I am writing a small shell cript to help me in managing virtual domains.
After I register a new domain, I have to enter the following details
about it in a MySQL database:
domain name
domain passwd
max popboxes
default forwarder
(those who have used vmail-sql know about this)
Now in my script I am reading the domain name from stdin (??
echo Entering domain name in MySQL DB:
echo ""
domain_name=
echo -n Please supply the domain name to activate:
read domain_name
The domain name can be domain.com or the domain.co.ke but I am interested
in the part before the first (.) so that I can manipulate some parameter
with it.
How do I get that alone in a shell after I've read the domain name into
a variable??
Trying to invent the wheel here, I am sure, with the things I wanna do ;)
Thanks
-Wash
