Create a bash script

That linked guide is one of the easier examples for bash shell scripts http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/284789-writing-a-simple-bash-script- can not get any easier to be honest

it's basically add to top of file

Code:

#/bin/bash

then list your commands below

Code:

#/bin/bash
your commands

i.e. commands to download and install .06 stable release outlined at http://centminmod.com/download.html would become

Code:

#/bin/bash
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://centminmod.com/download/centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.06.zip

unzip centmin-v1.2.3-eva2000.06.zip
cd centmin-v1.2.3mod
chmod +x centmin.sh

yum -y install bc wget yum-plugin-fastestmirror
yum clean all

./centmin.sh

 

bash won't recognise line breaks, so no difference either way

yes it's sequential order according to command listed so you could technically add more commands afterwards but not if you have ./centmin.sh as that invokes the menu.

If using .07 beta you can

change the line

from

Code:

./centmin.sh

to

Code:

./centmin.sh install

to bypass menu based install for CLI unattended install
If you download .07 beta21 zip you will see an installer.sh file which is basically a more advanced version of what I listed above for installing .07 beta21 via installer.sh

 

use either nano or vim linux text editors

For nano linux text editor, you can read up more about nano here and here.

 

yeah you can use sed to replace lines too which Centmin Mod uses alot of

Practice and trial and error only way - setup test VPS or install Virtualbox on local pc to setup CentOS for testing Centmin Mod and bash scripting

 

Nice intro to sed http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/11/unix-sed-tutorial-append-insert-replace-and-count-file-lines/

i.e. if original test.txt file had

Code:

1
2
3
4

insert before 4th line

Code:

sed -i "4i 5" test.txt        

cat test.txt         
1
2
3
5
4

insert after 4th line

Code:

sed -i "4a 6" test.txt 
cat test.txt         
1
2
3
5
6
4

 

sed -i modifies the file already

 

The ultimate bash guide at http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/

section on sed

• http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_05_03.html

 

would end up as

Code:

sed -i "1c replace 1" test.txt   

cat test.txt                  
replace 1
2
3
