Cluster; After the job finishes ,How to initiate file transfer? WinSCP

The cluster I am working with sends emails after finishing a job.

How can I monitor email to initiate the file transfer may be it with WinSCP or through a shell noscript?

Actually, I need to have a large number of plots and calculations to be made on the go; how can I do that?

Curl request

I have a textfile which i would like to send to my telegrambot. The issue iam facing is that the textfile does not get sorted correctly when i post it through the curl request.

But when i run it in terminal it sorts nicely without any issues.

curl -s --data text="$(cat '/files/test.txt')" --data-urlencode "chat_id=@chatid123" 'https://api.telegram.org/botmyapikey/sendMessage'

This below is the format i want. I've read about word splitting but the quotes around the cat command does not seem to make a difference.

A way to run a noscript called XYZ.sh and the output will be in a file called XYX.out

I was asked to write a noscript that a user could run and the output would be easy for them to copy.

Although this is not what the noscript did it is an example where if you run a noscript called "AScript.sh" the user will see the output and have a noscript called "AScript.out" after.
I hope someone finds the idea useful.

#!/usr/bin/env bash               
                                  
# Get the noscript name             
Me="${0##*/}"                     
                                  
( (                               
                                  
    # do a read from the df command
    while read -r MountPoint Type; do
                                  
        # print out a command     
        echo "${MountPoint} uses filesystem type ${Type}"
        sleep 2                   
                                  
        # From inside the first loop do something withn the mount point
        while read -r FoundFile; do
                                  
            #  Print out a message
            echo "I have found your file \"${FoundFile}\" in filesystem \"${MountPoint}\""
                                  
        done< <(find "${MountPoint}" -xdev -type f -iname "*[a-c].mp4" 2> /dev/null)

Bash noscript to rename files excluding names in an array

I currenlty have a noscript where I rename files by removing whitespace and certain names.

prename -v 's/ /_/g' *

prename -v 's/_-_/_/g' *

prename -v 's/_\(Summer-HD\)//ig' *

prename -v 's/_\(Hammer\)//ig' *

prename -v 's/_\(Hardware-Hybrid\)//g' *

prename -v 's/_\(digital\)//ig' *

prename -v 's/_\(Resolution-SD\)//ig' *

What I have tried is a for loop and place name in an array but that has not worked.


exclude=('(Summer-HD)' '(Hammer)' '(digital)' '(Resolution-SD)' '(Vacation)' '(Hammer-Hybrid)')

for x in "${exclude[@]}";
do prename -v 's/$x/_/g' * {} \;
done

This for loop does not work at all, and I'm not sure if I can pass a variable to prename. I would like to put the names in an array since I currently have more than 200 that i would like to remove. This list will grow as I restore these files from old backups.

ASCII Pendulum written in BASH noscript

I am so excited to share my BASH ASCII graphics library.
Been working on it for a while and its finally working.
I made a ASCII pendulum using it.

I've named the library - baSHed2D

Tbh the whole logic of pendulum was copied from coding train YouTube channel's p5.js pendulum video😅

Here's the Demo Video

YouTube link

Ans here's the code

GitHub link

Please review my code and suggestions are welcomed and I actually need some suggestions to improve this.

What you can do using baSHed2D

Draw lines,

Draw circles,

Draw rectangle,

Move these shapes


I will add mouse location getters too.

And a huge thanks to you guys, i had some issues regarding my code and I posted it here. It was for the line drawing algorithm, you guys are great. I learnt so much from your advices.

Running bash noscript from outside Terminal, won't pick up second flag ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi,
I'm running a noscript from Lingon X, a scheduler on macos. It generally works but ignores the *--cuesheet* flag. Can anyone see why?

Lingon X uses this command:

/bin/bash -li /Users/goggle-moggle/iplayer.sh

The iplayer.sh noscript looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

shopt -s expand_aliases

alias gip='get_iplayer --file-prefix="<name> - <episode> <pid> <version>" --pid '

gip m000b075 --pid-recursive --cuesheet
gip b09ymqm4 --pid-recursive --cuesheet


The noscript works as expected when I run from Terminal.
Thanks!

Scripting Issue - new to noscripting

I'm trying to create a noscript that uses one argument, and only one argument. This argument specifies the number of minutes to count down. It should start with the number of minutes, then count down second by second writing the text "there are x seconds remaining". When there is no time left the noscript should echo "time is over" and then quit.


So far I have this:

!#/bin/bash

for (( COUNTER=$1; COUNTER>0; COUNTER-- )); do sleep 1

echo "there are $COUNTER seconds remaining"

done

echo "time is over"

exit 0

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

This noscript counts down by the second if I run "bash noscript 5" it will count down 5 seconds, but I need it to count down 5 minutes, second by second when I do that. Appreciate all help

What is the underscore variable in bash, that always is set to my last issued command?

When executing env, I'll see a set of variables, including one that is (named) the underscore '_' which has my last command. eg:

# env
SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
LESSHISTFILE=-
XPCFLAGS=0x0
HISTCONTROL=ignorespace:ignoredups:erasedups
HISTIGNORE=&;???;*sudo -S*
...
BLOCKSIZE=1024
=/usr/bin/env <----------------- here!

I wonder what this is called (as in: how to google for it for more details) and if I could make use of it (besides the usual ways to recall the last command[s\] from history with !$ !! !-2 etc.).

Thanks in advance!

FWIW: bash 5.2.9, but it has been there since ... forever?
