Utility: Linux Admining

[Gandalf Parker]

Im rather proud of this altho it will make others cringe at its ugliness. I wanted a way for people to check which games need players. Doing an "ls" of the game directory from a CGI was easy enough but I realized that instead of using "ls" of the directorys as fact that the game exists, I should use the "ps". Then starting a game will automatically cause it to show, and if a game finishes or crashes then it will automatically not appear. I also arranged for it to pull the port from the ps display and show that.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Content-type: text/html"

echo -e "\n\n"



echo "<H2><b>Dominions 3 Blitz games</b></H2>"

echo "These are 2-player games on tiny maps<br>"

echo '<a href="http://host.dom3minions.com/how-to.html">how to join a game</a><b

r><br>'





cd /home/dom3/dominions3/savedgames

 ps ax |grep dom3|grep bl_ | \

while read n n n n n n game n port n n n n n n n n era n

do

 echo "era $era game <b>$game</b> on port <b>$port</b><br>"

  cd $game

  for fyle in `ls -1 *.2h`

    do

      echo $fyle "<br>"

    done

  cd /home/dom3/dominions3/savedgames

 echo "<br>"

done
