Time Narration
00:01 Dear friends, welcome to the spoken tutorial onAdvance topics in a function .
00:08 In this tutorial, we will learn:
00:11 source command To put a function in the background
00:14 with the help of some examples.
00:18 To follow this tutorial, you should have knowledge of Shell Scripting in BASH.
00:24 If not, for relevant tutorials, please visit our website which is as shown. http://spoken-tutorial.org/What_is_a_Spoken_Tutorial
00:30 For this tutorial, I am using:
00:32 * Ubuntu Linux 12.04 Operating System and
00:36 * GNU BASH version 4.2
00:40 Please note, GNU Bash version 4 or above is recommended for practice.
00:46 source command is used to load a file into Shell script.
00:53 It reads and executes commands from that file.
00:58 It also imports code into the script.
01:01 This is useful when multiple scripts use a common data or a function library.
01:09 The syntax for source command is as follows-
01:12 source filename
01:15 source Path_to_file
01:18 souce filename arguments.
01:22 Let me open a file 'function dot sh'.
01:26 This is theshebang line.
01:29 source detail dot sh will load the file detail dot sh into function dot sh.
01:37 Let me open detail dot sh file.
01:41 I have a function machine.
01:44 Now, type inside the function-
01:47 echo "function machine is called in function dot sh file" .
01:52 Click on Save.
01:54 Now let us go back to function dot sh file.
01:59 Here, type: echo “Beginning of program”.
02:04 Click on Save.
02:06 Then type: machine echo “End of program”.
02:12 This will print the message “Beginning of program”.
02:16 machine is the function call.
02:19 And this will print the message End of program.
02:23 Note that machine is the function which we created in the detail dot sh file.
02:29 And we are calling the function, here, in function dot sh file.
02:34 Now click on Save.
02:36 Let us execute the program.
02:41 So, type on the terminal: chmod space plus (+) x space function dot sh
02:51 Press Enter.
02:53 Type: dot slash function dot sh
02:56 Press Enter.
02:59 The output is displayed.
03:02 Now let's move on to background function.
03:06 To run a process in the background, we use & (ampersand) at the end of a function call.
03:13 The shell forks a child process to run the command.
03:19 The forked process will have a job number and a PID (Process Identifier).
03:27 Let us understand this with the help of an example. I will open the file background dot sh.
03:35 This is the shebang line.
03:38 bg underscore function marks the beginning of the function.
03:44 The echo statement here displays the message "Inside bg_function”.
03:50 Next, we will use the find command to find all the dotmp3 files.
03:57 This statement will find all the files with the extension dot mp3.
04:03 It will do so in the current working directory.
04:07 Hyphen iname is used to ignore the case.
04:11 And the result is stored in myplaylist.txt.
04:16 Now, type: bg underscore function ampersand(&). This is the function call. '&'(Ampersand) puts 'bg_function' in the background.
04:28 Now click on Save.
04:31 Let us execute the program.
04:34 Come back to the terminal.
04:37 Type: chmod space plus x space background dot sh
04:45 Press Enter.Now, type: dot slash background dot sh
04:51 Press Enter.
04:53 Blank output indicates dot mp3 file is not present in current directory.
05:02 Now, come back to our program.
05:05 Type: echo (hyphen) -e "Process running in background are: backslash n" and jobs space hyphen l
05:19 Click on Save.
05:21 This echo statement will display the message “Process running in background are ”.
05:28 jobs space hyphen l lists the status of all background jobs.
05:34 Now come back to our terminal.
05:38 Now, type: dot slash background.sh.
05:42 Press Enter.
05:44 The output is shown.
05:48 Here, one within opening and closing square bracket is the job number.
05:53 3962 is the PID.
05:57 PID will vary accordingly.
06:01 If the function takes time to execute, it will run the process in the background
06:06 and we will see the status as "Running".
06:11 If the function gets executed before the script, we will see the status as "Done".
06:20 The output will vary from machine to machine.
06:23 This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
06:28 Let us summarize.In this tutorial, we learned:
06:32 * Source command
06:34 * To put a function in the background
06:36 with the help of some examples.
06:39 As an assignment:Write a function add to add two numbers and call the function in another file.
