I have the following script:



/bin/sh

echo  "Compare Ran" $(date) >> /var/log/ran.log

if cmp -s "/var/log/ip.log" "/etc/wanip.log"

then

   echo "Wan Check Ran" | /var/log/ran.log

else

   echo "WARNING IP CHANGE" | sendmail *********@email.****.net

fi


If the 2 files don't match the script works great but if the 2 files match I get the following output:



/var/log/ran.log: 1: /var/log/ran.log: wanip.sh: not found

/var/log/ran.log: 2: /var/log/ran.log: wanip.sh: not found

This line of code is trying to execute '/var/log/ran.log' as a script



echo "Wan Check Ran" | /var/log/ran.log


While I believe that you want to add the string "Wan Check Ran" to the log. Therefore you should



echo "Wan Check Ran" >> /var/log/ran.log

            mysqli_query(): Empty query in /home/lucindabrummitt/public_html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1924

            0 I just uploaded a new plugin to my wordpress site and I got this warning: mysqli_query(): Empty query in /home/lucindabrummitt/public_html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1924 Usually if I have a problem, I can find answers on google but this one seems pretty particular and I'm not finding any info on it except for this forum. I'm not terribly techie but if someone can tell me how to read this and how to change it I can follow directions pretty well. Thanks All! PS If I don't have the proper tags here could someone add the appropriate tags? php mysql wordpress share | improve this question asked Nov 16 '18 at 20:41 ...

            How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

            Image
            3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

            Image
            0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"...
