sh/bash -- find all files with the word java in them

[s243a]

This is my first attempt at a bash or an sh script

Code: Select all

for aFile in `find /etc`; do
  found=0
  #echo "Entering $aFile"
  for line in `grep '^.*java.*$' -i -x $aFile`; do
    if [ $found -eq 0 ]; then
       echo "File = $aFile"
      let found=1
    fi
    #echo "Line = $line"
  done
done

here is the output:

Code: Select all

File = /etc/hosts
grep: /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/The: No such file or directory
grep: Free: No such file or directory
grep: Network: No such file or directory
grep: Project.menu: No such file or directory
File = /etc/mime.types
grep: /etc/init.d/binfmt-support: No such file or directory
File = /etc/modprobe.d/puppy.conf
File = /etc/hiawatha/mimetype.conf
File = /etc/gitweb.conf
File = /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/in
File = /etc/services

**Notes
1. I couldn't figure out how to use the variables true and fase so I used one and zero instead.
2. grep seems to give an error when passed a broken symbolic link. I need a way to suppress this.

If your curious why I wrote the script. I was wondering where the java library search path might be stored. My puppy version is "precise". I recently installed libsvn-java (i.e. javaHL) which is a library required for eclipse to import from a git repository. The puppy package manager installed this at:

/usr/lib/jni

This was not in the java search path as seen by eclipse. According to:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL

I can tell eclipse where this is by including the following line in the eclipse.ini file:

Code: Select all

-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni

However, if you want to include the locations within LD_LIBRARY_PATH as well then one should instead use:

Code: Select all

-Djava.library.path="${workspace_loc:project}\lib;${env_var:PATH}"

according to:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6613 ... instead-of

Therefore, I think I should have searched instead for "LD_LIBRARY_PATH". As for making perminant environmental variable changes

In another thread they suggested editing either "/etc/profile.local" or "/etc/profile.d/". Maybe I'll think about how to do this.

Much, much, much faster and shorter:
grep '^.*java.*$' /etc/*

[MochiMoppel]

grep -rl java /etc/*

Hi @s243a,
Congrats with a nice first attempt at a script. I suspect you have some knowledge in programing in another language so therefor I will just point you to som nice resources in shell/bash scripting.
http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/ Also take a look at the sed and awk section.
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.htmlBrows trough and easy lookup.
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html atleast if you include it in a search to find the right page.
I keep a copy of the two last ones on my lookal disk to do quick searches.

Best regards
Uten

I just found today what looks like a great linux reference:
