自动化Linux软件安装

Question

I have a set of steps I follow in Linux which are as follows :

1. Unzip a folder located at path /home/xyzuser/temp/File.zip to /home/xyzuser/source/
2. I then navigate to source using "cd /home/xyzuser/source/File"
3. I find the listing of folders here using "find . -type d > hierarchy.txt"

4. Remove a few directories in hierarchy.txt that are more than 5 folders deep .

   For example , if there is /level1/level2/level3/level4/level5/thisShouldBeRemoved , I manually delete this entry from the hierarchy.txt file

5. Now copy a third python file from /home/xyzuser/temp/ to /home/xyzuser/source/File. I make a few changes in this Python file and run it.

6. Then I issue a command to execute a 3rd party tool in the command line.

   I worked with Java and don't really see how to automate this in Java. But I feel shell , Perl or Python would help develop a single script which I can run to automate this entire process. Can anyone give me a direction where I should begin exploring to start this stuff. Is there any way of packaging the above Linux commands I give in the terminal and running them at once?

Answer 1

read manual for unzip, cd, cp, mv for all other steps

for step 4 you can use the following code

    for line in $(find . -type d)
        do
            levels=`echo $line|grep -o "/"|wc -l `
            if [ $levels -le 5 ] then 
                echo $line >> hierarchy.txt
            fi
        done
