I have a problem with bash script. I am backing up the devices. I wrote simple bash script, which will download files. Indeed, wildcard is not working so I am doing that manual way. When I variable device, it is not included in filelog, filebackup or fileexport variable. Can you help me please? I am including code.



 #!/bin/bash
user="admin"
address="IP"
#command will get devcie hostname in complex form 
ssh $user@$address '/system identity print interval=' > devices

#will get device hostname
tmpDevices=$(cat devices)
device=$(echo $tmpDevices | awk ' print $2 ')
echo "Device hostname is $device"

#custom months names
day=$(date +%d)
mon=$(date +%m)
if [ $mon == 12 ]
then

When I run the script, it will shows me devices as Mikrotik, but is not included in variable. The output is _dec06log.txt etc.



Thank you.

  • When you run the script, the string Mikrotik shows up to your screen, but does not end up in the device variable & filename?

    There is no variable devices. There is a file devices and a variable device. If the file devices contains only MikroTik, what do you expect awk ' print $2 ' to produce?

  • @AdrianBardossy, awk 'print $2' does not reduce two lines of text to one. Please edit your question to include the full content of the file devices. If the second line contains the hostname (and nothing else), you can use tail -1 to output only the last line.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
