Introduction to Shell Scripting Naveen undefined undefined undefined Share A shell script is a script written for the shell,

or command line interpreter, of an operating system. It is often considered a simple domain-specific programming language. Typical operations performed by shell scripts include file manipulation, program execution, and printing text. Types of shell scripts : Basically we have three types of the shell scripts [Most Prominent ones ,widely used in industry]. 1. Bourne Shell : The Bourne shell, or sh, was the default Unix shell of Unix Version 7, and replaced the Thompson shell, whose executable file had the same name, sh. It was developed by Stephen Bourne, of AT&T Bell Laboratories, and was released in 1977 in the Version 7 Unix release distributed to colleges and universities. It remains a popular default shell for Unix accounts. The binary program of the Bourne shell or a compatible program is located at /bin/sh on most Unix systems, and is still the default shell for the root superuser on many current Unix implementations. Features of the Bourne shell include:
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y

Scripts can be invoked as commands by using their filename May be used interactively or non-interactively Allow both synchronous and asynchronous execution of commands supports input and output redirection and pipelines provides a set of built-in commands provides flow control constructs, quotation facilities, and functions. typeless variables provides local and global variable scope scripts do not require compilation before execution does not have a goto facility, so code restructuring may be necessary Command substitution using back quotes: `command`. Here documents using << to embed a block of input text within a script. "for ~ do ~ done" loops, in particular the use of $* to loop over arguments. "case ~ in ~ esac" selection mechanism, primarily intended to assist argument parsing. sh provided support for environment variables using keyword parameters and exportable variables.

It contains strong provisions for controlling input and output and in its expression matching facilities.

2. C Shell : The C shell (csh or the improved version, tcsh, on most machines) is a Unix shell that was created by Bill Joy while a graduate student at University of California, Berkeley in the late 1970s. The C shell is a command processor that's typically run in a text window, allowing the user to type commands which cause actions. The C shell can also read commands from a file, called a script. Like all Unix shells, it supports filename wildcarding, piping, here documents, command substitution, variables and control structures for condition-testing and iteration. What differentiated the C shell, especially in the 1980s, were its interactive features and overall style. Its new features made it easier and faster to use. The overall style of the language looked more like C and was seen as more readable. Features of C Shell : Some of the features of the C shell are listed here:
y y y y y y

Customizable environment. Abbreviate commands. (Aliases.) History. (Remembers commands typed before.) Job control. (Run programs in the background or foreground.) Shell scripting. (One can write programs using the shell.) Keyboard shortcuts.

3. Korn Shell : The Korn shell (ksh) is a Unix shell which was developed by David Korn (AT&T Bell Laboratories) in the early 1980s and announced at Toronto USENIX on July 14 1983 ksh is backwards-compatible with the Bourne shell and includes many features of the C shell as well, such as a command history, which was inspired by the requests of Bell Labs users. The Korn shell's major new features include:
y y

Command-line editing , allowing you to use vi or emacs -style editing commands on your command lines. Integrated programming features : the functionality of several external UNIX commands, including test , expr , getopt , and echo , has been integrated into the shell itself, enabling common programming tasks to be done more cleanly and without creating extra processes. Control structures , especially the select construct, which enables easy menu generation.

y y y y y y

Debugging primitives that make it possible to write tools that help programmers debug their shell code. Regular expressions , well known to users of UNIX utilities like grep and awk , have been added to the standard set of filename wildcards and to the shell variable facility. Advanced I/O features , including the ability to do two-way communication with concurrent processes (coroutines ). New options and variables that give you more ways to customize your environment. Increased speed of shell code execution. Security features that help protect against "Trojan horses" and other types of break-in schemes.

Why do we Use Shell Scripting Naveen undefined undefined undefined Share We use Shell Scripts to obtain the following purposes. 1. Customizing your work environment. 2. Automating Your Daily Task. 3.Automating Repetitive Task. 4.Executing Important Procedures like shutting down the system,formatting a disk,Creating a file system on it,mounting the file system,letting the users use the floppy and finally un mounting the disk. 5.Performing the same operation on many files.

