Example Scripts

Setting Environment Variable

 #!/bin/bash
 
 for PROFILE in $(find /home/ -name .bash_profile)
 do
     if egrep -q '^(export[[:space:]]+)?EDITOR' $PROFILE
     then
        # User already set an editor, override that
        sed -i.orig -r 's/^(export[[:space:]]+)?EDITOR=.*/export EDITOR=nano/' $PROFILE
     else
         # No previous editor was set
         echo "export EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano" >>$PROFILE
     fi
 done

Setting Aliases

 #!/bin/bash
 
 for BASHRC in $(find /home/ -name .bashrc)
 do
     for ALIAS in "alias rm='rm -i'" "alias cp='cp -i'" "alias mv='mv -i'"
     do
         ALIAS_CMD=$(echo $ALIAS | cut -d= -f1)
         if ! egrep -q "^$ALIAS_CMD" $BASHRC
         then
             echo $ALIAS >>$BASHRC
         fi
     done
 done

Checking MD5s for SUID and SGID Executables

 #!/bin/bash
 # /root/bin or /usr/local/bin would be a good place for this script
 # Probably need to run this as root, otherwise many errors will show up about
 # permission problems with reading these files.
 NOTIFY_EMAIL=user@station.example.com
 
 # Assume (for now) that we already have a /etc/suid.md5 to compare new file to
 find / -type f -perm +6000 -exec md5sum {} \; >/etc/suid.md5.new
 
 if diff /etc/suid.md5 /etc/suid.md5.new &>/tmp/suid-check-diff.out
 then
     echo "No SUIDs have changed"
 else
     if [ "$1" = "interactive" ]
     then
         cat /tmp/suid-check-diff.out
         echo "Check FAILED!  SUID executable(s) have changed!"
         read -p "Is this okay? (yes/no) " RESPONSE
         if [ "$RESPONSE" = "yes" ]
         then
             mv /etc/suid.md5.new /etc/suid.md5
         fi
     else
         echo "Check FAILED!  SUID executable(s) have changed!" | mail -s "SUID Change" $NOTIFY_EMAIL
     fi
 fi

Checking URLs for New Content

 #!/bin/bash
 
 URL_FILE=$HOME/.content-check-urls
 URL_DIR=$HOME/.content-check
 
 if ! [ -d $URL_DIR ]; then
     mkdir $URL_DIR
 fi
 
 if ! [ -f $URL_FILE ]; then
     echo "new-content-check: $URL_FILE not found"
     exit 1
 fi
 
 for URL in $(cat $URL_FILE); do
     MD5_FILE=$URL_DIR/$(echo $URL | md5sum | cut -d' ' -f1)
 
     if [ -f $MD5_FILE ]; then
         # Looks like we´ve got an old version of this data, gotta check it
         links -dump "$URL" | md5sum > $MD5_FILE.new
         if ! diff $MD5_FILE $MD5_FILE.new &>/dev/null; then
             echo "New content at $URL"
             mv -f $MD5_FILE.new $MD5_FILE
         else
             rm $MD5_FILE.new
         fi
     else
         # No old version, just store the new sum
         links -dump "$URL" | md5sum > $MD5_FILE
     fi
 done
