In our CAD lab we have several Sparc IPC's mounting /home from a
server. In my shell, I like to keep a .trashcan type thing that all
my "rm'ed" files get moved into. When I log out, I want to blow all
this stuff away. The way I figured out how to do it works, but it
seems kinda awkward to me. Is there a more efficient/"better" way I
could do this? (My shell is GNU bash, basically sh syntax)
us=`hostname`
hosts='uther ulan unction' # the three machines we presently have
for me in `echo $hosts | sed "s/${us}//"`
do
echo -n "Checking "
echo $me
if rusers $me | grep $LOGNAME >& /dev/null
then
echo "Still logged in on ${me}. Not removing trash."
kill -9 $$
fi
done
if [ `who | grep ${LOGNAME} | wc -l` -eq 1 ]
then
echo -n "Emptying the trash..."
/bin/rm -rf ~/tmp
echo "done"
echo
/usr/games/fortune
echo "Outta here.............."
else
echo "Still logged in on this machine, not removing trash"
fi
Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. I'm just starting to
learn shell programming, so this is probably really inefficient and
slow.
