14.3 Using variables in shell scripts
Regular expressions can be used when searching for Univention Configuration Registry variables in order
only to display variables which correspond to a predetermined search template. Univention Configuration
Registry supports all regular expressions which are supported by the python module re. An extensive
explanation of the syntax can be found in the documentation of the re module. It can also be displayed
with the command pydoc re in the command line on UCS systems. The following gives some examples:
• Search for all Univention Configuration Registry variables which begin with ’ldap’ or ’ssl’:
univention-config-registry search ’^(ldap|ssl)’
• Search for all Univention Configuration Registry variables which include ’ssl’ or ’ssh’:
univention-config-registry search ’ss(l|h)’
• Search for all Univention Configuration Registry variables with a current value composed of the
string ’mail’, any character string and the string ’Address’. The asterisk (*) is used to determine that
preceding characters should occur never, once or more than once. To use the asterisk for different
characters as in the bash shell, it must be used in combination with the full stop (.) as a wildcard for
an alphanumeric character.
univention-config-registry search --value ’mail.*Address’
Individual Univention Configuration Registry variables can be displayed with the parameter get. Unlike the
parameters dump and search only the current value of the Univention Configuration Registry variable is
shown here without variable names.
# univention-config-registry get ldap/server/name
master.firma.de
# univention-config-registry get ldap/server/ip

14.3 Using variables in shell scripts
The parameter shell is used to display Univention Configuration Registry variables and their current as-
signments in a format that can be used in shell scripts.
univention-config-registry shell
This command displays the values of all Univention Configuration Registry variables as a pair per line as
variablenname="wert"
Different conversions are involved in this: forward slashes in variable names are replaced with underscores
and characters in the values which have a particular significance in shell scripts are included in quotation
marks to ensure they are not altered.
Individual values can be displayed when the shell parameter is expanded with the desired variable name:
univention-config-registry shell ldap/server/name
