Voici un exemple de script réalisant une copie de CD à CD

Ce script n'est pas de moi, mais je ne sait plus où je l'ai trouvé sur le net

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

1. !/bin/bash
2. copy-cd.sh: copying a data CD

CDROM=/dev/cdrom # CD ROM device OF=/home/bozo/projects/cdimage.iso # output file

1. /xxxx/xxxxxxx/ Change to suit your system.

BLOCKSIZE=2048 SPEED=2 # May use higher speed if supported.

echo; echo "Insert source CD, but do *not* mount it." echo "Press ENTER when ready. " read ready # Wait for input, $ready not used.

echo; echo "Copying the source CD to $OF." echo "This may take a while. Please be patient."

dd if=$CDROM of=$OF bs=$BLOCKSIZE # Raw device copy.

echo; echo "Remove data CD." echo "Insert blank CDR." echo "Press ENTER when ready. " read ready # Wait for input, $ready not used.

echo "Copying $OF to CDR."

cdrecord -v -isosize speed=$SPEED dev=0,0 $OF

1. Uses Joerg Schilling's "cdrecord" package (see its docs).
2. http://www.fokus.gmd.de/nthp/employees/schilling/cdrecord.html

echo; echo "Done copying $OF to CDR on device $CDROM."

echo "Do you want to erase the image file (y/n)? " # Probably a huge file. read answer

case "$answer" in [yY]) rm -f $OF

     echo "$OF erased."
     ;;   

• ) echo "$OF not erased.";;

esac

echo

1. Exercise:
2. Change the above "case" statement to also accept "yes" and "Yes" as input.

exit 0 </syntaxhighlight>
