Look at to your parent directory plus /root/adstar/
adstar.tar extracts it's contents to your current directory plus /root/adstar/ take a look:

Code:

root@kali:~# tar xvf adstar.tar
root/adstar/adstar
root/adstar/adstar.sh
root/adstar/adstar-HOW TOS.txt
root@kali:~# cd /root/root/adstar
root@kali:~/root/adstar# pwd
/root/root/adstar

@repzeroworld
My friend, maybe it's a good idea to change adstar.tar to extract it's contents to parent directory plus adstar folder and not /root/adstar/

I was trying to compress all file into .tar file but i notice that .tar file is placing the adstar folder in a "/root" folder...any ideas Nick on the command line you use to compress..? it could be my command line arguments i am using to compress....

Hi repzeroworld,

Just don't give the full path to adstar folder. Take a look:

Code:

root@kali:~/root# ls
adstar Desktop
root@kali:~/root# tar -cvf adstar.tar adstar
adstar/
adstar/adstar-HOW TOS.txt
adstar/adstar.sh
adstar/adstar

but if you do:

Code:

root@kali:~# ls
adstar  Desktop
root@kali:~# tar -cvf adstar.tar /root/adstar
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/root/adstar/
/root/adstar/adstar-HOW TOS.txt
/root/adstar/adstar.sh
/root/adstar/adstar

and if you extract adstar.tar then the extracted contents will placed at parent directory plus /root/adstar/.

if you want better compression ration you can use bz2 algorithm:

Code:

tar cjf adstart.tar.bz2 adstar

also you can change this:

Code:

##Let's see...determine my working directory
script_dir=`dirname "$0"`;
if [ -e "$script_dir/adstar" ];then
cd ~;
cp -f "$script_dir/adstar" /etc/;
fi
if [ ! -e "$script_dir/adstar" ];then
echo "Exiting...adstar program not found within this script's directory";
exit
fi
....
.....

to this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
##Let's see...determine my working directory
script_dir=`pwd`

if [ -e "$script_dir" ];then
	cp -f "$script_dir/adstar" /etc/adstar
else
	echo "Exiting...adstar program not found within this script's directory"
	exit 1
fi

##adding directory path to .bashrc file
path_check=`cat /root/.bashrc| grep -F 'export PATH=/etc:$PATH'`
if [ -n "$path_check" ]; then
	echo -e "\e[32m\e[1mexisting adstar path found...."
	sleep 1
	echo "continuing..."
	sleep 1
else
	echo "export PATH=/etc:"$PATH"" >> /root/.bashrc
	source /root/.bashrc
fi
echo "Successful!...."
echo "To use adstar type 'adstar <command line>' in terminal!"
###

basically it's almost the same thing but I like it most this way

COMPRESSION WITH TAR (I SEE)
i see when using tar it is the path directories being created..THANKS(i think the tar help menu should be a little more detailed with this..haven't made time to expirement with tar compression feature)

CHANGING "dirname" to "pwd"
changing dirname $0 to pwd will only store WORKING directory into variable and this can cause problems with locating the actual adstar folder is..let us take a look at what happen

USING A MODIFIED SCRIPT BELOW WITH "PWD" WILL CAUSE SCRIPT NOT TO DETECT WORKING DIRECTORY OF SCRIPT

YOUR CODES

#!/bin/bash
##Let's see...determine my working directory
script_dir=`pwd`
echo "$script_dir";

RESULTS

root@kali:~# '/root/adstar/ad.sh'
/root #parent working directory and not the script working directory..remember this part of the code is to detect if adstar is in the SCRIPT'S WORKING DIRECTORY (in case someone move it)

MY CODES

#!/bin/bash
root@kali:~# '/root/adstar/ad.sh'
/root/adstar

##Let's see...determine my working directory
script_dir=`dirname $0`
echo "$script_dir";

RESULTS
root@kali:~# '/root/adstar/ad.sh'
/root/adstar #WORKING DIRECTORY OF SCRIPT WHICH SHOULD ALSO HAVE ADSTAR PROGRAM..SUCESSFUL DECTECTION

TO:NICK_THE_GREEK
whenever i am doing an updated version of adstar I WILL COMPRESS THIS WAY WITHOUT PATH DIRECTORY..CHEERS

Man, I understand what are saying but you must test again you sh script. Since you are suggesting in your adstar-HOW TOS.txt to:

1. Execute adstar.sh bash script in a terminal. This script will install
adstar to your terminal .bashrc file so that you can use the adstar
program from the terminal.
command:
#bash adstar.sh

that require to be into the adstar directory.
Let's see again:

Code:

root@kali:~# cd adstar
root@kali:~/adstar# ls
adstar  adstar-HOW TOS.txt  adstar.sh
root@kali:~/adstar# bash adstar.sh
cp: omitting directory `./adstar'
existing adstar path found....
continuing...
Successful!....
To use adstar type 'adstar <command line>' in terminal!
root@kali:~/adstar# adstar
bash: adstar: command not found

adstar was not copied to /etc/ and in .bash file was added the line that you want BUT $PATH was added as a word not as an variable, which look like this:

Code:

# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable
# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
  if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
    . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
  elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . /etc/bash_completion
  fi
fi
-e 
export PATH=/etc:$PATH

See? Are you running your sh script in a different OS than Kali?
The same results are coming when I extract you .tar file to a different location let's say /root/Desktop/

Code:

root@kali:~/Desktop# cd adstar
root@kali:~/Desktop/adstar# ls
adstar  adstar-HOW TOS.txt  adstar.sh
root@kali:~/Desktop/adstar# bash adstar.sh
cp: cannot stat `./adstar': No such file or directory
Exiting...adstar program not found within this script's directory

Anyway. Run it your self in Kali and you will found your way.

Glad I helped with tar.
Keep up you good work repzeroworld!
