So I'm trying to make a script that will download my podcasts upon detecting my smart watch connecting and transfer them to it. I've configured the udev rule to detect when the watch is connected and it executes /bin/watch_transfer.sh for which the code is as such:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
echo "Watch connected at $(date)" >>/tmp/scripts.log
# Download new podcasts
cd /home/pi/Scripts/
./bashpodder.shell >>/tmp/pscripts.log
echo "Upodder should've run by now">>/tmp/scripts.log
# Transfer podcasts
for file in /home/pi/Downloads/podcasts/*
do
/usr/bin/mtp-sendfile $file /Podcasts
echo "Processing $file" >>/tmp/scripts.log
done
echo "Sent all files" >>/tmp/scripts.log
I know that the file runs when the watch is connected because /tmp/scripts.log is created and updated, and also bashpodder.shelll creates the podcast.m3u file so the bashpodder script is running but it doesn't download any files to /~/Downloads/podcasts. Bashpodder is a simle podcast downloader (I was using upodder but switched because it didn't seem to work) and mtp-tools is a way to transfer files through MTP. Bashpodder.shell script below:

do

for url in $file
do
echo $url >> temp.log
if ! grep "$url" podcast.log > /dev/null
then
wget -t 10 -U BashPodder -c -q -O $datadir/$(echo "$url" | awk -F'/' {'print $NF'} | awk -F'=' {'print $NF'} | awk -F'?' {'print $1'}) "$url"
fi
done
done < bp.conf
# Move dynamically created log file to permanent log file:
cat podcast.log >> temp.log
sort temp.log | uniq > podcast.log
rm temp.log
# Create an m3u playlist:
ls $datadir | grep -v m3u > $datadir/podcast.m3u
I think it might be something to do with permissions? As when I run ./watch_transfer.sh from the terminal it runs perfectly. Thanks in advance for your help.
edit:
After connecting my watch:
Ouput of $ cat /tmp/scripts.log:
Watch connected at Thu Jul 16 22:25:47 BST 2020
Upodder should've run by now
Processing /home/pi/Downloads/podcasts/podcast.m3u
Sent all files
$ cat /tmp/psripts.log doesn't output anything but /tmp/pscripts.log does exist.
Output of $ cat ~/Scripts/temp.log:
http://rasterweb.net/raster/audio/rwaudio20060108.mp3
http://rasterweb.net/raster/audio/rwaudio20051020.mp3

This seems to suggest that bashpodder is running through the urls but not actually downloading them?

