Shell Script Help

[mudasir]

AOA,

I am making a script which reads variables from another file. I have accomplished almost all the tasks, only unable to complete one.

What i am doing is that the user will enter IP Address Ranges seperated by space in a variable IP like this

Code: Select all

echo Please Enter IP Ranges Seperated By Space.
read IP
echo -e "IP=$IP" >> /scripts/firewall/firewall.conf

The Input By user can by like 10.10.10 10.10.11 10.10.12
Now the file /scripts/firewall/firewall.conf looks like

IP=10.10.10 10.10.11 10.10.12

Now the file which is retrieving the variables from /scripts/firewall/firewall.conf has code similar to.

Code: Select all

cat /scripts/firewall/firewall.conf | awk '/IP/' | cut -d"=" -f2 

This code is working prefectly.

What i want to do is that count the IP Ranges enter by the user.
In the above example like i enter 3 IP Ranges.

Now what my script should do is that count the IP Ranges and create Variables like IP1 IP2 IP3 and so on till the number of IP Ranges reaches, and each IP Range should have the Range Entered by the User like IP1=10.10.10 IP2=10.10.11 IP3=10.10.12

How can i achieve this.

Looking Forward For Your Replies.

Code: Select all

n=1
for i in `cat /scripts/firewall/firewall.conf | awk '/IP/' | cut -d"=" -f2`
do
     echo "IP$n=$i"
     let "n=$n+1"
done

AOA,

Dear x2oxen,

The script is in testing process right now, as soon the testing is complete, i will share the script with LP Members.

Its basically a FIREWALL script but its a bit more user friendly.

It has a ./install script as well, which will install the firewall.

AOA,

Dear LP Members,

I have made a Firewall Script. Download the Firewall Script from

http://www.mediafire.com/?4milupsy0tm

Then follow these Steps.

Before doing any thing Read the ReadMe file.

1. After Downloading untar the file by "tar -xvzf firewall.tar.gz"
2. Then goto the Firewall Directory "cd firewall"
3. Then run the install script "./install"
4. Enter All the Things Asked by the Install Script.

Please Dont run the Install Script again and again, If you miss something, Please Read the ReadMe file.

This script is Still a Beta Version, under testing..
