# 2. Basic Shell Programming. | |
# 2.1. Variables. | |
varname=value # defines a variable | |
varname=value command # defines a variable to be in the environment of a particular subprocess | |
echo $varname # checks a variable's value | |
echo $$ # prints process ID of the current shell | |
echo $! # prints process ID of the most recently invoked background job | |
echo $? # displays the exit status of the last command | |
export VARNAME=value # defines an environment variable (will be available in subprocesses) | |
array[0] = val # several ways to define an array | |
array[1] = val | |
array[2] = val | |
array=([2]=val [0]=val [1]=val) | |
array(val val val) | |
${array[i]} # displays array's value for this index. If no index is supplied, array element 0 is assumed | |
${#array[i]} # to find out the length of any element in the array | |
${#array[@]} # to find out how many values there are in the array | |
# To iterate through an array | |
for i in "${array[@]}" | |
do echo $i $i | |
done | |
# Get the output of a command like ls as an array | |
array=($(ls)) # if "array" is already declared as an array then array=`ls` will also do the same thing | |
# Adding elements to array once its declared | |
declare -a MYARRAY | |
MYARRAY+=("A") | |
MYARRAY+=("B") | |
MYARRAY+=("C") | |
MYARRAY+=("D") | |
declare -a # the variables are treaded as arrays | |
declare -f # uses funtion names only | |
declare -F # displays function names without definitions | |
declare -i # the variables are treaded as integers | |
declare -r # makes the variables read-only | |
declare -x # marks the variables for export via the environment | |
${varname:-word} # if varname exists and isn't null, return its value; otherwise return word | |
${varname:=word} # if varname exists and isn't null, return its value; otherwise set it word and then return its value | |
${varname:?message} # if varname exists and isn't null, return its value; otherwise print varname, followed by message and abort the current command or script | |
${varname:+word} # if varname exists and isn't null, return word; otherwise return null | |
${varname:offset:length} # performs substring expansion. It returns the substring of $varname starting at offset and up to length characters | |
${variable#pattern} # if the pattern matches the beginning of the variable's value, delete the shortest part that matches and return the rest | |
${variable##pattern} # if the pattern matches the beginning of the variable's value, delete the longest part that matches and return the rest | |
${variable%pattern} # if the pattern matches the end of the variable's value, delete the shortest part that matches and return the rest | |
${variable%%pattern} # if the pattern matches the end of the variable's value, delete the longest part that matches and return the rest | |
${variable/pattern/string} # the longest match to pattern in variable is replaced by string. Only the first match is replaced | |
${variable//pattern/string} # the longest match to pattern in variable is replaced by string. All matches are replaced | |
${#varname} # returns the length of the value of the variable as a character string | |
*(patternlist) # matches zero or more occurences of the given patterns | |
+(patternlist) # matches one or more occurences of the given patterns | |
?(patternlist) # matches zero or one occurence of the given patterns | |
@(patternlist) # matches exactly one of the given patterns | |
!(patternlist) # matches anything except one of the given patterns | |
$(UNIX command) # command substitution: runs the command and returns standard output | |
# 2.2. Functions. | |
# The function refers to passed arguments by position (as if they were positional parameters), that is, $1, $2, and so forth. | |
# $@ is equal to "$1" "$2"... "$N", where N is the number of positional parameters. $# holds the number of positional parameters. | |
functname() { | |
shell commands | |
} | |
unset -f functname # deletes a function definition | |
declare -f # displays all defined functions in your login session | |
# 2.3. Flow Control. | |
statement1 && statement2 # and operator | |
statement1 || statement2 # or operator | |
-a # and operator inside a test conditional expression | |
-o # or operator inside a test conditional expression | |
str1=str2 # str1 matches str2 | |
str1!=str2 # str1 does not match str2 | |
str1<str2 # str1 is less than str2 | |
str1>str2 # str1 is greater than str2 | |
-n str1 # str1 is not null (has length greater than 0) | |
-z str1 # str1 is null (has length 0) | |
-a file # file exists | |
-d file # file exists and is a directory | |
-e file # file exists; same -a | |
-f file # file exists and is a regular file (i.e., not a directory or other special type of file) | |
-r file # you have read permission | |
-r file # file exists and is not empty | |
-w file # your have write permission | |
-x file # you have execute permission on file, or directory search permission if it is a directory | |
-N file # file was modified since it was last read | |
-O file # you own file | |
-G file # file's group ID matches yours (or one of yours, if you are in multiple groups) | |
file1 -nt file2 # file1 is newer than file2 | |
file1 -ot file2 # file1 is older than file2 | |
-lt # less than | |
-le # less than or equal | |
-eq # equal | |
-ge # greater than or equal | |
-gt # greater than | |
-ne # not equal | |

