#!/bin/bash - #=============================================================================== # # FILE: do_brave # # USAGE: ./do_brave # # DESCRIPTION: Run the Brave browser to view completed notes # # OPTIONS: --- # REQUIREMENTS: --- # BUGS: 2020-06-01: New version of Brave (now called 'brave-browser') # necessitates changes in how this script was originally # designed. The softlink between hpr????.out and hpr????.html # has been converted to a hard link. # NOTES: We use a link 'do_browser' to point to whichever script runs # the preferred browser. It's been Brave for several years now, # but we haven't changed this! # 2022-12-22: We now write state changes to the file .status in # the show directory, so we need to do that here too. Also # changed to using the function library for cleanup_temp. # AUTHOR: Dave Morriss (djm), Dave.Morriss@gmail.com # VERSION: 0.0.5 # CREATED: 2016-03-20 15:22:29 # REVISION: 2022-12-22 17:28:12 # #=============================================================================== set -o nounset # Treat unset variables as an error SCRIPT=${0##*/} #DIR=${0%/*} # # Load library functions # LIB="$HOME/bin/function_lib.sh" [ -e "$LIB" ] || { echo "$SCRIPT: Unable to source functions"; exit 1; } # shellcheck source=/home/cendjm/bin/function_lib.sh source "$LIB" # # Basic validation # if [[ $# -ne 1 ]]; then echo "Usage $SCRIPT shownumber" exit 1 fi # # Directories and files # BASENAME="$HOME/HPR/Show_Submission" SHOWDIR="$BASENAME/shownotes/hpr${1}" RAWNOTES="$SHOWDIR/hpr${1}.out" HTML="$SHOWDIR/hpr${1}.html" FULLHTML="$SHOWDIR/hpr${1}_full.html" STATUSFILE="$SHOWDIR/.status" HTMLFILE="$FULLHTML" # # Check we have this browser # BRAVE=$(command -v brave-browser) [[ -v BRAVE ]] || { echo "Problem finding the Brave browser"; exit 1; } # # We prefer to view the 'full' html which we do by default.