When Not to use Shell Scripting : 1. Is too complex,such as writing an entire billing system. 2. Requires a high degree of efficiency 3. Requires a variety of Software tools. Usage of Shell Scripts with in Informatica: 1.To run an batch via pmcmd. 2. To have header and footer in case we are goanna write to an flat file

3.To run the command task. 4. To update parameter file with session start time and end time

Prints the Processes associated with current user. Prints the Processes associated with current user with their hierarchy.f ps -f stands for full. ps -f -u a_cmdb Prints all the processes associated ps -a with a_cmdb user. ps -e Prints all the users processes. Prints system process. prints all the ksh process running in the system by first searching for all the process.

Running job in background Run the search job in background by printing its process id.Shell become the parent of all ps -f background process. 29.Background ps -f -u a_cmdb This command print all the jobs job ps -a runnung in background with their ps -e sequence no of exceution. Running fg will bring most recently started background process <LAST IN FIRST OUT> First job will come into foreground. 30.nohup Shell is parent of all background nohup ps -eaf | jobs and it dies when user logs out

grep 'ksh' &

and ultimately all the child process also dies.To avoid dying of shell even when the user logs out run the background process using nohup command. System process init having PID as 1 is parent of all SHELL processes and when the user login this PID become the PPID of SHELL prrocess. Now after running the process in nohup mode kernel has reassigned the PPID of ps process with PID of system process which will not die even after SHELL dies through logging out. To kill the command. Kill the process with 520 process id. Kill the parent process id which inturn kill all the child process. Killing system process init is not possible. A Process having process id as 1 is parent of all SHELL processes. No need to remember Process id of last background procees its in $! Kill all process in the system except login shell process. $$ stores the PID of current login shell

31.Kill

kill 520 kill 640 kill 1 kill $! kill 0

32.Nice

Running the command with low priority nice who | wc Nice value range from 1 to 39, l& higher the nice value lower the nice -n 10 who | priority.default nice value is 20. wc -l & nice value becomes 30. To Run the job at specied time of the day. at 2:10 load.ksh Indicate the load.ksh will execute today by 2:10 batch load.ksh batch command executes the process whenever the CPU is free. cron executes process at regular intervals it keeps checking the control file at

39.Chown

To change the owner of file can only be done by owner or sys admin. change the owner from gagan to chown jaspreet jaspreet for testfile. Now gagan testfile cannot change the ownership of test chown -R file what he can do is just create the jaspreet testfile similar copy of file and then he can become the owner of file. Recursively changes the owner all files under current directory. To change the group of file can only be done by owner or sys admin. chgrp GTI test group changed to GTI from IB as file user is still the same and he can chgrp -R GTI again change the group of file to IB. test file Recursively changes group all files under current directory. touch 03161430 test file touch -m 04161430 test file touch -a Changing the time stamps of file touch without any argument will change both modified time and access time. Changes only modification time. Changes only access time.

40.Chgrp

41.Touch

05161430 test file Linking two file, doing this both the file will have same inode number and changes in one will reflect in another also. ls -li 6_load.ksh 7_load.ksh will give us same inode number. Drop the link between two files. Prints the amount of free space available on the disc. Prints the free and total space under oracle file system. Prints the disk usage of specific directory tree. By default du prints disk usage for each sub directory. Prints summary of whole directory tree. Prints disk usage for every user

42.Linking in

By default the sorting starts with first character of each line. Priority1.space, tabs 2. numerals 3.uppercase letters 4. Lower case letters. Sorting starts from 3rd field skipping 2nd field, overring the default.delimiter to distinguish b/w start and end of field. Reverse sort starting with 3rd field. The above command can be written in another way. save sorted data in file. Sorting based on different field as in case of order by clause.Sorting starts with 2nd field then with 4th field, -2 indicate to stop the sorting after 2nd field and resume it with 3rd field.

