simple bash script in Linux

[mshemuni]

Why he typed on top "#!/bin/sh" for bash scripting.

I think "#!/bin/bash" is correct line for bash scripting.

[keyzoner]

@mshemuni

#! is sha-bang symbol

/bin/sh is the (absolute) path to the interpreter program

renders the script portable to non-Linux machines, though you sacrifice Bash-specific features

[REPODONE]

in backtrack u can just run a bla.sh without chmod RIGHT???

[daeheadshot]

@REPODONE if you have run permissions to it then you can run it.

seriously people, learn to crawl before you try to run(learn basic linux before trying to be leethaxor).

Just wondering why u don't use the test command for if stmnt? I'm new to unix so just curious about a reason. Thx

[sirbobbyuk]

Had a look at my script again and found that i had space when their should'nt have been. when i run it again it worked fine..good vid and music.

Regards bob

[sirbobbyuk]

I did as you did with the scripting and i run it but it didn't execute the lynx. instead it exited with the the comment "there is nothing else to do" above that is 'G' cannot be found

@sirbobbyuk

Lynx is a program and not a command.

try to install it before you run it.

sudo apt-get install lynx

if you use redhat or fedora. install it with yum .

I use ubuntu and use apt.

[sirbobbyuk]

@peertop yep i have install lynx, but im getting an error message stating [:14: missing]. I have checked the script against what you wrote and there does not seem to be an erro.

[dreamworker777]

Cool, thanks for the video!

Hope you gonna post more :)

[saemsaem0kh4life]

nice stuff!

and awesome layout ;)

[RestlessKingGR]

is this BaSH script or just a typical shell script ?

I am asking this because at the "shebang" definition you type #!bin/sh instead of /bin/bash.

[TheNext2sin]

@RestlessKingGR  the # is a comment, the kernal does not read that line.

[Therockstar1986]

awesome !!!

[matt463]

can someone please tell em who made the very first one of these please tell me and ill sub to yuor channels

[HeadAcheVideos]

how you make a background image?

or what for a programm you use in the video?

the nano command?

or a diffrent programm

Please Answer So Fast It Go!! =)

greetz Headache videos =)

[5agaci]

It's probably transparent into the wallpaper

[HeadAcheVideos]

and how i can doe so a transparent effect?

[peertop]

OS = Ubuntu

Terminal = gnome terminal with transparenty on (look in the settings)

image = current wallpaper

nano = (terminal) texteditor

capture program = reccordmydesktop

So you have right, Its an debian system and lynx is an web browser for bash.

echo please select 1 or 2

read number

if [ "$number" = "1" ]; then echo "11111"

elif [ "$number" = "2" ]; then echo "22222"

else

echo you did not select 1 or 2

fi

[baryt989]

nice vid man...

[Z3r0XoL]

najs ;)

[chillbrotha01]

is this fedora?

[cdbitesky]

Hes running a Debian based linux distrobution, but it is irrelevant for any of this except for installing lynx. Sh and Nano are both standard on all Linux distrobutions

[peertop]

put in the end of if at the bottom on your script echo please select 1 or 2 read number if [ "$number" = "1" ]; then echo "11111" else if [ "$number" = "2" ]; then echo "22222" else echo you did not select 1 or 2 fi fi

[WalkingHD]

i was unable to get it to work, i did something similar to what you did im just making a simple case statement using a bunch of if statements, as follows: echo please select 1 or 2 read number if [ "$number" = "1" ]; then echo "11111" else if [ "$number" = "2" ]; then echo "22222" else echo you did not select 1 or 2 thanks for your help, im using backtrack3
