Essential Bash Scripts for Efficient Server Operations and Automation

This article compiles a set of practical Bash scripts that cover MySQL replication monitoring, directory change detection with real‑time sync, bulk user creation, website health checks, remote command execution, one‑click LNMP deployment, resource usage reporting, high‑CPU process identification, and automated Java/Tomcat and PHP project deployments.

Essential Bash Scripts for Efficient Server Operations and Automation

Monitor MySQL master‑slave synchronization status script

<code>#!/bin/bash
HOST=localhost
USER=root
PASSWD=123.com
IO_SQL_STATUS=$(mysql -h$HOST -u$USER -p$PASSWD -e 'show slave status\G' 2>/dev/null |awk '/Slave_.*_Running:/{print $1$2}')
for i in $IO_SQL_STATUS; do
    THREAD_STATUS_NAME=${i%:*}
    THREAD_STATUS=${i#*:}
    if [ "$THREAD_STATUS" != "Yes" ]; then
        echo "Error: MySQL Master-Slave $THREAD_STATUS_NAME status is $THREAD_STATUS!" |mail -s "Master-Slave Staus" [email protected]
    fi
done</code>

Directory file change monitoring and real‑time sync

<code>#!/bin/bash
MON_DIR=/opt
inotifywait -mqr --format %f -e create $MON_DIR |\
while read files; do
    rsync -avz /opt /tmp/opt
    echo "$(date +'%F %T') create $files" | mail -s "dir monitor" [email protected]
done</code>

Batch create 100 users and set passwords script

<code>#!/bin/bash
DATE=$@
USER_FILE=user.txt
for USER in $USER_LIST; do
    if ! id $USER >/dev/null; then
        PASS=$(echo $RANDOM |md5sum |cut -c 1-8)
        useradd $USER
        echo $PASS |passwd --stdin $USER >/dev/null
        echo "$USER   $PASS" >> $USER_FILE
        echo "$USER User create successful."
    else
        echo "$USER User already exists!"
    fi
done</code>

Batch website health check script

<code>#!/bin/bash
URL_LIST="www.baidu.com www.ctnrs.com"
for URL in $URL_LIST; do
    FAIL_COUNT=0
    for ((i=1;i<=3;i++)); do
        HTTP_CODE=$(curl -o /dev/null --connect-timeout 3 -s -w "%{http_code}" $URL)
        if [ $HTTP_CODE -eq 200 ]; then
            echo "$URL OK"
            break
        else
            echo "$URL retry $FAIL_COUNT"
            let FAIL_COUNT++
        fi
    done
    if [ $FAIL_COUNT -eq 3 ]; then
        echo "Warning: $URL Access failure!"
    fi
done</code>

Batch remote command execution script

<code>#!/bin/bash
COMMAND=$*
HOST_INFO=host.info
for IP in $(awk '/^[^#]/{print $1}' $HOST_INFO); do
    USER=$(awk -v ip=$IP 'ip==$1{print $2}' $HOST_INFO)
    PORT=$(awk -v ip=$IP 'ip==$1{print $3}' $HOST_INFO)
    PASS=$(awk -v ip=$IP 'ip==$1{print $4}' $HOST_INFO)
    expect -c "
        spawn ssh -p $PORT $USER@$IP
        expect {\
            \"(yes/no)\" {send \"yes\r\"; exp_continue}\
            \"password:\" {send \"$PASS\r\"; exp_continue}\
            \"$USER@*\" {send \"$COMMAND\r exit\r\"; exp_continue}\