Represent all lines in the file. Stands for globally search between lines 3 and 10 Only the current line. Only the last line. Ask for confirmation for replacement

grep

-c -n -v -l -i [PQR] [c1-c2] [^PQR] ^<pat> <pat>$ {a-Z A-Z 0-9} ls l |grep ^d egrep egrep '[aA]g+[ar][ar]wal' test1.txt

counting occurrence. display line number for record. skip records that contain directory. display files containing record. ignore case. match any single character. match char with ASCII range match single character which is not PQR. beginning with pattern. ending with pattern. match any single character. Prints only directories.

match one or more occurrence matches ag & agg.

egrep match zero or one '[aA]gg?[ar][ar]wal' occurrence. test1.txt egrep prashant|director test1.txt match eap1 or eap2 (finds prashant or line with director)

egrep (das|sen)gupta match exp x1x3 or x2x3 test1.txt (like dasgupta & sengupta) egrep -f Huge list of pattern search <pattern_file_name> can passed in the form of test1.txt file name .pattern stored in file eg(prashant|admin|director) + Matches one or more occurrence of previous character. Matches zero or one

occurrence of previous character. Fgrep fgrep and egrep accepts multiple pattern both form command line and a file but unlike grep and egrep does not accept regular expression. fgrep -f pattern file emp file Faster than grep and egrep family

Pattern Matching Naveen undefined undefined undefined Share

Command *

Options

Description Matches any number of character including NONE. * does not match all files beginning with dot <.>.

ls -l chap* ls -x chap*

Matches all the files which starts with chap. Matches all the files which starts with chap and prints in multi column way. Matches single character.

? ls -l chap?

Matches all the files with only 5 character name and should start with chap. Matches single character either i or j or k. Matches single character that is not i or j or k

[ ijk ] [ !ijk ]

[x-z]

Matches single character that is not within the ASCII range of character x and z. Matches single character that is not within the ASCII range of character x and z ls -l chap0[1 - 4] ls -l [ a z A-Z] Range specification is also available. Matches all file names beginning with alphabet irrespective of case. Matches all file names beginning with alphabet chap and not ending with any number. Print all the files which end with ist extensions. Copy all files starts with chap to abc directory. Compares file chap1 and chap2. Moves all the files to bin directory. Concatenates all the files beginning with chap and not ending with number. * does not match all files beginning with dot <.>. The above problem can be solved with specifying first few character using meta character <?> explicitly. Playing with file names which uses meta character in their file name. ls - l chap* Print all files whose names start with chap but not the one whose name is chap*. The above problem can be

[!x-z]

ls -l chap[!0 - 9]

ls *.ist cp chap?? abc cmp chap[12] mv * ../bin cat chap[!0 - 9]

ls -l * ls -l .???*

Escaping Backslash ( \ )

ls - l chap\*

solved by escaping the special character. Pipe | To pass the standard output of one command as the standard input to another. who | wc -l Output of who command <three users> passed as input to wc which count the number of lines present. Tee saves the output of who command in user list as well as display it also. Shell variables are initialized to null value < by default > so it returns null. All words starts with $ are considered as variable unless single quoted or escaped. a=ab, b=cd, z=$a$b. echo $z echo '$10' eg: $10 echo "$10" eg: 0 shell concatenate two variable. All words starts with $ are considered as variable unless single quoted or escaped. Shell is looking for $1 variable which is undefined so passes null for this. $1 is part of positional parameter.

Standards for ETL UNIX Shell Scripts for use with PowerCenter 7.1.3

Naveen undefined undefined undefined Share Standards for ETL UNIX Shell Scripts for use with PowerCenter 7.1.3 Scripting Standards (for PowerCenter version 7.1.3): Scripting standards include the use of a UNIX shell script, which the scheduling tool uses to start the PowerCenter job, and a separate file which contains the username and password for the user called in the script. The following is a template that should be used to create scripts for new scheduled jobs. Following is the script and explanation. This script has been provided as an example and is named etl_unix_shell_script.sh. # Program: etl_unix_shell_script.sh # Author: Kevin Gillenwater # Date: 7/24/2003 # Purpose: Sample UNIX shell script to load environment variables # needed to run PowerMart jobs, pass username and password variables # and start the job using the pmcmd command line. # # $1 = Project Id Parameter (ie. ud, hr, dss, siq, etc.) # # Example usage: etl_unix_shell_script.sh dss # # NOTE: Enter the Project ID parameter that is designated in the # directory structure for your team # (ie. dss would be used for the DWDAS team as the # directory is /usr/local/autopca/dss/) #-----------------------------------------------------------------

