linux - How to exit tail -f and resume script -


i have simple script, sets logging, runs tail -f on log file , then, after exit tail, performs cleanup. this

echo 'monitoring started' tail -f /var/log/some.log echo 'never gets here'

problem is, exiting tail ctrl+c breaks script execution too, cleanup not called. there way 'properly' exit tail , resume script call? found few solutions based on saving pid , killing timeout, that's not want here, may need monitoring few minutes or few hours, i'd have manual switch.

you can this

echo "monitoring started" tail -f /var/log/some.log & #execute tail in background read -sn 1 #wait user input kill %1 #kill first background progress, i.e. tail echo "is reached"

Unlimited choices in BASH case statement -

consider simple bash snippet: case $option in 1) image=${options[0]%.tar} ;; 2) image=${options[1]%.tar} ;; 3) image=${options[2]%.tar} ;; 4) image=${options[3]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" exit 1 esac in real script numbers goes 30. makes pretty long. can somehow specify cases variable? something this: case $option in $i) image=${options[$(($i-1))]%.tar} any pointer appreciated. you can match against multiple patterns in single clause: case $option in 1|2|3: echo "$option one, 2 or three" ;; esac if still typing you, can use simple pattern matching: case $option in # following matches # - single-digit numbers 0-9 # - two-digit numbers starting either 1 or 2 # - number 30 [0-9]|[12][0-9]|30) image=${options[$(($option-1))]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" 1>&2 exit 1 esac
