Bash Scripting on Linux (The Complete Guide) Class 08 - Universal Update Script

You are a very good teacher !
I like the way you explain
You are awesome
Thank you
I will recommend your channel in Moldova

I learn a lot from tour videos !

You give me great inspiration for my work. Many thanks.

I've been wanting to make a script for auto update for awhile. This is a huge step in the direction I want to go with my script. Trying to find a way to have it auto reboot if the upgrade command actually upgrades

It was really fun for me, I also added a line for CentOS as I am running this OS on my virtual machine with RPM package

Semi useful is a necessary step for newbies. Several intrinsic "tricks" of the trade in that script, things to own on the automatic level.

Thank you very much♥️

Useful script 👍

great video

Just curious, when you ran the grep -q “Ubuntu” your U was capitalized, but is evident that in the ID_LIKE section of the /etc/os-release file it’s there but lowercase. Had you searched for “ubuntu” instead of “Ubuntu” I believe it may have run the way it was intended. If I’m not mistaken? 8:48

Excellent

Men the word thanks it's not enough for you <3 👌

Thank you

👍Thanks!

good video

Do all distribution /etc/os-release files consistently contain the parameter ID_LIKE as operating system identifier?
I am using Zorin OS, and the os-release file contains:
ID=zorin
ID_LIKE=ubuntu

Great tutorial serie on bash! I have some questions. Wouldn't changing "Debian" to lower case "debian" grep all in os-release file on any system downstream from Debian (i.e Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS etc )work grepping from the ID_LIKE row, thus all deb-depending systems/OS'?
I added below to the script but with the first method, I couldn't find what to grep saying flatpak is/isn't installed (maybe you'll come to that later on).

If anyone is interested...
# If flatpak is installed on this system this should update flatpak apps
# add this variable on top: <extra_repos=/var/lib/flatpak>
if [ -d $extra_repos ]
then
# Additional repositories using flatpak
echo "Flatpak installed on system"
flatpak update
fi

Why does a script fail even if the example is followed to the detail... for instance a basic ldd lookup & grab dependencies script for bash in Context of creating a chroot environment

thnks bro

I have tried to write the following simple script:

#!/bin/bash

echo "What is your favorite color?"
read color

select_color () {
echo "What is your favorite color?"
read color
}

x=1


while [ $x -lt 10 ]
do
if [ "$color" = "red" ]
then

echo "Nice one......"

x=20

elif [ "$color" \= "red" ]
then
echo "Pick another color......."
select_color

fi
done


I cannot get it to run on my linux. I intentionally pick a color other than red, but tt stops at the while loop but never runs the procedure on how to pick another color. I also tried red and same thing, it does not tell me nice one. Could you show me where I am going wrong?

Thanks