The beginning of each script should call and execute the script set_pm_var.sh to set up the PowerCenter variables used in the session (. /usr/local/bin/set_pm_var.sh). The set_pm_var.sh, located on each machine (Leisure for Production and Glance for Development), will provide ease of maintenance if changes need to be made to PowerCenter variables, and will provide one

source for the scripts on a machine. The following is the code in the script. You will not need to do anything with this script, it is for informational purposes only: # Program: set_pm_var.sh # Author: Kevin Gillenwater # Date: 7/3/2003 # Purpose: UNIX script which sets the variables for running PowerMart 6.2 # when called from a shell script (ie. script run by Autosys). #------------------------------------------#Set up the Informatica Variables #------------------------------------------export MACHINE=`hostname` export SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/pmserver/informatica/pm/infoserver export PM_HOME=/usr/local/pmserver/informatica/pm/infoserver #--------------------------------------------------------------------# Set the environment variables needed for scheduling jobs. # The value of JOBBASE differs based on the account. For AUTOSYS # and AUTODBA, the variable should evaluate to /usr/local/autopca. # For all other accounts, it should evaluate to their $HOME variable. #--------------------------------------------------------------------case $HOME in /home/autopca/autopca) JOBBASE=/usr/local/autopca ;; /home/autopca/autodba) JOBBASE=/usr/local/autopca ;; *) JOBBASE=$HOME ;; esac

export JOBBASE 2. The second section of etl_unix_shell_script.sh sets up ETL parameters for username and password usage by PowerCenter when running the workflow. The username and password are no longer stored as part of the main shell script. In the script example, the filename test_etl_config contains the username and password to be used when running the workflow. Following is the contents of test_etl_config: ETL_USER:etlguy ETL_PWD:ou812 This file (your password file) must be located in your team directory under the remote_accts folder (i.e. /usr/local/autopca/dss/remote_accts/). The folder permissions on the Production machine will only permit PCAs access to this folder. The permissions should be 6-4-0 (rw,r,-) on this file. 3. The third section of etl_unix_shell_script.sh contains the command to run the workflow in PowerCenter. Please follow the script exactly. The only thing that will need to be changed in this section is the folder name and the workflow within the folder that is being executed (i.e. ... DWDAS_LOAD_dssqa wflw_m_CENTER_INSTITUTE). 4. The final section of etl_unix_shell_script.sh contains code to trap the return code of the script that indicated success or failure.. *8/27/03 Added -wait parameter to the pmcmd command line to start the scheduled job. *10/6/04 - Updated to generalize the scheduling tool used to run the shell scripts as UC4 has been chosen to replace Autosys as the scheduling tool used to run PowerMart workflows.

Sample 1 :Interactive Shell scripts #SS1 #Usage : SS1 # An Interactive Shell Scripts

echo What is Your name\? read name echo Hello $name. Happy Programming. Instructions : Type the same in an Notepad and save the file with the extension (.sh) ./SS1 SS1:execute permission Denied (By default every file gets created with the permission 666 i.e., rw-rw-rw-). the next thing that we got to do is $umask 0022 ( with this we can read and write the file but we can execute it) $ chmod 744 SS1(with this option we get the read,write,execute option open up for our file).

Sample 2 : Arithmetic in Shell Scripts #SS2 #Usage : SS2 #Example of Arithmetic Operations a=20 b=10 echo expr $a + $b echo expr $a - $b echo exp $a * $b echo expr $a /$b on execution of this shell scripts we get the following output : 30 10

Regular Expressions Naveen undefined undefined undefined Share What Are Regular Expressions? A regular expression is a pattern template you define that a Linux utility Uses to filter text. A Linux utility (such as the sed editor or the gawk program)matches the regular expression pattern against data as that data flows Into the utility. If the data matches the pattern, its accepted for processing. If the data doesnt match the pattern, its rejected. The regular expression pattern makes use of wildcard characters to represent one or more characters in the data stream.

