I've come up with a cool script that will produce the output that I need, but it only displays on the screen, so I have to copy, then paste in the commands to get them to execute. Here's the abbreviated version of my script:
#!/bin/bash runc=/etc/csf/csf.pl -d for IP in `tail -400 iptext.txt` do cc=`geoiplookup $IP` echo -e $runc $IP $cc | grep Algeria echo -e $runc $IP $cc | grep Argentina echo -e $runc $IP $cc | grep Armenia echo -e $runc $IP $cc | grep Azerbaijan echo -e $runc $IP $cc | grep Bolivia echo -e $runc $IP $cc | grep Brazil done Okay, so it loops through the list of IP addresses in iptext.txt, then does a geoIP lookup on each, if (in this example) there are two geoIP matches in the list, let's say for Armenia and Brazil, I will see output like this to the shell window:
/etc/csf/csf.pl -d 46.162.242.17 GeoIP Country Edition: AM, Armenia /etc/csf/csf.pl -d 200.147.38.50 GeoIP Country Edition: BR, Brazil This is great, but I want more than just output, I actually want the /etc/csf/csf.pl -d command to run, and block (just and only) the IP in the lines that match the country name, in the list.
I've tried various things with my limited knowledge of shell scripting, but so far, nothing seems to work. So is there some option for ECHO I am missing that would actually run the command rather than just printing out the line?

echo command in linux is used to display line of text/string that are passed as an argument . This is a built in command that is mostly used in shell scripts and batch files to output status text to the screen or a file. In above example, text after \c is not printed and omitted trailing new line.
The echo command writes text to standard output (stdout). The syntax of using the echo command is pretty straightforward: echo [OPTIONS] STRING... Some common usages of the echo command are piping shell variable to other commands, writing text to stdout in a shell script, and redirecting text to a file.
The echo command is a built-in Linux feature that prints out arguments as the standard output. echo is commonly used to display text strings or command results as messages.
The echo command is used to display a line of text that is passed in as an argument. This is a bash command that is mostly used in shell scripts to output status to the screen or to a file.
Just put your command into parenthesis like this:
echo $(ls) You can also have text before the command
echo "The date is $(date)" For Example
echo "Enter Text Here $(Command Here)" A simple way that won't need modification of your script would be to pipe the command's output to another bash instance. Like this:
yourscript | bash - The - tells bash that it should read commands from stdin.
However, if you are not searching for a quick solution, it is possible to build and execute the command dynamically as well. Like this:
cmd="ls" if [ "foo" != "bar" ] ; then cmd="$cmd -a" then # ... and so on # now execute it: $cmd If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
