Bash programming question

[Bashnoob]

Hello!I am a real noob in bash programming and i would like some help (also i dont know very good english so forgive my mistakes)...

I want to write a bash script that finds which of my friends are currently logged in the system and the time of their login or if someone of my friends is not currently logged in when was the time/date of his last login

For example an output of my script could be like this

cat ~/.friends
root John

bash checkfriends.sh
root is ONLINE: Logged in on Wed Apr 25 05:36
John last seen on Wed Apr 25 01:01


Any help would be very appreciated!

cat /var/log/auth.log |grep login

Of course that won't work if you don't have an auth.log there, or if it's in a very different structure than mine, what OS are you running?

If it does work for you that should be a start however.

[bkubes]

also in place of "grep login" you may use "grep ssh" for remote connections.
I'd recommend looking over auth.conf so you have a better idea.

I am experimenting with Minix 3!For this i write the scripts!
That command you gave me doesnt work for Minix 3!Unfortunately
I am trying the commands last,or who and awk programming but i havent found a solution!Minix isnt very helpful!
Thanks for the replies

[bkubes]

well I don't know Minix3 specifically, do you have gnu-coreutils installed?
http://www.minix3.org/software/

You will definitely want to get those for any sort of shell scripting!

Edit: I'm almost certain that it comes with gnu-coreutils installed, so forget about that.
Are you familiar with 'sed' 'grep' etc?

[bkubes]

who|sed -e s/' '/' is ONLINE:'/ -e s/'   *'[a-z]*' *'/' Logged in on '/

That should work for the online portion of your script. Ask if you need an explanation or further help.

[bkubes]

also, do you have a small amount of users? and how do they log in?

[Bashnoob]

That command is working.Sed is a little confusing but i understood it.The users i want to monitor are placed in the file /home/friends.They arent many!For my experiments i write adduser and afterwards i login from another console of minix with the user i just added.

i thought something like that:

last -1 root > log0
last -1 bill > log1
last -1 cate > log2
awk ' {
if($7 == "still")
{ print $1 " is ONLINE: Logged in on " $3" " $4" " $5" " $6 }
else
{ print $1 " last seen on " $3" " $4" " $5" " $6 }
} ' log0

and so on for every user in /home/friends

This outputs what i want but its not dynamic.For example if i added a user in my friends directory i must change this script too.I want the script to look in the /home/friends if you understand me.

[bkubes]

#!/usr/bin/bash
echo `ls -D /home` > /home/friends
user=1
while [ "$user" -le "`cat /home/friends|wc -w`" ]
do
last -l `awk '{print $'''$user'''}' /home/friends`|awk '{print $1" Last seen on "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6; exit}'
user=`expr $user + 1`
done
rm /home/friends

This script assumes all directories in /home are also usernames.
It should work dynamically as long as home folders are added to /home
Also I'm working in a very limited Minix3 environment so it may not work!

Hi i tried that code but it seems to have a problem that i dont understand.The system doesnt accept the command

user = 'expr $user +1 '

so it doesnt do the loop!But the command according to theory is correct!Isnt it wierd?

I have another problem to solve!I want to find all the
files under the current directory and its subdirs that have a certain pattern.Then
i want to output the name of the files and all the lines in which the pattern is located in that file.

For example an output could be like this:

bash-3.00# findsrc.sh UID
cpio.h:40:#define C_ISUID 0004000 /* Set user ID. */
pwd.h:58:#ifndef _UID_T_DECLARED
pwd.h:60:#define _UID_T_DECLARED
pwd.h:101:#define _PW_KEYBYUID ’\x33’ /* stored by uid */
pwd.h:134:#define _PWF_UID _PWF(2)
tar.h:59:#define TSUID 04000 /* Set UID on execution */
unistd.h:71:#ifndef _UID_T_DECLARED
unistd.h:73:#define _UID_T_DECLARED
uuid.h:30:#ifndef _UUID_H_
uuid.h:31:#define _UUID_H_
uuid.h:59:#endif /* _UUID_H_ */

Any ideas?

Ithought of
read -p pattern
find . -exec grep -l $pattern'{}' \;
find . -exec grep -n $pattern'{}' \;

But that outputs first names and then lines.I want them together.
ls -R maybe and some for ....??

[bkubes]

perhaps try cgrep?
it displays both lines and the file name.

[Bashnoob]

In minix it doesnt .There is also grep -R but minix doesnt have that command either.

[bkubes]

I wish we were working in the same minix environment. I'm using minix3, but I must be using a different version of the same tools

I'll try and get back to you with a different method.

[Wierd]

Hi guys!I am experimenting with minix3 also!But my main interest is its source files!

I was trying to make a system call that (in process manager - pm) returns the structure sigaction .

I want to do it by implementing another function that allows the use of the above system call .

I define the second function like this:
_PROTOTYPE( struct sigaction sigquery, (int _sig) );
where _sig is the type of the signal.

This function should return the sigaction that we have defined in pm.

Any ideas?