Types of regular expressions: There are two popular regular expression engines:
y y

The POSIX Basic Regular Expression (BRE) engine The POSIX Extended Regular Expression (ERE) engine

Defining BRE Patterns: The most basic BRE pattern is matching text characters in a data stream. Eg 1: Plain text $ echo "This is a test" | sed -n /test/p This is a test. $ echo "This is a test" | sed -n /trial/p $ $ echo "This is a test" | gawk /test/{print $0} This is a test. $ echo "This is a test" | gawk /trial/{print $0} $ Eg 2: Special characters The special characters recognized by regular expressions are: .*[]^${}\+?|() For example, if you want to search for a dollar sign in your text, just precede it with a backslash character: $ cat data2 The cost is $4.00 $ sed -n /\$/p data2 The cost is $4.00

$ Eg 3: Looking for the ending The dollar sign ($) special character defines the end anchor. $ echo "This is a good book" | sed -n /book$/p This is a good book $ echo "This book is good" | sed -n /book$/p $ Eg 4: Using ranges You can use a range of characters within a character class by using the dash symbol. Now you can simplify the zip code example by specifying a range of digits: $ sed -n /^[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]$/p data8 60633 46201 45902 $ Extended Regular Expressions: The POSIX ERE patterns include a few additional symbols that are used by some Linux applications and utilities. The gawk program recognizes the ERE patterns, but the sed editor doesnt. Eg 1: The question mark The question mark indicates that the preceding character can appear zero or one time, but thats all. It doesnt match repeating occurrences of the character: $ echo "bt" | gawk /be?t/{print $0} bt $ echo "bet" | gawk /be?t/{print $0}

Bet $ echo "beet" | gawk /be?t/{print $0} $ $ echo "beeet" | gawk /be?t/{print $0} $ Eg 2: The plus sign The plus sign indicates that the preceding character can appear one ormore times, but must be present at least once. The pattern doesnt match if the character is not present: $ echo "beeet" | gawk /be+t/{print $0} beeet $ echo "beet" | gawk /be+t/{print $0} beet $ echo "bet" | gawk /be+t/{print $0} bet $ echo "bt" | gawk /be+t/{print $0} $ Eg 3: The pipe symbol The pipe symbol allows to you to specify two or more patterns that the regular expression engine uses in a logical OR formula when examining the data stream. If any of the patterns match the data stream text, the text passes. If none of the patterns match, the data stream text fails. The format for using the pipe symbol is: expr1|expr2|... Heres an example of this: $ echo "The cat is asleep" | gawk /cat|dog/{print $0} The cat is asleep

$ echo "The dog is asleep" | gawk /cat|dog/{print $0} The dog is asleep $ echo "The sheep is asleep" | gawk /cat|dog/{print $0} $ Eg 4: Grouping expressions When you group a regular expression pattern, the group is treated like a standard character. You can apply a special character to the group just as you would to a regular character. For example: $ echo "Sat" | gawk /Sat(urday)?/{print $0} Sat $ echo "Saturday" | gawk /Sat(urday)?/{print $0} Saturday $

Process a File line by line Naveen undefined undefined undefined Share Process a File line by line : There are Numerous methods to achieve the same one such method is discussed here : Method 1: Lets start with the most common method that I see, which is catting a file and piping the file output to a while read loop. On each loop iteration a single line of text is read into a variable named LINE. This continuous loop will run until all of the lines in the file have been processed one at a time.

The pipe is the key to the popularity of this method. It is intuitively obvious that the output from the previous command in the pipe is used as input to the next command in the pipe. As an example, if I execute the df command to list file system statistics and it scrolls across the screen out of view, I can use a pipe to send the output to the more command, as in the following command:

df | more

When the df command is executed, the pipe stores the output in a temporary system file. Then this temporary system file is used as input to the more command, allowing me to view the df command output one page/line at a time. Our use of piping output to a while loop works the same way; the output of the cat command is used as input to the while loop and is read into the LINE variable on each loop iteration. Look at the complete function in Listing 2.2.

function while_read_LINE { cat $FILENAME | while read LINE do echo $LINE : done }

Each of these test loops is created as a function so that we can time each method using the shell script. You could also use () C-type function definition if you wanted, as shown in Listing 2.3.

while_read_LINE () { cat $FILENAME | while read LINE do echo $LINE : done }

Whether you use the function or () technique, you get the same result. I tend to use the function method more often so that when someone edits the script they will know the block of code is a function. For beginners, the word function helps understanding the whole shell script a lot. The $FILENAME variable is set in the main body of the shell script. Within the while loop notice that I added the no-op (:) after the echo statement. A no-op (:) does nothing, but it always has a 0, zero, return code. I use the no-op only as a placeholder so that you can cut the function code out and paste it in one of your scripts. If you should remove the echo statement and leave the noop, the while loop will not fail; however, the loop will not do anything either.
