Title: a question about speeding up a script in linux Post by: sphinx on March 04, 2023, 04:24:38 16:24 sorry might not be the right place to ask
i have made a short/small bash script in linux(debian sid) which i am using to update my collection of "deb" files i like to be on hand i am wondering if there is a way/ways to speed it up #START #!/bin/sh # get list of DEB packages in folder sort them and delete duplicates debdata=`ls /var/cache/apt/archives | cut -d"_" -f1 | sort | uniq -u` # get each package from debdata for debpackage in $debdata ; do # print on screen echo $debpackage # only download package quietly no install apt-get -y -d -qq reinstall $debpackage done # END |