I have two scripts. The only difference between the two scripts is the log file name and the device ip address that it fetches the data from. The problem is that the log file that concats continuously mixes up and starts writing the contents of one device onto the log of the other. So, 1 particular log file randomly switches from showing the data from one device to the other device..
Here is a sample of what it gets from the curl call.
{"method":"uploadsn","mac":"04786364933C","version":"1.35","server":"HT","SN":"267074DE","Data":[7.2]}
I'm 99% the issue is with the log variable, as one script runs every 30 minutes and one script runs every 15 minutes, so i can tell by the date stamps that the issue is not from fetching from the wrong device, but the concatenating of the files. It appears to concat the wrong file to the new file....
Here is the code of both.
#!/bin/bash
log="/scripts/cellar.log"
if [ ! -f "$log" ]
then
touch "$log"
fi
now=`date +%a,%m/%d/%Y#%I:%M%p`
json=$(curl -m 3 --user *****:***** "http://192.168.1.146/monitorjson" --silent --stderr -)
celsius=$(echo $json | cut -d "[" -f2 | cut -d "]" -f1)
temp=$(echo "scale=4; $celsius*1.8 + 32" | bc)
line=$(echo $now : $temp)
echo $line
echo $line | cat - $log > temp && mv temp $log | sed -n '1,192p' $log
and here is the second
#!/bin/bash
log="/scripts/gh.log"
if [ ! -f "$log" ]
then
touch "$log"
fi
now=`date +%a,%m/%d/%Y#%I:%M%p`
json=$(curl -m 3 --user *****:***** "http://192.168.1.145/monitorjson" --silent --stderr -)
celsius=$(echo $json | cut -d "[" -f2 | cut -d "]" -f1)
temp=$(echo "scale=4; $celsius*1.8 + 32" | bc)
line=$(echo $now : $temp)
#echo $line
echo $line | cat - $log > temp && mv temp $log | sed -n '1,192p' $log
Example of bad log file (shows contents of both devices when should only contain 1):
Mon,11/28/2022#03:30AM : 44.96
Mon,11/28/2022#03:00AM : 44.96
Mon,11/28/2022#02:30AM : 44.96
Tue,11/29/2022#02:15AM : 60.62
Tue,11/29/2022#02:00AM : 60.98
Tue,11/29/2022#01:45AM : 60.98
The problem is that you use "temp" as the filename for a temporary file in both scripts.
I'm not good in understanding sed, but as I read it, you print only the first 192 lines of the logfile with your command. You don't need a temporary file for that.
First: logfiles are usually written from oldest to newest entry (top to bottom), so probably you want to view the 192 newest lines? Then you can make use of the >> output redirection to append your output to the file. Then use tail to get only the bottom of the file. And if necessary, you could reverse that final output.
That last line of your script would then be replaced by:
sed -i '1i '"$line"'
192,$d' $log
Further possible improvements:
Use a single script that gets URL and log filename as parameters
Use the usual log file order (newest entries appended at the end)
Don't truncate log files inside the script, but use logrotate to not exceed a certain filesize
I want to run a shell script when a specific file or directory changes.
How can I easily do that?
You may try entr tool to run arbitrary commands when files change. Example for files:
$ ls -d * | entr sh -c 'make && make test'
or:
$ ls *.css *.html | entr reload-browser Firefox
or print Changed! when file file.txt is saved:
$ echo file.txt | entr echo Changed!
For directories use -d, but you've to use it in the loop, e.g.:
while true; do find path/ | entr -d echo Changed; done
or:
while true; do ls path/* | entr -pd echo Changed; done
I use this script to run a build script on changes in a directory tree:
#!/bin/bash -eu
DIRECTORY_TO_OBSERVE="js" # might want to change this
function block_for_change {
inotifywait --recursive \
--event modify,move,create,delete \
$DIRECTORY_TO_OBSERVE
}
BUILD_SCRIPT=build.sh # might want to change this too
function build {
bash $BUILD_SCRIPT
}
build
while block_for_change; do
build
done
Uses inotify-tools. Check inotifywait man page for how to customize what triggers the build.
Use inotify-tools.
The linked Github page has a number of examples; here is one of them.
#!/bin/sh
cwd=$(pwd)
inotifywait -mr \
--timefmt '%d/%m/%y %H:%M' --format '%T %w %f' \
-e close_write /tmp/test |
while read -r date time dir file; do
changed_abs=${dir}${file}
changed_rel=${changed_abs#"$cwd"/}
rsync --progress --relative -vrae 'ssh -p 22' "$changed_rel" \
usernam#example.com:/backup/root/dir && \
echo "At ${time} on ${date}, file $changed_abs was backed up via rsync" >&2
done
How about this script? Uses the 'stat' command to get the access time of a file and runs a command whenever there is a change in the access time (whenever file is accessed).
#!/bin/bash
while true
do
ATIME=`stat -c %Z /path/to/the/file.txt`
if [[ "$ATIME" != "$LTIME" ]]
then
echo "RUN COMMNAD"
LTIME=$ATIME
fi
sleep 5
done
Check out the kernel filesystem monitor daemon
http://freshmeat.net/projects/kfsmd/
Here's a how-to:
http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/124903
As mentioned, inotify-tools is probably the best idea. However, if you're programming for fun, you can try and earn hacker XPs by judicious application of tail -f .
Just for debugging purposes, when I write a shell script and want it to run on save, I use this:
#!/bin/bash
file="$1" # Name of file
command="${*:2}" # Command to run on change (takes rest of line)
t1="$(ls --full-time $file | awk '{ print $7 }')" # Get latest save time
while true
do
t2="$(ls --full-time $file | awk '{ print $7 }')" # Compare to new save time
if [ "$t1" != "$t2" ];then t1="$t2"; $command; fi # If different, run command
sleep 0.5
done
Run it as
run_on_save.sh myfile.sh ./myfile.sh arg1 arg2 arg3
Edit: Above tested on Ubuntu 12.04, for Mac OS, change the ls lines to:
"$(ls -lT $file | awk '{ print $8 }')"
Add the following to ~/.bashrc:
function react() {
if [ -z "$1" -o -z "$2" ]; then
echo "Usage: react <[./]file-to-watch> <[./]action> <to> <take>"
elif ! [ -r "$1" ]; then
echo "Can't react to $1, permission denied"
else
TARGET="$1"; shift
ACTION="$#"
while sleep 1; do
ATIME=$(stat -c %Z "$TARGET")
if [[ "$ATIME" != "${LTIME:-}" ]]; then
LTIME=$ATIME
$ACTION
fi
done
fi
}
Quick solution for fish shell users who wanna track a single file:
while true
set old_hash $hash
set hash (md5sum file_to_watch)
if [ $hash != $old_hash ]
command_to_execute
end
sleep 1
end
replace md5sum with md5 if on macos.
Here's another option: http://fileschanged.sourceforge.net/
See especially "example 4", which "monitors a directory and archives any new or changed files".
inotifywait can satisfy you.
Here is a common sample for it:
inotifywait -m /path -e create -e moved_to -e close_write | # -m is --monitor, -e is --event
while read path action file; do
if [[ "$file" =~ .*rst$ ]]; then # if suffix is '.rst'
echo ${path}${file} ': '${action} # execute your command
echo 'make html'
make html
fi
done
Suppose you want to run rake test every time you modify any ruby file ("*.rb") in app/ and test/ directories.
Just get the most recent modified time of the watched files and check every second if that time has changed.
Script code
t_ref=0; while true; do t_curr=$(find app/ test/ -type f -name "*.rb" -printf "%T+\n" | sort -r | head -n1); if [ $t_ref != $t_curr ]; then t_ref=$t_curr; rake test; fi; sleep 1; done
Benefits
You can run any command or script when the file changes.
It works between any filesystem and virtual machines (shared folders on VirtualBox using Vagrant); so you can use a text editor on your Macbook and run the tests on Ubuntu (virtual box), for example.
Warning
The -printf option works well on Ubuntu, but do not work in MacOS.
The following commands work on my terminal but not in my shell script. I later found out that my terminal was /bin/tcsh. Can somebody tell me what changes I need to do for /bin/sh. Here are the commands I need to change:
cp source_dir/*/dir1/*.xml destination_dir/
Error in sh-> cp: cannot stat `source_dir/*/dir1/*.xml': No such file or directory
sed -i "s+${initial_name}+${final_name}+" $file_name
This one does not complain but does not work as well.
I am adding an example for testing. The code tends to rename the names of xml files and also the contents of xml files. For example-
The file name crr.ya.na.aa.xml should be changed to aa.xml
The same name inside crr.ya.na.aa.xml should also be changed from crr.ya.na.aa to aa
Here is the code:
#!/bin/sh
# Create dir structure for testing
rm -rf audience
mkdir audience
mkdir audience/dir1 audience/dir2 audience/dir3
mkdir audience/dir1/ipxact audience/dir2/ipxact audience/dir3/ipxact
touch audience/dir1/ipxact/crr.ya.na.aa.xml
echo "<spirit:name>crr.ya.na.aa</spirit:name>" > audience/dir1/ipxact/crr.ya.na.aa.xml
touch audience/dir2/ipxact/crr.ya.na.bb.xml
echo "<spirit:name>crr.ya.na.bb</spirit:name>" > audience/dir2/ipxact/crr.ya.na.bb.xml
touch audience/dir3/ipxact/crr.ya.na.cc.xml
echo "<spirit:name>crr.ya.na.cc</spirit:name>" > audience/dir3/ipxact/crr.ya.na.cc.xml
# Create a dir for ipxact_drop files if it does not exist
mkdir -p ipxact_drop
rm -rf ipxact_drop/*
cp audience/*/ipxact/*.xml ipxact_drop/
ls ipxact_drop/ > ipxact_drop_files.log
cat ipxact_drop_files.log | \
awk '{ split($0,a,"."); print a[length(a)-1] "." a[length(a)] }' ipxact_drop_files.log > file_names.log
cat ipxact_drop_files.log | \
awk '{ split($0,a,"."); print "mv ipxact_drop/" $0 " ipxact_drop/" a[length(a)-1] "." a[length(a)] }' ipxact_drop_files.log > command.log
chmod +x command.log
./command.log
while read line
do
echo ipxact_drop/$line
initial_name=`grep -m 1 crr ipxact_drop/$line | sed -e 's/<spirit:name>//' | sed -e 's/<\/spirit:name>//' `
final_name="${line%.*}"
echo $initial_name
echo $final_name
sed -i "s+${initial_name}+${final_name}+" ipxact_drop/$line
done < file_names.log
echo " ***** SCRIPT RUN FINISHED *****"
Only the sed command at the end is not working
I was reading some other posts and understood that xml files can have problems with scripts. Here is what that worked for me upto now.
To remove cp error: replace #!/bin/sh -f with #!/bin/sh
To remove sed error for the test input: replace sed -i ...... with sed -i.back ....

