Online / Offline Status Notification System via push

alexus

Ok, i got too much work till the end of the next week but I will try to fonish the first release ASAP, but not sure when… I can do it faster , w/o any server goodies, so that the device just populates the status on the server and you can view list of all devicess... no user accounts or stuff like that... thats what I have so far... I need to add user account and account managmant on the sever.. + configure te doman etc

grep makes me crazy reading the file!!!! Why the thingy doesnt work?

Im getting "World: not found"


USERNAME=grep 'World' /usr/local/StatusNotifier/var/status_notifier_conf.php; 
echo "Username: $USERNAME";

And here is the content of the file:


	$lrc_box_name = "";
	$lrc_box_location = "Bk";
	$lrc_box_comments = "Main Test Site on Wall";
// Hello World this is a test of grep file serach 
	?>

Any Ideas why it doesnt work?

Try


USERNAME=`grep World /usr/local/StatusNotifier/var/status_notifier_conf.php`

yay, it did work! Tnx
I guess BSD treats quotations diferently from Linux too

alexus

One more question:
How can I strip begining and ending character of the string?
Like I have username variable shrown as "username" (quotes are shown) and I want to strip out quotes

sullrich

echo "'username'" | cut -d"'" -f2

or

echo '"username"' | cut -d'"' -f2

alexus
