Bash – Variable indirection – Using variable contents as a(nother) variable name

Byetzion 20/03/2007

This was a tricky action. Assume I have a list of variables, obtained by an external source: var1=a var2=b var3=c I cannot use loop and in it the phrase ${var$i} (where i is the integer counter). It just doesn’t work. I used this instead to assign the values to an array: var[$i]=$(eval echo "${var${i}}") That…

Long while and not much to talk about

Byetzion 06/08/2005

I’ve been to our own little “August Penguin” just few days ago, and it wasn’t too good. I avoided the lectures (who needs secure rsync?!?), but sat and talked with friends about all kinda stuff. One of the advantages of such an event is that you get to meet lots of your linux-related friends, and…

Allow Postfix to call custom scripts by using mail aliases

Byetzion 11/01/202411/01/2024

Using custom mail aliases to run scripts is an existing practice. However, on modern Linux distributions it is blocked as a security risk. Following Postfix common guidelines do not allow for it to run the scripts. It reports the script as called, however – it does actually nothing. This has been verified on Oracle Linux…

Dial-up in Israel through Orange 3G

Byetzion 03/05/2008

I have set up a small script to allow me to dial-up using my cell to the internet. The speed of the 3G connection is quite amazing, and this information would assist, I’m sure, others as well.

  With pleasure 🙂
  This is the reason I have created nabrss. I should add more functionality into it, but I will do so as soon as I bother re-activating the nabaztags.