I'm trying to write bash script in Linux (Debian), that will be used for downloading graphic files from website given by user during start-up. I'm not sure if my code is correct but first problem is when i try to run my script with website e.g. http://www.bbc.com/ an error shows: http://www.bbc.com/ : invalid identifier. I even tried a simple website that has only a few JPG files. My next problem is to find out how to download files from .txt file where the images Internet adresses are included.
#!/bin/bash
# $1 - URL $2 - new catalog name
read $1 $2
url=$1
fold=$2
mkdir -p $fold
if [$# -ne 3];
then
echo "Wrong command"
exit -1
fi
curl $url | grep -o -e "<img src=\".*\"+>" > img_list.txt |wc -l img_list.txt | lin=${% *}
baseurl=$(echo $url | grep -o "https?://[a-z.]*"")
curl -s $url | egrep -o "<img src\=[^>]*>" | sed 's/<img src=\"\([^"]*\).*/\1/.*/\1/g' > url_list.txt
sed -i "s|^/|$baseurl/|" url_list.txt
cd $fold;
what can I do next?
For download every image from the webpage I would to use:
mech-dump --absolute --images http://example.com | xargs -n1 curl -O
but this need to be installed the mech-dump command from the WWW::Mechanize package.
Using the list file
while read -r url folder
do
mkdir -p "$folder" || exit 1
(cd "$folder" && mech-dump --absolute --images "$url" | xargs -n1 curl -O)
done < list.txt
(assuming than no url nor folder containing a space).
an error shows: http://www.bbc.com/ : invalid identifier
Your use of read is wrong; change
read $1 $2
url=$1
fold=$2
to
read url fold
or decide to specify the arguments on the command line and omit only read $1 $2.
Also, each operand in [ ] must be separated from the brackets; change
if [$# -ne 3];
to
if [ -z "$fold" ]
