  • AI Written Bash Script

    From DrStevenStrange@3:770/3 to All on Thu Dec 12 12:43:14 2024
    Ok - don't laugh

    My coding skills are pitiful so I asked my resident Ai to write a bash
    script to call a webcam script (I did write this one) only between
    sunrise and sunset. it produced this and it works! My question is - how
    can I amend the script so it starts 30 minutes BEFORE sunrise and stops
    30 Minutes after?

    #!/bin/bash

    # Set your latitude and longitude
    LATITUDE="mine"
    LONGITUDE="mine"

    # Fetch sunrise and sunset times in UTC
    SUN_TIMES=$(curl -s "https://api.sunrise-sunset.org/json?lat=$LATITUDE&lng=$LONGITUDE&formatted=0") SUNRISE=$(echo $SUN_TIMES | jq -r '.results.sunrise')
    SUNSET=$(echo $SUN_TIMES | jq -r '.results.sunset')

    # Convert sunrise and sunset times to seconds since epoch
    SUNRISE_EPOCH=$(date -d "$SUNRISE" +%s)
    SUNSET_EPOCH=$(date -d "$SUNSET" +%s)
    CURRENT_EPOCH=$(date +%s)

    # Check if the current time is between sunrise and sunset
    if [ $CURRENT_EPOCH -ge $SUNRISE_EPOCH ] && [ $CURRENT_EPOCH -le
    $SUNSET_EPOCH ]; then
    echo "It's between sunrise and sunset. Running the other script..."
    # Call the other script
    ./webcam.sh # Replace with the path to your script
    else
    echo "It's not between sunrise and sunset."
    fi

    Since you already have the date/times in seconds since the epoch, just add/subtract 30 minutes worth of seconds for AFTER and BEFORE!

    Why not just ask the AI goonbot to do that?

    How about

    SUNRISE_EPOCH=$(($(date -d "$SUNRISE" +%s) - 1800))
    SUNSET_EPOCH=$(($(date -d "$SUNSET" +%s) + 1800))