# 3. Command-Line Processing Cycle. | |
# The default order for command lookup is functions, followed by built-ins, with scripts and executables last. | |
# There are three built-ins that you can use to override this order: `command`, `builtin` and `enable`. | |
command # removes alias and function lookup. Only built-ins and commands found in the search path are executed | |
builtin # looks up only built-in commands, ignoring functions and commands found in PATH | |
enable # enables and disables shell built-ins | |
eval # takes arguments and run them through the command-line processing steps all over again | |
# 4. Input/Output Redirectors. | |
cmd1|cmd2 # pipe; takes standard output of cmd1 as standard input to cmd2 | |
> file # directs standard output to file | |
< file # takes standard input from file | |
>> file # directs standard output to file; append to file if it already exists | |
>|file # forces standard output to file even if noclobber is set | |
n>|file # forces output to file from file descriptor n even if noclobber is set | |
<> file # uses file as both standard input and standard output | |
n<>file # uses file as both input and output for file descriptor n | |
<<label # here-document | |
n>file # directs file descriptor n to file | |
n<file # takes file descriptor n from file | |
n>>file # directs file description n to file; append to file if it already exists | |
n>& # duplicates standard output to file descriptor n | |
n<& # duplicates standard input from file descriptor n | |
n>&m # file descriptor n is made to be a copy of the output file descriptor | |
n<&m # file descriptor n is made to be a copy of the input file descriptor | |
&>file # directs standard output and standard error to file | |
<&- # closes the standard input | |
>&- # closes the standard output | |
n>&- # closes the ouput from file descriptor n | |
n<&- # closes the input from file descripor n | |
# 5. Process Handling. | |
# To suspend a job, type CTRL+Z while it is running. You can also suspend a job with CTRL+Y. | |
# This is slightly different from CTRL+Z in that the process is only stopped when it attempts to read input from terminal. | |
# Of course, to interupt a job, type CTRL+C. | |
myCommand & # runs job in the background and prompts back the shell | |
jobs # lists all jobs (use with -l to see associated PID) | |
fg # brings a background job into the foreground | |
fg %+ # brings most recently invoked background job | |
fg %- # brings second most recently invoked background job | |
fg %N # brings job number N | |
fg %string # brings job whose command begins with string | |
fg %?string # brings job whose command contains string | |
kill -l # returns a list of all signals on the system, by name and number | |
kill PID # terminates process with specified PID | |
ps # prints a line of information about the current running login shell and any processes running under it | |
ps -a # selects all processes with a tty except session leaders | |
trap cmd sig1 sig2 # executes a command when a signal is received by the script | |
trap "" sig1 sig2 # ignores that signals | |
trap - sig1 sig2 # resets the action taken when the signal is received to the default | |
disown <PID|JID> # removes the process from the list of jobs | |
wait # waits until all background jobs have finished | |
# 6. Tips and Tricks. | |
# set an alias | |
cd; nano .bash_profile | |
> alias gentlenode='ssh admin@gentlenode.com -p 3404' # add your alias in .bash_profile | |
# to quickly go to a specific directory | |
cd; nano .bashrc | |
> shopt -s cdable_vars | |
> export websites="/Users/mac/Documents/websites" | |
source .bashrc | |
cd websites | |
# 7. Debugging Shell Programs. | |
bash -n scriptname # don't run commands; check for syntax errors only | |
set -o noexec # alternative (set option in script) | |
bash -v scriptname # echo commands before running them | |
set -o verbose # alternative (set option in script) | |
bash -x scriptname # echo commands after command-line processing | |
set -o xtrace # alternative (set option in script) | |
trap 'echo $varname' EXIT # useful when you want to print out the values of variables at the point that your script exits | |
function errtrap { | |
es=$? | |
echo "ERROR line $1: Command exited with status $es." | |
} | |
trap 'errtrap $LINENO' ERR # is run whenever a command in the surrounding script or function exists with non-zero status | |
function dbgtrap { | |
echo "badvar is $badvar" | |
} | |
trap dbgtrap DEBUG # causes the trap code to be executed before every statement in a function or script | |
# ...section of code in which the problem occurs... | |
trap - DEBUG # turn off the DEBUG trap | |
function returntrap { | |
echo "A return occured" | |
} | |
trap returntrap RETURN # is executed each time a shell function or a script executed with the . or source commands finishes executing | |
find . -type f -name name\*
Search in current directories as well as subdirectories for all files starting with "name"
If you want to search for file as well as folders
find -name name\*
To delete all the files which you obtained
find . -type f -name name\* -exec rm {} \;
Always check the list of files before using the exec command
Find 5 largest pdf files in current directory :
sudo find . -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{print $5 " " $9}' | sort -nr -k1 | head -n5
grep -A10 # Print 10 lines after the matched pattern
grep -B10 # Print 10 lines before the matched pattern
grep -C10 # Print 10 lines before and after the matched pattern
grep 'vikas|deepak' # Match vikas or deepak
grep -v # invert matching # negation
