Useless cat award. Instead of
cat file | grep rootpw
use

No, my previous example was precise. The bash needs to echo the variable read
(or ${REPLY} if no variable was given on the read command), because the output
of the bash command is what takes the place of the command substitution in the
csh. The quoting needs care to get right, too.
set req=`bash -c 'read -s -t 10 ;echo "${REPLY}"'`

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] timeout display for input prompt
great! that works. but i have another problem. i'm using prompt in secured
way as "read -s -t 10" but I need to store the output in one variable. as
below. but nothing is storing in $req variable
#!/bin/csh
set pass=`cat file | grep rootpw | grep -o '".*"' | sed 's/"//g'`
if ( "$pass" == "edjos" ) then
echo "You are at default password. kindly change the password in
10secs……."
set req=`bash -c 'read -s -t 10'`
echo $req
if ( "$req" == "" ) then
echo "No password entered. So continuing with default password"
else
sed -i.bak "/rootpw/s/edjos/$req/" file
endif
endif

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] timeout display for input prompt
If it has to be pure csh (without any helpers), you're probably out of luck,
because csh is crippled when it comes to scripting.
You could probably use a command substitution on a one-liner of your bash from
the csh script:
#! /bin/csh
set myvar=`bash -c 'read -t 10 ;echo "${REPLY}"'`
echo "$myvar"
For anything much trickier, getting the quoting right will be a killer, so the
helper should probably be a separate bash script.
Picking csh to script it is just wrong, because it has too many missing
capabilities, isn't predictable enough in how it behaves, doesn't necessarily
behave as portably as other shells, etc.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] timeout display for input prompt
hi Team, Im trying create a csh script. requirement: when i script runs it asks for user input. prompt should wait for 10secs. if not then exit the script. i have solution for bash script where i can use read -t 10 username. but i want same in csh ``` #!/bin/csh echo -n "username:" set req = $< echo "username is $req" sed -i.bak "/rootpw/s/edjos/$req/" /boot/loader.conf ``` and for advance level, the message should look like "prompts end in 10(this number should decrease and lively should visible the timeout secs)" ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
