@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

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.
