How do i awk all documnt root directorys in httpd.conf then mkdir img2 1

[farley99]

I want to grep all directories in the lines like
DocumentRoot /home/a/public_html

Then mkdir /home/username/public_html/img2 for everyones document root directory.

Got any tips?

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@emasdfsdf.org
DocumentRoot /home/a/public_html
User abefro
Group abefro
ServerName localhost
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/a/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>

How about

awk '/^DocumentRoot/ {
  system("mkdir " $2 "/img")
}

You might want to follow this up with some chown/chmod calls to make sure the directory you create has the correct ownership and permissions.

It tried that but go this error....
root@marge [/usr/local/apache/conf]# ./ss
awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `{' for reading (No such file or directory)
./ss: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `&quot;'
./ss: line 2: ` system(&quot;mkdir &quot; $2 &quot;/img&quot'

If you're just storing the program in a file, rather than executing it from the command line, then you need

#!/bin/awk -f
/^DocumentRoot/ {
  system("mkdir " $2 "/img")
}

If thats not it, you'd better post what's in your ./ss file

THANKS!!

How does it know $2 is the document root directory?

How do i chown it to the user?

#!/bin/awk -f
/^DocumentRoot/ {
system(&quot;mkdir &quot; $2 &quot;/img&quot
}
/^User/ {
system(&quot;chown &quot; $3.$3 &quot;/img&quot
}

That tells me...
chown: too few arguments

Read up on how AWK assigns input text to field variables

DocumentRoot /home/a/public_html
red is $1
green is $2

> How do i chown it to the user?
You can't really do that until you've seen the Group line in the file.
Group abefro

So you need to record some information within the AWK program from previous lines

#!/bin/awk -f

# get the root directory
# and append the image subdirectory name
/^DocumentRoot/ {
    directory = $2 "/img"
}

# get the user from the User line
/^User/ {
    user = $2
}

# get the group from the Group line
# and perform all the commands
/^Group/ {
    group = $2

    # now we have all we need
    system( "mkdir " directory )
    system( "chown " user ":" group " " directory )
}
