I am just doing a project in college and my lecturer is looking for some impressive shell scripting. Has anyone got any ides or samples that i could use. Was thinking of something like grabbing all users and sending them message using write. But not sure where to start.
You could start here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html It's the bible for everyone that wants to do shell scripting.
well i was looking for either script to use write to send message to everyone that was online or some form of fork boom that would freez server for 2 - 3 min. or something else.. something that would impress my lecturer
There are lots of examples in http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html I'm sure you'll find something there that suits your needs (be sure to modify the script enough so that your lecturer is not going to recognize where you got the script from... ).
Heres a few http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ http://mercury.chem.pitt.edu/~sasha/LinuxFocus/English/September2001/article216.shtml http://research.imb.uq.edu.au/~ksteube/Bshell/ They helped me ALOT
