converting windows script into Linux?

[viki]

---

Hello all,

This is my first post in this forum. And I am a complete novice in linux scripting.

I have a windows script which runs successfully in win env. Now I want to run this same script on Linux. If somebody can convert below win script into Linux then it would be great.

echo Start running script

echo  ##### Setting variables #####
set MY_PATH=/opt/MYDir/bin
set LOG_HOME=/opt/MYDIR/logs

cmd /c "%MY_PATH%/setVars.sh"

for /f " tokens=1,2,3 delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do (
  set dd=%%i
  set mm=%%j
  set YY=%%k
)
for /f " tokens=1,2,3 delims=: " %%i in ('time /t') do (
  set xx=%%j
  set hh=%%i
  set zz=%%k
)

echo Début - %dd%/%mm%/%YY% à %hh%h%xx% > %LOG_HOME%\MY_data.log

echo  ##### Creating FUNCTION please check log at >> %LOG_HOME%\MY_data.log #####
cmd /c "%MY_PATH%\some-command -c updater.dtd -f my-categories.xml" >> %LOG_HOME%\MY_data.log

echo  ##### Creating Rules please check log at >> %LOG_HOME%\MY_data.log#####
cmd /c java com.my.company.JavaClass -option1 HELLO -option2 "my-rule.xml" >> %LOG_HOME%\MY_data.log

Thanks.

Bye,
Viki.

Sorry but we're not here to do your work. If you run into a specific problem we'll help you. These sites should help:

Linux/UNIX For DOS Users

and

Converting DOS Batch Files to Shell Scripts

A point of note: DOS Date setting is a pain and quite old fashioned. The date command in Unix is a lot better for specifying what you want and better yet it can be embedded directly into a command.

DOS

for /f " tokens=1,2,3 delims=: " %%i in ('time /t') do (
  set xx=%%j
  set hh=%%i
  set zz=%%k
)
echo Début - %dd%/%mm%/%YY%  > %LOG_HOME%\MY_data.log

Bash (Unix/Linux)

echo Début\ -\ $(date +%d/%m/%Y) > $LOG_HOME/MY_data.log

I've trimmed it a bit, it's just to give you a start. The link to the Advanced Bash Scripting guide above is the best place to start. If you understand DOS/NT command scripts you should take to it very quickly. The only problemwill be understanding how much more powerful BASH is compared to DOS!
