OK.. just little ole me again with a question....

Here is a bash script I put together to post a message in a general area...

==== Start

#!/bin/bash



cd /home/pi/sbbs/exec



rm -r /home/pi/sbbs/exec/daystats.txt

rm -r /home/pi/sbbs/exec/daygraph.txt



cd /home/pi/binkd-1.1



perl binkdstat-wk42.pl -s -l binkd.log -p -1 +1 >
/home/pi/sbbs/exec/daystats.txt

perl binkdstat-wk42.pl -l binkd.log -p -1 +1 -G -1 >
/home/pi/sbbs/exec/daygraph.txt



chmod 777 /home/pi/sbbs/exec/daystats.txt

chmod 777 /home/pi/sbbs/exec/daygraph.txt



cd /home/pi/sbbs/exec



./smbutil -fSportNetHub -tAll -sBink_Daily_Graph -i
/home/pi/sbbs/exec/daygraph.txt /home/pi/sbbs/data/subs/1generals.shd


./smbutil -fSportNetHub -tAll -sBinkD_Daily_Stats -i
/home/pi/sbbs/exec/daystats.txt /home/pi/sbbs/data/subs/1generals.shd



./sbbsecho -LINF > /home/pi/sbbs/events/outerror.log


===== End

I run the above script as a SU and this is the result.

===== Start

(there is a significant amout of 'chatter' before this but it really wasn't
needed)

Maintaining /home/pi/sbbs/data/subs/1generals

Maintaining /home/pi/sbbs/data/subs/1generals hash file

Loading index...

2 of 2

Done.



Scanning for pre-flagged messages...

100% (0 pre-flagged for deletion)

Scanning for read messages to be killed...

100% (0 flagged for deletion due to read status)



!Error 2 opening home/pi/sbbs/exec/daystats.txt


Returning error code: 1

===== End

Perl creates the file without an issue.

Now from what you can see in the 'script', I use chmod to allow anyone the
ability to do whatever they deemed fit with it, yet... why does smbutil have an
issue opening the file?

Appreciate your time...

Thanks

Is that a typo or is the initial / (before home) actually missing?

My guess: the missing slash.

It looks like here you have a space between -i and the path to daygraph.txt.
There shouldn't be one.

Also, I believe you can use regular spacing as long as you use quotes (ie:
-s"BinkD Daily Graph").

BM> ./smbutil -fSportNetHub -tAll -sBinkD_Daily_Stats -i
BM> /home/pi/sbbs/exec/daystats.txt /home/pi/sbbs/data/subs/1generals.shd

Same with the above.

BM> !Error 2 opening home/pi/sbbs/exec/daystats.txt
BM> Returning error code: 1

Notice in the error above there is no "/" before "home". This is most likely
because there is a space between the option and the path to the text file you
wish to import.

Nick

Nope, not a typo, I c&p'd directly. There was no / before home.

DM> My guess: the missing slash.

I would say so also but no where in the script did I miss putting the full path
including the beginning /.

If I remove the space after the -i I get a: Unknown opt '/'
If I remove the / and the space after the -i I get: Umknown opt 'h'
If I leave the space and remove the / after the -i I get: !Error 2 opening

(Notice it always seems to remove the first character after the -i

Done. Once I get the other stuff working hopefull that will take care of the _
issue.

Aha. Figured it out. While "-f", "-t", and "-s" are all options that should be
started with a "-", "i" is a command, and should not be. Here is one of my
scripts to import a text file:

#!/bin/bash

export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl

/sbbs/exec/smbutil i/sbbs/text/phar_ad.asc /sbbs/data/subs/dove-ads.shd <
/sbbs/mods/hdr/phar_ad.hdr

Take out the hyphen before "i" as well as the space, and you should be good to
go.

Ac>> Also, I believe you can use regular spacing as long as you use
Ac>> quotes (ie: -s"BinkD Daily Graph").

BM> Done. Once I get the other stuff working hopefull that will take care
BM> of the _ issue.

Also, as you can see above, I use a header to fill in the option fields. The
"phar_ad.hdr" only contains three lines:

TO
FROM
SUBJECT

So you don't need to add that to the command line if you do something like what
I do above. That's completely optional, though.

Regards,
Nick

That was it!! I thought I copied over exactly how I have it on the 'Doze
box... <shaking head> But I am getting better making up these bash scripts...
;)

I did that in the beginning as well but probably because of the '-' in front of
the i it was giving me trouble so I went the long way. It works... so I had to
type a few more keystrokes.. lol!!

Yup... one thing I had to do is change permissons on the 1generals.* files in
the sub but as I said, it's working... and all is good in Mudville...

Thanks so much Nick!!
