want to pass to php, but for some reason it isn't working... can
someone help me? here is example

#!/bin/sh

i=127.0.0.1

php -r 'geoip_country_ name_by_name($i );'

In bash, single quotes mean "do not parse variables". Try double quotes.
Also, PHP require quotes around strings.

Alternatively tell PHP where to find the variable:

php -r 'geoip_country_ name_by_name($_ ENV[\'i\']);'

Hi all, I have a perl program which makes a user exit to the O/S (unix, solaris) to issue a O/S command. I know that the shell it invokes is NOT a korn shell, because I captured the shell info into a file with a 'ps' command. My question is "How to explicitly specify a Korn shell to be used by perl?" Eg of my perl code: ## Begin code snippet..

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help with calling external shell script in c++. Basically, in the shellscript, I want to pass src, dst, md5. If the src's md5 matches md5 given, it will be link to the dst, if ln fails, copy src to dst. If success, return 0, if fails, return 1. I tried both system, and execvp(fork) to work on it. As execvp never returns, so it cannot tell whether the shell script successfully performs or not. Even there is...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
