everywhere, which makes a big difference. People used to use Perl because it was so ubiquitous. But on current systems it is Python that I see more commonly. Node.js, Ruby and Go are out there a lot too. The one thing that you can almost always count on is BASH. It's simple, it's standard and it is really fast to do simple things.

Thanks for the pointer. Something that I've wanted to look at but not known where to start

@Alexis Another reason I like single quotes for my strings, less escape confusion
