Bash script help

Here's my script so far:

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash

cd /var/backups/System/
chmod 444 Themes.zip
chown nobody:mobile Themes.zip

exit 0

---

What I need is a if statement for the application Cydia kinda like this:

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash

declare -a cydia
cydia=($CYDIA)

if [[ $! == remove ]]; then
* * #FIXME: this may need to be changed when we have updates
* * SpireRemover

* * # force a reboot after uninstallation
* * if [[ ${CYDIA+at symbol} ]]; then
* * eval "echo 'finish:reboot' >&${cydia[0]}"

* * fi
fi

exit 0

---

But I want a finsih restart on install and uninstall if possible?

what will calling $CYDIA run/do?

i'm pretty sure that your "$!" line will never equal 'remove'. The $! always returns the exit status of the last command run in Bash; a numerical value, usually 0 for success and 1 for failure. even if it did return some string, you'd want to encase the match string in quotes, e.g. == "remove"

maybe the command is echoing something to the terminal?

i for one have no idea what finish:reboot and finish:restart mean, without providing more context.

i'm fairly certain we can help you w/your problem, but we need more info first. You can start by answering these questions:

What *exactly* do you want your script to do?

What is CYDIA and what does it do, or how do you use/call it?

This cydia.saurik.com is Cydia and I want this

Code:

---

# force a reboot after uninstallation
* * if [[ ${CYDIA+at symbol} ]]; then
* * eval "echo 'finish:reboot' >&${cydia[0]}"

---

to be a restart instead of a reboot.

Hi.

Some details for responders:

Cydia is an alternative to Apple's App Store for "jailbroken" devices, at this time including iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches, specializing in the distribution of all that is not an "app".

Cydia is not available in Apple's App Store, nor is it a website: it is installed on your device using a "jailbreaking" tool, such as redsn0w or Absinthe.

Yes it's the actual code and it's giving Cydia a command

do you literally just want to change the text that says "reboot" to "restart"? or is it something deeper than that? If the former, can you not open this script in an editor (gedit, nedit, vi, etc.) and just change the "reboot" to "restart" and save it?

look at this thread that talks about cydia for reference.
