# # @(#)dotsh.pl 03/19/94 # # Author: Charles Collins # # Description: # This routine takes a shell script and 'dots' it into the current perl # environment. This makes it possible to use existing system scripts # to alter environment variables on the fly. # # Usage: # &dotsh ('ShellScript', 'DependentVariable(s)'); # # where # # 'ShellScript' is the full name of the shell script to be dotted # # 'DependentVariable(s)' is an optional list of shell variables in the # form VARIABLE=VALUE,VARIABLE=VALUE,... that 'ShellScript' is # dependent upon. These variables MUST be defined using shell syntax. # # Example: # &dotsh ('/tmp/foo', 'arg1'); # &dotsh ('/tmp/foo'); # &dotsh ('/tmp/foo arg1 ... argN'); # sub dotsh { local(@sh) = @_; local($tmp,$key,$shell,$command,$args,$vars) = ''; local(*dotsh); undef *dotsh; $dotsh = shift(@sh); @dotsh = split (/\s/, $dotsh); $command = shift (@dotsh); $args = join (" ", @dotsh); $vars = join ("\n", @sh); open (_SH_ENV, "$command") || die "Could not open $dotsh!\n"; chop($_ = <_SH_ENV>); $shell = "$1 -c" if ($_ =~ /^\#\!\s*(\S+(\/sh|\/ksh|\/zsh|\/csh))\s*$/); close (_SH_ENV); if (!$shell) { if ($ENV{'SHELL'} =~ /\/sh$|\/ksh$|\/zsh$|\/bash$|\/csh$/) { $shell = "$ENV{'SHELL'} -c"; } else { print "SHELL not recognized!\nUsing /bin/sh...\n"; $shell = "/bin/sh -c"; } } if (length($vars) > 0) { system "$shell \"$vars;. $command $args; set > /tmp/_sh_env$$\""; } else { system "$shell \". $command $args; set > /tmp/_sh_env$$\""; } open (_SH_ENV, "/tmp/_sh_env$$") || die "Could not open /tmp/_sh_env$$!\n"; while (<_SH_ENV>) { chop; m/^([^=]*)=(.*)/s; $ENV{$1} = $2; } close (_SH_ENV); system "rm -f /tmp/_sh_env$$"; foreach $key (keys(%ENV)) { $tmp .= "\$$key = \$ENV{'$key'};" if $key =~ /^[A-Za-z]\w*$/; } eval $tmp; } 1;
