C Shell Scripts

Sample 1

This file aim2voi.com shows the use of command line arguments in a CSH script.

#!/bin/csh
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
onintr end
if ($#argv < 1) goto usage
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aix $1.aim > $1.dsc
aic2voi $1.aim $1.voi
goto end
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
usage:
#
echo ""
echo "Usage:"
echo ""
echo "aim2voi aim_filename (without aim extension)"
echo "will create a voi and dsc file from an aim"
echo ""
#
exit
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
end:
exit
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sample 2

Similar to above, but aim2bid.com generates a temporary file called stack which is used as input.

#!/bin/csh
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
onintr end
if ($#argv < 4) goto usage
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
set i = $3
while ($i <= $4)
  set nr = $i
  if ($nr<10)  set nr = "0"$nr""
  if ($nr<100) set nr = "0"$nr""
#  if ($nr<1000) set nr = "0"$nr""
  echo "XY" >! stack
  echo "$i" >> stack
  echo "$5" >> stack
  if ($6 != "") then
    echo "0" >> stack
    aio $1 "$2"_"$nr".bid 14 < stack
    convert -size "$7" "$2"_"$nr".bid "$2"_"$nr"."$6"
    \rm -f "$2"_"$nr".bid
  else
    echo "2" >> stack
    aio $1 "$2"_"$nr".bid 14 < stack
  endif
  \rm -f stack
  @ i = $i + 1
end
goto end
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
usage:
#
echo ""
echo "Usage:"
echo ""
echo "aim2bid aim_filename bid_prefix first_slice last_slice scal_factor [form size])"
echo "                                (values are one-based)              gif/tif/..."
echo ""
#
exit
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
end:
exit
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sample 3

An example where a sequence of commands are executed resulting in an e-mail to let the user know that their job is finished.

#!/bin/csh
# 
nohup faim -s $1; /bin/csh -cbf "Mail -s 'JOB $1 FINISHED' boyd@kin < ~/adm/mailer/faimjob.txt" &

You would run this script called faim.com as follows

$ faim.com inputfile

Sample 4

This example uses two files. One called wrap.com is the base program that is called in a more general program called wrap_all.com so that many different files can be processed by the base script.

• wrap.com

#!/bin/csh

echo "0" >! stack
echo "0" >> stack
echo "0" >> stack

/home/skb/works/fio/aim_io $1.aim $1_sub.aim minimal 15 < stack

/rm -f stack

exit

• wrap_all.com

#!/bin/csh

~/works/com/wrap calgary_dog_aclx_03-04_med_fem_left
~/works/com/wrap calgary_dog_aclx_03-04_med_fem_right
~/works/com/wrap calgary_dog_aclx_03-04_med_tib_left
~/works/com/wrap calgary_dog_aclx_03-04_med_tib_right

echo "DONE!"
exit

Configuration Details

I include in the attachments my checklist I use for a Solaris 10 installation, adjusted to show only items particular to yours and not my entire decision tree. I added brief explanations for some of the items that might seem arbitrary otherwise.

Very similar decisions are made when installing any release of Linux, Solaris, MS Windows or yet another operating system - the details vary though.

http://docs.sun.com/ has all (too many) the details.

Install XEmacs

However, I would not install both Emacs and XEmacs at the same time. Nowadays, I highly recommend installing only one of them, with my preference given to XEmacs. Of course, only when there are no specialized Lisp packages that require Emacs.

Then my installation would be like below:

$ cd /cdrom/s10_software_companion/components/sparc/Packages
$ cat > /tmp/nointeraction
  mail=
  instance=unique
  partial=nocheck
  runlevel=nocheck
  idepend=nocheck
  rdepend=nocheck
  space=quit
  setuid=nocheck
  conflict=quit
  action=nocheck
  basedir=default

$ pkgadd -a /tmp/nointeraction -d . -n SFWbdb SFWgcc34l SFWxmacs

  Installation of <SFWxmacs> was successful.

$ emacs () { /opt/sfw/bin/xemacs $* ; }

$ pkgadd -a /tmp/nointeraction -d . -n SFWddd SFWgbin SFWgdb
