Test the result coming from a ksh function

Leo The Cat — Wed, 04 May 2011 12:40:45 GMT

Hi Guys

Example

function GetFileSize {
XX=$(du -m /su01/odb_Local_OracleCRSlogMngt.ksh | awk '{print $1}')
return $XX
}

...
...

X=$(GetFileSize $i)
if (( $X <= 100 )) ; then
echo "<= 100"
else
echo ">100"
fi

I have a file where I'm sure that size is 500 MB and it never comes as > 100 !

Where is my mistake ?

Bests regards
Den

I' not sure which shell are you using, but in ksh I would implement that if branch this way:

if [ "$X" -le "100" ]; then
echo "<= 100"
else
echo ">100"
fi

where "-le" stands for "lesser than or equal", see "man test"

;-) My mistake

function GetFileSize {
XX=$(du -m /su01/odb_Local_OracleCRSlogMngt.ksh | awk '{print $1}')
return $XX
}

is wrong

function GetFileSize {
XX=$(du -m $1 | awk '{print $1}')
return $XX
}

Of course, I was scanning always the same files.

Sorry Guys
Den
