[NMLUG] Couple of samba questions.
I can't help you with the samba, but I do have a suggestion for the file updates.
Although you can use sed to replace a line or portion of a line, unless the
.ini file is *really* long, or they aren't all the same, just insert a new file.
The pseudo-code is something like this:
LIST = find .ini files
for FILE in LIST ; do
cp FILE FILE.bak
cp new.file.ini FILE
done
If you do use sed, the syntax is:
sed 's/oldexp/newexp/g' filename
You can use literal expressions, probably what you need, or regular expressions.
The 's' is for substitute and the 'g' is for global. Without the 'g', only the
first occurrence will be replaced.
To get up to speed on shell scripting and regular expressions, I recommend _Sams
Teach Yourself Shell Programming in 24 Hours_. We've used here at the college
for a couple years now in our scripting class with good results.
Hope this helps.
