Message: 49563 Hello all,

I am not able to figure out how to run shell scripts on uClinux ported on BF537 stamp board.

If anybody has any clue please reply.

The script I am trying to run is:

#! /bin

ftp 192.168.1.7

test2

testmyo2

get test.txt

BTW are there any loops available for shell scripting lke while ,for etc.

What exactly is the process to get a script running from a local directory in uClinux.

#!/bin/sh

and then make sure you have privileges to execute the thing

(chmod 777 your_script.sh)

and then execute:

./your_script

Hope this helps

That shell script will not work on a desktop - why would you expect to have it work on a Blackfin?

you can not use an interactive application (ftp) in a shell script.

If you want to grab a file, use wget - which is non-interactive.

Message: 49574 Thanks Bill.

I have tried what you have mentioned and all other variants also....like #!/bin/sh , #!/sbin/sh etc.

Robin thanks for your response.

I will try that wget thing and from the docs about wget I think it will do what i am trying to achieve.

I just checked one of my scripts and it actually has #!/bin/bash but I think it should work either way, some interactive commands/applications have switches that you can pass in so that they don't interact and will work in scripts. i2cdetect for example usually prompts the user, but if you pass it a -y it won't do that and will work in a script.

As Robin said and I didn't even notice, I don't think any amount of finesse is going to get FTP to work in a script.

Message: 49705 about the interactuive commands, i was wrong and anyways wget allows me to do the thing i needed to do .

its just that i am not able to run scripts. may be because it is due to what you have mentioned.

I am not an expert at scripting, just started so sorry if I make a silly mistake.

I will try that out and will tell you all the feedback.

thanks
